I dunno who told you the Wii U was 720p-only. Mine ran at 1080p all day, every day - albeit some games used upscaling to reduce the graphical workload.

I do this all the time. I see so many brainless, low-effort posts all over the internet that I don't want to add to the pollution with anything I'm not confident is either informative or funny.

But I also want Lemmy to grow and thrive, so here I've been making more of an effort to try to finish and post even comments I'm not so certain about. I figure that has to be better for the site than contributing nothing at all.

Nixon died in 1994, so there's that.

I'm not talking about the merits or otherwise of "unified memory", I'm pointing out that because Apple's RAM is physically integrated into the CPU, it can provide more memory bandwidth than regular DDR5 DIMMs.

The LPDDR4X RAM in the Raspberry Pi isn't QUITE the same as the on-die stuff in the M3 processor.

With Apple's chips the RAM is all on the CPU die so both CPU and GPU get the performance benefit. With Intel's, none of it is.

Apple's RAM isn't as cheap as you might think, because it's all built directly onto the CPU die. That's part of what makes its computers so fast.

True that it won't be a quick fix, but at least Keir Starmer seems to want to mend our relationship with the EU, while the Tories are still stuck in deep denial.

That was my immediate guess, but Covid blew up in March, and the Reddit graph doesn't go crazy until a few months later. It is hard to see what else could possibly explain it though; I wouldn't be surprised if there's just an error in the axis labelling or something.

What the hell happened in the second half of 2020?

What makes you say the proposal was unpopular among First Nations people? The few pre-referendum polls of indigenous Australians seemed to indicate that the majority were in favour.

Because he's still working on winning back the trust of the Jewish community.

In the early days they did satirise current issues, but it mostly seemed to be through a lens of 31st-century technology or social conventions. Nowadays, the future setting often just feels like window dressing for a story that's really entirely about the present.

While it's true that the imbeciles in our (UK) government have tried to implicitly outlaw E2EE, there are no restrictions on VPNs here.

It's Amazon, dude. You may not like their business practices but it's a fair bet they're going to have something you want at a decent price.

I came here to post exactly this. IIRC Matthew Smith said his playtesting rule was that, as long as he could successfully complete a room once, no matter how many attempts it took, it went in. Hardly surprising that doing the whole thing, even with infinite lives, was far beyond my eight-year-old self.

I read this article from top to bottom and didn't find a clear explanation of why you should disable this feature.

I'm not going to complain too much about a free update, but it does seem that Sonoma is mostly about updates to Apple's bundled apps (which I don't use), and doesn't do a lot for the OS itself.
