      I was, honestly, a little underwhelmed with what I’d found so far. (Not watched this one yet)

      Are there any which you recommend?

        Some of the good one are in German. They do have subtitles I think tho or even separate audio tracks. However this year it felt like there were quite a lot in English.

        So far I liked:

        The enshittification talk: https://media.ccc.de/v/39c3-a-post-american-enshittification-resistant-internet

        The Deutschlandticket scam: https://media.ccc.de/v/39c3-all-my-deutschlandtickets-gone-fraud-at-an-industrial-scale

        Hacking washing machines: https://media.ccc.de/v/39c3-hacking-washing-machines

        Zentrum für Politische Schönheit (German protest group) recap: https://media.ccc.de/v/39c3-zps-ein-jahr-adenauer-srp-und-mehr

        Still have a few more on the to-do list (including the one from this post).

    For me this was a very interesting talk to get some understanding of hiw fex works. Interesting for me was this intermediate representation of the x86 code to run their optimization in.

    Also the part about Asahi and hiw they use FEX and how it can be improved was nice.

    I like such short overviews without me needing to dig through all the Documentation.

      Yes, i didn’t touch it yet (also due to lack of ARM Devices lol) but now that i know how it works i’m very curious to see it in action myself.

    Very interesting! I recently started using FEX in GameHub Lite and hadn’t heard of it before (of course I was familiar with Wine, Proton, Box64, etc.) so this is great timing!

    Good presentation without being too technical.

    Great channel overall. I watched this 2 days ago and I’m amazed how linux is retrofiting gaming in all nix forms possible. Great work!
