Yeah! If there's too much attention from US companies the instances related to piracy can just move. I'm wondering what's the law for US residents who host their website in another country, do they still have to respect US laws?

Oh damn, sorry, yeah, makes sense to link locally. Just changed it.

I was really hoping for good performance on the mac client, but yet again, unbearably slow scrolling, it can't be that hard to make it go fast.

Ended up buying a refined avocado oil, I'm hoping it really is that and not a mix

Maybe I did use too much oil initially, but I also think that since I kept using it while it was flaking it sort of got new layers of seasoning, but unevenly.

I think I was running at native resolution, which is much less than what you're running at.

Edit: Ok, I actually tried running it again, on 1080p, and it's faster than I remember, maybe there was some optimization along the way or something happened. I still get really bad frame drops when the temperature drops. It runs at 45fps until it drops to 10fps for like 10/15 seconds while the temperature drops.

I actually checked cpu and gpu usage, and the cpu is not max at all, but the gpu is at 100% all the time, that might mean that a faster cpu might indeed be useful. Maybe at around 45fps it starts to become cpu bound?

Edit 2: on native resolution it runs at 30fps, and drops to 4fps when temperature drops.

Edit 3: Running at 960x600 resolution keeps it running at 50fps, even when the temperature drops. GPU usage is still at maximum.

Edit 4: Found the culprit. Global illumination is the setting that made the fps drop so hard when temperature drops. Can you check if it happens for you as well on m2 ultra?

I'd love for apple to keep improving rosetta 2 somehow, games which run on metal+x86 translation are still very slow. But I think it contradicts their objectives, they want native/real support, and are only providing this tools to help the transition, not to replace it.

That's the one I have! And it only runs to around 30fps, with marked slow downs when the temperature drops, it's barely playable. I'm not going to upgrade to an m2 max macbook, but I was just hoping a possible m3 max might be good enough for the type of games I'm interested and that I would not need a gaming pc, so I wanted to see the improvement from m1 to m2.

The good thing about european union rules is that there's a big enough market that they want to follow their rules, but not big enough that they can make a separate production chain for everything, so it's easier to follow the rules globally. Like iphones and usb c, just using usb c everywhere is easier.

Slow charging might not be so important in new phones which cool down batteries enough while charging (source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpqaQR4ikig), but keeping battery max % for lithium under 80 is actually pretty good (https://electronics.stackexchange.com/a/623375)

I agree, there are some things which are different for stupid reasons (looking at you lighting port), but others actually make sense. I think forcing companies to provide official support for technicians, and to not block third party spare parts would be good enough. Allow my local technician to use a random chinese battery after the official ones stop being produced, or keep producing batteries for at least 10 years after a phone's release.

Even better, they could standardize batteries and battery sizes, needing to swap out the battery might mean a lot of downsides, but having a set of standard batteries that you build your phone around might not be that bad.

 

I searched for ages for a replacement of something like torrentz, and the rarbg drop made me start the search again. I ended up trying the included search in qbittorrent, and I'm very happy with the results, it scans many public trackers, and I have always found what I wanted.

To be clear, qbittorrent is a desktop app for linux/windows/mac, that has a panel where you can search for torrents:

There's also official support from cable matters since a few weeks ago (seems they got the idea from the thread, which is much older):

Does anyone have benchmarks on how much better m2 is at gaming?

Specifically I'd like to see benchmarks for native games, and rosetta games like frostpunk, which seem to be cpu bound quite heavily.

I have found lots of individual benchmarks, but no direct comparison.
