Blocking Linux / Steam Deck in Apex Legends led to a 'meaningful reduction' in cheaters
Back in October 2024, Respawn announced they were blocking Apex Legends on Linux platforms (including Steam Deck). Apparently this has worked quite well for them.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)

ArmSoM CM5: Powerful Replacement for Raspberry Pi CM4
ArmSoM's Compute Module 5 is an impactful Rockchip device with impressive hardware specs. And yes, it can support Raspberry Pi IO boards.Abhishek Kumar (It's FOSS)
Unfortunate they named it CM5 when there is already a similar product with that name. That's disingenuous.
Also I question your wording in itsfoss.com/armsom-cm5/#what-aโฆ.
This CM5 produces 39.9% of the throughput of a CM4. That's a fraction, not a difference.
> The gap widens ... leaving the ArmSoM CM5 trailing at 1261 a 76.4% lead.
That's flat out wrong. Are you using an LLM to write articles? If so, you really need to check the work.
itsfoss is losing credibility with me.

Epic Games devs talk about solutions to the Unreal Engine stuttering issues in games
If you've played a game using Unreal Engine, or for that matter any modern game engine, you've likely encountered various forms of stuttering.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
probably the issue is exacerbated by blueprint shaders and other tools that allow creating materials without having to write shader code. They probably end up creating thousands of those shader variations instead of the same shader code for similar materials.
This is probably why UE4 and UE5 are so hit by those issues.

Media Free Diaspora: Make Peace Not Big Yikes
Have CourageโBe Kind
I wrote this 2016 February 05. It still holds!
My position:
* It is better to create allies than to make enemies.
* It is better to educate than to argue.
* If someone is genuinely intractable, do not waste energy on them...just walk away.
* If someone is causing genuine harm, do your best to get out of their way and/or stop them.
I find these are mature skills worth developing. There will be times when I can be tired, stressed, or something is simply a hot button and these points are forgotten. Eventually I recognise that it is time to stop. I apologise if need be. I do my best to learn from the experience and move on. For the last one, it's okay to be scared. Seek help or at least support.

It looks like they lost up to 18% of their playerbase over that time period. If they didn't account for that, then it would be more like 15% less cheaters, which if the numbers are low enough, could be like one guy that was multiboxing and hasn't switched his machines to windows yet
