I was beyond belief that such a tier list could exist without it.

2·17 days agoNot much of a story to tell, honestly. I still have some e-mail receipts from around that time, but here’s a Reddit post about the idea: https://redd.it/2ehu1r
I got one in like 2009 or so as a student at university. It literally paid for itself, because it also let me get a discount on a new laptop that was bigger than the price I paid the Linux Foundation.
I can confirm that my linux.com e-mail is still active, and I’ve changed where it forwards over the years.
Just make sure that wherever you’re forwarding it, you can reply from that same address. GMail has been fine for this, but when I switched to a different provider that didn’t support this, conversations started getting awkward.
OK, but it sure dampens the impact of what CNN was saying there.
Going from “he kept going on and on about how X was trying to take him out, but he could never prove it” directly to “fortunately, X was able to take him out” in the very next sentence is… an odd choice.
That’s beyond our borders. You must never go there, Simba.

I haven’t used it myself in forever, but IIRC this was another bigger attempt at this kind of thing.
10·3 months agoYes, all of that, PLUS the impacts of this very related news which will make the impact even worse:

edit: oh I see,
nvidia-utilsis still a closed thing and the only alternative is Zink/NVK unless you go back to nouveau. I got it confused with something else. carry on
Hard no, with an Nvidia GPU you absolutely should go for a distro like Bazzite to avoid the driver headache.
I switched to AMD for my own use a long time ago because of how this used to be the case, so I can’t verify this for myself, but… these days, isn’t that no longer an issue for anyhing newer than Turing? I see RTX 3060 TI in there, which should be fully supported by the open-source drivers that NVIDIA themselves recommend for that hardware, no?
Again, I could be wrong since I haven’t had direct personal experience with it since the days when I DO know that your statement accurately reflected the NVIDIA GPU + Linux driver situation.
If shaders don’t get preprocessed, then a lot of the same work has to happen later, it just shows up as a seemingly random frame that takes particularly long to render.
(edit to add:) or a section where some of the rendering doesn’t look quite right initially, if they do asynchronous rendering.
In the limit, the sum of all these delays can add up to the same amount of time that the preprocessing WOULD have taken, but you also don’t necessarily use every shader every time you play every game, so YMMV.
Generally, those who need to ask how to install a drill bit into a drill are not typically the people who should turn around and immediately proceed to drilling holes into important things.
JPEG also supports lossless compression.
Technically, the spec does require it, but given that we’re in a thread about ecosystem support for a file format that’s approaching its 15th birthday, it’s worth considering how many image viewers will actually be able to work without the DCT step that is the essence of what typical JPEG does.
I don’t have a Windows machine handy to test, but it’s entirely possible that maybe lossless JPEG won’t display in its default viewer.
