I don't understand this comment; are they not supposed to improve?

Lojcs ,

That's not what the article says?

Lojcs ,

Humans can't see more than 24 fps anyways

Lojcs ,

I think he's wearing a skirt

Lojcs ,

So a 4k movie is 100 GB? 2 hour movie would make it 110 mbps. Insane bitrate even for h.254 imo

Lojcs ,

Maybe it's just me but for 4k60fps h.265 video above 20 mbps looks indistinguishable to me unless I pause on a frame side by side to compare. I'm not sure about h.264 but it can't be too many times worse

Lojcs ,

That's a nice tabbar theme

Lojcs ,

In my experience mtp (especially on Linux) stops working if you look at it wrong, so probably not. Perhaps kde connect's folder view works?

I'd run gdu in termux on the phone though.

Lojcs ,

Gdu doesn't follow folder symlinks and can't scan what it doesn't have permission to (like system folders and other apps) but if you cd to internalstorage it can scan that

Turkish phone comparison site epey found 174

I switched to Bluetooth before the headphone jack disappeared. Bluetooth earphones stay in my ears easier without the weight of the cable constantly tugging down, and thus are more comfortable and easier to wear while moving / in non-upright positions. They also don't have the constant cable dangling noise. And they don't need the phone to provide their power which helps with battery life.

Edit: why the downvotes? I just answered the question

Lojcs ,

Those look server side

Infinite captcha loop

Lojcs ,

Why would they pair dnssec with a mandatory blocklist

Lojcs ,

I see

Lojcs ,

Does waydroid support safetynet? That seems to be what op is talking about

Lojcs ,

It passes the basic one?

Lojcs ,

Doesn't sound very useful to me

Lojcs ,

Doesn't typescript compile to js anyways? Is it obfuscated?

    Isn't that how fdroid worked for a long time?

    Edit: although it doesn't make sense to me for play store to do the same without the source code available

    Edit 2:

    The reason is that they forced new apps AND apps for Android TV to use App Bundles
    https://developer.android.com/guide/app-bundle
    This type of release cannot be installed as it but can be used to generate the apk files. In order to do so, the Play Store has to sign on the fly.

    Not buying it. They could let the dev sign evey combination before uploading. They'll be caching them anyways

    The equivalent of a 20-30 character random password with numbers and characters is a 7-11 word passphrase. Seeing how passphrase generators default to 4-5 words (equivalent to 11-14 characters) what you did isn't so bad

    Explicit sync Wayland protocol has finally been merged! ( gitlab.freedesktop.org )

    Since nvidia drivers do not properly implement implicit sync, this protocol not existing is the root cause of flickering with nvidia graphics on Wayland. This MR being merged means that Wayland might finally be usable with nvidia graphics with the next driver release....

    Lojcs ,

    In addition to what others said a recent Nvidia driver update also added a workaround to reduce out of order frames without explicit sync. Ime it just made it so that resizing a flickering window makes it stop.

    Lojcs ,

    Is the vrr flickering about explicit sync too?

    Lojcs ,

    I mean, the vrr flicker doesn't seem like a frame ordering issue since it happens on a static desktop too. Why I asked

    Lojcs ,

    I think this is a joke?

    Lojcs ,

    The appendices of that post could use a rewrite. They read weird:

    An example we've discussed before, is at a well-known, prestigious, startup that has a very left-leaning employee base, where everyone got rich, on a discussion about the covid stimulus checks, in a slack discussion, a well meaning progressive employee said that it was pointless because people would just use their stimulus checks to buy stock.

    Lojcs ,

    This only lets you enable hdr in game. Since proton runs under xwayland the hdr info won't reach the compositor.

    Lojcs ,

    Gamescope supports hdr with --hdr-enabled --hdr-debug-force-output flags and running the game under it doesn't require xwayland in my understanding. It doesn't support nvidia though

    Lojcs ,

    If gnome supports hdr too you can. Kde's support is a part of the stack that needs to support hdr for it to work. The programs and drivers can speak hdr all they want but if the compositor (kde) doesn't understand and relay the info to the monitor it won't work.

    Lojcs ,

    Apple silicon is in no way a 'quantum leap' over anything. Even arm's general efficiency in low power situations diminish as it enters ultrabook territory

    Lojcs ,

    Where did you pull that from? Both amd and Intel has 20W class cpus that compete with base m-series cpus while being based on older nodes

    Lojcs ,

    OK it seems all '15W' cpus from those brands boost much higher so the wattages aren't as good as I thought but here are some that still compete:

    M3 - 3nm, 20W
    Amd 7840U - 4nm, 30W, 15% slower on single thread and 20% faster on multi thread.
    Intel 1365U - 10nm, 25-55W, 15% slower on multi thread

    Lojcs ,

    What's the application of a laptop with more than 64GB of ram?

    Movies too dark in HDR?

    Since KDE plasma 6 with hdr support came out recently, I decided to check how some of the hdr tagged movies I'd watched previously look with that. I was surprised to see that they are rather dark, even in scenes under direct sunlight. I 'tested' the brightness by opening the movie in hdr and sdr at the same time and manually...

    Lojcs OP ,

    Wouldn't bad calibration affect the hdr and software-mapped sdr equally? As in if there was an issue that causes 300-600 nits to show up as 200 nits or something, wouldn't that issue also be present in sdr content under hdr with brightness set to those values?

    I'll definitely try that anyways, ty

    Lojcs OP ,

    Yep hdr is supported and enabled. Kde maps the sdr one to the hdr range like any other sdr display element, based on the brightness and color intensity you set in settings. That doesn't give it more range and the crushed areas stay crushed, but that's what happens on an sdr output too

    Lojcs OP , (edited )

    In my understanding hdr is mostly supported in wayland (the core parts of it anyway) but it's not finalised so it remains largely unimplemented. Kwin itself can only output hdr to the monitor but can't get hdr video from programs due to a lack of vulkan support (?). There's a patched vulkan layer to bridge the gap.

    I don't think that's the issue but I guess it could be. I'll try an hdr brightness test video and compare it to the kwin managed sdr brightness slider to see

    Edit: Yup it works correctly

    Edit 2: I think the vulkan requirement might be just for it to work with hardware acceleration

    Lojcs OP ,

    Tried increasing gamma but it lightened the darks too much so I thought contrast looked better. If I don't end up calibrating icc or if I don't like the result I'll probably give up on any pretense of accuracy and just settle on some combination of contrast/gamma/brightness that looks good.

    Lojcs OP , (edited )

    I did and mpv works in hdr. Monitor can show 1000+ nits according to test video.

    I tried the star wars sequels (bluray), kenobi numeralj cut and dune 1 (webdl). Sw and dune's desert scenes were where I felt something was off and after opening mpv without hdr found out that they were 200-250 nits bright. I could link the torrents if that's allowed

    Lojcs OP , (edited )

    BTW how did you get the games to work? Gamescope is incredibly unstable for me. If it doesn’t freeze immediately then it either doesn't change focus to the launched game or freezes on launch. Tried without it but then xwayland eats the hdr and it comes out horrible. Is it nvidia incompatibility?

    Lojcs OP ,

    Monitor doesn't have abl. I booted windows to analyse the files and they are dimmer in general than I'd hoped for. See the edit of the post

    For games I was trying to launch steam in gamescope but launching just the game didn't work neither, so I guess that's nvidia

    Lojcs OP ,

    See the edit, this wasn't a Linux issue

    Lojcs OP , (edited )

    You didn't need to install the vulkan layer and use gamescope?

    Edit: if you use gamescope, do you have Nvidia?

    Lojcs OP ,

    I highly doubt it actually works if you didn't install the vulkan layer. Does the sdr brightness slider have an effect on the game?

    Lojcs ,

    Didn't it already have that for years? Sounds like they're 'just' adding support for signing in/ads

    Warner Bros. is now erasing games as it plans to delist Adult Swim-published titles ( www.polygon.com )

    Warner Bros. Discovery is telling developers it plans to start “retiring” games published by its Adult Swim Games label, game makers who worked with the publisher tell Polygon. At least three games are under threat of being removed from Steam and other digital stores, with the fate of other games published by Adult Swim...

    Lojcs ,

    Steam can remove games from your account. Their definition of a subscription is different than what you think it is:

    the rights to access and/or use any Content and Services accessible through Steam are referred to in this Agreement as "Subscriptions."

    The clause allowing games to be removed from a group of people:

    Valve may restrict or cancel your Account or any particular Subscription(s) at any time in the event that (a) Valve ceases providing such Subscriptions to similarly situated Subscribers generally,

    Lojcs ,

    By that logic most AAA games would be indies and most devolver games would not. Indie isn't about publishing

    Lojcs , (edited )

    are they actually independent, or do they depend on someone else for that monetary/technical/marketing support.

    People don't look at that because that's not a useful metric. All the big publishers have their own studios so most things they publish are 'independent' by that definition, but they are the very thing people try to exclude when they say indie. In the indie definitions of both music and films, it is stated that they are independent from the established distributors, not that they are entirely self-distributed. It's unreasonable to expect that from indie games.

    And conversely for 'independent' to have any meaning it mustn't include those who are in a position where others could depend on them whether through money, name recognition or some other thing. CDPR for instance, by the merit of being very well known and owning one of the most popular online stores is absolutely not an independent studio.

    Edit: furthermore even when a large distributor is involved for marketing etc, this doesn't mean the production of the art can't still be largely independent.
