Need? No. But hardware acceleration makes things faster and more efficient.

Those cost money too

Well if everything’s working correctly you’d want the desktop itself to stay close to the sdr values but have applications that are HDR capable to make use of it. Otherwise you’re limited to full screen apps making use of it.

I can recommend this site for up-to-date and fairly neutral parts recommendations split by budget https://www.logicalincrements.com

Four months of prison? It sounds like the man is disconnected from reality but hardly a real threat to society.

Or just don’t use it

Ah I did some more research and what I said only applies to the older Elgato devices. They did use h264 as the format over usb and you could use that directly without recoding. But they moved to a custom format due to delay and decoding overhead. And ofc you’d want stream ovelays and such which also requires reencoding.

You are correct that the Elgato does video encoding. And that if you use your GPU it’s putting a little bit of extra load on the GPU. But it’s negligible since the video encoding is a separate part of the chip. Maybe you’ll lose a percentage of FPS due to power usage snd bandwidth, but honestly the same is probably true for the CPU load caused by USB bandwidth.

The team at Microsoft that was working on it probably got put on different projects. There wouldn’t be anyone to put in the effort to get the code cleaned up of any proprietary libraries, internal references,… No way they are shifting people back around and paying for development to get this done.

Even the article acknowledges that “The city-state has excellent public transport links by bus and subway”. Clearly the city realizes they are running out of space and want to prioritize people over cars. The remark at the end - " your own family comes first" - just ends up sounding selfish and anti-social.

It does suck that it caters to the rich rather than the needy but taxation is just how you deincentivise certain behaviors in a capitalist society. Hopefully Singapore counters this with subsidized special transport for the handicapped and elderly.

Yeah I was about to post the same. I actually modified my old printer (sparkmaker) to be my curing box. To solve the turning issue I put the LED panel upright by strapping it to the Z linear rail, chopped short the Z lead-screw and attached a lazy Suzan to that screw.

The general consensus in the media is to not name or talk much about the shooter. It gives other troubled kids the opportunity to see them as a role model.

No config. It should just work

What a horrible clickbait title, description and thumbnail. I refuse to click this and give it any views

Unless you have the ability to root it, does it matter? It’s likely a completely custom, stripped down distro anyway.

External communities are just searchable, subscribable and browsable from here. Sometimes you need to change a search filter or default view from Local to All. Or is there something else you feel is missing? I think 90% of the issues people are having are UX related and not a core issue with federation or decentralization.
