HardwareUnboxed did a with/without ray tracing comparison. TL;DR in most games it’s not worth the performance hit. Don’t bother with ray tracing for now, especially on low or mid-range hardware. https://youtu.be/DBNH0NyN8K8

Need? No. But hardware acceleration makes things faster and more efficient.

You copy pasted 3 possible answers from the font of infinite possible answers. OP could have done the same themselves but chose to ask humans.

To be fair, LLMs are very good at this sort of associative lookup. But I agree that it doesn’t add much to thr conversation. It’s like the modern equivalent of letmegooglethatforyou

I’ve never felt silicon degradation on a CPU. But I can say that I’ve had a GPU with a stable overclock for years that started getting a bit flakey and I had to go back to stock settings. Of course for GPUs there are also more frequent driver updates. Maybe that effect was due to the driver and games also trying to squeeze more out of the hardware.

I have the paid version, I’m on a 109 day streak, and the stupid bird still looks like that. Must be a bug

IP rights is not a problem that needs solving. In fact, the existing legal system has ways of punishing copyright violations whereas the Blockchain does not.

Supply chain validation is also an example of the block chain “in action”. But the people that are entering the data on the Blockchain are the same people that were typing it in an email yesterday.

I used to be a fan of the technology as well but so far it hasn’t show itself to be useful. A solution in search of a problem.

No config. It should just work

KDE Connect? Edit: It doesn’t look like that supports calling. But it does texting
