  • Steam could build for 64bit

    Steam is doing that, though rather piecemeal. Both their client and runtime are moving towards 64-bit.

    but it won’t help the gigantic amount of games that are 32bit also.

    Doesn’t WINE’s WOW64 implementation solve this? Albeit with a non perfect compatibility.

    because macos bo longer ships with the 32bit libraries needed.

    I have no idea what the MacOS software landscape looks like, but if it uses WINE it might just be its silver bullet? If Steam does move towards 64-bit only, they would want to keep it compatible with Linux, due to their SteamOS ecosystem, and in turn MacOS users could also reap the benefits.




  • [Fun fact to lighten things up: people often call volts “velas” candles here. So e.g. “127V” and “220V” are often called “cem velas” (100 candles) and “duzentas velas” (200 candles) respectively. Confusingly enough some also do it with watts.]

    Never heard this before, brazilian here btw.

    All regular sockets in my city are 220V 60Hz. I think only places like hotels have different voltages.

    Or people who have old houses, 2 pins sockets, and rip apart the ground pin from their 3 pins plugs.

    Yep, my dad can’t stand the ground pin in almost every plug. I had to convince him not to destroy them all.
