It’s a Circuit City.
I bought my first PC’s parts all from TigerDirect’s website. Did a bunch of my research for it using their catalogue.
Nowadays I’m just happy to live an hour from a Microcenter.
Is that Reinhard Von Musel?
I am here for the MMO-ified explanation of economic systems.
The architecture was originally developed for desktop PCs, but they discovered it was incredibly efficient at the time (late 80s, early 90s), so Apple partnered with ARM to develop it for the Newton.
The first commercial device with an ARM chip that I remember fondly was a Gameboy Advance.
It’s more like a built-in hardware emulation mode than anything else. Modern ARM chips use out of order execution as the default, whereas x86 uses ordered execution as the default. M-series and Snapdragon X chips have a little flag that can be passed to tell the hardware to run in in-order mode instead of out-of-order mode.
Depends on how it’s implemented. If they have a version of Proton that translates all x86 windows syscalls to ARM Linux, some operations could be extremely efficient.
There’s definitely got to be more overhead overall, though. Especially for devices with memory page sizes other than 4K, like the M-series Apple chips do (they use 16K as their page size), likely a VM will need to be sandwiched in there to ensure memory alignment. It’ll more fully be emulation and not just translation.
Even Rosetta still gives up 10%+ efficiency compared to a native compilation of the same program. I’m not saying it’s not viable, but in a resource constrained (especially battery-constrained) device 10% is a lot.
Steam for Android ready to play my PC games from my phone sounds awesome, not gonna lie.
In the shorter-term the issue is the lack of sufficiently powerful commercially-available RISC-V hardware for the level of gaming people expect out of a Steam Deck or VR headset, which ARM already has a number of SOCs capable of.
I don’t doubt that the work will continue but Valve isn’t likely to pour time or money into it until they think the hardware is there.
If you switch the devices line to
- /dev/dri:/dev/dri
as other have suggested, that should expose the Intel iGPU to your Jellyfin docker container. Presently you’re only exposing the Nvidia GPU.
QSV is the highest quality video transcoding hardware acceleration out there. It’s worth using if you have a modern Intel CPU (8th gen or newer)
What happens when a genius gets bored
I loved my DS the best of any non-PC handheld I have owned.
Final Fantasy 3 took up many many hours on car rides. Castlevania Portrait of Ruin is an all-time banger of a game, glad it finally got republished in a collection.
The first game I got on DS was Super Mario 64 DS, which, on top of having one of the finest minigame collections of any handheld game and being able to do single-card multi-player via download play, was a fine adaptation of one of the greatest platformer games ever made.
Brain Age and its offshoots spawned a whole cottage industry. Really, the DS was one of the first widely owned devices that had a decently reliable touch screen, so it got used for a lot of non-gaming stuff in addition to having such a huge library of games.
Pokemon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum are the best of the classic top-down JRPG style Pokemon games IMO, so the DS also gets credit for having the peak of those games.
The original DS was also home to some of the best point and click adventure games of its era, like 999. This was before Telltale really took off with The Walking Dead, Batman, etc and the genre was mostly dead in the west at the time, so when some quirky Japanese point and click escape room/mystery games dropped it really was incredibly refreshing at the time. Those games still hold up IMO.
When the 3DS came out, I was a little disappointed by the StreetPass features. I live in a fairly rural area so I would only get to play Mii Adventure or whatever it was called when I would go into a city for a convention or something similar where you knew a large concentration of nerds was going to exist. I suppose it makes more sense in Japan with their higher population density. Regardless, the 3DS’ Gamecube-tier graphics, nicer buttons, better screen, and control stick all make it a superior machine to the DS in every iteration.
It’s really just a shame that Nintendo used the 3DS naming scheme. Like with the WiiU it led to consumer confusion where parents assumed it was just an upgrade on the original and not a whole new console generation. The naming implied it was just the next model after the DSi-XL and that all it added was 3D, rather than being Nintendo’s first properly online handheld and having a generational leap in raw power.
If I were going to buy a dual-screened handheld today, I’d probably go for the AYANEO Flip DS, which seems to be basically a next-gen Steam Deck but with the DS form factor. That said, it’s pretty pricey.
Luigi in Mario Kart, Link or Marth or Mewtwo, depending on which Smash game.
Yes, it did need the /s.
Good on you for reflecting on your ineffective communication and correcting course.
I guess don’t know how to break it to you that saying “f you” is not creative without being on a high horse then.
I give you a decent counterargument with some bonus alliteration and all you can muster is a strawman?
Also, speaking of cope. To say that a person using curse words instead of a witty remark is somehow smart cause smart people use curse words doesn’t sound right but I don’t how else to interpret the ETA you made.
You’ve reversed cause and effect here. I didn’t say that all people who curse are smart. I said smart people curse.
You’ve argued from a cliché and from a strawman misrepresentation of my original point. I hope someday you look back and cringe at your small-minded pretentiousness in this thread.

Scientific studies have shown that curse words relieve physical pain better than any alternatives.
So there are some situations where anything else is an objectively worse option.
ETA: I’m willing to bet the reason this is being downvoted is due to the holier-than-thou attitude you’re copping, OP. It’s also something of a classist-coded cliché to claim that people who curse lack vocabulary, intelligence, education, or creativity. This is, of course counter to the fact that studies have shown that people with higher intelligence are more likely to use salty language.
