Prices going to be crazy.
I do think they should just release the controller already. Start with that at least.

I wonder if there will become a day when I just won't be able to use the internet no more because I refuse to install such a kernel level identification system on my system(s)... Because that is where it seems they want it to go, so everyone is DOXXED online from the start at the OS level.

Given their trying to replace MANY people with these AI systems. I dunno if a full burst will happen and whenever that happens I think a lot less people are going to have throw away money for things like this.
Ultimately their customer base is going to be vastly reduced in best case scenario at this point!
This goes for VR/XR/SteamMachine stuff etc...

I wish they'd let us have more customization on notification location. Atm you can only select corners but it be better if you could designate a boxed in location for them, or force a compact version that sticks to the APP icon triggering the notification. ATM mine sort of float over top of my browser and its a bit annoying.

Maybe we will need to wait a little longer for the DX12 performance issues.

Quoting: GreoYou need to firmware patch the adapters to get VRR and all the features working. And some adapters don't play as nice as others.Quoting: syylkThere are active DP1.4/USB-C -> HDMI 2.1 adapters that support the necessary features and transfer speeds, but I have no experience with them.I recently tried this BENFEI DisplayPort 1.4 zu HDMI 2.1 Adapter [External Link] with my LG G2 TV on Fedora43/LinuxMint/Ubuntu26.04 and had no success with VRR (FreeSync). I thought that maybe the sound would be transmitted in 5.1, but I didn't spend much time messing around with it. I sent the adapter back four days later.

Yeah you just need to wait for the XFCE Wayland rewrite. Probably another year away before usable I'm guessing.

Can't wait for the day when there will be landfills of memory/gpus and what not because all the Data centers failed to milk everyone for money for AI slop.

It's going to be janky, and certainly most youtubes won't like it. But I will enjoy it simply because I was a big Gothic fan back in the day, both gothic 1 and 2 were great. (Gothic-3 was a stretch)
Then we got Risen 1 & 2 which were quite good as well, but again Risen-3 was a bit of a flop!

Mesa 26.0 is out bringing ray tracing performance improvements for AMD RADV

I found AMD hardware to be quite competent at hybrid Ray-Tracing games like Metro Exodus/ KCD2 probably.
But as soon as you turn on FULL RT and ESPECIALLY Path Tracing, they buckle massively at the knees. Sadly more and more games are coming out that rely HEAVILY on RT, really hope the GAMES industry adopts some RT optimization down the road. (there are a tonne of videos on youtube showing creative ways of improving RT performance in games, but few games afaik deploy them)
