I mean, that would work once or twice, but after that I don't think remaining war criminals would agree to the deal, knowing their predecessors were executed.

History is rife with stories about some King/General/Warlord demanding that his princely sons lead their battalions to capture some town and then re-join his larger army. It was common to send a scout or courier to go find the sons for an update, essentially asking "where are you?". If a long siege or other poor conditions delayed one of the princes, then by the time he arrived to the meeting location the father could already be dead, or worse, extremely disappointed.
Ok but was it a true penguin, or a false penguin like all the extant species today?
Ok, glad to be wrong there and more than happy to blame Windows then. I ditched it completely a couple years ago and I've been enjoying Linux gaming ever since.
I don't know the business negotiations of all that. But if you watch the video, Phawx basically uses one single command to lower the wattage on his Windows handheld and instantly triple the expected battery life. The underlying OS clearly supports it. Seems to me like the AMD driver just isn't detecting that the game has light power needs and so isn't throttling like it should.
I'm mildly allergic so yeah they will fuck me up.
If I'm in an enclosed space with one (e.g. car) I'll start a sneezing fit. And I assume if I eat one my mouth will itch or swell (not even gonna attempt it).
This quick video from The Phawx seems to show that the battery performance difference isn't actually inherent to Windows, but rather that the GPU drivers don't throttle down the TDP when they should.
Windows has plenty of other issues but it seems any frustration about this specifically should be pointed at AMD.
lol, totally fair. And fixed. Typed too fast while walking out the door.
Eh, I assume shit like this is made by some unpaid intern, not the main software developers. But yeah it still says something about their adherence to quality.
My sister in law recently quipped that "Trees are a social construct" and at first I thought she was just being glib but now I can't get that statement out of my head.
I once wrote a short paper on rhytons and similar for art history class. The general category is called "plastic" sculpture if anyone is interested. From what I recall they were often used to aerate wine, which was poured through and collected in a wide kylix or similar. This was likely representative of even older traditions of animal sacrifice with the wine substituting for blood, which is why a bull's head is such a common shape for a rhyton. Over time some of them became more complex and ornamental rather than functional, and those are often the most beautiful museum examples.
It was actually a bit difficult to find information at the university library at the time so I had to go to the specific art museum library. And with a quick glance online it appears some of the info out there may be wrong. e.g. Wikipedia says "Rhytons modeled after animals were designed to make it look like the animal was drinking when the vessel was being filled", which doesn't really make any sense for the shape.
