Raspberry Pi OS gets some big updates, possible to run experimental Wayland
9 Apr 2022 at 9:49 am UTC

I recently got myself a second-hand Lenovo Tiny m72e, to start tinkering with yunohost and self-hosting. The reason is, the prices for second hand Raspberry Pi here have increased, to the point that you can get some small form factors PC for the same price range...

Of course, the ecosytem of the Raspberry Pi is missing (module camera and stuff... I'd like to try image recognition on such a device, with OpenCV, just for fun :smile: ), but then I have a full-fledged PC, which could maybe be re-used for, say, a dedicated server (Valheim ? :wub: ), or even a small retro-console... Just saying :wink:

Steam Client Beta gets Linux fixes like not re-download media pre-caching files

Steam Cloud
  • Fixed sync error for games which have converted Cloud-saved files into directories

  • Fixed Cloud sync for some games with slightly malformed cross-platform Steam Cloud sync settings


Oh my, I recently got into this, all cloud games being suddenly out-of-sync, and not being able to launch / losing saves on all thoses games...

I had to rename all steam folders into .old, then install everything again, and install them again one by one, to fix the issue... Glad it is being fixed :smile:

You really should start a career in PR! Or, did you already?!? :D
No, but I'm in R&D, does that count ? :tongue:

Intel Arc Graphics launches for laptops, desktop GPUs later this year
31 Mar 2022 at 5:55 pm UTC

From reading the specs, I have a few questions though:
  • A350M: 1150MHz vs A550M: 900MHz vs A730M: 1100 MHz . How comes ? (I know that the core counts increases, but still...)

  • Ray Tracing Units: from 6 (A350M) to 32 (A770M), yet the benchmark shows performances "just" above" 60FPS, with some game settings even being on medium. Are we supposed to expect enabling ray-tracing, provided that most games that have the option are also graphic-demanding ?


More teasers for a big Valheim update have arrived

My friends and I are waiting for the full game to be released, so that we can start a world all over and discover everything it has to offer... instead of being somewhat "spoiled" if we played every "smaller" releases.

But our first playthrough was incredible :wub:

Quoting: omer666This is madness. They can't supply GPUs people can reasonably buy, yet they spend R&D cash in this...

...when Cyberpunk 2077 runs better on Ultra on a Steam Deck than on your GPU on Medium... :cry:

Manic couch co-op game D-Corp gets a large content update

I had downloaded the demo a while ago, but with the pandemic, I didn't have the chance to test it with friends...
Guess I'll try to give it a go again :smile:

AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 2.0 announced

(Especially for games that have neither DLSS/FSR nor antialiasing built in)
I'm not sure, I don't have an RTX card, and never tried FSR. But in theory, you could run your native resolution (for example 1080p), let it upscale to 1440p or 2160p, and then configure your display to downscale that to 1080p. That should result in a high quality anti alias effect.

But I never tried that.
I have tried that in the past, on Windows, on some older games that didn't have built-in AA.
Scaling up to 4K, then downscaling to 1080p (max resolution supported by my monitor), the edges did look better, as well as some other details.
But it was a bit clunky to use (you had to enable it manually for each .exe program)

I found back the link that explained how it works (with the dot grids) : https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/dynamic-super-resolution-instantly-improves-your-games-with-4k-quality-graphics/ [External Link]
