Modern, performant computer graphics is an incredibly complex topic full of hacks, workarounds, and edge cases. It’s possible that an update to DirectX/OpenGL/Vulkan caused some edge case interaction between the application and the graphics pipeline to fail somewhere. Updating the GPU driver (mesa, nvidia, amdgpu, or whatever Windows equivalent) could mitigate that failure.
I remember having to update the Nvidia Windows driver when Cyberpunk 2077 was released to fix an issue related to transparent foliage (transparency is always a pain in the ass to deal with).
Other things that have been broken by one update and fixed by new drivers were shadows in Oblivion not rendering and Arkham Asylum crashing at a specific moment if physx was anabled.
That’s always what I thought when they release a new driver for a specific game. I’m like “seriously? Do they check the executable or something?” Yes, yes they do.
I’m a carrier for the US Postal Service. Yes, people actually buy stuff off of Temu. You can always tell it’s from Temu because it looks like a ball of tape. Large ball, small ball…doesn’t matter…it’s Temu.
Chicago dogs are their own thing, though. The rest of the ingredients other than the mustard have a combined flavor profile similar to ketchup: ketchup is basically a poor man Chicago dog.
Also, their poppy sees hot dog buns are a weird pick.
On Windows, a lot of motherboard vendors would ship their own update utility, however the issue is that in 9 out of 10 cases, that utility would also install some useless garbage on the side, and hog the resources, while not really doing anything. In other cases, Windows itself can provide you with updates, for the devices it recognizes
On Windows? I think Nvidia is updated by Windows Update, but you’ll have to manually download the online updater tool for AMD cards. There’s really no good method to automate it on Windows other than clicking on the pop-ups, which I find equally hilarious and embarrassing.
The night before I mix two eggs with a little milk and put it in a microwavable mug. Then microwave it for 30 seconds, stir and repeat twice. It creates a round slab of egg that I put on a piece of buttered toast with ketchup spread on it.
