PC gaming market is being killed by the high prices of GPU's and all these smaller LLM's that people are playing with are causing it. That and greed.
AMD is still way behind NVIDIA. The number of games that still does not support FRS3 is bad, FRS4 is a even worse, and on the flip side you have to look far and wide to find a game that does not support DLSS (newer games). Then there is power consumption which AMD always lags behind in.
Yeah, HDMI 2.1 was a complete scam. It had a lot of impressive improvements over 2.0, but they were basically all optional, so seeing a HDMI 2.1 badge on a box or device meant nothing.
Wasn't that issue that they refused to allow the HDMI support being included in an open-sourced format? If I'm remembering that correctly, then it seems like an easy workaround would be to let people choose to either install proprietary precompiled drivers with HDMI support, or open-source drivers that don't include the super-secret HDMI stuff the Forum is so worried about.
I know proprietary anything is the antithesis of the FOSS community, but if the HDMI Forum creates legal obstacles to using important hardware features of your devices, then I think offering both options is a reasonable workaround.
I'm really hoping they don't remove the drivers from the Microsoft Update Catalog at least.
An offline, alternate options is Snappy Driver Installer Origin - https://www.snappy-driver-installer.org/
Recently, to get a Serial Port-USB cable adapter to work correctly (updating an old handheld GPS), I had to downgrade the driver from the 2024 to the 2021 version.
Question
bodhicoyote
Hi all,
Does anyone know of a tool that can read the SMART data from an IDE or SATA drive that's in an external enclosure, connected via USB or FireWire?
I've googled but can't find anything. :(
Thanks!
PS - I'm talking about actual hard drives, not USB pen/stick drives.
