I was wondering what this had to do with technology but-

Pope Leo XIV’s first Encyclical Letter Magnifica humanitas, on preserving the human person in the age of artificial intelligence

eh, fair enough.

Just watch out, alx driver is notoriously crappy.

Or, it’s really not-

It’s unlikely you’ll kill your SSD unless you’re actively trying to.

Wow, I never thought I’d see the day Australian IT workers would unionise.

The very idea of it was shouted down industry wide years. This is very heartening to see, even if the only reason I’m seeing it is due to strike action.

‘smart cars’?

Gonna have to upgrade JORN again.

Intel could be making money right now, but they refuse to sell the 273PQE to consumers.

AFAIK it’s actually almost all from one district in US- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spruce_Pine_Mining_District

Blast Corps is now a realistic setting

Probably not since I imagine nVidia and AMD will get injunctions to prevent them being sold in the west.

It’s just a roblox clone for kids, since Garry confirmed anything even remotely adult will be banned.

NileRed for software?

The actual story buried at the end of a Sino #1 article-

In the United States, companies like Oregon-based ESS Tech Inc. are already deploying iron flow systems for tech giants like Google.

However, some of these existing designs could struggle with “dendrites” — tiny, needle-like crystals that can short-circuit the battery. The Chinese team believes they have leapfrogged these hurdles by using an alkaline-based chemistry and their new molecular “shield.”

Just like the original plan for Xbox One!

ARM isn’t the reason why it won’t work for long.

It’s cooling, as soon as the phone thermal soaks it’s throttles down - phones can’t have a decent cooling system since they use power (fans EAT power), degrade water resistance and just add weight/bulk that most don’t want in a phone.

The handhelds you’ve listed aren’t phones. They’re handhelds that do in fact have heatsinks - they’ll work fine.

Again this isn’t anything against ARM, it’s the idea that a phone form factor with zero cooling considerations will somehow best a device with those considerations.

For a minute or so anyway, until the SoC overheats and thermal throttles.

You’re going to need a bigger battery and a real heatsink+fan if you want real gaming out of it, at which point it’s going to start getting to Deck size…

Windows

pfft, DOSSHELL is where it’s at.

USA only unfortunately.

Does it have a faster, sleeker looking Dara O’Briain for a logo?

To be fair, ‘PlayStation’ is an American brand now, SIE is headquartered in California.

Switch2 is selling insanely well in Japan as they have their special Japan-only subsidised version. (¥49,980/~USD$313)

Owncast if you’ve got a decent enough internet connection.

Consider- a ‘decent’ 1080p h.265+opus stream will be around 8mbps, if you’ve got 10 devices watching, that’s 80mbps, you’d really want 100mbps+ upstream bandwidth to do that.

If you’re lucky enough to have 1GBPS/1GBPS, then you’re probably fine for a hundred or so devices, if you’re stuck on an asynchronous connection, do consider how much upstream bandwidth you (they) have.

EMIT

Microslop.

Increasingly yes, Unity is spyware and UE5 games all play, look and feel the same.

But let me guess, Ring 0 anti cheats are fine and dandy? (neither are fine)

I wouldn’t consider the main Dragon Quest series to be AAA, let alone the spin-off builders game…

The problem is anything else is extremely expensive for what should be a $1 a year service or you can self host but constantly be chasing domain blocks since your MX isn’t whitelisted and won’t be by the blue chips since you’re not a blue chip corporation.

Probably still sooner than GTA6 on PC.

I wouldn’t say any update.

The game should be fit for purpose, bug fixes should be expected.

New content should not, a ‘roadmap’ should not be expected. But I do expect the game to work.

This isn’t run by Microslop.

Yet.

two instances of Outlook

pst/ost corruption incoming.

Tape width should be in mm, there is no need to use cm.

I know the topic is prices increasing due to scarcity of parts, but Nintendo should have expected exactly that outcome when they started subsidising the Japan-only consoles with higher prices elsewhere…

And generally not very high quality.

Can’t slowly upgrade a PS5 into a PS6 though.

You can on PC.

Third the employees.

Reminder that Skyrim was made with a staff of ~300, that included revamping Gamebryo into Creation.

Devs with ~1000 devs using UE5 - what are the people even doing other than useless meetings?
