While the other response is pretty funny if you know what it means, its entirely unhelpful if you don’t.

/s = sarcasm

There isn’t a completely objective criteria, from Wikipedia:

Federal Reserve Chair Ben Bernanke also defined the term in 2010: “A too-big-to-fail firm is one whose size, complexity, interconnectedness, and critical functions are such that, should the firm go unexpectedly into liquidation, the rest of the financial system and the economy would face severe adverse consequences.”

NVIDIA currently makes up nearly 7.5% of the S&P 500 (not to mention that they have invested a lot in the other companies and those companies have invested in NVIDIA). If they were to suddenly be liquidated I’d say that would cause ‘severe adverse consequences’ to the economy.

And it would likely cause a ripple to other tech companies, which which make up roughly 1/3 of the entire US stock market.

From the utility company, fuck bottled water

nope, the full relativistic energy relation is:

E² = m² c⁴ + p² c²

p is the momentum and for a (massive) particle at rest the momentum p=0, taking the square root if both sides you get the more familiar:

E = m c²

Now a photon (and any other massless particle) can’t be at rest, it is forced to always travel at the speed of light and since it is massless m=0 and the energy becomes (again taking the square root):

E = p c

When a particle has both mass and isn’t at rest (but not traveling anywhere close to the speed of light) the E = m c² is much, much larger than the E = p c part (ignoring that a square root isn’t linear {Hello Dirac}). Because the speed of light c is such a a huge number that squaring it makes it even bigger. It is usually fair to say that mass is ‘equivalent’ to energy, but it isn’t strictly true and actually false for massless particles (or particles traveling close to the speed of light [velocity v~c] -> p=m v~m c -> E = pc ~ m c² , which has close to c² in it).

So photons have energy, not because they have mass (where massive particles have most of their energy), but because they have momentum (p).

You bring up the theoretical black hole from photons, which are called ‘Kugelblitz’ black holes, iirc. They (theoretically could) exist, not because photons have some sort if mass, but because spacetime curves because of the energy content, not mass. Again, for most regular objects, the vast majority of its energy comes from its mass and the momentum doesn’t play a huge role. But for photons all their energy comes from their momentum, since they don’t have any mass.

But were they selling Steam Keys? Sounds to me like Ubisoft was selling a UPlay version of the game for cheaper than the Steam version, which probably didn’t include a Steam Key.

If the UPlay version also included a Steam Key, then yes, Ubisoft would have broken the terms of contract, but that seems unlikely to me.

I think its fair enough for Valve to require that Steam Keys, which use Steam infrastucture, are not sold for less than Steam sells them for, since Valve wouldn’t be making any money on them, but would still have some of the costs associated with delivering the product (and depending on how much Steam infrastructure they use, matchmaking, anti-cheat and other things).

But requiring that keys for other Stores, with their own infrastructure, are never cheaper that Steam is definitely monopolistic, shitty and probably illegal.

Its weird to me that all articles I have found about this issue don’t actually mention this crucial detail.

“Multiple Input Methods Navigate with your TV remote via CEC, a game controller, a keyboard and mouse, or even your phone via KDE Connect.”

Should just work out of the box, I think

Have you tried Wacom?

They have their own TablePCs and manufacturers make Tablet PCs with their digitizers.

There is a community made linux drivers for them, compatible TabletPCs are listed here: https://github.com/linuxwacom/input-wacom/wiki/Device-IDs#tablet-pcs

They also make touch screen monitors that start around $300 (up to thousands) that connect to any PC and should also work under Linux, afaik. Or you could get the cheap ‘old school’ tablets made from plastic that simply move and control the cursor, though they take a while to get used to, IMO.

I think they should’ve called it Electron, since a Proton is a specific particle (or more accurately specific combination of 3 Quarks = Baryon) while Leptons are a whole class of particles (electron, myon, tauon, Neutrinos).

I know Electron is already taken by the JavaScript Software Framework Tool, but still.

Gluon would be a great name to combine all these different tools with each other, where the correct Proton/Lepton/FEX or other (future) translation layers are used automatically, so the user doesn’t need to know that there a different technologies under the hood depending on what your trying to run

Waydroid is a container (like docker), not an emulator. So waydroid on its own on a regular x86 Computer will Run only x86 Android Apps, but if it were installed on an ARM machine (like one if the Snapdragon Laptops) it would run normal (ARM) Android Apps (and no x86).

To run any android app on x86 you need to emulate ARM, which waydroid doesn’t do on its own, but scripts exist to add it to waydroid; https://github.com/casualsnek/waydroid_script

I’m assuming Valves Lepton does all if the for you, as well as using some optimized settings for some of the most popular Apps.

When I last used Waydroid (also about a year ago) I had problems with GPU Acceleration not working. All I wanted was SmartTube on my HTPC, but all videos were insanely choppy and laggy, so I hope they focus on that a lo. (if anyone knows a way to get ad-free YouTube with a TV like interface for free on linux, please let me know :) (I’ve also tried Kodi with a YouTube Plug-In and while it worked, the interface was pretty ass, so I’m just using Firefox with UBlock and a Bluetooth Mouse+Keyboard, which works but it like to be able to control it using just a cheap USB remote that I have)

You sure its dead? My 2 year old pixel was also having issues charging, but I simply used SIM tray tool to poke around the charging port and got A LOT of lint out of it and its as good as new

always check protonDB:

https://www.protondb.com/app/1222670

Looks like most people are using GloriousEggroll’s version of Proton (ProtonGE) and some are using launch options to disable the EA Launcher.

GE works on Wine at Red Hat and is thus very knowledgeable about windows translations and the stuff he changes about Valves Proton are often merged down the line, its like an unofficial beta release and I’ve had good a experience with his proton Versions.

That said, to actually get custom Proton Versions I use “ProtonUp-Qt”(available as flatpak): https://davidotek.github.io/protonup-qt/

Which downloads different Proton Versions and manages them for you. You can then set the default for all games in the steam settings, or on a game-by-game basis

This literally doubles (if not more) the workload to run these benchmarks, not to mention having to write new automation procedures and Steve just not being familiar with Linux at all, all for 2-3% (tops) of his audience.

Be glad that he is doing them in the future and don’t be a demanding, entitled prick.
