Most other industries don’t expect millisecond response times.

You take longer than that in an action FPS game, your game is fundamentally broken and unplayable.


I think this is the exact opposite of story mode. Most of the time “Story mode” is extremely easy gameplay so you can just focus on the story.

This is basically “gameplay mode” where you don’t need to pay attention to the story at all or make any story decisions.



Yeah, but they’ve proven cheating pays off. Without it, they would have fallen behind AMD back in 2004 instead of after Zen was released.


Denuvo blames its low reputation on anyone who has experienced its product





Yeah, geekbench has long been known to favor iPhones. Even compared to other mobile SoCs like Qualcomm or MediaTek, it’s… uh… “optimized” for what Apple chips are designed around.

Using it on a desktop for benchmarking is… Even more useless.

On top of that:

  1. The single core number obviously only uses one big core, of which Apple’s chip only has 2.

  2. The score only reflects the maximum burst speed (it’s not expected to sustain that kind of performance for more than 10 seconds. Even using both big cores simultaneously would cut that score short due to overheating.

  3. Desktop cpu has 16 cores that are all identical, and is expected to sustain those workloads indefinitely. Servers and supercomputers run these things 24/7.

  4. The desktop cpu is on an older node as well, inherently less power efficient.

It’s a bit like saying, “for 10 seconds, I can run as fast as the world’s fastest marathon runner TEAM!”. Neat factoid but still incomparable.


Can’t get ad revenue on a short, concise, and helpful page.

Even a basic cookie recipe requires someone’s whole life story to fill in the blank space between 10 ads


It’s pretty obvious why lol.

90% of the calls I receive are spam.

Calling demands that I pick up the phone RIGHT THE FUCK NOW. Bitch, if it ain’t a life threatening emergency I’m not dropping everything I’m working on for you.

Texting allows me to respond when it’s convenient for me.

Text generally takes 3 seconds to get the point across instead of having a whole conversation about it


Glass back is a premium design feature because it breaks easily, and customers who buy premium phones are expected to be rich enough to just buy another phone.

It’s a profit making feature.

Much like luxury cars, nobody actually expects BMW or Mercedes to last more than 3 years. People who buy them are expected to trade up for the latest model every few years.

Same with luxury fashion. Absolutely some of the cheapest and fragile clothing I’ve ever seen come from big fashion brands. And nobody cares, because by the time they break, they’re out of style and the buyer will be updating their wardrobe anyways.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned, expensive luxury items = cheap and breakable. Midrange products are where the customers tend to be concerned with longevity and value.



I would say the opposite.

The chipset is no longer important unless you’re heavily into smartphone games. Even a mid-range chipset from 2 years ago will run standard tasks just fine these days. Smartphone requirements have basically plateaued for a few years now.

Prioritize just about everything OTHER then the chipset, depending on what you really use the phone for. Cameras, battery life, screen quality, memory capacity… Prioritize chipset only if you’re gaming.


Actually apple doesn’t provide any guarantee. They’ve historically supported their devices for a while, but if they choose to cut their support short, it’s entirely within their rights.


mostly seems like a tire issue. These things come with all seasons made for fuel efficiency, not traction.


they aren’t tied to the wheel, just the hubcaps. If you want to run it without the hubcaps, you can put whatever tire you want on it.


Or maybe the fist bit of starcraft before you get into combat.

plays zerg hmmm what did that mean?



Excellent. I’m really just looking for the next StarCraft that won’t be made by Blizzard-Activision


or the story was written out in the booklet that was included in the box…


Yeah, Voodoo back then was super expensive but they were quality at least. High end paint jobs and custom watercooling (in an era when AIO watercoolers didn’t exist). Definitely something to lust after.

Now it’s another crappy name slapped onto a crappy HP


Still, i don’t think it’ll need to get much more complex to be very useful for AI workloads.

People have been discovering that more, and simpler, calculations seem to work better? the trend in AI workloads seems to have gone from FP32 -> FP16 -> INT16 -> INT8 and possibly even INT4?

Seems like just having lots of simple calculations is more efficient/effective than more complex stuff.


Funny thing is that Activision-Blizzard was so bad that many people figured a Microsoft takeover probably couldn’t make it worse…


Yuck. Minimal upgrades from last generation yet they increase the price. Artificially limiting software features to the pro.

And those prices are for 128gb? Just so they can overcharge you for more memory upgrades.



only if you want to render everything you loved and achieved in Chrono Trigger meaningless


honestly i’d be happy with a LN2 superconductor that works for MRI.


I would like to support them, but it is lacking in several features. Kinda wish they would take their modular and user-replaceable components and let us upgrade, like a better camera module for example.

that said, it’s missing the most important thing… Network compatibility.
