  • People gave you the exact solution to your "problem", which isn't actually a problem but rather the expected behavior of FSR 1.0 being implemented as a shader.

    You then downvoted and complained about the user. There's no extra advice to give: you rejected or is incapable of using the feature as designed, what else can anybody do for you?

  • Because you apparently are not capable of setting a game to a window with resolution inferior to the native screen.

  • Confiscated for having GrapheneOS? What?

  • There's no "turning on" FSR. It's a simple per pixel scalar.

    If your game is not running at the native resolution and you're stretching it, Steam Deck is upscaling it. How it upscales is entirely defined by that setting. Sharp means FSR.

    That's it. There's no way for this to fail, otherwise you'd be seeing a tiny window for the game.

  • Not sure why your comment got downvoted, you're correct.

    Valve removed NIS and renamed all other options. FSR 1.0, the horrendous looking matrix-based scaler, is now simply called "Sharp" and indeed you need to set the game at a lower than native resolution, with no upscaling, for it to make any difference.

  • You know, I think there might be stupid questions after all

  • Oh cool, I guess they forgot to inform the entire physiology department of the university I got my biology degree in, and the periodics where they publish their research.

  • Especially because thing you might not think of as protein sources can add the missing other amino acids. Things like wheat, rice, etc. also have protein that can complement others.

    So I say "consider how some people actually do have a single source of protein per day, they're not combining it with other food sources, but they should be aware of this" and your reply is "oh but you see they're combining it with other food sources so that's not important" flawless logic.

    Especially the false idea that it has to be done at each meal

    I never said that. You mentioned it, I said I agreed, and you mentioned it again to reinforce a point I never made. Trying to pad out the comment or something?

    Many researchers argue the exact opposite

    Sure. And there are several who disagree, or more precisely, might agree that in a vacuum your point stands, but given the atrocious bioavaliability of most plant-based protein, you actually do need to combine protein to effectively fix the issue because your body will absolutely not fully digest the 2g of protein in your 100g plate of white rice.

  • You don't need all amino acids on the same meal, that's true.

    If you're a vegan, managing protein intake is important. Making sure you get complete proteins is overlooked.

    Your comment is a dangerous simplification and excludes the fact that indeed many people rely on specific, cheap, vegetable sources of protein as their only protein.

    As for rice, while it will indeed complete most bean types, the amount of protein per 100g is very low.

  • People are joking around, but mixing different beans is important.

    Beans are a good source of protein, but they're incomplete - no single bean will provide all essential amino acids.

    So mix them up and you end up with complete protein.

  • This is the remake. There's no "remake remake". Originally available on PlayStation, then PC, now Switch and Xbox.

  • I found an old ipod 6th gen at a thrift store. Threw linux on it, and its such an easy device to work with.

    They are amazing indeed, I just avoid them because everything from finding an used one to parts is 10x the price in my country, so I'd end up settling for a beat up unit with a bad battery and no real funds to upgrade it. But where this is not the case, they feel great in the hand and just work.

    What kind of mp3 player did you get?

    The first one I bought was an Innioasis Y1 - an iPod Classic clone. Super thin, USB-C, a simple OS that can be changed for Rockbox if you so desire, and a functional click wheel. Sounded good, synced just fine with the computer, and was nice and compact. But the screen is very very fragile, changing the SD card requires opening the unit and it never closes the same again, and behind the scenes it's just a simple Mediatek Android phone without a modem. Tip for anybody buying this one: there's a very hard to remove screen protector that makes the screen look very grainy... do NOT remove it even if you're tempted to, the plastic behind the protector is the softest plastic I've ever seen and it will scratch if you look at it wrong.

    I then tried the Snowsky Echo Mini, which has no click wheel so navigation is harder, but uses an even simpler and directly to the point OS, easy to swap microSD, super nice retro design, a leather case, and two very high quality DACs with both regular and balanced output. Sounds really good, on both headphones and speakers, so I kept this one and it's my current daily driver.

  • Not an iPod (because you need to mod in a new battery, new connector, patch the firmware, play the lottery with local market places, etc)

    But I'm back to a dedicated MP3 player with a headphone jack, SD card slot, FLAC files, and it beats streaming every single time.

    I tested two modern (and cheap) models, picked my favorite, and found my favorite combo to acquire and sync music. After these initial days of getting everything setup... The experience is frictionless. Music sounds great, battery lasts forever.

  • The Steam Deck is not sold at a loss. The initial pricing for the 64 GB unit was barely profitable, but this quickly changed with production ramping up.

    This was confirmed by Valve themselves in an interview that happened months after Gabe's famous comments about the pricing.

    So yes, Valve profits from the games too, but that's not used to subsidize the Steam Deck's price.

  • Do we want it to grow to the size of traditional social media?

    I want people here, not US politicians, the Pringles social media account and three bots.

  • What absolute scares me is how even if you download Windows Enterprise IoT, which already comes extremely clean out of the box, and then run your favorite debloating script (removing even more crap)... the system still shows a noticeable delay when opening the right click menu, or the start menu, or a new Explorer window. So the most basic possible tasks, that you do constantly, for some reason are slow on a modern multi-core processor and a clean build of the OS.

    How the hell did they manage to downgrade... the start menu? the right click menu? How?

  • whether farts are denser than air

    They are.

  • Doesn't apply, nor matter.

    Malice or not, their systems didn't delete my photo, that's the point.

  • Conservation of mass would prevent any outcome other than the scale showing you getting lighter.

    No household scale would be precise enough for this experiment though.

  • A photo I deleted 10 years ago resurfaced on my Google Drive account recently.

    I'm sure it was deleted, and it had never appeared before until now.

    But sure, they're being honest!
