My favorite puzzle game of all time, but it's not really Tetris.

Weird, the K4's latest bios supports Vermeer, but perhaps not the X3D CPUs? But if so, even a 5600 would be an acceptable and pretty cheap upgrade over a 2600.

Which mobo do you have? Most of them got bios updates to support Ryzen 5000, even old B350s and some A320s.

If that's supposed to be a projected image, then it should be washed out af with the room being so lit up. The darkest colors should only be about as dark as the white wall behind it.

AFAIK they're large chips though, and larger generally is more performance but also much more expensive to manufacture.

Wouldn't adding a bunch of extra features to an ARM CPU make it become less power efficient and more like x86?

I've heard that ARM isn't inherently more power efficient in some special way over x86, x86 has just been around so long and has had so many extra instructions added to it over the years, but that's what allows it to do so much / be so performant. If you took an ARM CPU and did the same you'd have roughly the same performance/watt.

How so? You just push the seat back and get out, it'll be about as much of an issue as a normal (very cramped) seat.

One way around it is just to say "I'm from the US". I know it's not quite what you asked but based on what everyone else has said about why we're simply "Americans" then I suggest this as an alternative. Also like they said, referring to yourself by state of residence works too, for instance "Texan" or "Californian" since they're basically just as well known as the US itself at this point.

We don't have sensors to directly sense a single magnetic field, but if you've played with magnets a lot, you can definitely "feel" how their forces work and develop kind of an intuitive physical sense.

Perhaps a good example/analogy of something we can feel and understand somewhat intuitively but actually do not scientifically understand is gravity. You can definitely feel its effects / force, even though you don't have a specific gravitational field sensor in your body per say.

We have very good theories and formulas for calculating gravitational effects, but we still fundamentally do not understand what causes it.

Proper spatial / binaural audio in games is a game changer for me and it's wild that I have to buy something like DTS Sound Unbound (and before that, X-Fi sound card with CMSS3D) just to kind of "emulate" it in games. This is tech they figured out in the 90s.

Steam Deck is also only an 800p screen, so using DLSS/FSR will render the game even lower than that. Basically the upscaling just works better at higher resolutions since it has more data to use. And like you said, definitely better for farther viewing distances too.
