Web games moved way beyong these style of games. Complex 3D using three.js and rigid body physics engines in wasm workers like rapier is feasible now. We can do full multiplayer pipelines with server authority, client prediction and reconciliation and still run at 60fps. Its really amazing what can be pressed into a single html these days.

This reminds me of something I read about memristors. Once they get cheap and fast enough to be sold in gb or tb sticks they might replace ram and ssd's/hdd's for some computers. This would allow a computer to boot once (at the factory) and then just return to the state it was when powered on again.

Nobody knows until the real world benchmarks arrive. But this is already a nice indicator for the next gen Ryzen's being powerfull.

The post made it to the frontpage, no surprise new visitors get greeted with "Server busy" now.

There will always be a performance loss unless you go the extra mile and passthrough the gpu. It already works great, but is not a breeze to set up.

Running linux as Host and optionally starting my gaming vm. With KVM and various hardware passthroughs (pci network card, usb devices, gpu, etc.) it is as fast a native installation and sometimes even faster compared to my old bloated windows host. Ofcourse it was not easy to setup and some games needed tweaking (e.g. Just Cause 2 wanted to use unsupported cpu features and therefore needed an extra flag). But if one has the time and patience this is awesome.

Software on Linux is not always better. IntelliJ for example took focus two times on startup for a long time.

And companies.

It wont work with password managers or devices without keyboards. Unless a comma (or other char) separated string form is accepted by the implementation. I could also think of solutions for screen keyboards, but my goal is not to replace normal passwords but rather to offer an alternative where high security is needed and compatibility granted.
