@Pirat_Nation it shouldn't run this bad with a 1050ti even if it's in a laptop form factor

A Danish youtuber has been playing Red Dead Redemption 2 at 4 FPS every day. He said that the first missions took him over 12 hours to complete. His PC is a laptop with an i5-8300H and a 1050ti with 4gb

@LundukeJournal has anyone tried using windows 10 on a computer with a 1GHZ cpu and 4GB of ram cause if you did you could imagine what 11 is like on that hardware even bazzite has higher requirements than what ubuntu has

Windows 11: 1 GHz CPU, 4 GB RAM Ubuntu 26.04: 2 GHz CPU, 6 GB RAM That’s right, Ubuntu Linux now has significantly higher CPU and RAM requirements than Windows. Welcome to the future.

@NikTek i'm sure this is probably a auto claim made by the content ID system as it says 'who has blocked it in your country on copyright grounds' which probably means the content ID bot has that video in the system this is not a strike and doesn't affect the channel

The craziest thing ever happened on YouTube. La7, an Italian television channel has used footage from Nvidia DLSS 5 Trailer and then sent a copyright strike to every YouTube video that supposedly used “their footage”, including Nvidia themselves. Nvidia’s own DLSS 5 announcement video has now been taken down by La7 as you can see here.

@Mrcoldhands12 @NTechlibre i sure hope your joking

@NTechlibre This is why we need hardware level age verification. The motherboard should require a component that accepts government ID in order to boot. This component should also integrate with the NIC, so it can send data to the government.

@Pirat_Nation i need a post like this for a 4TB M.2 SSD when they are around the $500 range in canada

DDR5 RAM prices have dropped for the first time in several months. Corsair Vengeance 32GB (2x16GB) 6000MHz kits are now available for around 370 dollars on major retailers like Amazon and Newegg, down from previous levels by 40 to 100 dollars in some cases. This decline may be linked to Google's recent TurboQuant announcement, a KV cache compression technique that can reduce AI model memory usage by up to 6 times.

@CR1337 this is a old list from 2021 now and days if your gaming use a arch distro like cachyos or even just use arch with the archinstall command if you use that i would say it would be intermediate stage this short video explains it youtu.be/oUHq8MyDfZo?si…

@VHSDVDBLURAY4K VHS is not better in any way compared to DVD

@CryptoCyberia i can tell you this happens on the linux version of edge i also found out it's a 1000 bitrate there using but don't take my word for it go play a movie on netflix on pc and press ctrl alt shift d and look at the playing bitrate and you will see you get a better bitrate on a dvd

Today I learned many video streaming sites will serve capped 720p/1080p videos to Firefox/Brave/Chrome because Wildvine L3 requires this for DRM concerns. Meanwhile, Edge uses PlayReady and Safari uses FairPlay, which can get 4k videos served. Imagine paying to stream this lmao.

@DramaAlert the link is here since valve as of making this has it unlisted store.steampowered.com/app/4465480/Co…

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive can now be installed/downloaded on Steam again.

@HedgieMarkets i'm very skeptical how a bill like this gets passed with not even one person saying no to it

🦔 California's Digital Age Assurance Act (AB 1043) takes effect January 2027 and requires every operating system provider to collect user age during account setup and transmit it to app developers via real-time API. The law covers Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, Linux distributions, and SteamOS. Users self-report into four age brackets and developers who receive the data are "deemed to have actual knowledge" of the user's age, shifting legal liability onto them. Penalties run up to $7,500 per violation. My Take The law passed 76-0 in the Assembly and 38-0 in the Senate, which tells you how little political opposition there is to building age verification infrastructure. It starts with self-reporting, which seems harmless, but the legal framework is now in place. Once developers are liable for knowing user ages, the pressure to verify more rigorously only goes one direction. Enforcement against Linux distros is basically impossible since they have no centralized accounts and users download ISOs from mirrors worldwide. The realistic outcome there is a disclaimer that the software isn't intended for California use. But for mainstream operating systems, this is another step toward requiring identity verification just to use a computer. I've been writing about Apple's age verification tools, Discord requiring government ID, Google Maps pushing logins. California just mandated it at the OS level. The justification is always protecting children, which makes it politically untouchable, but the infrastructure being built serves purposes well beyond that. Once every device knows your verified age, the uses for that data will expand. Hedgie🤗

@kianworld the funny part is this is still a better bitrate than you get on netflix if you play it from your computer i tried with the newest john wick movie and got 1000 bitrate

why is Tubi like this. why is Animaniacs only available in 365p

i recently made a poll on reddit asking people why they pirated content and the results might surprise you

@Pirat_Nation could it be something that can be added to retrodeck manually?

RetroDECK for Linux & Steam Deck to remove Nintendo Switch emulation “forever” in the face of DMCA strikes ``Switch emulation has consistently been the source of the most issues within the project, generating the highest volume of warnings, bans, toxicity, and support tickets.´´

@verge it doesn't count music just to let people know

YouTube’s cheaper subscription is getting background play and downloads theverge.com/streaming/8833…

@nealmohan @YouTube can someone let me know if your watching a music video if you have premium lite if they would get the few cent off that + the ad revenue cause if that's the case the regular creator would be getting screwed over cause they wouldn't be getting ad revenue just the premium revenue

Over the next few weeks, we’re introducing new features to our @youtube Premium Lite tier. You’ll soon be able to enjoy most videos offline and in the background, in addition to most videos ad-free. Excited to keep giving our subscribers more flexibility to choose the YouTube experience that’s right for them. Learn more: support.google.com/youtube/answer…

@Dexerto we need this in north america even if it's 15 sec 1 min non skippable ads should never be a thing

Vietnam is to pass a law forcing social platforms like YouTube to let users skip ads within 5 seconds The law comes into effect on February 15

@BeskInfinity this would be nice to play going by the only way to play it is to buy a used copy which doesn't give a penny to rockstar

White Trash Games a modding team from Russia will natively port GTA Vice City Stories to PC it will include Cut content from the game 60fps Full Keyboard and mouse control Ps2 content And way way more. It's reverse engineered to work and It's set to arrive sometime this year

@OdyseeHelp @OdyseeTeam are you talking about the online sync tool that doesn't work right now or odysync cause what i asked is something that doesn't require downloading to peoples systems and could be made easy if it's possible to take the embed youtube link and put it on your odysee page

@RobbyThomas2525 @OdyseeTeam With the sync tool, your videos will now live on Odysee and from censorship, so if YouTube version is ever censored/ deleted, your Odysee version stays!

BEING ABLE TO WATCH ANY YOUTUBE VIDEO ON ODYSEE IS COMING This is a game changer for everyone that's fed up with YT. Note: it doesn't take away from a creator's earning on YT.

@avtramontano @OdyseeTeam from what i can tell it's being embed which is something google provides and if odysee wants they can still have ads play

@OdyseeTeam Not sure about the legal ramifications of this, but we’d have to imagine you’ve explored this. I’m all for this and have been using Odysee for some time.
