Nice shots!

For tac sharp photos you need a much faster shutter speed for these erratic guys, at least 1/2000, possibly even faster.

If you try shooting them again maybe up your ISO a little in favor of your shutter speed.

Yeah me too :D I played through the game + DLC two or three times on the PS4. But playing when relaxing in bed is definitely worth it to me!

It runs great for me. Highest settings on my PC run smoothly (I tested on Linux Mint and Windows 11) and I‘m even getting 40-60 fps on my Steam Deck with adaptable resolution enabled.

Hey man thats just rude :(

Kagi is very very nice but at $10 a month it is too expensive for my uses. DuckDuckGo is my alternative when my Kagi subscription of one month runs out.

I bought AirPods Max from Amazon used and they were still tied to the previous owner.

Even though I send receipts and everything to Apple, they said they cannot remove the connection to the previous owner’s account.

Just to keep this in mind, what you said might not work every time.

Yeah but it usually was a „support the dev“ thing.

For example, Apollo (RIP) had an okay icon to begin with, you could choose from a few free ones and if you really liked the app or a specific icon, you could buy it.

They didn’t intentionally make their standard icon shitty to bully you into paying for a decent one

I'd love to get away from Chromium based browsers. At the moment I am using Brave.

Is there any other browser that works on and syncs between: MacOS, iPhone / iPad AND Windows? It also has to have adblock capabilities on all of the devices. FireFox with uBlock Origin would be my first choice but afaik you can't block ads on iPad / iPhone on it.

Any recommendations?

This is kinda true. In my opinion there is no point in locking the fps to 60 when you could also be getting 90 fps on a 120hz screen. Might as well use those frames as long as they come in regular intervals.

The lower the fps / hz the bigger the intervals between frames and refreshes and the more noticeable the stuttering and lag. If you exceed consistent 60 fps it should all feel roughly the same. There is no need to get an expensive 240hz screen to game at 100 - 120fps. 120hz or 144hz is enough for that. (As always depending on what you do with it, a professional CS player might need the higher Hertz)

The refresh rate is the amount of frames your display can show per second. The unit for this is Hertz (hz). This is 60hz on the Steam Deck. This is an engineering thing and there isn’t too much you can do to change this.

The framerate is the amount of frames your graphics card produces per second. The „unit“ her is often fps (frames per second).

You cannot exceed the 60hz limit of the Steam Deck‘s screen since it is a hard limit, you would need to build a new screen into the Deck. So optimally you want your GPU to produce 60 fps or more to use the display to its full extend.

Smoothness is a little harder. You can have a game with 60fps on a 60hz screen that still feels choppy because the timings are misaligned. Imagine your GPU produces 59 frames in half a second and then only 1 in the other half. Your screen would freeze for almost half a second because there is no new frame arriving at the display for half a second. Here you have to look at your frame times. They should be as consistent as possible.

So to sum up: refresh rate = times your monitor can show something new (hard limit)

fps = frames your GPU can produce per second (you can change that via the settings of a game)

frame times = the time a frame „waits“ on your screen. (The shorter and the more consistent, the better)

Sometimes lower fps seem more fluid than higher fps because the fewer frames are arriving more „punctual“.

Thanks a lot! My lens was doing all the hard work for me here.
