Live demo sandbox still points to [email protected]

[TimvanScherpenzeel]

Hi @drcmda, I've published NPM version 3.1.0 now that the test suite has been fixed.

Is it possible to update the dependency in the demo sandbox in-place (so that the link stays the same)?

Alternatively users could use https://pmndrs.github.io/detect-gpu/ for now (index.html in the repo).

Oh it appears to have upgraded automatically, please ignore

[drcmda]

@TimvanScherpenzeel ive updated it :-D but change to any box or environment you like, i just threw the codesandbox in there because the original link went to a 404.

still getting tier 1 fallback for the m1, is this due to apple hiding the gpu? is there anything we can do to work around that?

[TimvanScherpenzeel]

Yes that is sadly the case.

Progress for deobfuscating Apple devices is being tracked here: #47 but came across some major roadblocks. Perhaps now that the project has more visibility another attempt can be made.

I've published a patch 3.1.1 which makes sure that if type: "FALLBACK" is rendered the GPU string (both parsed and unparsed) is returned. That way we can more easily catch edge cases.

To get an accurate estimate of which device is being used on a safari browser(ios & MacOS) someone should own a good amount of apple devices and test out the results of the floating precision.

What I'm saying - Unless some crazy person wants to sponsor such thing or some apple fanboy has for some reason a lot of apple devices under their bed, I don't see any time soon getting another solution to this problem of gpus being masked.

[TimvanScherpenzeel]

I agree, I have used Browserstack before (which I have access to through my job, on which you can test with physical devices). I can have a look at what I can do. iOS is significantly more doable to narrow down than desktop.

Another option is to make this use this precision float thingy a widespread thing as I recently noticed that Firefox will disable the vendor/gpu extension for webgl when you have privacy.resistFingerprinting enabled and thus will result in fallback.
