Not much of a way to “optimize” 8k-sized textures.  I do like the way some games do it though where out of the box they’ll support up to say a 2k resolution but can download a separate 4k texture pack if it applies to you.  Saves the people running 1080/2k some effort if it’s not needed.

You know you can get cards in excess of 8gb VRAM, right? 

I think the current system of splitting it up between recent reviews vs all reviews does a pretty good job of differentiating temporary shitty updates vs overall quality. Of course this doesn’t help when it’s a brand new game and the two are essentially the same but when you start seeing the “recent reviews” tip…

You can burn through the battery in the Steam Deck in 60-90 min if you really try and given the reports that this is lighter, is promising better performance, and runs a higher resolution/faster screen they better be pulling some serious witchcraft or else this thing will be dead in 30 min.

Your eyes have a larger dynamic range but that is largely due to the eye’s ability to adapt to different lighting environments. In a “fixed lighting environment” (ie. scotopic, mesopic, or photopic), the range is much smaller.  Cameras compensate for a lower dynamic range by being able to adjust other parameters such…

Wow, it’s almost like you don’t understand how statistics work in that those 87% of people probably aren’t educators and belong to other fields that were surveyed.

That quote is paraphrased for the article. The actual language in the bill just says any vehicle that is not connected to the charging equipment. Basically if you can plug it in, you’re good.

The article links to H77 which is not correct. Should be H255

It’s like they learned nothing from Florida where insurance companies are increasingly refusing to insure houses in hurricane prone areas and/or moving out of the state entirely.
