TechNerdWizard42, do games w 11 years after launch, 49M people still use their PS4s, matching the PS5

PS2 and PS3 get use. PS4 had nothing that interested me. PS5, same. Maybe when something good comes out ill get a PS17

LustyArgonianMana, do astronomy w NASA officially greenlights $3.35 billion mission to Saturn’s moon Titan

We want Healthcare.

EldritchFeminity,

Fund both. With 1% of the US military budget, NASA could afford to consider manned missions to Mars.

Sure, I am not opposed to science. Just can’t help pointing out the lack of Healthcare for all whenever I see these budgets for other programs. Kinda absurd for granny to be rationing her insulin when we have this kind of money available

Diplomjodler, do esa w It’s official: Europe turns to the Falcon 9 to launch its navigation satellites

Still a bargain compared to Ariane. Europe really needs to get its act together.

I still follow Tales from the Stinky Dragon podcast which is produced by Rooster Teeth. It is a shame that they probably stop the production of it.

yeah, if Rooster Teeth is providing the resources for it it’s gonna be nixed.

Descent was my jam! Talk about memories from this article.

Surp, do gaming w Microsoft keeps pushing toward repairability, now with Xbox controller parts

Damn the parts are super expensive too. Almost not even worth it. If you’re gonna do repair parts Microsoft at least do it right…

stevedidwhat_infosec,

Fuck that dude how else are they gonna buy their tickets to go live on the new planet when this one shits out 😜

3rd party markets are always around though

Fogle, do gaming w Microsoft keeps pushing toward repairability, now with Xbox controller parts

That’s what I’m fucking talking about. Trying to fix my elite 1 was a nightmare. The prices seem really high but fuck at least they’re selling the damn things now

thirstyhyena, do gaming w Microsoft keeps pushing toward repairability, now with Xbox controller parts

Will they also move towards cheaper quality products now that they are more self repairable?

awesomesauce309,

With how quickly my elite series 2 fell apart, I’m not sure they can get any cheaper.

_cerpin_taxt_,

Okay so I’m not alone lol. On number 3!

    Yeah the rubber fell off of one side immediately. And opening it up to try and fix it was a hassle. From the article activist shareholders forced them to work towards right to repair, but if they don’t switch to Hall effect sensors it’s really just forced to repair. Potentiometer controllers have a forced shelf life, and controller manufacturers are fine with that. Now they’re just making money selling the parts too.

    lustyargonian, do games w Games run faster on SteamOS than Windows 11, Ars testing finds

    Take aways:

    • Sample set is of 5 games
    • Lenovo drivers are much slower than Asus
    • There are 2 games where windows is neck to neck or better, 3 where SteamOS is far ahead

    Some doubts:

    • Did the author run the benchmarks few times to rule out shader compilation. 99%ile would be helpful.
    • I wonder if it makes sense to test DirectX10, 11 and 12 games separately to better understand where Proton has an edge.
    • I wonder what all settings can be tweaked in Windows to find potential fixes (core isolation, cpu boost, power profiles).

    Point is Microsoft and OEMs need to do better, however not every game or subscription services work on Linux, so in the interim time users should know what they can do to close the gap better.

    Wow, some of these are showing huge gains with Steam OS

    Oh yeah, you need to specifically turn it on. Before you do that it won’t do anything. And you have to agree to the terms after you read them

    Hawk,

    You can even disable the Gamechat button
