The 7G4 is on par in speed with the 888, but it uses a lot less power. And with decent software updates, a Snapdragon 820 is still fast enough for most people (including me).

And even with a perfect capture of a tape that somehow hasn’t aged, VHS quality is still crap compared to even DVD, let alone HD formats.

Or Debian. It still supports MIPS64 officially and 68K unofficially. x86 isn’t going anywhere for a long time.

I think keeps might be a better verb.

Absolutely not! There are also pedophiles. According to some normal streamers I watch on other platforms, creating child pornography live on Kick by streaming Omegle clones and trying to bully children into undressing was a fairly common activity.

Because dating apps need lots of users, so they kind of have to be free, but they also cycle through users quickly if they work well. This makes it hard to turn a profit. Capitalism then makes sure that they either cease to exist or get enshittified.

1. You’d presumably do it as 2.0, but I used 1.1 for the numbers just to demonstrate that you can definitely fit 8 controllers into a packet even if you go for unreasonable levels of backwards compatibility.
2. Without a hub, I’m not aware of a way to exceed 8 axes per HID device (7 in Windows for some reason). Each Xbox controller has six, so even two controllers can’t be one device.
3. As far as I can find, most USB 2 implementations can take up to 1000 packets per second per root hub, regardless of packet size. I was already assuming one controller poll per packet for the hub version, and that’s 125Hz per controller with all eight.
4. You aren’t actually pressing buttons at 125Hz, no. However, if your input is barely too late for one 125Hz poll, you can get enough delay to be noticeable in fast-paced games. Most controllers and mice use 1kHz for this reason, with some even supporting up to 8kHz if your USB implementation supports it (which apparently is pretty common with xHCI, but Microsoft didn’t want to rely on that for obvious reasons).

Well, yeah, obviously it can be done. What’s the latency, though? A hub’s muxing alternates between packets from different devices, but even USB 1.1 has 64B packets, leaving 64b per controller if you report them all in one packet. That’s 15 digital buttons, 6b per axis, and 13b left over for routing.

However, I can’t think of a way to get the computer to decode one 64B packet into eight separate HID polls without a custom driver. If you use a hub, you’re limited to 8kHz total by the spec, but many EHCI controllers limit that to 1kHz. 125Hz per player is not great.

I can’t confirm that this is the reason or that there isn’t a different way around the restriction, but it seems likely from what I know of USB hubs.

TL;DR: with a custom driver, you can report all controllers on all USB polls rather than each taking up a whole interval, giving you 8x the polling rate compared to an emulated hub with 8 standard HIDs.

The 8bitdo version is easier to implement because it’s one dongle per controller. The Xbox dongle supports eight controllers per dongle. This complicates things; I assume they didn’t want to emulate an eight-port USB hub on the dongle.

You can use BT, but there’s a reason 8bitdo has a dongle as well: BT has worse latency, I assume due to protocol overhead.

And at least Xbox controllers are cross-compatible. You can’t use a DS4 on a PS5, even if you’re playing a PS4 game.

I was getting terrible and inconsistent input lag with an XSX controller. Something about it not correctly reporting its polling rate over BT. Switching to the dongle fixed it.

Glad yours works, but not everyone is so lucky.

If you invest in this, you should have all of your money confiscated for your own good.

I’m a software engineer without a degree, so I might have to consider finishing it with some questionably-ethical assistance. I can already do the job, but I don’t have an expensive piece of paper certifying that I can do the job.

Proton won’t run BG3MM for me, so I have to use regular Wine.

Tesla stole $43M from a government subsidy fund by faking thousands of sales.

They tried to, but I think they were caught before they actually got the money.

That being said, if you can’t find a release, the best option is it just to buy a DVD or BlueRay version of it.

And then rip it and upload so that the next person doesn’t have to.

Between my bad Internet connection and my apparent tendency to be the very last person who decides to download any given torrent, I just gave up and paid my private tracker to ignore my seed ratio ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
