Day of Defeat Source 2.1 just a week away!
Microsoft has the OpenCL, OpenGL, Vulkan compatibility pack. Major issue is that it's just Mesa compiled to a D3D12 GPU backend, so if you have anything but Snapdragon it's basically useless.
Without being hands on, it's difficult to make a direct comparison. There's 2 processors according to CNX [0], and the HP core's instruction set might roughly be comparable to M55. [0]…
It's unfortunately par for the course for something like a console to be like this. Consoles are often subsidized by licensing and publishing costs of games, so preventing you from running your own software is within…
Judging by how every single TSA agent is horrifically trained and doesn't have a drop of care in the world, abolishing the TSA would be a step up from having it.
I have to wonder if the Nintendo Switch picking up the Tegra X1 SOC has something to do with it. There's a good chance a lot of components of the (custom microkernel) operating system are derived from Android, and with…
RISC-V Vector is roughly equivalent to MMX, SSE, and AVX. A lot of tasks without those instructions are flat out slower without.
Thing about RISC-V is that there are technically no barriers on doing as you see fit, but there's very clearly defined lines where community support isn't guaranteed, like custom extensions or screwing with already…
Cache issues add another layer here, if it's not the whole issue. Device tree patches for the K3 have 2 clusters of 4 cores with shared 4MB L2 cache per cluster. Core 2 Duo P8400 has 3MB L2 shared between 2 cores, and…
LoongArch is a weird mix of MIPS and RISC-V. There's not much that would be gained by investing a whole bunch into LoongArch that couldn't also be done to RISC-V, if at all.
KWin/Xorg AFAIK has been on maintanence duty (i.e. fixes mostly come from XWayland) for >5 years now. KDE has expulsed the Xorg codebase of KWin into a seperate repo in preparation of a Wayland only future. Even if…
My 2 cents is that Geely could leverage their existing Volvo and Polestar dealership network much like KIA/Hyundai. Geely Holdings own ~80% of Volvo cars, and a majority share of Polestar. Polestar doesn't own any…
There's something to be said that mass production is another distinct stage of invention. Karl Benz may have invented the first internal combustion engine car, and plenty more built cars by hand for the rich, but Henry…
$1M to the US Government is like dropping pennies, less than that actually. By the READMEs, this font is actually a modification to another font and more sleuthing revealed that the author actually worked on this in his…
Why assume that a game has to be made? Making a handful of tech demos doesn't come with that baggage and deflects criticism of making an empty shell of an engine with nothing to speak of.
Microsoft offers Windows on ARM servers. Could slam the Windows ARM ISO on a 3rd party VPS as well.
An interesting fact is that the first gen US Honda Odyssey minivan completely lacks slide out doors commonly associated with the vehicle type.
The move to 48v is very much about efficiency within the harness backbone. For the same wattage, less amperage is needed in a higher voltage system, meaning the wires can be smaller and they produce less waste heat.…
macOS has like no features already, and they keep removing more.
Chemotherapy is essentially a bet that the drugs will kill the cancer faster than you. Because ultimately, cancer isn't a virus, bacteria, fungus, parasite, nor even a prion (this one is nightmare fuel) -- it's your own…
Don't completely rule out EBCDIC from the equation. It's generally an IBM-ism meant for punched cards with the same characters as ASCII. Despite the similarity, it means that it's a legacy system kept alive to now and…
RDP is functionality that has to be built into the compositor, rather than a pretty integral part of X itself. WSLg (Windows Subsystem for Linux [2] GUI) works via RDP, and it's Wayland only too.
Just looked through my TV, webOS uses Busybox.
Yes
