Quoting: stud68Looks interesting.
Soli looks very much like Orco from He-man.

Just add a scarf and remove the legs. :)

Quoting: drlamb~10ms Latency

Plus the jitter buffer I assume? Still only a couple of frames of latency, which isn't awful.

Quoting: Beamboom... But does it really need a second edition? Logitech has had their F710 model for what must be a decade now (if not older? 15 years?), still on the market with no alterations whatsoever. Even the design is untouched, looks a decade old now.

And I still use mine. It's perfect!
I do have Valves too and it's not bad at all. I love the shape of it, sits perfectly in my hands. But when I really want to kick back and enjoy a "console game" session I grab my F710. Two analoge stick is really the combo one needs.

How does it work on Linux? You plug it and it just works or you have to tweak?
Could you make different profiles on Linux for each game?

It usually just works. I've never felt the need to mess with profiles so can't comment on that.

Quoting: sprocketIts a shame that so many of these games are locked behind Steam, with no DRM-free options.

I feel pity for the anti-drm people, instead of focusing on these developers giving their games for nothing so everything goes to the charity, they just focus on their personal taste about how games are distributed and managed.

You arent some sort of "freedom fighters" as you see yourself, but just a vocal minority of people looking just for their own good...

The world is facing something really big right now, your priorities is to have a copy of a game in your hard disk.

Not like we can donate to charities directly, right?

Quoting: The_Aquabatmaybe everything could be anti-EU propaganda .. when big news media predict that the end of the EU is near. something is clearly not working quite right... so I also heard that things have started to pick up some pace.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/03/31/italy-demands-solidarity-germany-coronavirus-crisis-rifts-deepen/ [External Link]

The Telegraph--a politically very conservative British news outlet--is hardly an unbiased source on the subject of the EU right now. Just providing a bit of context for this "big news media" prediction. :)

The actual article is so light on facts I'd hesitate to call it journalism. It basically just reports what an unnamed bunch of Italian politicians said in an ad they bought in a German newspaper.

Quoting: Creak

Quoting: slaapliedjeHa, I have been far too lazy on all my builds to bother overclocking things, my systems in general run fast enough to where I doubt I would notice. Back when I used to do it, for some reasons it always felt slower.
It is like buying third party parts for an old 302 Boss, you end up with it performing worse than the stock parts!

Same here, but buying a 3600 MHz DDR4 RAM and only having 2133 MHz... It's almost half! I couldn't let that pass :D

I found the whole process of setting my RAM to run at the advertised frequency and latencies on my Asus Prime X470-Pro more than a bit unintuitive. Why does every brand have their own "cool" names for this stuff? "AI Tweaker" and "AI Overclock Tuner" my ass.

Like you, I found the correct setting only after wasting some time fiddling with manual configuration. One reason for this is that I didn't know D.O.C.P is the AMD equivalent for Intel's XMP, this being my first AMD setup in years. Another was me thinking that as I was just trying to configure my hardware to match the spec on the label, whyever would I want to enable these fancy sounding overclocking features?

Rant over. Sorry.

Quoting: appetrosyanIs the 5700xt as bad as people make it out to be.

Nvidia fans bash AMD and vice versa. Business as usual.

I'm not really interested in VR myself, but I'm pretty damn happy with my 5700XT for regular gaming. If that's what you're asking.

But if you mean in the context of VR on Linux and Half Life: Alyx specifically, judging by the comments on this SteamVR article from a couple of days ago, AMD might actually be the safer bet right now.

Quoting: GuestAnd there would be no gol.com!

I know you're joking, but GOL did exist before Valve first launched Steam on Linux. And people were happily using Linux way before that. Valve has been great for us Linux gamers, but let's not get carried away. :)

Quoting: BoldosHmmmm...
My Folding client seems to support calculataion of Cancer, Alzhheimer's, Huntington's, Parkinson's, but no COVID-19...?

FYI: I'm using web control UI; not using fahcontrol => I failed installing it on Ubuntu 18.04, 19.04, 19.10 and 20.04beta, and after trying all possible solutions (none of them worked) I just gave up trying for now....

This was answered above:

Quoting: Salvatos"Any" includes COVID-19 work units, and those are currently handed out with the highest priority, so if you want to focus on that, "Any" is the way to go for now. I believe they want to add a specific category in the next client release, but that could be a whiel

Quoting: Purple Library GuyIt's a pity because QWERTY really isn't a very good layout, although I'm not sure I believe the story that it was deliberately designed to slow typists down to avoid keys sticking.

I can believe it was designed to avoid keys sticking, but the slowing typists down part was probably just an unwanted side effect of rearranging the keys to space out common key sequences (in the english language).
