Nowadays I just play something else, so many games out there that work flawlessly (thanks to wine/proton). I also did virtualization successfully for some time but it can take a while to get it right. The best and simplest solution is to get a separate SSD just for windows and dual boot.

Not really, AMD's FSR upscaling can increase visual quality/fidelity while using less power than rendering at full resolution. This can be easily seen in Steam Deck's battery life improvement when enabling it. Scaling this to millions of devices can indeed reduce energy usage.

When you read about "AI power consumption", its mostly about training the models, not as much the usage after it's trained.

I'm not familiar with how much power the window AC units use, but wouldn't a DC to AC inverter work to power it? It would reduce the redneck factor by at least half though....

What it needs is to allow Linux players. It works fine with Proton, the anti-cheat just kicks you out. And as much as I would love to go back playing it, I wont use windows for it.

Make sure to enable hardware virtualization on your BIOS/UEFI, and install guest additions.

My story will keep you in the edge of your seat!

Started playing WoW TBC, wanted a cool name for my night elf rogue so found this one on one of those random name generators and just kept using it... :)

The issue that everybody seems to forget is that orcas are not damaging/sinking those > 50m yachts from millionaires, they are targeting smaller sailing boats (still called yachts), most of them from your average Joe who just wants to chill under sail, like me. Now I get very nervous every time I go to sea because of the attacks near the shore.

So if indeed orcas are "rebelling", it's the people who have nothing to do with the issue that are paying, as usual.

Sorry for the rant.
