You can provide the updates via f-froid and github. So that’s a non-issue.

Why would google be responsible for this?

Those two things have nothing to do with each other but ok

Nice b8

“up to 144hz”? What? Why would they put an fps cap?

Lemmy is getting most of its contributions from people that migrated from Reddit. Reddit had (and has) tons of more content people still came here looking for a better alternative.

Hopefully you can now see the similarity.

This is very ironic coming from someone using Lemmy.

So? Every platform starts at 0%.

No. You can’t game on it meaning that the games do not even launch.

I don’t think your experience is representative of a generic user. This video from Level1Techs paints a completely different picture. Gaming for example, is pretty much out of the picture in the ARM version of Windows.

Does it? All of the “windows on arm” video I’ve seen say that tons of things are broken.

I did (and do) have the families beta on. Maybe that’s the way it worked for some people? I don’t know, but it certainly is what happened in my case.

It actually is how it worked in the beta at least. I’ve been using it for several months with my friends and the invite wouldn’t work unless I had logged into steam on their pc previously.

You’re confusing changing the priority of the inputs with creating them. Not the same thing.

In my opinion this should be implemeted on a OS level for all to use

Tons of keyboard/mice features are applied per device. If you want to do this on yours, it’s free. Look it up.

There’s no barrier for entry and it makes the gameplay quicker. There are no downsides here, this feels like plain gatekeeping.

The game is coded to not allow you to strafe while pressing both side buttons

The way this feature works has nothing to do with how the game is coded and no, cs does not explicitly try to prevent you from doing this. If it does, please show me your source.

If they actually wanted to do that, they could also add a minimum delay between the inputs and not ban anyone.

Allowing hardware to change how a character behaves lowers the skill ceiling.

Lowers the skill ceiling to strafe but strafing isn’t something that everyone does. Considering that it makes you harder to hit, and shooting IS something everyone does, it means that everyone has to improve their tracking skills.

Still a closer analogy than “are they gonna ban low latency peripherals.” Genuinely baffling how you came to that conclusion.

If that baffles you, it means you didn’t give it much thought. Lower latency benefits people with better reflexes. If you have a mouse that has a high latency and I a keyboard that has very low latency, that means I can avoid more of your shots.

The super light mouse doesn’t move itself.

These keyboards also don’t move your character on their own. They simply allow you to react faster by not requiring you to fully depress the key before the other input is accepted. This is simillar to banning n-key rollover if something like 4-key rollover was the norm. It’s an improvement on movement and raises the skill ceiling.

To top it all off, this feature is not hardware restricted. Unlike wooting’s other things like setting the key depress distance, which you can do because they have optical switches.

Imagine if you had a mouse that stopped moving when your crosshair passed over an enemy. Is that acceptable?

No. But that example is also nothing like the feature being discussed here. Are you sure you understand what this does?

Almost as if it was a looter shooter. Oh wait…

Are you going to ban mice that are too light? How about super low latency peripherals? Are monitors next? Is there a limit for the specs on those?

I really can’t see how this makes sense for you.

That kinda makes it not very portable. However, it’s true that you can get short high capacity drives. They’re just a bit harder to find.

For example? I mean, it is expensive but there are literally no other phones with the same chipset, an sd card slot and a headphone jack. Vote with your wallet, etc.

Tbf, I also got it for about $600 so in my case it wasn’t that expensive.
