UE5 is just a tool. Developers are the ones who are responsible of the game performance, more than Epic.

There are some problems that plague UE5 games like transition stuttering (moving from one zone to another) among other things, but overall I couldn’t blame the engine when the ones who use it are not me, but the developers themselves.

Same flak for Rocksteady and Batman Arkham Knight. They used Unreal Engine 3 instead of 4, and ran like crap anyway.

Studios and publishers will happily pay UE fees if that means pushing the game on schedule than wasting 2 years creating an engine from scratch that can’t resell or reuse (there are exceptions , tho)

They’re not known for big projects. Except Callisto Protocol which flopped so hard they will put their hands on whatever has more than 7 figures.

I while I’m kind of happy for the people who can still have a jobs, I fully expect they become a shell from their former selves (cut jobs) and make freemium crap.

It would be great to have a credibility score for websites or political bias in this community.

The Meta-owned messaging app is extremely popular in Europe owing to its cross-platform compatibility.

There you have it. If iMessages was cross platform, people would use it, but it doesn't, so people will pivot for the second best thing.

Also, Northamerica SMS roots are deep, deeper than Europe, Asia and Latinamerica. Disgusting or not, the people already made its choice: $1 a year was too much.

TL;DR: A mediocre/fair game is not bad.

Gonna say what everyone haven’t: the display is great to read but that’s it. The hardware is mediocre at best, and SolOS is unimpressive. At $730 it’s DOA since the iPad Air M2 exists and you can watch streaming on that.

This article gives some insight on what Zen 5 is all about on desktop and PC. Personally I’m intrigued about how RYZEN AI 300 will perform, and how the availability will be, especially on the Mini PC side.

It breaks football when the foul is against you.

And where is the evidence? Asking for a friend.

This is a great video to introduce someone to the whole “What is Linux” thing without going into deep detail, plus showing some tools you’ll use every day.

Yes and no. They had to put the version identifier somewhere to avoid sorting problems or parsing problems, so I think that putting somewhat in the middle is a good tradeoff.

 

I'm hitting a roadblock here.

I've tried to install MacOS Ventura 13.4.1 (currently latest) into a Kaby Lake laptop, but not into the hard disk but rather the same USB drive (not an SSD, just your average USB 3.0 stick).

The installer runs fine, and I can even use Disk Utility to re-partition the drive into a GUID and create an APFS volume to install Ventura. The installer does the install, it takes a while given the USB speeds, and the system restarts a couple of times - OpenCore runs fine and shows the volume so it can continue the installation - but after the third restart, just before showing the first stup screen, the system throws a kernel panic.

The watchdog states that opendirectoryd didn't respond after a few seconds.

Some users also report the same problem when trying to run Ventura from an USB stick, which is resolved by just installing it to the internal SSD or using an SSD/NVMe enclosure connected to USB.
