Mesa RADV Driver Re-Enables Ray-Tracing Pipelines For AMD VanGogh APUs / Steam Deck www.phoronix.com

Last month The RADV ray-tracing pipelines support was enabled by default but then later disabled for VanGogh APUs, notably the Steam Deck. Now though with the latest ray-tracing code in Mesa 23.2-devel the RADV driver is no longer blocking the support for VanGogh.

    I was able to do it by right clicking the desktop > Configure Desktop and Wallpaper > Mouse Actions > Add Action and continue from there. This only works when you scroll on the actual desktop background, not over any windows/menus.

    It definitely is. If Intel continues to make progress, hopefully it will bring down prices for consumers across all brands. And Intel seems serious about open source drivers, they aren't quite there on Windows yet, but maybe soon.

    Maybe another stupid question, but how does someone mod 50+ communities? I imagine a low-traffic sub would be easy, but a high-traffic one is bound to attract lots of a--holes who need comments deleted/banning/reporting, etc.

    Is this a 24 hr/day gig? Do these mods have day jobs?

    I guess my main questions are how do they do it, and why do they do it.

    I've been looking for a TV for awhile now, and I've found that there aren't really any practical dumb ones. There are a few models, but they're more expensive and have lower specs, cheaper panels, fewer menu options, etc.

    Overall, the smart TVs are going to be cheaper/better because the company plans to make money on target ads, data mining, etc. Just don't connect it or enter a wi-fi password. Sadly that's where we're at now.

    This seems kind of puzzling at first, as someone buying a 7500 is most likely to want integrated graphics. But on the other hand, this could be AMD's way of selling higher spec chips with defects. If a mid-range chip has cores or compute units that don't meet spec, selling it as an 7500F is better than trashing it.

    When I was growing up, back in the Paleozoic era, I'm pretty sure it was illegal to have a red light on the front, white light on the back(except for backup lights), and blue or green were illegal anywhere on a vehicle. But all that seems to have gone out the window since then.

    Of course any vehicle that's been modified to produce excess smoke violates federal (EPA) and possibly local law, but we see how well that's enforced.

    Jump
  • linuxFan linuxFan 1 year ago 87%

    I think these numbers are inflated, but the problem is still pretty bad.

    Part of the problem is we have some politicians here that thrive on uneducated voters. Uneducated voters also tend to be more racist, and racists are a really reliable voting block if you speak their language. Also, they tend to believe "news" that corresponds with what they already believe, so social media and telemarketing works really well on them. Abortion and contraception bans increase the number of children born into poverty, who won't get a decent education and will rely on what they learn from their parents or TV.

    So education funding rarely gets increased.
