Doh, I’m an idiot

Now if only anyone in the US government actually cared about companies union busting.

It is, however, higher than 0.

Violent radical left is at it again, I see /s

This sounds like more of a “well I can’t control it anyway, and they already know everything, so fine” kind of cop-out as opposed to an actual argument in favor of digital ID.

What benefit would it provide?

This will, unfortunately, inflate rents even further – as much as I love the idea.

One of the only real ways to bring down rents and thereby leave more money in workers’ pockets in a meaningful way is to tax vacancies. Without doing something like that, these extra wages go right to the landlords.

Same! I’m planning to get one as close to launch as I can. I’ve been waiting on VR and this 100% seems like what I’ve been looking for. Super excited.

Once again, the party of free speech at work.

And given the history of BIOS as a concept, I guess that isn’t too surprising.

I wonder how much of that kind of thing stems from the fact that many of the really hardcore PC tinkerers aren’t using ARM (yet).

Got it, yeah I misunderstood your comment as meaning there was no translation layer at all.

For me it’s just something to keep an eye on. I think ARM holds a lot of promise as x86 has started to feel a bit stagnant. Things like FEX could minimally be a good way to ensure backwards compatibility if devs start embracing ARM in any major way, but I suspect it is years out, if it happens at all.

But if I get a Frame, it would 100% be for the streaming.

Double standards right out in the open. But rich people can’t have consequences, so I guess we move on.

The answer is that they arent…

But they are: https://www.tomshardware.com/peripherals/gaming-headsets/hands-on-with-valves-new-steam-frame-headset-arm-powered-mixed-mode-device-uses-new-fex-translation-layer-for-traditional-x86-games

You have the choice of streaming to Frame or running games directly on the device. If the latter, they’re utilizing FEX as the ARM translation layer.

Of course performance will be best with streaming, but I’m still surprised you can run anything at all locally.

Linux gaming is here. I haven’t run Windows in 3+ years at this point. The world has changed.

I’m more intrigued by how they’re now also running x86 code on ARM at a playable level (e.g. locally on Frame).

Ok, thanks for the additional context. Back down to 575.

Adding this to my “why you don’t go to Australia” list. Item 576.

Basic capitalism, Donnie: you pay, people work. You don’t pay, people don’t work.

If it requires yet another stupid launcher, I’m out.

This is the first in a long time that actually made me wince.

Good work.

This is true of the Christian God – but also trivially true of any other conceptual deity which may exist. There have been thousands of God-figures discussed by mankind in its history, and if a god exists, none of those discussed may be the real God. (This strikes me as a kind of inverted version of the famous “Pascal’s Wager”)
