Beatport and Juno are both stores

Damage to what? nVidia’s profits? Let me (badly, I can’t play) play the worlds smallest violin for you.

'ate Beatport

'ate Juno (because both charge extra for wav/aiff/flac)

Love Bandcamp.

It’s a good deal.

RAM can’t be upgraded but Storage absolutely can, it’s just a standard 2280 m.2 drive, you can even chuck a second 2242 drive in if you remove/never had WWAN (LTE/5G modem).

Edit: If you’re using Linux, grab a cheap Intel Optane M10 drive from AliExpress, 16GB drives are <$5 32GB and 64GB are ~$1/GB- they have incredible endurance and 250MB/s Q1T1 random read (better than any consumer NAND ssd…) - perfect for swap partition on a ‘low’ ram machine.

All the more reason to choose a ‘grocer’ you trust rather than a fly-by-night online store.

My grocery store is a monopoly, the products in it aren’t.

I don’t want to shop at 1000 different stores that will all sell my information to brokers. If you do, that’s fine, shopping around gets cheaper prices but you pay with your time.

I’ll keep shopping at the one store.

I’m not sure I’d call MKW ‘solid’ - it’s a got a solid sound track.

The tracks are solid, but you’re effectively not allowed to play them online, you get 2 laps of straight line followed by one single lap of a real track.

Not on steam, not on my radar.

Computer, denoise this nothing until it’s something, I mean create art.

That’s well natured but naive.

Richer ‘working class’ already do shit on the poorer classes, they already punch down with ferocity.

please be nice to the rich ‘working class’ They’re ‘just like you’!

They don’t live week by week, they have thousands to tens of thousands of dollars of disposable income per month.

No, I’m not going to treat them the same as my fellow lower classes.

Boom Boom!

I don’t think PS5 and XSX versions will be affected at all.

But since us on PC have to wait for that release AND the double dip on the PS6/New Xbox - we’re going to waiting until 2030 and beyond now.

Yes.

If a presentation is good, you should be able to glean all the relevant information from the deck alone.

Who wants to listen to an hour of drivel.

UE6 doesn’t exist, it’s ‘UE for Fortnite’ now.

This is one of the areas AI could be used to make things better, but instead we get slop.

Does AI even have nipples it can rub?

Sony doesn’t want a single player or even co-op sequel to an old Macintosh shooter though, they want live service money.

Maybe they’ll finally sell off GlobalFoundries,

Not being able to jump in a first person game.

Are you saying that maybe we shouldn’t be creating the Torment Nexus?

Surprised they (Denuvo, etc - not Valve) don’t just hard require SELinux.

Retail units couldn’t access most of the RSX in OtherOS for Sony reasons, Geohot fixing that was why they killed OtherOS.

Apparently the DOD units never had any lockouts on the GPU.

A PS5 Pro is locked to the PlayStation store, I can’t install my Steam, GOG, Epic, etc games on it.

The games are all more expensive too and you have to rebuy them to get resolution upgrades with newer hardware.

I don’t think it’d be that high, retail prices on similar hardware to the specs is ~USD$700, including a (crappy) case and a (decent) PSU.

I think Valve could get it to $649 without subsidy.

Just due to not having pay as much for the parts, they’d be getting the cpu+gpu directly from AMD as ‘semi-custom’ parts, so there is no Distributor, wholesaler or retailer profits to bundle in, the GPU is on the main board too, so no extra AIB profits to worry about on the GPU.

DRAM will be a ‘fun’ one due to price fluctuations though.

Really depends on how much profit they want to make.

That’s a bit different IIRC, they purchased them directly from Sony and they didn’t have any of the OtherOS hardware lockouts like retail consoles did.

I’m not sure how a company can actually proactively prevent this kind of thing.

By employing people themselves and paying a proper wage.

It’s not hard.

I don’t believe Alberto or Bungie.

He’s a thief.

Boo, part of the reason I liked Thunderbird was that it was free of Microsoft influence.

Now inevitably the client will start making changes that accommodate MS Exchange and AD more than IMAP+LDAP

Wine is not an emulator.

Elon still doesn’t even have a robotaxi service despite promising it a decade ago, yet Waymo are doing freeways now.

Even the tiny Vegas loop is manually driven, despite being mostly through a boring company tunnel.

The niche is already filled by NUC sized PCs from China.

No, the Steam Machine has a CPU and a pcie GPU.

Even if you could argue Raphael was an ‘apu’ since it has the 2CU GPU, those are lasered off on Steam Machine’s CPU.

PCGamer’s advertisers care.

How will Corsair sell $500 cases and $300 water cooling systems, with $600 of attached fans to people just buying a SteamDeck.

PCGamer’s advertisers need the clueless to think that buying all that is essential.

But then how will they be able to afford the cut for Voice Actors!

I think there’s room for scoping down without going that far.

Skyrim was still by a team of ~300 people. There is no reason we can’t still just do that.

HR is great.

MD is half a game, with disjointed quests due to it. It’s sorta funny how the developers made all the Sonic and Knuckles references…
