Has the Deck turned *off* any other Steam users?
Reply in thread
You never own any game, unless you code it yourself. You might hold a CD in your hands, but the game is still owned by someone else. You only have the right to use it as noted in the license you agreed by purchasing it.

Why should they even package it at all? Just distribute the source code and let the distributors handle it themselves.

I FIXED AMD's Preferred Core Linux patch to FINALLY work for HIGHER BOOST and PERFORMANCE !
Reply in thread
AMD patches for preferred core (prefer those cores which can clock higher) are a mess and ended up not working because of a wrong if condition. Showing that no one at AMD even tested it before submitting. The programmer in the video complains about AMDs developers being incompetent and shows how it's fixed.

WeatherMaster, Open Source, and the Future of Android; An Interview with Pranshul

I'm using Breezy Weather as well and took a look at WeatherMaster. But I have to say that I prefer Breezy Weather. For me the information is much easier to read in the app and the widgets work better for me as what WeatherMaster provides.

Will there be another Steam Deck discount sale later this year?

At the moment, the Ally makes news about their bad build quality. I'm curious for how long the hype about that device will last, the Steam Deck still holds up so far.

"oh, i don't know what this native english speaker is saying, i guess english is still a skill i'm working on"
I'm no native English speaker as well, and that's how I often think as well. In my mother tongue I know so many words, their meaning and their sound. In English, however, I'm still learning new words now and then, and it opens my world to the language every time. This is true for dialects as well.
Learning a new language is quite hard in the beginning, but it's so satisfying and world opening when you start to actually use a new language.
edit Ohh, and sorry for my bad English ;)

Where does the computer branding in KDE settings come from?
Reply in thread
This is part of the motherboard and can only be changed with specific tools from the manufacturer. Back in the days there was AMIDEDOS as a dos tool to change it in AMI Bios. You would need to find out, what tool can be used to change it in your UEFI. However, it's possible that those tools are not available to the public.

I FIXED AMD's Preferred Core Linux patch to FINALLY work for HIGHER BOOST and PERFORMANCE !
Reply in thread
It's not just random, it simply does not even work. Because they set this:
+/*Preferred Core featue is supported*/
+static bool prefcore = true;
And later in the code they do the if condition wrong:
+ if (prefcore)
+ WRITE_ONCE(cpudata->highest_perf, AMD_PSTATE_PREFCORE_THRESHOLD);
+ else
+ WRITE_ONCE(cpudata->highest_perf, AMD_CPPC_HIGHEST_PERF(cap1));
if should look like this:
+ if (prefcore)
+ WRITE_ONCE(cpudata->highest_perf, AMD_CPPC_HIGHEST_PERF(cap1));
+ else
+ WRITE_ONCE(cpudata->highest_perf, AMD_PSTATE_PREFCORE_THRESHOLD);
There is probably even more wrong, looking at the code quality, but this at least makes the preferred core work.

GTAV doesn't run as good as Native
Reply in thread
GTAV works better with AMDVLK, as one of the very few games out there. You could give that a shot, but be aware that AMDVLK often gets selected as default, so having AMD_VULKAN_ICD=RADV in your global Env. Variables are a good idea.
And then launching GTAV with AMD_VULKAN_ICD=AMDVLK %command%.
