no, because the tegra x1 was a processor originally designed for nvidia shield tv and jetson developer boards. companies like nintendo for the switch and google for the pixel c tablet, used the tegra x1 as an off the shelf chip, which is why all of the listed devices are suscceptable to the rcm exploit, as they are the same chip.

semi custom means they are key functionality added to the chip from oem designs that fundamentally make it different. e. g valve has zen 2 + rdna 2 igpu instead of the off the shelf zen 3 + rdna 2 option. Sony for example has a memory accelerator on the PS5 to give the PS5 faster data streaming capability than standard designs. and supposedly have a compute block for the PS5 pro supposedly for better resolution scaling and ray tracing than standard amd designs.

Nvidia not doing semi custom is the main reason why Apple stopped using nvidia after the GTX 670 in their imac pro lines in favor of AMD, and for example, why nvidia is very strict on the form factor theor gpus are in (e. g theres a reason why a smaller egpu doesnt really exist much for nvidia gpus, while the AMD option is more common, despite being less bought by consumers)

it mostly improved after tigerlake, but at the time of steam deck taping out designs, intel was still far behind and realistically was not an option. it will down the line given the AI boom has essentially made the igpu a very important piece of hardware, but not when the original deck was designed on paper.

unless intel was going to give valve a really good deal on tigerlake cpus back in 2020, it was not going to happen.

they wouldnt use nvidia because outside of the driver issues, they dont have an x86 license nor nvidia does semi custom designs for clients.

valves only other option is basically Intel, which at the time, didnt have much emphasis in igpu performance to give valve a decent value/performance ratio

i mean if you want chaos, program in whitespace

which sites ask for IDs?

over under, silk song releasing compared to prime 4

i mean you don’t have to pick grass to be the lawn you have, unless you live in a HOA that requires it

and U.S slavery isnt even the biggest portion of slavery, its just the most shown due to hollywood. Slavery elsewhere (carribeans, south america) as a much more brutal and underrepresented portion of history in the Americas.

many dont have a reason to, because enterprise versions of windows is different than the consumer one. Windows isnt a singular OS version.

part of the reason for that iirc is japan has different laws and management when it comes to it.

in context of steam, its usually because japanese managment to launch games on steam is a different person for global organizations, and is usually incompetent. sometimes, the reason is a tually laws about voice/music licensing rights specific to japan

i mean historically, this isnt new. CPUs and GPUs will always introduce some new compute unit thats highly specific workloads using up die space. take cpu examples like AVX2, AVX512 for example, or Aegia Physx hardware, or Nvidias Tensor units to allow for tech like raytracing/upscaling or all hardwares video decoder/encoders.

Companies will push the changes on their hardware regardless, and they will only remove it if it interferes with a core design of a chip (e.g Intel P/E cores disable AVX512 because E cores do not have AVX512 units) or gets i a point that barely anyone uses it.

if you never want to buy into thia kind of tech, then choose to never buy whoever is the most popular cpu/gpu in a market, because people at the top invent new things to further the gap between them and everyone else, as they are usually first and foremost, publically traded companies.

i legit had to search whether whales and dolphins had them, and I’m shocked.

i mean its effe tively what bees do to transport honey, so anyone grossed out by it hasnt thought about how honey is made.

i believe it follows similar laws as water and buoyancy. you slow/stop sinking once the displaced water/force is greater than whats above the sand. Similar to deep eater, panicking only allows you to sink more.

100% of corpses are found with traces of this deadly forever chemical. its the secret big brother doesn’t want you to know about.

it starts to cook based on the percussive force applied at that frequency if the slap is hard enough

using a computer traditionally was seen as a secretary job, so it was often dominated by women. its only as of post consumer computer events where a lot more males went into the field due to the large market it offers came in.

the main selling point of mpchc is madvr. there’s basically no other competitors that utilize the GPU to make the media your watching better on the same level as madvr.

iirc it was yuzu who linked tools to do it, but the application itself didnt do it. Yuzus main problem was often linking to resources and advertising stuff, and partially locking it behind a paywall.

i mean its not like you cant go onto the mobile store and buy games like stardew valley or terraria. its just that pay to play games have taken a back seat due to the profitability of free to play games.
