Problem is that barely anyone use crypto as currency. Almost everybody treat it as a stupid get rich quick scheme.

It's generally considered a fact that Linux, along with many other open-source software projects, are more efficient than their propriety closed-source counterparts

This is not necessarily true. Linux had trouble with Nvidia Optimus, which is a GPU technology that seamlessly switches between power modes. Well, that is if it works properly, which it didn’t for Linux. I haven’t heard it in a while, so I assume it’s not a problem now anymore.

But it was a big problem where Linux laptops drained batteries much faster because they were using the GPUs at max capacity at all times.

What I’m saying is that the efficiency of Linux depends on access to hardware features, and that might depend on the vendors of the drivers.

Also, like it or not, if there’s one thing I envy about Mac is its power efficiency. They usually last really long on one charge.

Nokia. They were at the top before iPhone. They couldn’t catch up with smart phones at all.

I believe Intel will be another potential example, but we’ll see about that.

I don’t think the intent is to maintain the exact original experience forever and after. It’s to ensure it’s possible to play the game at all even if the developer shuts down their servers.

It’s becoming more and more common that games stop functioning completely when the developers no longer want to support the game anymore - even games that are perfectly playable single player.

Radiance Cascades are an innovative solution to global illumination from the devs of Path of Exile 2.

I think this video is informative and describes the new approach in a way that’s easy to follow. It’s simple with impressive results.
