Pretty much… as long as you didn’t do any custom kernel stuff or driver blacklisting or any other underhood voodoo with the boot system.
Gotta budget for Factorio
Literally watch the video
In every case, Denuvo balloons the exe file size by 4-5x (we’re talking 400-500 MB for a <100 MB game exe), can increase loading times between 10-400%, and in most cases, lowers framerates between 10-40%, and can introduce microstutters. There are a few outliers where Denuvo’s removal coincides with worse framerates for some reason. But essentially, removing Denuvo speeds things up a lot, especially download size and loading times.
That only matters if there’s anything to optimize by source compilation. If the program doesn’t have optimization features in the source, it’s wated time and energy.
Simple. The cube gets one shotted. The Borg Collective, which is linked across subspace, will notice a Cube suddenly going dark. They will send two spheres. The first gets one shotted, as the Death Star is simply too powerful to block its main weapon with adaptium shields. The second sphere beams over drones. The Death Star is assimilated. Resistance is futile. The Borg now have assimilated the technology of a planet killer weapon. Not that it matters. The Borg have the technology to wipe out entire star systems in one go. They choose not to, as that would go against the Identify, Adapt, Assimilate mindset. You can’t ascend other species into the Collective if you vaporise them all.
LCARS interface… that is something I haven’t seen in a loooooooong time
Ah, yes, Linux around the turn of the century. Let’s see…
GPU acceleration? In your dreams. Only some cards had drivers, and there were more than 2 GPU manufacturers back then, too… We had ATi, nVidia, 3dfx, Cirrus, Matrox, Via, Intel… and almost everyone held their driver source cards close to their chest.
Modems? Not if they were “winmodems”, which had no hardware controller, the CPU and the Windows driver (which was always super proprietary) did all the hard work.
Sound? AC’97 software audio was out of the question. See above. You had to find a sound blaster card if you wanted to get audio to work right.
So, you know how modern linux has software packages? Well, back then, we had Slackware, and it compiled everything gentoo style back then. In addition, everyone had a hardon for " compiling from source is better"… so your single core Pentium II had to take its time compiling on a UDMA66-connected hard drive, constrained with 32 or 64 MB RAM. Updating was an overnight procedure.
RedHat and Debian were godsends for people who didn’t want to waste their time compiling… which unfortinately was more common even so, because a lot of software was source only.
Oh, and then MP3 support was ripped out of RedHat in Version 9 iirc, the last version before they split it into RHEL and Fedora. RIP music.
As for Linux on a Mac, there was Yellowdog, which supported the PPC iMacs and such. It was decently good, but I had to write my own x11 monitor settings file (which I still have on a server somewhere, shockingly, I should throw it on github or somewhere) to get the screen to line up and work right.
Basically, be glad Linux has gone from the “spend a considerable amount of time and have programming / underhood linux knowledge to get it working” to “insert stick, install os, start using it” we have now.

On Lemmy, 10 ups is a success. Compared to the other platform, where it’s not a success unless you have 4 figure upvote numbers…
Oh no, guess my spam email account that already gets a millionty spam messages an hour will get two millionty spam messages, probably.
There is also a one man wonder effort to improve the sound work of simulated engines by “simply” simulating the flow of air https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J11c8mMN1PA
nope, though I use Thunder (Android)
The Veloster was a Hyundai, a Korean manufacturer, and the car was made and imported from Korea, according to the VIN and all the little “Made in Korea” stampings on every part. I got it because it was an economy car with a Dual Clutch transmission.
At least it’s not a .art file
If you get this reference, remember to take your daily meds on time.
Exactly! Like, take a basic car, and make it an EV. It doesn’t need to be a spaceship. I just need speed, charge level, maybe a tach or electrical load indicator, and a range estimator, all of which already exist on a basic car’s dash. The head unit can remain a separate device that connects to my phone for navigation and phone. That’s it.
I put the most miles on a Veloster compared to any of my other cars so far - the difference in build quality is still quite noticeable. The car was well designed, but it wore out / disintegrated a lot faster.
My big metric for cars that last is the “stay fixed” metric. On the Japanese cars, typically they “stay fixed” once you do maintenance. I was repeatedly replacing the same parts on the Veloster that no other car I’ve had would ever experience failure on.
Depending on the model and how you maintain them, some Japanese makes very much last a long time with a minimal of expenses.
Having daily’ed American, Korean, and Japanese cars, thw Japanese cars have been the most reliable as long as they are maintained.
