    That would help prevent burn in.

    You’d have to have those pixels showing the same color for quite a long time, like months to years. We don’t typically have our phones on that long, and with more modern OS versions, there aren’t really that many things that stay on the screen anyway. What used to be burned in on phones were the navigation bar at the bottom. Gestures are default now. The icons at the top aren’t actually static for long. And phone screens turn off after a few minutes. Dark mode being popular is a big help because the brightness of the screen is a factor. All OLEDs can get burn in, we just don’t have as many of the things that lead to burn in as before, plus a few things here and there meant to help alleviate it.

    I’m away just let the screensaver save my screen?

    Yup.

    In that case why would anyone ever worry about burn it

    Ignorance and the fact that you mostly hear about the people with problems not the ones who just bought their monitors and carried along with their lives.

    Consider that almost everyone worrying about burn in has a phone with an OLED screen, that they’re not worried about. What happened with phones will happen with TVs if they ever get cheap enough to really compete with LCD.




  • Finally, a sane response. Of course they’ll “sound similar” because they’re both female voices attempting to come off as friendly with an American accent.

    I’m more on the side of opposing AI implementations but people are really reaching with this one. I’m assuming it was pulled just so they can get their legal defense in order.

    This will be another case like any other, where they take it to court, and there is no real basis for anything

    Because then they’ll give up whoever it was that they used to voice the AI and it’ll be mostly over. The thing is though that if they rush into a lawsuit too eagerly, nobody’s going to want to work with them under a similar contract.

    Well, they get the snuff out competition and get to hold on to IPs. The thing is though: People are saying that there are good indie games, but I won’t ever hear shit about said games unless I specifically go looking for them, which will almost never happen nowadays.

    Even when I allow ads, game ads are pretty rare. AAA games were almost impossible to miss because there’s always enough buzz, positive or negative, for the big ones.




  • You are implying that you’re for the bans, or at the very least, that they’re reasonable because of some nuance. You literally do that again here in this comment:

    people that comment on this will probably have less information than necessary to make a reasonable argument.

    The default conclusion that most will have is that banning homeless people is a really shitty thing to do. What extra info do we need to reasonably come to the conclusion? Where’s the nuance? I even went and read the first half or so and skimmed the rest(because it seemed repetitive and is more lengthy than I wanted to read) but there’s nothing there that even attempted to change my mind.






  • Basically, it seems to me like the technology in mobile GPUs is crazier than desktop/laptop GPUs.

    It’s not. They have the same software technologies and the desktop counterparts have better hardware.

    but not by enough that it seems to need to be 100x bigger than a mobile GPU.

    Yes it is. No benchmarks would agree with you here. Also, just look at the power draw for each and how much noise each cooling solution makes.

    And top end mobile GPUs actually perform quite admirably when it comes to graphics and power.

    Depends entirely on what you see as admirable. Power efficiency wise, they’re great, but their performance isn’t anything to write home about, especially considering that they typically share cooling solutions with the CPU. And that’s at the top of the line. Lower down, it’s not all that great, with desktop counterparts having much better 1% lows when the power is more comparable.

    So with most of what you said being incorrect, your conclusion is also incorrect. Generally, more surface area on coolers means they can cool higher power limits, can have bigger fans and/or have those fans spin slower so they’re much quieter. Regarding the power consumption, it’s simply diminishing returns. Mobile GPUs are just cut sooner on the graph.




  • I read here recently that the rich people who pay attention to Forbes for investment information avoid all Forbes contributor content and focus only official article from Forbes staff.

    I understand you, but they’re not the ones who matter here tbh; it’s other laymen. I don’t use Forbes, I just know what Forbes is. Looking at that page, I’d have no idea what you’re talking about. The url is Forbes, the author’s name is there, and is labelled as a senior contributor. For most of us: “we hit Forbes boys!”
