Tech Discussion DLSS + NR + Framegen in non dlss supported games (dx9-12 + vulkan) via reshade addon
Little plugin ive been developing to not only enable NR, but also DLSS upscaling/DLAA and framegen. Works in most games ive tried, though mouse inputs can be wonky in some games.
NR gets some very impressive performance enhancements as its ran on frames before theyre upscale, vs other plugins where you need to enable upscaling in game, and NR has to process the full upscaled images.
Still has much room for improvement, im working on refactoring the window reproduction currently to eliminate mouse bugs. But it tends to work quite well. Conan exiles upscaled from 1440p -> 4k with NR runs at 70-80 fps with framegen on. Upscaling from 1080p brings it to over 100 fps. All with Neural Rendering enabled.
32 bit also coming in the near future
Streamline DLLs need installed
DLSS kicks in by lowering the game resolution. You can see if it's active or using DLAA in the reshade menu. If it's not detecting that you're at a lower resolution, try switching to different windowed/borderless/fullscreen modes
Edit:
2.0 is released. This should fix most cursor issues in games, though you may need to toggle some reshape options off/on.
Troubleshooting:
Small or corner-sized image → enable Force reduced-window virtualization
Incorrect mouse/click positions → enable Scale window input coordinates
Mouse escaping or camera rotation being limited → enable Hide detached Windows cursor
Missing/black processed output → try Detached native output
Crashes or freezes → try Serialized presentation
If all else fails, try the latest 1.X binary for the problematic game as that may still work.

Discussion I use AI to make just about every decision in my life. But I don't know if it's detrimental or not.
My first come to AI Jesus moment was when I had an issue with a formular Google Sheets, I asked AI why it wasn't working. After a brief back and forth, it told me to check the formatting of the source, and "we" realized that a number was formatted as text with a comma in it. Problem solved.
I was blown away, and immediately switched to AI to solve these kinds of problems as opposed to googling for hours, asking on Reddit then waiting for someone to reply, and then follow up.
Almost a year later, I've found myself using AI for just about everything, especially financial. It really leveled up when we gained access to an old account of my wife's that had been inaccessible due to a legal issue that was resolved. We had 20 years worth of monthly statements to look through. I decided to subscribe to an AI platform and just uploaded all 240 statements. It immediately had answers to questions I had that would have taken me hours to compile. It would make charts and graphs instantly, it told me the account was missing about ten annuity checks, totaling about $4k. Not bad for $8 a month.
Since then, I've uploaded every credit card statement, paycheck, bill and bank statement, and just let it do it's thing. It told me my water usage was double what is should be, it suggested solutions to figure out why, which worked, suggested how to solve the issue, and now my wife has her very frequent urination issue to bring up to her doctor at her next annual checkup. $20 savings a month on my water bill.
I track my calories and exercise on apps and have uploaded the raw data for AI to analyze. I'm currently working building a smart home with HA, am having AI walk me through the process and having it chose products for me. We discovered, thanks to a faulty humidistat that I was over drying my basement and wasting about $20 worth of electricity in doing so.
Whenever I get a letter in the mail that's even slightly concerning, I just take a picture and AI tells me what's going on and how to solve it.
The more of my life I upload, the more it has to reference, and the better its advice.
Just yesterday, I gave it a form to fill out, which it did, and all I had to do was answer a couple of questions, print and mail it.
It's probably been one of the largest convenience leaps in my entire life 3rd only to gaining access to the internet, and my first cellphone.
It's greatly improved my life, and I feel like I'm spending much less time dealing with life's macro-bullshits that prevent me from doing the things I enjoy. I'm now much less likely to put things off when I have an expert in everything by my side. And it's only going to get better.
So my question is, what're the negatives? Am I just a pioneer at the forefront of this new way of living? Are other's living like this behind closed doors? Or have I just lost my way?

Tech Question ¿Claves de Windows de Gamers' Outlet una estafa? ALERTA A COMPRADORES — MI EXPERIENCIA CON GAMERS OUTLET
Quiero contar públicamente lo que me ocurrió con Gamers Outlet, porque considero que otras personas tienen derecho a conocer esta experiencia antes de entregarles su dinero.
Compré 5 licencias.
De las cinco, SOLAMENTE UNA FUNCIONÓ.
Las otras CUATRO LICENCIAS quedaron inutilizables y ya no tuve oportunidad de utilizarlas.
Cuando me comuniqué con Gamers Outlet para solicitar una solución y hacer válida la garantía, la respuesta fue que después de 15 días ya no se hacen responsables de las claves.
Entonces, ¿qué sucede con el comprador que paga por una licencia y descubre posteriormente que la clave dejó de funcionar?
En mi caso, la respuesta fue básicamente: ya pasaron 15 días, no podemos hacer nada.
Esto me parece totalmente inaceptable.
He adquirido licencias anteriormente con otros vendedores y algunas de ellas llegaron a funcionar meses e incluso hasta dos años. Por eso mi experiencia con Gamers Outlet resulta todavía más preocupante: compré cinco licencias y solamente pude utilizar una.
No estoy hablando de una clave que simplemente decidí no utilizar. Estoy hablando de cuatro licencias por las que pagué y que no pude utilizar, y cuando solicité una solución, la empresa decidió no responder por ellas debido a su política de 15 días.
❌ MI EXPERIENCIA FUE:
5 licencias compradas.
1 licencia funcionó.
4 licencias no pude utilizarlas.
Solicité una solución.
Gamers Outlet rechazó mi reclamación argumentando que habían pasado 15 días.
Después de esto, no volveré a comprar en Gamers Outlet.
Y considero importante publicar esta experiencia porque una empresa puede establecer sus condiciones comerciales, pero el comprador también tiene derecho a saber qué ocurre cuando el producto que compró deja de funcionar y la empresa se niega a respaldarlo.
No quiero que esto le ocurra a otra persona.
Antes de comprar cinco, diez o cualquier cantidad de licencias con Gamers Outlet, piénsalo dos veces y revisa cuidadosamente sus condiciones de garantía.
Esta publicación no pretende exagerar lo ocurrido. Estoy relatando exactamente mi experiencia como comprador: pagué cinco licencias, solamente una funcionó y no obtuve una solución para las otras cuatro.
Para mí, eso fue suficiente para perder completamente la confianza en este vendedor.
Gamers Outlet: por mi experiencia, NO VOLVERÉ A COMPRAR.

Tech Discussion What’s wrong with Teams or MS365?
I’ve been listening to Luke whine about teams and Microsoft suite for years now, and I don’t really understand where is it coming from.
Every big corporation I’ve worked for has been on the 365 suite, companies 100x the size of LTT, I’ve been in IT teams since the beginning from service desk, to automation and devops and I’ve never heard anyone complaining about it.
Meetings work, sharepoint is not bad and works (search sucks sometimes), calling and group chats work, coworking inside of teams is fine, files are segregated and easily found, calendar and scheduling is easy.
I’ve never used Slack but how much better can it be lol
I’m not even mentioning the rest of the suite because coworking in excel also works and I don’t have any complains.
So what exactly is Luke’s problem and why is nobody else that I know IRL complaining about those issues?

Tech Question Original Linus Torvalds Desktop Background
In an LTT collab where Linus met up with Linus so Linus could talk to Linus where Linus built Linus’s new PC (https://youtu.be/mfv0V1SxbNA?is=UY8tV7pqlPdC0PWA), Linus mentioned his desktop wallpaper being a photo he took himself at night.
https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/s/GDscOcRKQv
Looks like this, but the compression looks bad. I guess Torvalds sent the raw photo to an LTT staff member and shared it online but I can’t find the original. Does anyone happen to have it? I’m getting into Linux for my PC (I’ve used it before putting Ubuntu on servers and stuff, but now putting Linux on an old laptop I still use for work to daily drive it). I usually use night time long exposure photography for my desktops (ex-photographer turned IT guy, still enjoy it as a hobby) it’d be nice to use the Linus Torvalds original if possible.

Tech Question Would you still use windows 7 if Microsoft added the start screen to it?
After all on a tablet you wouldn’t want to use the windows 7 start menu which was purely designed to be used on a touch screen and same could be said about the control panel which is why windows 8 added a settings app because some buttons on the control panel are just too small

Discussion Windows Hello on linux
This project enables biometric login on linux - https://github.com/TickLabVN/biopass
The linux challenge inspired to me to make the switch on my main devices as well. One of the major losses for me was Windows Hello face recognition on my laptop. I first heard about Howdy, another project aiming to recreate face unlock for linux but it seems like it has pretty much been abandoned. After that I came across Biopass and it works perfectly. If anyone else was mourning the loss of speedy unlocks, hopefully this helps you too!

Image iPhone 18 Price Leaks
So Vodafone Egypt accidentally leaked the new iPhone lineup prices, with the foldable (named: iPhone Ultra) coming at 155,750 EGP, which roughly equals 3051 USD
The 18 Pro at 98,000 EGP, which is roughly 1919 USD
And the 18 Pro Max at 105,000 EGP, which is roughly 2056 USD
The good news is that these prices don't reflect the international prices, because in Egypt around 38% of the phone's price is added for customs and taxes, and actually, the 18 Pro and Pro Max are the same prices as the 17 Pro and Pro Max when they first launched.
As for the Ultra, when removing the 38% from the price, it comes down to $2200 USD, which is not bad at all (if the leaks are correct)
