Steam has the best UI
  • Also a great VR Headset and the runtime used by this and many other VR Headsets. If anyone is actually innovating it's Valve. Everyone else is mostly trying to catch up to the features Steam provides.

    Steam isn't just the client, it's also a ton of APIs (steamworks sdk) and services available to developers for integration with Steam, Steam workshop, distribution of updates, cloud save, multiplayer, chat, achievements etc.

    No other launcher comes even close in terms of functionality even if the UI isn't perfect.

  • ‘If 1.5m Germans have them there must be something in it’: how balcony solar is taking off
  • We have regulations here in Germany (EU wide even if I am not mistaken). The solar inverters used are required to shut off within I think 200ms of the 50hz grid power going down. The inverters sold here can't output anything without grid power being detected on the AC output.

    Why is everyone in this thread making assumptions and spreading fear instead of actually looking up how it works?

  • Intel says integrating RAM into Lunar Lake SoC was a mistake, might abandon desktop GPUs again
  • Nvidia does more than just GPUs.

    Nvidia makes both SoCs like the Tegra series and server CPUs (Grace; ARM based to be used with their ML/AI cards with much higher bandwidths than regular CPUs).

    Nvidia also just announced that they are working on a consumer desktop CPU.

  • Windows Recall is secretly installed and enabled on non-Copilot+PCs (Privacy Nightmare)
  • I can speak from experience having used both wired (Index) and wireless (Pico 4 with ALVR) VR on Linux and the performance and stability is horrible. Always has been sadly. I can play some VR games on Linux but overall it's not worth it in the current state.

  • Microsoft is bringing annoying Windows 11 Start menu ads to Windows 10
  • Just like Windows 10 was announced to be the last Windows version and it was supposed to be a rolling release product.

    And then they needed to artificially restrict what hardware Windows runs on to please the OEMs and their computer sales so we got Windows 11, cutting off a lot of recent and still more than capable enough hardware ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • An alternate timeline
  • Have a look at Wayfire. It's a Wayland compositor that implements a lot of the compiz effects/plugins. I recently found that but haven't tried it myself as I don't really care about wobbly windows and cubes as much as I did 15+ years ago when I first tried compiz as a teenager :D
