Until recently they were recommending Intel CPUs over AMD at the low end, saying they provided better value for money in that segment. And they used to recommend Intel processors for gaming, back when they had the gaming crown.

As someone from a not-US country, I’m always amazed at how right wing the US “liberal” policies are. If Biden was our PM he’d be more right wing than our most recent conservative PM.

I think about 18 billion of that was me

Lithium is used in grid storage:

• Hawaii
• Ventura County
• Collie
• Hornsdale
• Bouldercombe
• Geelong

And that’s just what I could find in a couple of minutes.

They’re meant to survive an order of magnitude more cycles than Li-ion. But I’m containing my enthusiasm until we see them lasting a long time in real life use.

They’re meant to have a much wider temperature range than Li-ion, theoretically.

That’s just how good you are.

It seems like the sequel was doomed anyway - the videos I saw seemed directionless and didn’t capture the charm of the original at all.

Well it’s not really a gun game. So not guns.

If you go into this game for the gun combat you’re probably playing the wrong game.

It’s probably been in development since 2009 when it was cutting edge.

Even if that’s true AI isn’t just LLMs. Saying that all AI is a surveillance technology is just stupid from a technical standpoint - you can train AIs on whatever data you like and it doesn’t have to be surveilled data. Adding to that there are plenty of non-LLM AI technologies that have nothing to do with data gathered by surveillance.

Godot has C# as an option.

When does it stop being “malware-like” and end up being just malware?

It’s not especially violent unless you’re concerned about violence against robot dinosaurs. There are however some times when the protagonist kills bad guys but I think that’s true of most games.

Horizon: Zero Dawn would be an excellent choice.

I’m fine with paying for a service I like and I did subscribe to reddit for many years. But even though I was a subscriber they cut off access to my apps. So screw them.

I understand that nothing’s free so I plan to donate to lemmy.world to help them with their costs.

The ads/subscription support the developer, who works on this as his full time job. This means we get a better app.

That’s the story they’re selling but I don’t think it really holds water. Sure, they’ll have to remove the fitout and upgrade the plumbing and that costs money but no more than anyone would expect when building apartments. Some office buildings won’t be suitable for residential use due to their shape and they obviously won’t be converted but most are suitable and they’ll be fine.

The business lobby pointing at the ones which are unsuitable and saying “but this whole thing is going to be impossible!” looks disingenuous to me. There are plenty of good options and there’s no reason to expect they won’t be converted.

Their wanting you in the office is about control - it’s nothing to do with productivity or any of the other excuses.
