$200 Graphics Cards - Were older cards better? - 2kliksphilip
  • At first I thought this must be obviously bad satire. I thought: “If course newer cards at the same price level aren’t worse than older cards, they are just not as much better as they have been in the past.”, and if you think the same, you may be surprised as well.

  • The Cyber Resilience Act is Worse than I Thought...
  • Every good thing the EU does is stuff which slipped through the cracks of the deeply corrupt officials and their lobbyists overlords. The EU just does so much stuff, that sometimes something slips through before the officials can be bribed to stop it.

  • Linus responds to The Problem with LMG
  • Thank you for your detailed reply! I personally view LMG videos as purely entertaining, they shouldn’t trash other people for data quality or accuracy, since they are rather weak in that field as well. Rather they should focus on entertainment for entertainment’s sake, where they are - at least in my opinion - stronger than a lot of the rest.

  • ARMORED CORE VI PC Specs Revealed
  • This looks in line with ER, I hope they fixed the shader compilation stuttering.

  • Netflix has launched a cloud gaming beta test on TVs, with computers to follow
  • Netflix‘s gaming endeavors seem so half heartedly and bored out of their mind. Like they have the money, they can buy a studio or a publisher or two if they want to get into games. But they only seem to talk about gaming if times are tough (losing subscriber last year, actor-writer strike this year) and forgetting about it as soon as quarterly results are better than expected. And then cloud gaming? Really? If Microsoft cannot do it today without additional latency over consoles, with a steady framerate and without compression artifacts, Netflix won’t fare better and realistically worse. The cloud gaming optimists(!) are expecting USD 17 billion cloud gaming market size by 2028. This is negligible compared to the gaming market at large and will need to be shared by a lot of players. I thought we were over this, when Stadia closed.

  • Which meaningless drama did I miss here?

  • All smartphones, including iPhones, must have replaceable batteries by 2027 in the EU
  • I only remember the Samsung rugged ones, which do not look great. Some compromise will be needed to get removable batteries into phones. Compromises the buyer of a gold iPhone Pro Max to flex their wealth won’t appreciate. Not DRMing batteries and giving users access to documentation and tools for replacing the battery requires almost no compromise from no one (except a tiny dent in Apple‘s balance sheet, which they will recover from, I’m sure).

  • All smartphones, including iPhones, must have replaceable batteries by 2027 in the EU
  • This. People read this and think about the removable batteries of Nokia bricks and plastic hardshells, but this would really hamper with IP68 rating. It probably just means the users must be able to replace the battery themselves, instead of artificially locking it down with DRM. And maybe provide some documentation. Otherwise phones would become so much worse, than they have been for more than a decade.

  • Apparent Images and Specs Of Samsung Headset Prototype Leak
  • I won’t get my hopes up, since VR is all but dead without some VR-first/VR-exclusive AAA games, but maybe, maybe Apple’s Vision Pro, triggered some FOMO somewhere.

  • Sam Raimi's Spider-Man Trilogy: The Most Influential Superhero Films? [43:19]
  • The answer is easy: Yes, yes they are the most influential . Without them, nobody would have considered Superhero movies big business. And Spider-Man Movies are still raking in some of the most predictable numbers, when other heroes have already run out of steam.

  • How did Netflix know I was gay before I did?
  • Has this story ever been confirmed by Target directly? As this happened in America and her father was outraged about it, it would have been awfully convenient, to “blame” the algorithm for “discovering”, she was pregnant. It takes quite a data analyst to figure out trends before someone even knows they are pregnant. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out a pattern for someone if they know they are pregnant and are just hiding it from their dad.

  • Vodafone Finds Brits Keep Mobile Phones for 4 Years Instead of 2
  • Far from it, it their profit is down like a lot.

  • Vodafone Finds Brits Keep Mobile Phones for 4 Years Instead of 2
  • Oh sorry, this wasn’t an iOS-vs-Android dig, all the android manufacturers are constantly near bankruptcy, but apple has shareholders who are expecting growth, they will be hurt the most by consumers holding their on to their phones longer. (Samsung is reporting over 90% profit shrinkage, the Chinese brands are probably just PLA plants to capture as much communication as possible worldwide without a profit motive to begin with)

  • Vodafone Finds Brits Keep Mobile Phones for 4 Years Instead of 2
  • That is going to be a problem for apple, better make the next iPhone’s battery be unreplaceable and self destruct after 2 years.

  • Why are scammers so extra?
  • Definitely by master lock smh

  • ‘Destiny 2’ Players Are Furious About Bungie’s New ‘State Of The Game’ Post
  • I played destiny religiously, did all my weekly stuff, told my wife we couldn’t do anything that evening, since I needed to do something before the reset, things like this. During Witch Queen I fell behind my buddies since I wanted to play the campaign on legendary as we had done during each Halo release, but they didn’t want to, since it wasn’t „economical“ to play it Legendary the first time. This was my wake up call, that something was seriously wrong.

    Since I wasn’t Raid ready in time, I fell off hard as soon as VotD released and didn’t really come back. Paradoxically: Playing Witch Queen‘s campaign on legendary alone or with Randos was the most fun I had with Destiny in ages.

  • Elon Musk’s X can’t send Blue subscribers their ad revenue-sharing payouts on time
  • Oh, I didn’t mean „morally disappointed“, but disappointed in his inability to brutally grow the business instead of wasting his time with petty crimes.
