  • One of the reasons people do use roads is that they are often flatter and in better condition, and you're not competing for space with children and dogs. But better that than cars with all the risks that come with them (collisions and noise/air pollution).

    However, the health benefits of regular exercise tend to outweigh the risk of air pollution (although perhaps not in severely polluted cities like in parts of India). So it's probably still worth if that's the most convenient place to exercise, if you can minimise the safety risk at least.

  • Intel provides solid Linux support, I’d say it’s probably on par with AMD.

    I'd say in the long run yes, but they tend to be slower at adding features compared to AMD (which tends to be where all of the experimental stuff happens first). Or rather that AMD cards are often the first target for Mesa developers, which includes the likes of Valve.

  • Property Council SA is mentioned later in the article. And in this case, they are right, as this is another subsidy for people with gigantic vehicles that must be borne by all of the people that have smaller cars (or no cars at all).

  • I go even further and set the proportion to 100%, since ZSTD compresses so well (and the % is based on uncompressed usage).

    There are theoretically some cases where zram can be harmful, but in general I find it works reliably.

  • A bit of a downside is that the minimum driver requirements are pretty aggressive at the moment, so people could be stuck using WineD3D without realising it. But I suppose crashing isn't really much better. And people who play games should use a distribution that moves pretty quickly in general.

  • Yes, although the approach that was fixed only applies to Hyprland and some other wlroots compositors. You can use the virtual edid approach on other systems, but it may not be supported on Nvidia GPUs. You can also use it as a simple supersampling method, such as rendering at 1600p to a Steam Deck, for example.

  • It looks like mainly a Hyprland fix (and maybe some wlroots based compositors). The old method still works with sway for me, and there's a another approach using a virtual edid that should work everywhere, but perhaps not with Nvidia cards (see here: https://discuss.kde.org/t/how-to-create-a-virtual-monitor-display/2725/5).

    I'm not sure if Plasma or Gnome have any support for headless monitors outside of the EDID method.

  • Clean living in his view just means focusing on "natural" things. Which means swimming and drinking shit water is safe, but anything "artificial" is dangerous. So he's certainly not going to care about pathogens in the food supply, because he doesn't believe they are dangerous.

  • It's so LFC works properly. If there isn't a large range to work with, you can end up with gaps where VRR doesn't work, causing stuttering or tearing. LFC is needed in general because you want VRR to still work when FPS drops below the minimum frame rate. And while it's more of an issue with OLED displays there can be negative side effects such as flickering if the display minimum refresh rate is set too low.

  • The 120Hz refresh rate doesn’t seem to make a lot of sense if frames can’t even transition at a rate that keeps up with it.

    The main use is for VRR, with bigger ranges making it more usable (and input latency should improve, but few games are going to run at 120fps). However, it seems like the feature is mostly broken in retail games, with it only really working in that paid tie-in game.
