So what? Fuck Safari. Hardly anyone uses it anyway.

I like Windows 11. It has the best HDR support of any OS, bar none. AutoHDR is a godsend.

My only complaint is about the taskbar, which I fixed by installing StartAllBack.

DLSS is AI upscaling, right?

No, not DLSS. RTX Video Enhancement. Makes YouTube look so much better.

I think the program nvidia-settings has that? Try it out!

It does not. I’m talking about this page. Almost every game in existence is missing several settings that are on this page, especially GPU Power Management Mode, Negative LOD Bias, Max Framerate in the Background, and Max VR Prerendered Frames.

Does that driver support SDR to HDR conversation, AI upacaling, and most importantly: the 3D Settings page? I can live without the first two features, but I can’t believe that there is no 3D Settings page in Linux. It has so many graphics settings that aren’t available in most games.

And yes, AMD GPUs can’t keep up. Especially if you like Ray Tracing. I’m not an AMD hater; I have a 7700X

Lucky. I couldn’t get HDR working properly, and most of my GPU features were missing because Nvidia refuses to support Linux (and AMD GPUs can’t keep up). So I had to go back to Windows.

Been trying to switch to Linux since 2004. I’ll try again in 5 years.

Same but I hate cleaning the tank. So messy and smelly.

No problem; it’s a common English mistake, even for native speakers.

You meant “wary”. Weary means tired. Wary means suspicious.

APUs obviously weren’t a thing yet, and it was common knowledge back then that contemporary iGPUs were complete and utter trash. I mean they were so weak that you couldn’t even play HD video or even enable some of XP’s very basic graphical effects with most integrated graphics.

Everyone knew that you needed a dedicated graphics card back then, so you can and should in fact put some blame on the consumer for being dumb enough to buy a PC without one, regardless of what the sticker said. I mean I was a teenager back then and even still I knew better. The blame goes both ways.

TweakUAC solved that problem.

Meh, you just needed a discrete GPU, and not even a good one either. Just a basic, bare-bones card with 128MB of VRAM and pixel shader 2.0 support would have sufficed, but sadly most users didn’t even have that back in 06-08.

It was mostly the consumer’s fault for buying cheap garbage laptops with trash-tier iGPUs in them, and the manufacturer’s for slapping a “compatible with Vista” sticker on them and pushing those shitboxes on consumers. If you had a half-decent $700-800 PC then, Vista ran like a dream.

Firefox has PiP? Last time I saw that feature, it was the 90s and it was on a TV.

This is why we shouldn’t ban Critical Race Theory.

The people who invented C++ never went outside, otherwise they would have never invented C++.

I would love nothing more than for a piece of software to be “finished”, like the old days. This is why I don’t play mobile games, cause every time I want to kill five minutes while waiting in a line or something, I first have to download a 1GB+ update that will take an hour to download on my shitty prepaid line.

“He”? I thought it was a brand of headphones lol

I’m not a programmer.

I used to think that I’d be glued to my PC forever, but ever since getting a foldable I’ve found that I’m no longer reliant on computers anymore for daily tasks. Plus there’s no point in eating up 300w of electricity during the summer (according to my watt meter), just to watch YouTube.

These days the only time I boot my PC is to play a game, search for a job, or make a large purchase. I’m a MilleniaI, so big purchases have to be done on the big computer. The phone is more than adequate for everything else. It’s not the 2010s anymore; phone screens are finally large enough now to replace a PC, and there’s an Android equivalent for almost everything a computer can do.

Man, even when I try to be diplomatic I still get berated.

Should have just said fuck you and called it a day. (kidding)

By “zip file”, I meant a compressed archive. I’m not as nerdy as you guys are so I see now that there is a difference. I appreciate the correction.

That said, you have to admit that it’s still cool that these different file formats are nothing more than archives. Maybe not to you but it blew my mind when I first learned this.
