Use case for Vsync? I never seem to notice frame tearing in-game and every time I do turn Vsync on I can feel input lag.

Triple buffering adds no latency because drivers do their draw call buffering in the background regardless.
>>
>>107829458
Vsync doesn't have a performance impact in any modern game. It only ever had a performance impact in poorly written games that sequentially ran input sampling, game update, and render, on the same thread.
>>
>>107829823
>If you play in windowed mode then there's no screen tearing because dwm.
Multi-Planar Overlays (MPO) called. They want you to know you're wrong.

MPO gives each window its own hardware-overlay where compositing them bypasses the DWM and is directly done on the graphics card. This also means each individual window gets access to the real vsync signal. Aaa--nd each individual window can experience tearing, if it chooses not to use vsync.

This is also infinite amounts of fun with old games that deny you the ability to enable vsync when choosing borderless or windowed rendering modes. Because then you have to force it through the Nvidia or AMD control panel software. And sometimes that isn't quite compatible, because some games e.g. use different frame pacing logic when their game-internal vsync option is enabled or disabled. So you get a choice between tearing or stutter-fest.

What helps with that is that on modern versions of Windows, both 10 and 11, next to MPO there's also a 'game optimizations' feature. What this does is turn D3D requests for exclusive full screen rendering context, into non-exclusive fullscreen. So you can configure those older games to render in 'full screen' instead - which allows you to enable their vsync option - while in actuality that particular Windows 'game optimizations' feature will force them to render borderless / non-exclusive. (And because of MPO, vsync will still work.)
>>
>>107831775 (cont.)
Ofcourse, this isn't a perfect solution either, because MPO is not supported on all DXGI blit modes (yey!).
So for games that use an unsupported blit mode, configuring them to render exclusive fullscreen (aka true fullscreen) while the game optimizations feature is enabled, will actually have them render as non-exclusive fullscreen (aka borderless) and without MPO, vsync won't work.

The game optimizations feature is a GLOBAL feature.
So enjoy toggling that fucker on and off on a game by game basis; as need arises.
And ofcourse- it's hidden deep inside the modern Settings app, something like 6 or so clicks deep.
Because Microsoft cannot get ANYTHING right.

Hytale uses QUIC for multiplayer. What do you think about it? Is this the first reasonably popular game that implements multiplayer over QUIC instead of using TCP or their own custom protocol on top of UDP?
>>

>>107831502
I think you're expecting too much from /g/. Nobody here has ever designed something as complex as an online games protocol and nobody here understands what using QUIC gives you over TCP and what you give up in exchange, especially in expensive server setups.

At most, you'll get some schizo off his meds complaining that "THE TRANNIES!!!!!" are getting rid of TCP to further their goals of world domination or something.

Apple says Face ID is more secure than Touch ID but is that even true?
Sure, Face ID is statistically less likely to return a false positive with random faces because faces are more diverse than fingerprints are but fingerprints are more randomly distributed, so the odds that you know someone who shares enough facial features with you (say, biological family members, for instance) to trigger a false positive have to be higher than someone you know having a similar enough fingerprint. Even though faces can potentially be more different between individuals, fingerprints are less often shared between people the user and people who regularly appear in his life, who are the most likely people to attempt to unlock his devices without his permission.
Additionally, if you're holding someone else's phone in their presence, I'd imagine it's harder to unlock their phone against their will by taking them by surprise with Touch ID than it would be with Face ID. With Face ID, all the user has to do is glance at the device for even a split second. With Touch ID, you need to place your finger -- the right finger -- on the sensor and press. It's a more involved and intentional process, but also a more convenient one because you don't have to uncover your face or position yourself correctly or make eye contact with the device in order to initiate the unlock sequence.
Shouldn't it also be harder to fabricate a counterfeit fingerprint than it would be to create a mask realistic enough to unlock the device?

Basically, Touch ID seems just better than Face ID across the board. The only practical upside to Face ID I can think of is the ability to read notification details without touching the device.

Is there something I'm not considering here or are fingerprint sensors just better than facial recognition?

The police can just hold your phone to your face to unlock it and the courts have allowed it.

>>107830658
>>107830625
Anon I think you're conflating Face Unlock (Android; uses RGB "selfie" cam) with Face ID (uses TrueDepth, separate from the selfie camera).
Taking a photo or video of the device's owner only works with Face Unlock because Face Unlock is purely software and just scans the camera feed for what looks like a face before comparing that face to the one on file. Face ID looks for shape, not color. It uses lasers to create a depth map of whatever objects are in front of it and compare that shape to the one on file. If you hold up a photo of the registered face, the TrueDepth camera won't see the photo. It'll just see the shape of whatever object is supposed to be displaying it. So, a hand holding a rectangle. And since neither of those shapes resemble a human head, it wouldn't trigger a false positive.
This is also why Face ID works in pitch black darkness and Face Unlock does not, and why Face ID doesn't care about things like makeup or lighting.

>make it run on a modern EFI system
Take a gander at Arch or Gentoo or similar installation manual, they are all basically the same. Relevant part is the one where you take a kernel image, place it at the EFI system partition (named as linux.efi for example) and create an appropriate boot entry.
Pro tip: use
>root=PARTUUID=****
for identifying the root filesystem. Assumed you aren't using encryption or LVM or RAID or anything of the sort, if you are you need the usual initramfs wizardy and idk about that stuff.
>>
>>107831361
Thanks for the tips.
I already have experience with using the Ubuntu EFI stack and kernel on old distros (Bitdefender RescueCD, which is Gentoo-based). It's a matter of copying a few files across from the Ubuntu ISO.

I'm pretty sure they have hybrid ones now that have rechargeable internal batteries; All you would need to do is connect with USB to charge when it gets low. I imagine they would last in the ball-park of 8-10 hours per charge, depending on the battery capacity, and if they force you to use rgb. Look for something that doesn't have lights, or allows you to toggle the lights on/off.

To me the weirdest thing is that there's no memory command. I would have expected something like an op to erase a whole range of memory like memset but as an op that would be taken care of by the memory controller, so it was weird to find out that everything in memory must be written word by word.
