This week it’s been Megaman II (1988).
I feel like games before that era had a lot of coin-op focus. Not much content, but hard enough that you’ll be pouring more credits into the machine. That said, I’ve been itching to play Alley Cat (1983), but I don’t have a good setup for MS-DOS games at the moment. I’ll have to see if my Miyoo mini is up for the task.
I’ve been trying to convince my boomer wife to try affinity. She works mostly with print, and it seems like a good fit to me.
I used to play it a lot when it was cool.
I thought it was an ncurses multiplayer tetris-clone.
Resizable BAR was previously cited as a requirement for Intel ARC cards, but I think the drivers today can do without. Sounds like your system might be too old to have that. Might be a soft requirement, as in you’ll see a performance drop if you don’t have it.
My RX580 does the job just fine. Does 1080p at 3x realtime for HEVC, and 10x for h.264.
They’re dirt cheap second hand.
I moved from kts24 to a hetzner arm node earlier this week. So far I’m very impressed.
I use syncthing. Share from any app, land on that directory on your server.
I think that limit (previously 5GB) is for files that they’ll store for you. Larger transfers are P2P only.
I recommend https://wormhole.app for the purpose. Drag, drop, leave the tab open.
Ubuntu touch supports it decently
Haven’t heard anything, just from memory of my own testing. Looking back at my notes I see a 40-50% speed up with VideoToolbox compared to x265 on M1, but at a lot crappier quality.
I haven’t tested in quite a while, though. I wrote off doing encoding on the M1, as my AMD cards are a lot faster (and produce better results).
It’s hard to beat a GPU in HEVC encoding performance. SoC:s have comparable performance to dGPU:s in that regard. A used zen/zen2 laptop might be a cheap and tiny workhorse for the purpose. I have a zen/vega10 matebook 2020 that does 1080p at around 2.5-3x real-time at high quality presets. No doubt it could do 4k at faster presets.
With the hardware in my arsenal I’ve found that AMD>Intel>nVidia, at least quality wise. VideoToolbox on Mac is down there with nVidia, and Apple silicon being pretty slow at it compared to software x265 on the same machine.
Sounds like it’s localStorage. But I’d expect that to be covered by “site data” in that option.
It’s a bit like cookies, but just for one site. Some think they can avoid cookie consent banners with localStorage.
