My experience (and many others’) has been contradictory to yours. AMD, on the other hand, pretty much always works without any fuss because they release first-party open source drivers.
What is “reasonably cheap”?
My advice would be to buy something cheap. Then if you have extra cash, get yourself a desktop gaming PC. A laptop just has too many sacrifices. Low power, poor thermals, and high cost.
Have you considered a Steam Deck?
Gave up Beeper when they got acquired also. Also after their iMessage implementation was patched in like 3 days.
Cant recommend anything with Nvidia.
You’re looking for “collusion”.
Who lied about what?
I’m not going to agree with this non-article that it’s always streaming that much data.
What article are you talking about? The one in the OP doesn’t say that.
Meanwhile, scattered reports of MS Flight Sim 2020’s bandwidth consumption point toward a more conservative ~100 Mb/s in densely populated photogrammetry areas, such as major cities. Usage in lighter areas could dip as low as 10 Mb/s, though the official Microsoft bandwidth recommendation for that game was 50 Mb/s.
Because game streaming introduces latency and instability, which can be a huge problem in something like a flight sim.
Much less of a problem when all inputs are processed locally, and only the textures and models are being streamed.
Because we have no other choice.
Honestly it’s not that bad in most places but certainly there are plenty where data caps are a problem.
official Microsoft bandwidth recommendation for that game was 50 Mb/s.
which comes out to 23GB/hr.
I mean, assuming you’re using the maximum recommended bandwidth 100% of the time…? Doesn’t seem very realistic.
Yeah man, all the way to zero, because that’s how much you pay for no internet.
I’ll just throw it out there, why wpukdnt you want it to stream back as fast as possible?
Speed is not the problem. The problem is the sheer quantity of data needed to play a video game. Some people have data caps. Others may not be able to run the game smoothly, and others still not at all.
This is like the same stupid RAM argument. I WANT you to use as much as you can! What is the point of paying for the pipe if you don’t use everything you can?!
It’s not stupid to not want software consuming more RAM than is necessary.
I bet the gov would love to host your email and have access to all the same info Google does…
I’m not sure what you’re expecting from a Pixel feature drop
Features to drop for my Pixel. Not the apps I don’t use.
Also this:
Alongside the Android 15 update
Updates to the actual operating system itself.
My solution was buying a $150 iMac.
More than that, actually. I measured well over 250 over large cities. Others have reported more than 300.
Interesting that they’re able to maintain such speeds for streaming map data but not downloads…
In this case, it does.
It doesn’t, in any case. Cache is, by definition, temporary.
I have a Pixel phone, Brangus
I don’t use Instagram, Pixel Watch, or Google and I’m not a diver, so I will make use of zero of these improvements. Remember when Android updates actually improved the Android operating system?
It’s not unreasonable at all. I locked myself out of several accounts after everyone recommended keypass for TOTP and then I lost all the keys. Getting those accounts back was a fucking nightmare.
No.
