Good. Focus instead of more random apps.

Translation: Nobody used or cared about this useless feature so we're not throwing any more money at it.

On other hand why stream with a GPU app (that never worked fine) when your computer can handle it without this app and better...
You don't miss anything, i have done myself, it was as bad as NVidia's try out 🙂

I'm so tired of everything needing or being an app. It has turned companies lazy, so many companies (especially startups) don't even have real websites anymore, you go there and it's basically just a link to the Google Play Store or the Apple Store. I really wish this push for mobility and convenience would take a step back to the old days when people weren't constantly connected. I get using a mobile app for 2FA and a few other things if needed. With the layoffs and everything going on in tech right now, it's bad for the workers, but I see it as possibility companies might stop pushing so much mobile stuff. If all cellphone networks died right now or social media I wouldn't miss it. There are other ways to get things I need without being constantly connected.

Streaming to my steamdeck over wifi 6 from my mini computer is great. No real input lag at all. Keeps temps down, and battery last 4x longer. I can lounge on my couch while my fiance watches her shows if I dont feel like playing on my main rig. Too say it never worked fine is a crock of bs. Ive been using it since 2013, and now you can use moonlight with sunshine with AMD and not stuck with only nvidia option.
And the amount of ignorance in here about and what they do is staggering. Just wow. Its like raging boomers.

Maybe i should have wrote "an app from a GPU maker"... It's not about streaming, it's about streaming using this app.
Both NVidia and AMD idea about it, don't work fine... But as we have already plenty of solution that are working fine, NVidia and AMD were useless on that point

I actually like that feature. I use it all the time. Kinda sad that they are going to get rid of it..

They're not doing anything. The stock market is not based on common sense. It's more like a herd of kangaroos stalked by a dragon that can turn invisible.

Ai stuff.
Nvidia is still the absolute leader, but the leftovers are still plenty enough.

Well, my nvidia stock went up 54.5% over the same time period, so, I'm equally happy about.
Any fool could've made 10% off stocks last year in the tech industry, but I made an average of 27.1%
When's the last time a bank could offer you 27.1% on your bank deposits?
Srsly guys, talk to your Financial Advisor, the stock market is money for old rope right now.

Yeah but the tech sector is also massively overvalued, especially semiconductors & AI. 90% of these VC funded AI companies will go bankrupt in the next few years. There's also a pretty high degree of risk with China/Taiwan going forward. I think if you're already in and made your $ then you did extremely well.. but buying in now might be a mistake.

I have a magical term for your ears, one that will also raise the eyebrows of your financial advisor and; will let them know you mean business:-
0DTE
AKA: "Zero Days to Expiration Options"
These types of trades are riskier than playing chess with the devil. You get it right, and you can retire tomorrow, get it wrong and you could be looking at a total wipe out of your funds/pension/sanity.
A place to do this from home would be using something like using "IBKR Desktop", but your desktop monitors would look like launch control @ Cape Canaveral.
I say again: talk to a financial advisor, face to face, and let them know what you wanna do; which is basically gamble your entire liquidity, like a degenerate in Las Vegas.
