Remember their attempt at patenting relative motion? Absolutely absurd…

Which is, to be fair, impressive for a highly mobile device. Kudos to those engineers. All that scummy fucking extortion shit still is fucked up though, no matter how you look at it. The only reason anyone buys this is because of the brand and its beloved exclusive franchises. In a more fair environment they'd be utterly demolished if they tried to pull of this bullshit, and the practice of preventing you to play your own older games to make you buy them over and over again (or hell, even not owning your games anymore) would be outright banned.
I'm still flabbergasted we've arrived at games costing 100€ now. Not some collector's edition, just the normal game. On a console that'll set you back 500€ on its own, not to mention the service subscriptions. Even the god damn next-gen improvements for existing games supported through backwards compat now cost a 2-digit sum. What's next, subscriptions for device features (which you already paid big money for) to work like it's a freaking BMW? It's just utter insanity, and people are still paying for all that shit.
I really hope Albanese gets the protection she will need, fascist governments like to kill people wherever they are and no matter who they are. And now she got both USA and Israel after her.
The "Times of Israel" is such a disgusting propaganda paper too…
I had a doctor call in students to look at a huge ball on my neck while I was waiting in the ER for my diagnosis. They shoveled my into different devices 3 times, at one point I saw 7 people crammed into the CT diagnostic room which was obviously made for not more than 3. Turned out I was an excellent example for a (at that point merely assumed) Stage 1 Lymphoma.
Happened about 8 years ago, am healthy now (thank you fellow german taxpayers 👍). Btw, don't hesitate to ask for THC in the hospital if you suffer brutal Nausea & Emesis during chemo, it really helped me.
To frame the current USAID as primarily a destabilizing agency is so unfathomably dense, no matter how much you hate the US… how did a MAGA hat even manage to understand Lemmy's registration process?
To be fair, Nouveau did phenomenal work (reverse-engineering the driver) they shouldn't have had to do if it wasn't for Nvidias stubbornness. Especially for older cards it's the way to go, and it really isn't their fault the proprietary driver sucks so much. Since Nvidia now finally fixes their shit with the new driver (hopefully) it wouldn't make sense to put too much work into supporting any RTX card anymore.
EndeavourOS shipped with the driver, right? Distros that do so tend to have the fewest problems with it, so you dodged a bullet there. A lot of problems arise during its install process or updates due to inconsistent integration or simply Nvidias incompetence (the driver module suddenly missing or not properly loading on a new kernel, stuff like that).
The current official Nvidia driver is known to cause problems during install, during system updates or basically whenever it feels like it (when using Wayland, after hibernation, on rainy days…). Even the most well maintained distros regularly struggle with it, ran into trouble on both Mint and OpenSuse myself in the past.
If you don't have your distro already I'd suggest trying one that comes with the Nvidia driver preinstalled (they then also usually take care of all the small adjustments). Saves you some headache.
Those I can currently think off that ship the proprietary driver (in no particular order): ZorinOS, Pop!_OS, Nobara, Bazzite, EndeavourOS, TuxedoOS, SlimbookOS
Holy shit, your reply is so phenomenally unhinged and disrespectful to other people in so many aspects it's honestly impressive. Hope you get well soon.
I mean, it's good that you do stuff… but seriously guys, how the fuck do you STILL manage to put the economy in first place?
Putting aside the fact how little the median citizen earned more in wages in comparison to the prices going up:
No, of course not. However it's not just the games and the console that we're talking about. We're talking about them monetizing every single bit more and more, especially adding subscriptions and taking away ownership. In regards to Nintendo at least they still ship real cartridges with the working game on them, but any digital purchase is neither owned by you nor can be preserved without the help of hackers. They try to continuously make money while giving less and then on top of that the prices went up.
Not to mention their patent troll, anti-preservation and fangame-killing practices. Just in case anyone wants to argue for the company being "not as bad as others" or sth.
