>why this could be a registered hit
99% of the time it's because of client-side prediction being too lenient. Probably wasn't possible to hit on the server, or on any other client, but it was for this guy and somehow the server accepted his request and registered it as a hit.

>>106436413
>But maybe that's still not good enough and you'd like a blur.
If you want a blurred edge I think the best approach is to do your big occluder objects in a separate pass and then just combine them with your other stuff in a fullscreen pass applying a circular mask around the player's coordinates.
Main concern here would be overdraw since your big occluder objects are going to naturally take up a lot of the screen area so you're going to render a lot of the background pixels unnecessarily. Shouldn't be too bad with a deferred renderer since you're putting off the expensive lightning calcs until after but I don't see how you could do it in a forward renderer without a big performance penalty unless the lighting is very simple and cartoony like in the pic. In either case it's not ideal though especially if you have detailed models which is probably why it feels like most games just draw an outline around the player when they go behind stuff.

They aren’t deprecated yet but you can get by solely using them for textures and use BDA for everything else, which is what I’m doing. According to the people in the know in the Vulkan discord the descriptor set replacement is coming. My guess is 1.5 so late 2026. Descriptor buffers are a glorified test of theory and their debugging support is finicky.

>I highly doubt T480 is usable for web browsing in 2025 without caveats or copium.
you're an absolute retard. I still use my 2 Thinkpads (T480 and A485) for web browsing, few games, video watching, and pretty much anything I throw at it that's not local AI or AAA slop. and it's overkill for most of those tasks still. my parents browse on my old x230 and it's still fine, just a bit slow to launch programs because it doesn't have a SSD

I have an issue. I got a new battery for my T440p, which was working fine. But I left it on sleep mode for many days and now it seems to have lost all its capacity.

Recalibration (sudo tlp recalibrate BAT0) does not seem to have changed anything. What can I do to resurrect the battery?

This is the output of sudo tlp-stat -b

not sure if that's gonna be of any help but I had a (non-Thinkpad) laptop that refused to charge a couple months ago after its battery stayed empty for too long (there's an issue with it where even if it's turned off entirely, battery will drain slowly, idk why)
I tried to let it charge overnight but it didn't work so I unplugged it. a week or two later I tried plugging it again and it started charging
>>
>>106436987
I hope I get a different answer, but I will surely try this. I use this laptop while away from home, so I will remove the battery and let it sit for over a week to see if that "restarts" it.

Thank you for the suggestion, anon. I'm at my wit's end.
>>
>>106437066
well the only other answer I can think of is to contact the seller and tell him the battery doesn't charge and you want to swap it for one that works. that assumes you're still covered by the return period though

They suck.

I’ve posted on Reddit r/applesucks and I got a shit ton of fanboys attacking me.

I said, Macbooks are all overpriced garbage and Windows laptop of similar prices can easily beat them.

Apple fanboys are crying. They can’t accept the fact that they just paid $2000 for a piece of premium garbage, so they resorted to attack me ad hominem. I must be a horrible person who is a teenager and who is unemployed to speak such an outlandish claim.

Well, I said it. Macbook Pros are overpriced garbage and you can get Windows laptops at similar prices with way better performance. A macbook pro can be bought at 60% of its price for a Windows laptop that performs just as same.

Yet Apple fanboys can’t deal with this.

Well, too bad your parents and your schools did not teach you critical thinking skills, you fucking retards and fanboys. What a bunch of sore losers.

Clowns.

The battery lasts longer, the screen is brighter/more color accurate, and the speakers get louder without distortion when compared to any equivalent price Windows laptop.
I have noticed and have been bothered by fan noise on many laptops.
>>106435968
Having a laptop with long-ass battery life means you don't have to think about finding opportunities to plug it in all the time.
Every battery ages. If you take two new laptops, one with 18 hours of battery and one with 4 hours of battery, and then age them with 3 years of regular use, the one that started with longer battery life will still be longer lasting.
>>
>>106436925
I've just never been in a situation where the laptops battery life was an actual issue. Nor have I ever encountered a laptop who's fan I would describe as loud.

Do these cables support charging with PPS?
https://www.amazon.co.uk/INIU-Charger-Charging-MacBook-Samsung-2m/dp/B09MQ4KZ27

I'm only finally getting into USB-C charging (because I only just got modern devices lol). Seems bloody complicated, first there's PD, then there's PPS within PD. Seems if your device wants to charge with PPS but the charger or cable is PD but non-PPS then it will fall back to a slow 15W speed or something, even though the phone can take much more, and the charger and cable technically can supply much more. All these complicated fucking protocols. And that's just the power side, the data side is a whole separate can of worms.
