I mean, it is supposedly already a thing on Android. And there are rumors that Valve have been trying it out for Deckard. So this could very much come this year or so.
Probably not. Steam for macOS still has no SteamPlay support, so your best bet is installing the regular Steam through a separate Heroic prefix. Works great, but it does still require Rosetta.
That said, Box64 and FEX are both making a lot of progress, so it’d be awesome to see these in action officially soon
Not very likely. Translating cpu architectures is completely different from from what wine/proton does. A compatibility layer for arm would be even more difficult and expensive, and have a performance penalty. They might plan that for further into future though, if arm pcs take off. A Mac implementation would probably need a lot of apple-specific work, and there aren’t many mac gamers out there.
There already are some projects that make it work. I haven’t looked at the specifics yet but as far as I understand it everything that can be handled as a library call as native ARM code does just that and only pure x86 calls are emulated. And since nowadays so much stuff is abstracted away and the heavy lifting is done by Vulkan the performance tends to be very good.
Asahi linux already ships a VM to run steam on macbooks. And the VM is not even doing the heavy lifting. They do cpu instruction translation on the go, the VM is there just to solve some memory allocation quirks.
Tangent, how would this telescope do turned around and pointed at our deepest oceans? There’s infinitely more alien life to actually find and study, and it’s still unstudied for good reasons I suppose I’m fishing for.
Easier, yes. But that’s not something you can just download and run is it ? It requires tinkering. Only an advanced user will go through that. Mainstream users will keep being unable play that way.
This also means that, in theory, any Xbox 360 game should now be fully Recompilable for native PC port goodness, including those unsupported by modern Xbox Backward Compatibility, effectively freeing several games from the graveyard — and opening the doors of modding wider than ever.
Sure, it might hit some legal obstacles for a time. But right now on Steam, there are companies releasing emulated versions of their classic games. I hope in a few years, this work turns into legal versions on Steam.
It’s a failed state where the tinpot dictator who runs it is also a gangster who runs rackets out of all national industries. That’s the only kind of state that Communism has ever produced, so you might as well call it that.
Putin and the oligarchs were handed all the power they have now by people who overthrew the communist government of the RSFSR, not by the communists at all.
It’s present failure stems from the extreme poverty caused primarily by mass sell-off of government institutions and rapid privatisation, otherwise known as shock therapy, a common element in the rise of fascism.
“The 90s” were an absolute hell for a lot of people there. I know, because I was there.
Don’t get me wrong, the USSR was shit in many ways and did incredibly awful things in eastern europe, but to ignore the fact that present Russia is a fascist oligarchy and instead call it communism is not only ignorant of history, but it aids Putin sympathisers and fascists in the west, i.e. Musk, AfD, etc.
I mean, yeah? If you generalized enough lots of things can be said to not be materially different, and that’s not invalid, but this state has fundamentally different causes and elements and therefore can’t be lumped together, lest we make the mistake of ignoring the lessons of history.
I’m not sure if you’re into spaceflight but SpaceX caught a booster with a pair of chopsticks. It went exactly how you would expect it to go and was interesting as hell. There’s probably a lot of things that go the way they’re supposed to but I don’t think that is what takes away from it being interesting. Also different strokes for different folks.
Well, really depends on your definition of interesting. Or what exactly you think is interesting about the news. The information itself might be interesting, but the console is anything but interesting.
On the performance side of things, Elbrus has nothing to write home about based on benchmarks that have largely found it “completely unacceptable” for most tasks.
(in a linked article) The testers cited “Insufficient memory, slow memory, few cores, low frequency. Functional requirements not been met at all” as key reasons for the failure.
Elbrus-8C: 8C/8T, 1.30 GHz, 16MB L3, 70W TDP, quad-channel DDR3-1600 memory, 28nm, 250 FP64 GFLOPS
It can probably run Doom, but likely won’t run Crysis.
The other console, “MTS Fog Play”, is just cloud gaming
Knowing our “sovereign” projects, no. No, it cannot.
Don’t get me wrong, there is some really cool tech stuff we create, but whenever it gets political, it’s just theft of budget money. Nothing actually gets created.
Putin releases the RuskieStation. It’s fine. Not awesome or anything. Shortly after, Yum! Co. finally releases the KFConsole. Plays every game, even ones from the future, at 8k in real time FPS while also cooking an entire KFC meal for you. For only $299. Russia’s economy collapses. Putin is banished to the shadow realm. Somehow this also leads to peace in the middle east.
