Can you listen to music or watch a movie while on a discord call using the hands-free microphone in your Bluetooth headset? Full duplex audio still halves the nominal bitrate for both the microphone and media playback audio; same as when the HSP/HFP protocols we’re first showcased in 1999. It’s ridiculous, especially now that very few flagship devices still include a headset jack.

Awesome to hear, and thanks for the citations! Much appreciated.

Besides the number of greater features that sunshine has added, are there any performance benchmarks to compare the two? Like for 4K HDR @ 120Hz in terms of latency or efficiency in the graphics capture pipelines? Always figured Nvidia could be leveraging their proprietary driver APIs more effectively given they can optimize and control the entire graphics pipeline, end to end.

Just like modern cars… I wish there was some kind legislation that would limit phone-home telemetry to emergency service telecommunication frequencies, and be opt-in only. That way any OEM operating under commercial cellular frequencies would thus be unlicensed, and subject to FCC violations and import bans. Like what OnStar was originally pitched as; only auto dialing to 911, and 911 only, if you were unresponsive after airbags deployed. OEM couldn’t use the telecommunication frequencies for anything other than networking with emergency service endpoints on the same VLAN.

Anything recorded by the vehicle would be required to stay on the vehicle due privacy regulations, like the black box recorder for warranted forensic investigations. OTA updates could also be distributed offline for users to download and flash via USB, like any motherboard bios, so transactions would be write only.

What? I’m using neon with Nvidia’s v550 driver right now. I’ll try switching switching to v555 driver as linked in OP via apt once it available through Nvidia’s (compatible) debian repos for Ubuntu.

https://neon.kde.org ? Not sure if it’s received this patch yet, but it ships the latest version of KDE 6.

For the uninitiated:

Are the two Linux devices on the same IP subnet?
Are any of the other KDE connect features working?

I’m surprised I couldn’t yet find a dummy HDMI plug to spoof a 4K@120Hz capable display. All the ones I’ve found thus far only support 120Hz at 1080p, and never any HDR support at all. I have an OLED android device with 2K screen and matching refresh rate, but the without a physical monitor to stream capturing from. Emulating such display resolutions and colored depths also seems just as formidably challenging.

Aside from my PC, the newest device I own is only a snapdragon 8 gen 1 soc device, which I think sadly doesn’t have a hardware AV1 decider. Definitely a consideration for later upgrades.

Any recommendations for fine tuning Sunshine to match Nvidia’s local Gamestream? I haven’t had much luck in getting Sunshine to run as smoothly at 4K 120Hz HDR 150Mbps via LAN as Nvidia’s deprecated streaming server software, so have to slow to migrate over.

On a meta note, I just fell for your community link.

Yep, it was a lot of fun doing out maneuver and dropping spike strips at just the most opportune and inescapable moment. NFS3 also has split screen where players could even play on different sides locally during the dance race, or complete as both cops to catch the most races.

I really appreciate this patch to run NFS3 on modern Windows or Wine:

• Need For Speed III Modern Patch v1.6.1 [2016/10/28] (HD + Widescreen + Portable)
  • https://veg.by/en/projects/nfs3/

The author has sence redacted the torrent link for the original game files bundled with a previous patch, but anyone can just as easily go back through intent archive to find it:

I’d like to see the earlier Hot Pursuit and High Stake releases remastered. I loved those long scenic and rural tracks. I played a lot of NFS3, and then a lot of the 2010 reboot because the graphics where better, but I still miss that retro '90s hypercar aesthetic and soundtrack.

The 2010 NFS HP reboot helped supplement my nostalgia, but sometimes I’d just want to go back to that grippy arcade style of driving dynamics, but with modern graphical realism. E.g like this vision of NFS3 ported to use the Unreal 5 Engine:

It’s like everything cought on fire, everywhere, all at once.

Every house is simultaneously burning still from the inside, even before the roofs are engulfed or the flames and smoke escape the windows. It’s like some wizard cast an magnifying bonfire spell onto every kitchen fire or stove in the town square radius.
