This is a list of games from which Denuvo was removed. That makes them potentially worth playing. You’re outright dismissing the entire list of games because they had Denuvo at one time.
I’m not even suggesting you support the developers, pirate away. Some of these games are good now that Denuvo was removed.
there are a lot of games on here that are neither AAA or big piles of shit… you’re just not interested in them.
“Only the games I care about are good”
Why not compare 720p 265 to 1080p 265? I don’t get anything in 264 these days, 265 support is ubiquitous and the performance is so much better.
Radio is the OG fediverse and I want to promote decentralization and self-sufficiency. Amateur radio is a lot easier and more accessible than you might think.
No worries! It’s a cool hobby. Getting licensed was a bucket list item, as nerdy as that sounds. Still gotta learn Morse code but I hope to one of these days. Seeing some old heads tapping away at a local HAM event was pretty damn cool.
I did - I’ve got my general license. Missed extra by 2 questions despite not studying for it whatsoever.
Honestly I’ve been doing this for like 2 years now and I’ve not really keyed up and transmitted in the amateur radio sense, just GMRS walkie talkie stuff with the homies. Still, it’s super cool being able to listen. Picking up satcom stuff is just neat. I also take it to the airport and listen to the pilots talk with tower/ground crew.
One of these days I’ll transmit for real, but I have no problem following the “LURK MOAR” guideline as applied to amateur radio as I learn the culture.
You can buy a cheap Chinese HT like a Quansheng UV-K6 for like $40. These have open firmware and there’s a bunch of custom options radio nerds have whipped up. Get the USB programming cable even if you’re not doing custom FW, makes programming frequencies and tweaking options much easier. You’ll also need a license and in the US, HamStudy.org has the exact questions from the test. There’s a ton of YouTube channels you can watch and books you can read for general purpose radio knowledge. Then it’s just a matter of getting a proper antenna and pointing it in the right place at the right time; there’s free resources online, paid apps, all that is out there and it’s just a matter of wanting to learn it. The actual hardware you need to get started is really cheap these days.
You’d be better served learning how to do it yourself. It’s not hard and it’s a pretty cool skill to have (amateur radio).
I picked up a 5090FE just after Christmas at MSRP, also tax free since I bought it from the military PX. Seems like an absolutely insane deal now, which is sad considering it’s the single most expensive computer purchase I’ve ever made in 20 years of PC building. This shit is untenable.

This external drive I have is just USB mass storage. It’s using the USB protocol and shows as removable external storage, same as a flash drive.
Removable storage is not the issue here. There is no significant overhead introduced by having removable storage with USB mass storage protocol.
OP is forced into using MTP which does suck and adds overhead. This is not the “normal” way of transferring to me, that would be USB mass storage.
No, that is not what I am suggesting at all.
Decompressing the zip on the phone is an inefficient operation, as you are reading and writing to/from the same storage device. It’s much more efficient to forgo the zip altogether and just transfer the files from one device to the other. No zipping whatsoever.
As said in other comments, it’s MTP that’s the issue here. Just use USB mass storage. MTP blows.
Interesting, so eSATA protocol can be used over a USB physical link?
Why does this overhead not exist when I’m sending files over USB to an external HDD or flash drive?
I have an external HDD array connected via USB 3.2 and it handles file transfers same as a SATA drive. There’s no handshaking beyond the initial negotiation of the USB connection, certainly not on a per-file basis.
I don’t see that specified anywhere, just looked at OPs history. MTP blows. Surely that’s not the only option on Android these days?
Right… that’s what I’m saying! My entire point.
Sending a zip of music files to a phone, then decompressing that zip on the phone, seems like a really stupid idea to me. You’ve now set up a situation where you’re reading and writing to one drive rather than reading from one and writing to another.
Understood. I’m also talking about sending a full zip over to the flash drive, then unzipping it on that same flash drive.
Music files are large enough to not get affected by overhead like sending a ton of 1kb files. I see no significant difference in transfer time sending 100 10mb files or a single 1000mb file.
This is a totally different story with actually small files (ie kilobytes). Music downloads are not small, they’re multiple megabytes.
This does not match my experiences. Transferring files over USB would absolutely be faster than sending a zip and unzipping it on a flash drive. I can easily do 300MB/s over USB3.2 when transferring music files.
Unzipping a large file is going to be a bunch of reads and write and the large file is going to transfer at the exact same speed as the smaller music files, which are not “small”, they’re still tens of MB. So, the zip and music files take roughly the same time except now you have to wait to unzip with one large file. It does not save time.
Transferring tens of thousands of 1kb files will slow things down, and I’d zip this, but music files are big enough.
If I didn’t get into so many niche genres of music through piracy in the 00s, I’d not have a vinyl collection worth the same as a lower end luxury car today.
