Bin gerade auch mit meiner #Dreamcast Anwendung vorwärts gekommen. Das abspielen der #CDDA Tracks funktioniert so, wie ich das erwarte, wenn man es auf der echten #Hardware laufen lässt. Im #Emulator, in diesem Fall #Flycast, funktioniert es nicht richtig. Mal einen Bugreport einreichen, bzw. vielleicht auch mal in den Quellcode reinschauen und ggf. einen Patch einreichen. Mal schauen.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB vs RTX 4060 Ti 16GB: Blackwell GB206 takes on Ada AD106

We're fast approaching an e-waste catastrophe: Windows 10's end-of-life this October.

Almost 4 years since Windows 11 came out, I still don't understand why it needs TPM 2.0, except to force a massive hardware upgrade cycle.

Clearly we need some sort of uprising against this. We need people to have pride in extending the useful life of their hardware and give the finger to unwanted (and privacy-invading) AI features meant to boost sales.

Continued thread

Personal computing needs have stagnated in the last decade. Most people don't need to chase the latest hardware, nor would they even notice the difference.

Most mid-range laptops sold today could easily last for the next 15 years. The treadmill is the software, and all because these giant companies need continuous feeding to remain giants.

Software needs are stagnant too, especially at the OS level, but developers are incentivized to be wasteful.
