Why does the government of the USA stand by the country of Israel?
  • Strangers on the internet are not qualified to answer deeply complex questions like this despite what they might think.

    Foreign affairs is something that people dedicate their lives to studying and understanding. I seriously doubt those experts are here answering this question.

    Do you notice how all of the answers you’ve received are inconsistent with each other?

    When investing your money, what is considered a good rate of return?
  • It depends on the risk involved. The US stock market has returned around 7% annually averaged over a very long period of time. That’s considered the benchmark for investments with significant risk.

    Is it worth the solar panels I'm getting?
  • The price seems ok. There’s more to consider than price though. Do people dislike them because of the quality of their work?

    Fallout 4 Next Gen Update Discussion
  • Thanks for linking this. It doesn’t include the PlayStation specific bug fixes unfortunately.

    I found the official patch notes https://bethesda.net/en/article/4RcipuAES2k0KP7eYf2DwD/fallout-4-next-gen-patch-notes

    It doesn’t mention fixes for several bugs that I remember.. really hoping those notes just aren’t exhaustive.

    Just started playing it this morning on my PS5. I’m perpetually frustrated by Bethesdas snail like pace when it comes to this type of thing but the update seems excellent so far.

    It’s running at a buttery smooth 120 FPS in quality mode with VRR on. I thought for sure their performance mode would be limited to 60 FPS so this is amazing.

    Edit: apparently quality mode is a 40 FPS target internally with VRR enabled. Performance mode is 60 FPS as expected. So it’s doing frame multiplying to boost it up to 120. Still feels and looks incredible though. Quality mode is native 4K with ultra settings and looks crispy as fuck.

    The TF2 64-bit update has landed
  • Yes, it has been supported for a couple of years. No clue why the other commenter said no.

    To be fair your question is kinda silly because a quick google search would have revealed the truth.

    The TF2 64-bit update has landed
  • They could have compiled the game for Mac using the same techniques used for this update. The likelihood that Valve will recompile any of their games for Mac seems very low though.

    They already have the tooling needed to compile old source games to render via Vulkan but I don’t think they’ve created an equivalent for Metal.

    TIL personal credit scores only started in 1989
  • Credit scores didn’t exist but credit bureaus date back to the mid 1800s in the USA. Also, as others have mentioned creditors would do their due diligence and try to assert that you would be able to pay back your loans by doing many of the same things they do now.

    This really isn’t some new, crazy concept like you’re making it out to be. The score has only simplified the process.

    TIL personal credit scores only started in 1989
  • uh.. that’s exactly how it worked. The Wikipedia page you linked mentions credit bureaus. If you go to that page you can see they were established in the USA by the mid 1800s. Yes, it was all done on paper. That’s how the world used to work.

    Linux Developers To Meet Again To Work On HDR, Color Management & VRR
  • VRR isn’t supported by default by most distros. Just because it works with your setup doesn’t mean it works for others.

    Also, this event seems to be primarily focused on AMD/Mesa support.

    Linux Developers To Meet Again To Work On HDR, Color Management & VRR
  • Err.. no it doesn’t. There are so many bug reports of neither HDR nor VRR working properly with the steam deck. My deck won’t even dock properly with my TV after recent updates.

    It’s better than most other linuxes in the sense that it works sometimes I guess.

    Starfield FSR 3 Support Arriving This Month; New Steam Beta Branch Next Week
  • This patch is awesome. FSR3 looks so much better than FSR2. The frame generation seems to work pretty well on my desktop. I can run the game at 1080p ultra with my midrange system now and even in new Atlantis and what not it’s managing at least 60 fps and it really feels quite good.

    Combine that with all of the graphical artifacting fixes from the previous patches and the game looks really gorgeous now imo.

  • I thought that it was overall good fun. The battle system is excellent and the music is great. The characters are cool and generally quite enjoyable. However, the standard ending of the game really annoyed me. It’s totally anti-climactic. I really don’t want to go back and do a bunch of side quests (collectathon in particular) to unlock the true ending.

    I'm using KDE Neon with the latest version of Plasma. Sometimes I get a warning that my SSD has poor health and may die soon. When I check the SMART stats the drive seems fairly healthy. Is this just a Plasma bug?

    Have any of you gotten XeSS mods working with Starfield? They seem to either do nothing or make my game crash.

    Hello everyone. I've read some posts before about Linux behaving poorly when using multiple monitors that have a different refresh rate.

    Does anybody here know if X11 + AMDGPU + Mesa + Gnome handles this correctly? I'm thinking of getting a high refresh rate monitor (120hz+) while keeping my secondary at 60hz.

    I recently bought a Bluetooth USB adapter that supposedly had kernel level support but it didn’t work at all (without patching the kernel .-.)

    Anybody have a good recommendation? Ideally I’d like for it support BT 5.0+ and be supported by the kernel.

    I’m kind of tired of my nvidia GPU. I feel like my desktop is fairly unstable and I suspect it might be the culprit. What’s your experience been like using AMD?

    edit: Y'all inspired me. I've just bought a new RX6600 for $180. Seems like a good deal. :)
