right, you're comparing the licensed driver (you think intel wrote the windows driver? lmao) with the open-source driver. yes, mesa and the intel driver are slow.

as mentioned, that's because opengl is super hard to make run fast. vulkan can fix a lot of that.

whoever writes the intel windows driver is an idiot, and intel loses interest in supporting their drivers way too soon

except for the part where your computer is doing things your 80s/90s computer just literally could not do.

i know nobody burns cd/dvds anymore, but burning in the mid-late '90s was a pain in the rear end, even with a scsi burner you couldn't do anything else while it was burning.

:iiaca: 10 cheapest cars: Why (almost) nobody buys them

So are you going to complain about Microsoft not making cheap PC hardware also?

because the american cars in that list punish you for buying an economy car. we bought a fiesta s because my wife works for ford and ~support your workplace~ and its terrible.

i thot ppl liked the new fiesta. i thot it was sposed to be good or smth despite being a ford? is this not the case?

everytime i drive it, i hear a disembodied voice say "gently caress you for not wanting to spend $20,000, i am going to punish you". it has a foot tall shifter and no armrests. the engine is lethargic. when you press the dome light button, the whole ceiling assembly flexes, also the dome lights are in the front and don't shine over the seat, so the backseat is pitch black. the door lock button is in the center of the dash, because that is where you reach when you're getting out of the car. also the floor cover in the trunk doesn't reach all the way, so it collapses and stuff migrates on top of the spare tire. the radio is a cut down version of sync, and requires a five step process to listen to something on a usb drive/ipod. you have to repeat the steps everytime you start the car, it will not go back to what it was doing.

its a whole bunch of little things that add up. really ford doesn't know how to build small cars, i don't think any american manufacturer does. i understand, i mean there is no money in it for them. my wife works for ford motor credit, and they don't even bother that much with repossessing non-suvs, they don't get anything for cars at auction.

all economy cars are terrible

the mazda2 is the same platform, yet light years better. ford made a mistake getting rid of their stake in mazda. although they didn't learn a thing from them.

i drove one from arlington to dulles once and the dual-clutch gearbox trolled me, i'm sure i'd have enjoyed one with a Standard Transmission more

no you wouldn't. we have a manual, the shifter is a foot tall, its like the gearbox in a old pickup. you throw the lever, and the engine is near idle once you complete the gear change. only in a pickup you'd have torque.
