...or just suck it up and use the text mode installer. The card may be newer than your distro. You may need to install 3rd party drivers after the install is done.
This is what game companies that haven't lost their soul do. They experiment. Sometimes the experiment fails, sometimes it becomes the defining work of a genre.
Also, you don't have to provide patches. You can also provide good bug reports. These are talented experienced graphics programmers that like to push hardware to it's limits. They are likely to "break things" and kind of know what's going on. They can share this information with the people who need to know.
That could be the community or that could be Nvidia.
> Intel GPUs don't "suck", they're just not as high-performance as the others.
This is a thread about GAMES, not what your grandma uses to surf the web. Intel GPUs do indeed SUCK. They suck so much that sometimes they aren't supported by a major studio at all.
Yes. This is a defining moment. If we leave things to the corporate shills, then the future will be owned by a single company in a much more destructive manner than what we saw last time with Microsoft.
In this case your "little guy" would be the jury foreman.
Plenty of us have already said that he is full of shit and that his patent is an embarrassment to the profession.
Of course if you aren't just a mindless brand partisan you will be "singing the same tune". Some of us here are not treating the Soylent Corporation like your local sports team.
The link between labor and organized crime is an important one but not for the reasons you want people to think.
The link between labor and the mob formed because US corporations had their own private armies that were able to gun people down. The labor movement in the US quickly turned violent and labor needed it's own muscle.
Samsung has become more trendy independent of this trial.
The public is fickle and Samsung is their new fad. This was something that you might have noticed before this judgement was handing down. This influenced my local iFan to defect from iPhone to G3.
Access to a Samsung tablet also helped. That access was enabled by the fact that a smaller Android tablet represents more of an impulse buy. It's something that is cheap enough that someone might buy it just to try it out.
Now the iFan wants a full sized Galaxy Tab and doesn't pay much attention to her iPad anymore.
This sort of thing works differently for different people.
That's why I think of a cheap burger as a perfect storm.
It has all of the refined carbs and zero fiber for the Atkins types and all of that grease and fat for the non-Atkins types. Plus it has a little bit of lactose for the lactose intolerant and some gratuitous trans fat for good measure.
An alternative is for him to get off of his fat ass and burn off the junk food. However, that actually requires work and effort and as such will be the last option that any American suggest.
It's not an easy enough solution. It doesn't shrink wrap well enough.
Moderation helps too.
The problem with pizza is mainly cultural. It is perceived as a binge food. Many people with dire fatness issues binge on junk and then are puzzled why they are medically obese.
Bacon that is a least 50% fat and high in salt. Cheap high fat ground beef. Cheese that is likely Velveeta with trans fat. White bread that will trash your blood sugar levels.
There's pretty much something there to sabotage everyone's digestive system and metabolic balance.
Meanwhile we have a proven design that works at Mach 3.
The point is to use what's proven rather than pin your hopes on something that may never materialize. I never suggested using the Blackbird beyond it's proven performance envelope.
The rounded rectangle patent is indeed bogus and is so bogus that a phone with a slide out keyboard was declared to infringe it.
It boggles the mind...
A bunch of generic things thrown together is at best a weak trademark that perhaps shouldn't even rate being registered. Forget about anything like a patent.
> What was the jury supposed to do other than to return to consider the item later? They had no choice, they HAD to consider it to arrive at a verdict.
They could have done the obvious thing: NOT SKIP IT.
As it stands, it sounds like they glossed over something because it seemed difficult. There is no taking that back. They refused to tackle the task with which they were entrusted head on. That casts doubt on the whole thing.
It's still probably a better starting point than an empty piece of paper and completely unproven technology. It's operational characteristics demonstrate what has already been done with 60s era technology. No flights of fancy required.
It's not unlike recycled 60's rocket tech in this regard.
Meanwhile, our hypersonic missiles can't survive for more than 60 seconds.
The problem with that argument is that Apple devices are no less subsidized than Android devices.
Although Android does have some interesting tablet variations.Whether or not they have an advantage of being "different" or "just cheap" is disputable.
If your Android hardware is newer, it is definitely going to feel "smoother". The fact that you've got a "wild west" situation with vendors and limited forced OS upgrades means you could very likely have better hardware available for Android phones and fewer phones being choked by OS upgrades.
I've seen iPhones hampered by OS upgrades. The fact that Apple phones are "better supported" isn't universally positive. Frequent OS updates are a double edged sword. This is especially true for tech that's still immature and evolving rapidly.
Contemplate "frequent OS updates" with an 80s or 90s PC.
Just writing a simple shell script puts you at risk.
It puts you at risk because there are so many garbage patents out there. Trivial nonsense gets patented and then the proudly ignorant come along and defend that kind of nonsense. It leads to a sort of legal quagmire where you cannot possibly avoid being in violation of someone's bogus patent.
The risk of being sued by some patent troll that is abusing a corrupt system is just the cost of doing business.
I generally hate to give Microsoft any credit but basically this whole mobile nonsense is a scaled down version of what Microsoft was doing with large expensive touch screen surfaces and hybrid laptops.
It seems like during every tech transition we have to endure another set of "with a computer" or "with the internet" generic patents.
Although some are blatant duplication and should be obvious to anyone. The jury foreman's DVR patent is a good example of this.

Consider it a Windows-ism.

It's all about context and not ignoring it.
Yes. This is a defining moment. If we leave things to the corporate shills, then the future will be owned by a single company in a much more destructive manner than what we saw last time with Microsoft.
You don't get a 20 year patent for merely "thinking about something". You actually have to invent something.
Get over it?
You first. Restrict yourself to 20 year old tech. Then get back to us.
In this case your "little guy" would be the jury foreman.

The mob is just the other side of the coin.
It's not about de-installing it, it's about making sure it does or does not run.
Whether or not it contributes to cruft on the disk is fairly unimportant.
My "shitbox" is fine. I can put a new video card into it.
Its my Macs that will have problems with this nonsense. They can't be upgraded.
Newer hardware is likely faster and spiffier.
This is no great revelation.

It's already the fastest plane in the world.

Perhaps it's time to get the SR-71 out of mothballs.
Despite being ancient and retired, it still seems to be the best thing going.
The "it's cheap" argument.
The problem with that argument is that Apple devices are no less subsidized than Android devices.
Although Android does have some interesting tablet variations.Whether or not they have an advantage of being "different" or "just cheap" is disputable.
It depends.
If your Android hardware is newer, it is definitely going to feel "smoother". The fact that you've got a "wild west" situation with vendors and limited forced OS upgrades means you could very likely have better hardware available for Android phones and fewer phones being choked by OS upgrades.
