We’re still taking about Korean ISP charging streaming company for bandwidth, right? If the streaming service setup some TURN servers to help people behind cgnat, then they’ll going to get charged by the ISP because the traffic originate from TURN servers operated by the streaming service instead of peer-to-peer traffics among users. These ISPs rejected Netflix offers to put their caching servers inside their network afterall, so the TURN servers will have to be located outside their network and thus subject to the bandwidth charge.
I’m behind cgnat myself and I can download but can’t seed. If everyone is behibd cgnat the swarm would be dead fast. In Korea, there are only 3 ISPs and if they collude to use cgnat with client isolation, they can kill these P2P scheme used by streaming site and boost their profit sharing revenue.
Which would be passed to their customers in the form of more expensive VPN price. Either way, the ISPs are the winner here, and I think someone mentioned that it’s practically impossible to create a new ISP due to regulatory capture so there will be no competition to challenge the oligopoly.
it’s not a “nothing special” device, it literally has a psp encoded into the soc package…
It’s nothing special anymore today because current arm processors are fast enough to fully emulate PSP, unlike the time when vita was still in development.
this is just flat out incorrect, a huge amount of games just don’t work on the vita tv because of the lack of touch interactions
Only a few dozen out of hundreds of vita titles, and mostly due to the lack of touchscreen, not the lack of the rear touchpad. Most vita titles that use the rear touchpad only use it as a workaround for the lack of R2/L2 buttons (and many of them already patched to recognize R2/L2 on vita tv), which the portal has. If the portal has vita support, it’ll support more titles than vita tv simply because it has a touchscreen.
Hardware-wise, vita is nothing special. It’s just an arm cortex device, which means Sony will have much easier time making the runtime works on newer arm processor. They don’t even need to port the whole os, just the runtime would be enough. If a bunch of volunteer can make vita runtime from scratch on their own free time (and managed to get various Android games running on vita runtime too), there is no reason Sony which have access to the source code can’t do it with less time.
No need for extra touchpad in the rear either. Vita TV didn’t have it and work fine without it too.
If you have an AMD GPU, the upcoming KDE Plasma 6 will have experimental HDR support. Or you can use gamescope (a compositor made by valve for steam deck) as your login session which will launch steam in big picture mode (afaik you can’t run other apps except steam in this desktop session).
Steam deck has HDR support now, which means HDR support for AMD gpus on linux will improve at accelerated rate going forward. Nvidia users (me included) can can only look with envy I guess.
What happened 10 weeks ago? Did they run some projections and realized their Fortnite revenue aren’t going to cover the operating expense for the whole company anymore?
If Denuvo’s claim that their DRM has no negative performance impact were true, then why Ubisoft pull this shenanigan (adding Denuvo DRM just hours before release)? Ubisoft must’ve know their game run better without Denuvo so they want the reviewers to play the drmless version.
Plenty of website did this… more than a decade ago, and even then plenty of security conscious people writing blogs and posting on social media begging devs to stop doing this.
