Quoting: SchattenspiegelI may be completely wrong here, but would this part:

This means that a GPU vendor only has to implement a D3D12 driver for their hardware in order to support all three APIs.

not be a really bad thing?

Nope, it helps prevent the Apple situation with OpenGL seeing total crap support for a very long time and eventually they will remove it as it's deprecated in favour of Metal which screwed over a lot of developers.

Quoting: mphuZIs this their "open-source" project that they wanted to announce in March?

No. This has been around for quite some time. What you're thinking of was a talk they were going to do at GTC but it seems the talk has been cancelled.

Darklands was removed due to publisher change, which is why it's back now with more.

Quoting: GuestI would actually be tempted by Doom Eternal, especially with the current need around the world to find quick at-home entertainment.

I mean, I would be, if I still didn't have to pay a massive price just to access Stadia, and then pay another massive price for any given game. One massive price I can do in an emergency, but not two.

Yeah, they realllly need to get Stadia Base out.

Quoting: elmapulstadia is open source? what? where is the source code??

I said Stadia+, we were talking about the plugin.

Technically, most of Stadia is open source . . . I believe it's called "Debian".

Well yeah, true. Stadia is Linux, a bunch of other open source tech too but as a whole still not fully open of course since they have some of their own bits. The main point is how cross-platform it is though.

Quoting: 14The 245680 team must be freshly out of the oven because I don't see any stats populated at extremeoverclocking [External Link] yet.

Really, they need to clean up the Team system. I can see no reason for it not to show up. It's listed on my PC for my own folding quite clearly and using the ID I can go back and edit the Team details but it doesn't currently show in public lists.

Quoting: SirLootALotI on the other hand find it odd when people see something being different/new/something or someone else as a virtue unto itself. I wish System 76 all the best and appreciate their contributions to open source projects, but if I want to support developers, I donate, and if I want a Laptop or a keyboard, I will buy what best suits my needs. And right now there are arguably better options for all their products.

Just to offer an alternative view: how do you know something is a better option if nobody tries to do something else? Looking at the space bar, and some comments here, I could definitely go for space on the right, capslock on the left (programmable at the keyboard firmware level of course).

Maybe overall it's not for your taste, and that's fine. It might be for someone else's though, or it might inspire ideas in others that build something that is for your taste. So I wouldn't see anything they're doing as a waste.

Yes, mirv's comment is pretty much what I was trying to get across.
