Microsoft embraces more open standards with DirectX 12 adopting SPIR-V

Quoting: pbWhich one do you think it is?
1. Corporate cost-cutting
2. Preparing for a future antitrust (look, we're so open!)
3. Actually caring about open standards
All the 3 + 1:
To cut costs while making sure their position is less attackable by untitrust actions, the corporations assigns a genuinely caring employ to an open-source project, who will achieve alone the result of a full team. :tongue:

Syncthing is a great way to transfer files from PC to Steam Deck

I use it on all my devices since many years. It developed into a stable and easy to use software for many uses, ranging from syncing remote folders to versioning entire drivers. I installed it on my Workstation (Ubuntu), my home NAS as a Docker container on OMV, and on my portable Android devices. I'm glad to see it finding use on the Steam Deck too.

Wow, I had so much fun with this game when I was a kid. I still remember the solution to probably half of the missions. After release I will be waiting for the release of the remastered version of Commandos.

Quoting: tonRIf any Valve employees read this, here's my suggestion:

Please buy iRacing and make it as your own IP Valve.
or
Make your own F2P racing sim with offline capabilities

Why? I'm not totally making any speculation here. But my heart tells me probably F1 2019 may coming to EGS exclusively. Let's be honest, EGS doesn't have so-called proper racing games. So, if Valve secured iRacing (not forget, port it to Linux), the future of Steam (read : money) maybe secured and Valve can continue to be lazy some more after that. :D
I agree on the fact that Valve could benefit from the development or acquisition of a sim car game. In the specific case they should work harder on promoting the steam machine at ESports events and work closer with device manufacturer to ensure top performance of steering wheels, pedals, VR and so on... I also hope they consider the idea of reviving a specific franchise if you know what I'm talking about....
