32-bit programs can’t use as much memory as 64-bit programs. Being able to use more memory means less loading from the disk. 64-bit also tends to be more optimized these days as most systems have moved to it already. In this case, I had no idea TF2 was still 32-bit.

Call me out if I’m wrong, but my Deck is noticeably snappier after this update. TF2 is also smoother, which is weird considering the game hasn’t changed visually at all. Not even an update notice of anything major.

I’m guessing he is referring to the fact we aren’t going to see tailored updates like the Steam Deck has gotten over the years. Updates that improve performance and the experience. It’s windows so beyond device drivers and their terrible ArmorCrate software there isn’t much room to grow better. It’s not a bad device though, it just misses the point.

The problem is they keep breaking in-home streaming to/from the Deck. My Mac has a significantly more GPU oomph so there are some games I'd like to play streamed, but streaming hasn't worked in either direction since last year.

Japan too. The U.S. Congress threatened Japan with a trade war if they didn't shutter their TRON project to create a domestic Unix. Nowadays it's almost entirely Windows, and Japan has stagnated in terms of technology. They might have another chance at it with the world searching for an alternative to Taiwan for semiconductors and the potential legal status of AI training in Japan.

I don’t care whose indexes they use so long as the results are good. The problem isn’t the index, it’s how the contents get prioritized and presented. Kagi happens to do so well for me.

He offered to start a conversation about the blog post and give his perspective. The only thing I see here is the author refusing to stand on their post.

Anon discovers he should bought a Mac if he likes *nix and being a normie.

Having done my time as an Army medic, this is incorrect. It takes more force than that, but less than you might think. A good 25 kilos with some velocity behind it will easily sever a phalange. Up it to 50 or 80 kilos and you can claim an arm or shin. Mass is the real killer. I’ve seen a vehicle at comically slow speed absolutely yeet someone because it had several tons of momentum behind it.
