Which GPU? How many drives?

Put a kill-o-watt meter on it and see what it says for consumption.

I don't know what else you expect me to say.

If Steam declares a game is "unsupported" but it runs perfectly fine, I don't know what other way to describe that than "inaccurate".

Crowdsourcing is obviously far more effective if you simply look at the ratings on SteamDB.

That's what I said

It is native with GrapheneOS. Has been for a long time. Apple probably got the idea from them.

That's great but these things never should have been up for sale in the first place.

If you're just going to either not read or ignore the parent comment, I'm certainly not about to type it out so you can do it all over again. Goodnight.

0.1kWh per hour? Day? Month?

What's in your system?

I did all of that in my parent comment. It's only stupid if the government can prove it's not true, which they can't.

You are criticizing the verification system by comparing it to ProtonDB which, again, is a different thing.

Different in some ways but serves the same purpose.

Steam's verification isn't "inaccurate,"

Yes it is.

Crowdsourcing something like that would not be a good way for Valve to accomplish its goals.

Yes it would.

I just looked into it again out of curiosity. It no longer requires a Google login (nor does it even require Google Play services, because I don't have them. This will probably change once they go paid, which they've apparently rolled back since the iMessage debacle).

It says it supports SMS/RCS, but it actually supports neither. All it does is connect to your Google messages web account. This is an absolute joke for an app that bills itself at the top of it's home page as "all your chats in one app" and it doesn't even support the most common chat method.

As far as I can tell the app is still closed source.

I can't say I've ever cared about how a game looks.

Fair enough. Certainly some devs spend a ton of time making games look incredible so there's obviously a bunch of users like me who do appreciate that, and also many who don't!

These are "desktop environments". They are essentially the graphical elements you interface with the operating system. icons, windows, buttons, those sort of things.

The two most common are KDE and GNOME. KDE has a very Windows-like appearance and functionality. GNOME is the same but for MacOS.
