Next you’ll tell me penis enlargement pills don’t work and my Nigerian prince isn’t going to lay me back.

It’s more about manufacturers, they want all new laptops to have a tpm, if those mobo/laptop manufacturers want the shiny “compatible with win11” stickers they have to add a tpm.

Relavent xkcd

It would be interesting to break down exactly why they have higher rates. It could be:

• over reliance on it’s automated systems (but FSD is only enabled on a small percentage of cars)
• safety design flaws (but it has a high safety rating by third parties)
• Unconventional UX decisions (steering yoke, giant displays with no physical buttons etc)
• novel behaviour of electric vehicles such as the fact users less familar with it’s acceleration behaviour and lack of gear shifts, the increased weight or one pedal driving. (but why aren’t other EVs up there)
• The politicized nature of Tesla attracting more risky customers. (but is that really worse than the type of people buying ferraris and other performance cars?)

The article points to the first point, and that certainly seems plausible, but they don’t really provide any evidence to support that.

Perhaps my experience is atypical but with the old system I’d have to sign in and reset everything every few months, so that doesn’t really seem very different for me at least. But then again I dont have much if a remote setup anymore.

First game that has convinced me to setup my vr at my new house.

The names aren’t terrible by themselves but it really sucks that the critically acclaimed narrative space puzzler “outerwilds” released the same month as the open world space rpg “outerworlds”.

Imagine an article for TF1:

A valve engineer used Google to find a new matchmaking algorithm for Team fortress and now it’s in the game

I think it’s more that the vast vast majority of people just do not see creating or using an account as a negative.

In 2009 amd, facing insolvency, sold its entire mobile graphics department to qualcomm for a measly 65million that technology went on to become snapdragon. It’s one of the only things that kept amd going at the time, but qualcomm got insanely rich off it.

It’s rather poetic to now see intel face a similar decision. According to the article intel is also planning to spin it’s chip manufacturing out to its own company which is also what amd did with global founderies around the same time as selling to qualcomm.

Facebook market place unfortunately. Or just walking around on garbage day.

Here’s a case + 500w psu I picked up the other day:

(if you already have a case, hdds, psu, and cooling on hand.)

You can also get all of those except the hdds for quite literally 0 dollars, although depending on electricity prices and what upgrading you want to do it might be better long term to spend on the psu.

I mean maybe, it’s just a back of napkin calculation i didnt spend more than a 5s search, think of it as a lower bound I guess. I don’t think my conclusion really changes if it’s 40% vs 20%, point is that it’s more than enough to power peak usage. I tried digging a bit more but couldn’t find anything that contradicted or confirmed it. Here in Canada 1MWh per month is typical for an electrified house (ie electric heating, cooling and stovetop), but our houses are big, our electricity generally cheap and our climate different.

Wikipedia lists avg consumption per capita for China as 5MWh/person/yr, half that of the US, Canada and Australia but that doesn’t take into account household size which imagine is higher in china. Also worth noting China has been adopting evs relatively quick and they generally take a huge amount of power.

I got it from here

So an average Chinese home takes ~1MWh/mo of electricity, they have 100Mwh and they say 300 discharges a year and support 12000 people. So they expect this to cover about a fifth of the energy usage, which seems pretty great.

It’s not common but the pixel 8 has an infrared sensor in the camera that they advertise as being able to measure the temperature of stuff. Apparently it’s fda approved to measure body temperature.

That’s a lot of work on twitches side to keep it hushed which makes this weirder.

I don’t think that’s weird, twitch really doesn’t want the pr of being wrong or having a pedo on their platform, its a lose-lose and I would expect them to try and cover it up regardless.

Crunch is just a reality of any SW released on a schedule. When it’s fairly compensated, relatively rare and still respects the occasional hard no then I don’t think it’s particularly bad. There are times I push for OT in my work so that I can rack up some extra vacation for later in the year when I want it more.

This article is 3 pages stretching out a single sentence quote, we don’t really have enough information to judge in any way.

If this application is legit it’s going to get snatched up by Apple/Amazon/Google to make their voice assistants better, right now they can’t handle cross talk at all.

I’m disappointed. Thirpy is a bit of a killer for me, I think it undermines any competitiveness of the game and frankly just doesn’t feel good in PvP. It also seems to be leaning into the more MOBA side of things. This seems to be the direction a lot of team shooters go, but personally I like the more arena shooter style big fights, I greatly dislike the concept of lanes.

That doesn’t necessarily mean the game won’t be good, but it really doesn’t look like something I personally will enjoy.

Fair enough I thought I was taking crazy pills for a bit there!

I’ll admit I don’t know much about apple products, but I can’t find any reference to a camera on any apple watch. It’s not mentioned on the spec page or in any reviews I can find. It would also make features like remote camera kind of redundant.

Could you show an example of one of these smart watches? I use a garmin vivoactive and it most definitely does not have a camera, and is their premium line. It’s 5 years old now, but the new models don’t have it either.

Most smart watches don’t have cameras so Machine vision-y things.

Obviously the pin is way off from where it would need to be for that to be useful though

Probably bullshui but there’s a 3rd option that they have legal reasons not to operate servers in some of those regions and helldivers was violating those restrictions. It takes more than a week to review the legal code in 180 countries, review the internal policies in place and audit the game for any violations all with the added complexity that arrowhead and sony are independent entities.

The thing with the 3 new countries seems to be a fix by valve, you might notice that there were several invalid country codes in the previous restricted list.

Meta drove me out of vr. Still quite bitter about it.

I genuinely think he’s trying to scuttle the site to hide negative press for him and other billionaires.

Sure he could have just shut it down immediately as he bought it but if he did that, everyone would go to a single alternative, doing it slowly means that the people leaving go to a myriad of smaller (weaker, less likely to survive and less influencial) sites instead.

I’m pretty sure the mtx for dragons dogma are all 1 time dlc bought on the steam page just like the horse Armour.

Isn’t this the same anticheat that just caused that big Apex Hack? Seems like… poor timing

It takes a weekend to setup initially but a radarr/sonarr pipeline is way way easier to use than a sketchy streaming site. Just add the show when you think of it (even if it hasn’t come out yet) and it’ll handle the rest. You can also share instances easily among friends

Do we really need a post for a hotfix that just fixes a few minor bugs?

They don’t have continuous revenue streams like a live service

Yet. The game seems extremely easy to monetize, up to them how evil they go. To be successful longterm (if thats something they even want) they will need to add more content first but they could cash in in so many ways. Dlc, selling servers, cosmetics or more nefarious stuff lkke boosters to speed up mechanics, pals that take huge grinds without payments. It would be very easy to do.

That’s not what the article is claiming though is it. The article is conflating putting a phone display 6in from your face and putting a vr headset on. These are not comparable.

Earlier in the event, Apple showed off a new feature for iPhone and iPad designed to encourage users to move their screens a bit further from their faces to reduce eye strain and the risk of developing nearsightedness — but those concerns appeared to have disappeared by the time the Vision Pro and its two screens directly in front of users’ eyes took the (virtual) stage.

VR and AR headsets use lenses that make the viewing distance equivalent to about 1m.

Wow you weren’t kidding, I didn’t click through. This is straight up spam.

Maybe I’m alone here, but I’d much much rather see 3 posts with a 2 min video on each topic, rather than a 6min round up. Especially when there aren’t any bookmarks or timestamps for each topic.

It’s always been weird to me that when loot box bad articles popped up a few years ago they always used overwatch’s lootboxes, when counterstrike did it first, does it in a more anticonsumer way and makes them cost more. Anyway I like valve on the whole but I do hope governments but an end to the whole child gambling insanity, particularly valves brand of “you can trade all this for real money on an unregulated scam ridden open market” version of it.

People have been looking for Pokémon replacement for years, anything even slightly innovating on the concept is going to do very well. It doesn’t have any microtransactions (yet?), it’s actively improving, has fully animated real time battles, a difficulty/complexity level appropiate for adults, decent coop and a pretty good sense of antiestablishment humour that I think works really well with the type of millennial that is sick of what Pokémon offers.

It is definitely rough, but I haven’t hit a show stopping bug in 13hrs (plenty of stuff like pals clipping through stuff of pathing fucking up though). If it’s kept regularly updated I could see myself putting a lot of hours into it. It’s definitely still an early access title but it’s eating Pokémons stale lunch.

Issa pal
