What kind of nonstick coating? Surely not Teflon?

Well there’s a focus on American events, American billionaires, and the distinctly American flavour of extreme policing

A lot of people are against it because they see it as the first step towards evil, but I still think we should have some sort of recommendation algorithm. New content discovery on Lemmy is way too manual for normies like me.

The sign-up process should be streamlined. It’s really intimidating to have to choose an instance when you don’t even understand what the heck that is. And then there’s the manual account validation. I’m not sure what the solution is but we might want to find one.

And we need to do something about the extremists. They have a right to exist, but the abnormally high prevalence of American-coded communist/anarcho-communist content that just casually talks about executing the rich and the like is weird and intimidating even to me, a decidedly left-wing person. Americans, who are famously doubtful of communism, probably run away from the platform seeing that. And as for non-Americans… Well the proportion of content that’s specifically about American politics is even higher than on Reddit, which is saying something.

Huh. Thanks for the tip. I’ll give it a try the next time I play.

There’s no option named variable refresh rate. But there is one called Adaptive sync. It’s set to Always.

If VRR can’t work in borderless windowed mode, I guess I’ll have to give up on it for this game. Because I get distracting frame drops without Frame Gen. A bit unfortunate I’d have performance compromises with my brand new graphics card, but I heard this is normal for UE5 games.

Huh. I was convinced there was a bigger difference.

Doesn’t that kinda make Canada look smaller than the US?

Wait, so that means FreeSync would NOT have worked, since it doesn’t now?

Good to know. Though to be honest, probably because it’s 1. a turn-based game, 2. one I’m playing on a wireless controller, I’m not noticing it.

So I guess even V-Sync is fine for this game. But it’s this were a more latency-sensitive game, it might’ve been annoying.

What should I have done then?

Would exclusive full screen have been fine?

More focus on open-world titles and games as a service? Every time I think they’ve hit the bottom, they manage to dig deeper.

Generally I wait until it dies. My current one is testing my patience at 3 years old while I’ve disliked it since the start, but the cost of a new one is sobering enough to let me suck it up.

My first phone died under a bus after 4 years, my second one stopped getting security updates after 2 or 3 years and was starting to get seriously slow, so that one I sold, my third one took 5 years to die to repeated water exposure… And this is my fifth one.

Honestly they should lend their branding to an energy drink brand. Wouldn’t it sell well?

Technically you can call a chain of three if/else conditions an AI but come on, you KNOW that’s not what we mean.

If mirroring doesn’t work, that sounds promising. Then I could just hit the shortcut from my phone with Unified Remote or something

That’s with mirroring ? Sounds great then!

To clarify, my HDMI cable can handle 48 Gbps just fine. When my displays are set to extend, I can set my TV to 4K, 120 Hz, HDR, without a problem.

The issue is how Windows handles mirroring.

I don’t know why it bothers me so much that the insides of their mouths are the same color as their skin or beard

Maybe look at old office PCs for sale. Some of them aren’t THAT old and you could get a good CPU upgrade from one of them. Slot your graphics card in and that could be a significant improvement.

I see RAM at somewhat high but reasonable-ish prices on Facebook Marketplace all the time. Might not be the case elsewhere, but keeping an eye on the used market is a possibility.

Kinda nice but I would have never guessed
