What on earth are you going on about? Some random marketing wank?

Toyota hybrids (and basically ALL hybrids by all companies today) are ALL built on the same patent from 1980s (or early 1990s, IIRC). The patent features an AC-DC converter, two motor generators and and ICE engine with a planetary gearbox acting as a differential between the three. MG1 is on the sun of a planetary gear set, planets spin freely around their axes while they are connected to ICE, and MG2 is connected to outer orbit. Outer orbit is also connected to the wheels.

Literally every hybrid on the market is built off this patent (exception being range extended BEVs sometimes called hybrids, in those you have a gasoline/diesel generator completely disconnected from the drive train simply spinning an inverter to charge the battery).

Primary changes between Toyota's implementation's generations usually involved incremental minor improvements. Things like specifics of the connection from orbit to wheels, extra planetary reduction gear between MG2 and wheels, etc. For example even the gen 5 (IIRC) PHEV variants just increase the power of MG2 so you can reasonably drive in EV mode at higher speeds. They may also have added a clutch between MG2/wheels and orbital output for marginally more efficient EV mode. Never looked into it in more detail, but I can see this being another step if you want long term EV mode, which is what PHEVs are built around.

For all wheel drive, the patent mentions fully drive train disconnected MGR (motor generator rear), which is ran off the battery only. Still works this way in most hybrids, though this is one point of differentiation as some European hybrids have added weird drive shaft implementations for this. Some of them resulted in hilarious lack of reliability.

Total ignorance of hybrid market and auto market in general.

Total ignorance of EV sales. Part of initial ignorance.

Total ignorance of situation in Europe in general when it comes to automotive sector, and politics surrounding it.

At some point normal person would stop and think: "I thought I knew everything relevant to make sweeping arguments. Turned out I was completely wrong. I think it's time I shut up and read up so I'm no longer on the peak of Mount Stupid of Dunning-Kruger effect".

You never did. You just kept making new statements from the same peak. This is why I don't think this will go anywhere, because you're not willing to go down that peak.

Nowadays? Basically never. It's hilariously stable.

Removing advertisements and telemetry requires zero "retraining", because users aren't trained to interact with those elements in any meaningful way in the first place. Telemetry is basically fully hidden unless you're an admin in enterprise. Ads are, well banners and links.

It's worth remembering that "windows 10 is last windows you need to buy" was their long term roadmap when win10 comes out.

Those don't last.

Topic is:

>Games Run Faster On SteamOS Than Windows 11

He's starting out great with Krypto the Super-Dog!

>That's not 'murdering European car manufacturers'.

This is hilarious considering that European manufacturers have been begging and pleading with commission to slow the fuck down because they're dying as a result of its actions for about half a decade at this point.

When you are this fundamentally ignorant of basic situation on the market, and your entire narrative is "BEV are good because they are great and excellent and wonderful and they're making everyone rich, even those flirting with bankruptcy and shutting down factories because of them", I don't think there's a discussion to be had. You have so far engaged in everything from "I don't know how to read statistics, I don't know how to use chatGPT, have some marketing word salad that agrees with you but sounds like it agrees with me", to just plain old moving goalposts.

I don't think we will be able to come to an understanding, because I'm not BEV-religious and generally find technology worship to be cringe-worthy at best. Technology is a tool, not a deity.

They literally did that years into win11 release, after years of reports that same games ran much worse in 11 than on 10. And that literally still doesn't work properly, because that "separate mode" doesn't shut down most of the background processes, it just sorta kinda suspends them and they will still randomly unsuspend at times.

Which is why linux+proton runs windows games better than native 11. But you can in fact get a stripped down version of 11 where all those background processes are actually removed.

Guess what happens when you run games on it?

If you're not skilled enough to not get non-marketing output out of chatGPT, just use google. It still works.

Did you use an EV to tow the goal posts you yourself initially set, or did you find that diesels are still best for heavy duty work?

Catastrophic loss due to the fact that most consumer end software doesn't run on linux. What runs often runs in a way users aren't used to.

And let's not get into "troubleshooting? Just read this manual, then that manual, then these manuals, then use the command line and what you learned from the manuals".

You're comparing apple to a drawing of an apple.

Spec came out in 2019. Monitors that support the spec came our recently, and so did GPUs. But they're already out both. It takes time for spec to mature into proper product (because engineering isn't instant creation into being).

HDMI didn't even have a spec to support this until now. And it will take a while before the spec is implemented as well, because engineering hasn't magically become instant creation into being still.

Decade of linux on desktop is almost upon us!

Sad part is, this nonsense is the result of linux being so utterly uncompetitive on desktop. Microsoft didn't even feel the need to make some kind of a "game mode" that would shut down spyware and other background nonsense when it detects that a game is running, much less actually optimize the OS for performance properly.

You don't. Some massive outdoor displays may need that for making smaller text readable.

But the thing that is actually relevant for consumers is

>supporting uncompressed 4K at 240 Hz with 12-bit color depth

Those monitors already exist, and they use DisplayPort 2.0/2.1 because HDMI doesn't meet their requirements.

This. Of all the marketing wank about 16k, the actually relevant part is this:

>supporting uncompressed 4K at 240 Hz with 12-bit color depth

This is what actually exists, and has been supported by DP since 2019 or so.
