Is someone called "StoneColdSpider" supposed to be saying that?

Quoting: StoneColdSpiderTrailer looks really nice....

Yeah, although when I think about it, it's just a trailer of an FPS, with a mocking voiceover.

Quoting: ShmerlI think those sizes aren't referring to literal transistors anymore, so it can be misleading.

Ah, I see.

Quoting: WikipediaThe nanometers used to name process nodes has become more of a marketing term that has no relation with actual feature sizes nor transistor density

So in answer to my original question, no, it's not a real thing.

3 nm?! Is that even a real thing? I thought when you got that small, electrons started bleeding all over the place, and other such basic physical constraints.
Also, what are they using to etch that, gamma rays?

What if Shredder decided to skip the whole revenge thing and just chill living up to his name at the skateboard park?

Quoting: TheRiddick1-No back paddle buttons, (who uses these and for what? driving games?)

I'm using them in Elite: Dangerous. Two are bound to strafe left/right, the other two are bound to "Full Spectrum System Scanner" and "next target on route".

While I haven't installed that game yet on the deck, I've also seen that a community layout for Old World uses the back buttons for some overlay toggles.

I mean Elite Dangerous has so many buttons that I'm stuck in Windows to play it until either Thrustmaster ports it, or someone creates their own version of the TARGET software to script all the things for the Warthog...

Still baffles me how people play it with a game pad :P I bought it for the PS4, and it does seem playable enough, but I just miss the flight stick!

Guess who just decided never to try Elite: Dangerous no matter how much everyone raves about it?

Just now? Ha... I mean I guess it depends on what you're looking for... Personally, I play it in VR with a flight stick; and play it to relax. Something about being in a spaceship and drowning out reality and being able to hop across the galaxy is more appealing to me than say grinding through missions to get enough money to get the biggest ships. I even tend to try to run from pirates and such, and don't hang out and mine, as that raises my anxiety rather than letting me relax.

Don't get me wrong, I get the impression it's a great game. I just can't see myself mastering the use of that many buttons.

Feels kind of strange to hear that the NVidia driver has a Vulkan feature before the open source AMD driver. Maybe this is more common than I realize, but I'd gotten the impression that other than for their own in-house stuff the NVidia Linux drivers tended to lag.

Quoting: itscalledrealityAmazing how a hardware release that the majority of people who ordered one (to date) still don’t own, causes developers to change their tune of “it can’t be done” to “now available on Linux with continued support”.

Because the truth is that pre-Steam Deck the real response was “it won’t be done, because market share”. But what changed about Linux marketshare? Surely Steam Deck is still a drop in the bucket.

True enough. I guess there are three key things the Steam Deck has that the Linux desktop does not:
1. The perception of rapid growth; they think with some reason that there will be significant market share.
2. A hardware manufacturer which is large and has a big sales channel
3. Propaganda Buzz
