Whilst this is nice. I’ve had a color ebook reader for maybe four years. It’s not a new technology.

Maybe if they do more layoffs, that’ll solve the problem. Surely, the mass layoffs of the past two years have only been a boon to security

Anything is better than nothing. This is true. But that doesn’t mean you aren’t wasting your time on something that does the bare minimum.

I think we have different definitions of security. Your definition may be more theoretically secure, in your mind, for the novel and interesting solutions. My definition is about a hardened, time-tested solution.

I feel like a lot of this is driven by a bias towards the unknown. You don’t know all the security issues in something new or even something old that doesn’t get the same level of testing as Linux.

I would trust security hardened Linux over all of the suggestions any day of the week. Better the devil you know.

How?

Duolingo keeps doing mass layoffs, so the bird is overworked. You can help him out by switching to a language learning app that actually helps you learn a language instead of endlessly throwing flash cards at you without teaching you anything! Win win.

I really don’t like the conclusions of this at all. People who play new games pick up the game for a month, play it, and move on. It’s okay and a sign of a healthy industry.

People who play these specific games are just playing the one game they play. People aren’t picking new games over old games. The results just have obvious bias that the news organisations are not picking up on

Shy tories will always mitigate the polls. It’s unlikely to be a bloodbath, but the infighting after a loss might be the real killing blow to the party.

This is a good example of how most of the performance improvements during a rewrite into a new language come from the learnings and new codebase, over the languages strengths.

I’m sure they thought it wasn’t a moral panic last time too. You sound the same as the adults when i was a young person. Exactly the same. Everyone here does.

You need to ask questions of yourself, I mean, you can ignore the questions of yourself, but that is heading down the same road, but this time, it’s resulting in actual censorship of the things young people use instead of just a panic.

Again with this, what was it last time. The mobile phones? Then the video Games? Then the movies and the TV? The rock music? The radio?

The people being exploited are the ones who are the victims of this, not people who paid for it.

Ai could be good, great even.

99% of it is being built not to be good, but to replace workers so that corporations can profit more, not to improve anything.

This especially includes all the shitty ai “art”

The software aspect I won’t argue with. But I will go against the chip design. In 2024, most parts of most chips are built from library prefabs, and outside of that, all the efficiencies come from taking advantage of what the chip fab is offering.

That’s why these made up nm numbers are so important. They are effectively marketing and don’t have much basis in reality (euv wavelength is 13nm~, but we’re claiming 6 now) - what they do indicate is improvements in other aspects of lithography.

Apple aren’t the geniuses here, which is why their M chips were bested by intels euv chips as soon as Intel upgraded its fabs to be more advanced than tsmc for six months. It’s all about who’s fsb is running the bleeding edge.

There are so many big budget games out recently that I’m massively backlogged on just 2024 games.

I don’t ascribe to this weirdo youtube fed narrative that everything is bad now, everything is so good right now I’m having an amazing time.

The smartest thing Apple has done in the past decade is buy TSMC a factory. They just gave a TSMC a factory for free, with the deal being they have guaranteed time every year, no fighting.

That’s what let them make their own laptop cpus, time. The M cpus aren’t good because of arm, or apple geniuses, but rather TSMC bleeding edge tech and high yeilds. And of course, every company that didn’t buy TSMC a factory has to fight for time, meaning everyone else loses out.

The costs of being a bleeding edge chip fab make reproducing tsmc elsewhere unattainable.

Frame generation is a thing.

This is like saying new pcs barely have a reason to exist because old pcs can play some new pc games.

There was never any need. All the micro transactions were just time skips for the dumb. The systems are the same dragons dogma systems they had in the first one. They didn’t artificially change things to be grinder. They just put in paid for cheats.

If you want to use them, that’s fine, and certainly, this over paying for it. But people framing this as a need is bad. Which is expected of eurogamers headlines the past few years.
