The best solution is for Microsoft and Khronos Group to step in and put upscaling in DirectX and Vulkan, just like they did with ray tracing.

I think AMD is worried that DLSS will become the next CUDA. Most devs don't support OpenCL because CUDA runs faster and Nvidia has the highest market share. It's been speculated that Nvidia is artificially reducing OpenCL performance in the driver, so they might also try to artificially reduce FSR performance, but they won't if most games end up using FSR. As for the rumors that FSR 3 will be exclusive to Radeon, AMD probably wants to do it, but right now their market share is too low for that to not backfire.

Then maybe the government should tell Google, Apple and Microsoft to make parental controls easier to use. There should be an option to just block all social media, or block all known porn sites, without the parent having to input every website by hand.

I think the actual problem is that most parents have never heard of parental controls. Only the tech savvy know about parental controls. Maybe the manufacturers should put information about parental controls on the boxes of every phone, tablet and computer. It doesn't even have to be everything on the box. Just a "Scan this QR code to learn how to protect your child online" would be enough.

Not everything. Without a zip TLD, an automatic hyperlinker won't convert example.zip to a link, but you can still have example.com/index.zip as a webpage instead of a zip file. I forgot about automatic hyperlinkers.

If you want to host a website called example.com with Apache, the default URL is example.com/index.php, but you can change it to be example.com/index.aspx (make it look like you're using IIS) or example.com/index.html or example.com/index or just example.com or even example.com/index.zip which will open a webpage instead of downloading a file. (and it's more effective, since it looks more legitimate than example.zip) This scam was already possible without a TLD, but for some reason scammers didn't think to do this. I think somebody at Google noticed this and decided to get scammers to buy new domains from them before they realize they can just change the file extension for free on their existing domains instead. I think Google scammed the scammers.

Does it have a BIOS screen? Can you boot from a thumb drive and do a fresh Windows install just like on x86? I'm asking because you can't do that on the Surface RT.

But what about the games? I know there are some games with Nvidia proprietary tech, but if you're using Radeon, those games should still run with those effects either disabled or running on the CPU (meaning lower performance, but should still run).

What happened with the 5700 XT? Are AMD drivers that bad?

No they didn't. There's a warning saying that you shouldn't use it, but it's still there. Also, the option in the Windows Settings app isn't new. It's been there since 2018.

I didn't set which program uses which GPU in the Windows Settings app and everything still runs like it should: video games on Nvidia and everything else on Intel. I think that if you don't set it in the Settings app, then it still uses driver setting.

Me neither, which is why I watch movies on my PC.

Google has direct access to your Android phone.

Cracked executables. That's what I used when Windows 10 broke disc based DRM. There are other, more important problems, like not being able to use 3rd party antivirus and firewall, or data recovery programs.

I have used Linux. My main complaints are: - Except for GPU and printer drivers, most drivers are not available as kernel modules, so you can't just install them like on Windows, you instead have to wait for kernel updates to add the latest drivers. - Shitty backwards compatibility. The Steam runtime does help with running older applications, but drivers are a different story. If kernel modules are not updated, they'll just stop working, and no, DKMS is not good enough. Recompiling only helps with ABI changes, not API changes. Recompiling a kernel module helps for a while, until it doesn't. - The directory hierarchy is unintuitive. (I know it's a minor nitpick, but I just can't get over how retarded it is, especially how partitions are mounted, or how all executables are are put in the bin directory, instead of each application having it's own directory with all its files like on Windows) - Random configuration issues. One time I installed Ubuntu on a laptop, and whenever I shut it down, I couldn't power it back again, unless I unplugged the AC adapter and the battery, waited a while, and then plug them back in. I tried googling and didn't find anything. This never happened when shutting down from Windows. Open the Group Policy Editor go to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update and search for Configure Automatic Updates. This one was on the first page on the google search.
