Irrelevant. Even studies of the most accurate wearables (this is actually an area where Apple's products excel in) show that you don't get healthier by monitoring your fat arse taking steps. Simply identifying the problem doesn't solve anything. The gamification of health is little more than a curiosity for people and doesn't lead to long term improved health.

E.g. my fitness monitor said I spent 10 hours sitting yesterday. Yes I was wearing it. It didn't magically make me get up a go running. Apparently I still need to do that myself.

Except not only is it consistent, one statement happens to supports the other. Neither statement is absolute enough to preclude the other. Look up the word "tough" in the dictionary if you're having trouble. The fact that a disease has a tough time spreading is precisely the reason why people get it less frequently.

Less alcohol before posting on Slashdot. Make yourself healthy again.

As an impartial outsider to this discussion every source I could find shows that Canada has better ranked health outcomes than the USA healthcare system. Your service is horrible, but congrats on living to complain about it. Evidentially for those who aren't as lucky in the USA that would be an improvement.

Single payer public healthcare does not preclude the existence of private healthcare clinics. Many places in the world have systems operating in parallel.

No. The comments are full of people who don't understand there's more to bandwidth requirements than number of pixels. HDMI 2.1 cannot run run of the mill gaming monitors at their native refresh rates. 4K max supported refresh is 144Hz without compression. $300 gets you 160Hz 4k gaming monitors. $550 gets you either higher refresh monitors, or monitors supporting HDR10 at 144Hz which is also beyond the capabilities of HDMI 2.1

Forget multiple 4K monitors, HDMI is limiting single 4K monitors.

You don't. But it's a comparative number people can get behind on their displays all else being equal. But that's not the only thing related to bandwidth. Not all else is equal. You got a 4K 60Hz 8bpp display? Great. I have a 120Hz HDR display which at 4K hits the upper limit of HDMI. But my display is far from the best.

Around $350 buys you a ROG Strix XG32UQ: A display which says in the manual quite clearly that its max refresh rate is unsupported over HDMI 2.1 and that you need DP 2.0 to actually use the capabilities of this not very expensive and not at all high end run of the mill gaming monitor. There are far better gaming monitors out there. There are already higher resolution monitors out there. There are plenty monitors with HDR10 support out there.

HDMI 2.1 is limiting on todays hardware.

Are you confusing this with Displayport or are you completely ignorant? HDMI is bandwidth constrained with current generation monitors, relying on compression to get the data where it needs to go in the high end.

Maybe let the actual experts do their job rather than calling for them to be disbanded. They clearly know more about this than you do.

The correct headline is: "Lenovo Legion Go S performs better with custom SteamOS than Windows 11". This isn't a Windows vs Linux debate. The actual performance difference between the OSes is a complete crapshoot that varies greatly from device to device and specific implementation to implementation.

Even today people who run Windows 11 on the Steamdeck (it's got bugs, the main reason to do this is for compatibility with the few games that don't run on Proton) find a mixed bag between games which perform better in one OS vs the other.

Any article that says Windows 11 is slower than SteamOS is wrong. Any article that says Windows 11 is faster than SteamOS is wrong. There are soo many variables that are uncontrolled in these statements.

That said there is one performance difference that does seem to be consistent. For those people who have run tests on frame time consistency it seems SteamOS has universally beaten Windows in this. Even with a slower frame rate it can be more appealing to use than a stuttering game.

Decade of linux on desktop is almost upon us!

Sad part is, this nonsense is the result of linux being so utterly uncompetitive on desktop. Microsoft didn't even feel the need to make some kind of a "game mode" that would shut down spyware and other background nonsense when it detects that a game is running, much less actually optimize the OS for performance properly.

Yet the story before is now Americans are scammed out of 44Billion/year in banking fraud. There’s just going to increasing work for CS capable people as the world goes all in on digital everything just trying to keep it all working.

You don't. Some massive outdoor displays may need that for making smaller text readable.

But the thing that is actually relevant for consumers is

>supporting uncompressed 4K at 240 Hz with 12-bit color depth

Those monitors already exist, and they use DisplayPort 2.0/2.1 because HDMI doesn't meet their requirements.

This. Of all the marketing wank about 16k, the actually relevant part is this:

>supporting uncompressed 4K at 240 Hz with 12-bit color depth

This is what actually exists, and has been supported by DP since 2019 or so.

You literally gave me a marketing wank version of reply, down to the marketing term "resilience" often used to white wash downturns.

Ask chatGPT to give you a proper analysis, and not marketing wank.

You're missing critical context of extreme measures EU Commission has demanded nation states take (and nation states largely took) to promote BEVs over everything else.

This particular gravy train is murdering European car manufacturers, which is a key sector. And the moment just one of many extreme measures was dropped in Germany, demand crashed by a fifth. And that's the richest nation on the list. Everyone else is poorer and therefore more price-conscious.

I think you overestimate just how much the most consumed drink in the world actually penetrantes the world. I live in one of the most coffee consuming countries in the world and I know countless people who don't drink tea or coffee. It's popular for sure, but it's not completely ubiquitous.

Providing my heart doesn't explode from the speed at which it beats after drinking 10 cups a day I should be able to live forever!
