    SADS got a reaction from Taf the Ghost in Sightful Unveils Spacetop, The World’s First Augmented Reality Laptop   
    I actually quite like this idea.
    Even though laptops are generally quite portable, your desk isn't. Being able to have what is essentially a multi-screen desktop, pretty much anywhere you like (bed, living room, office, train, plane etc) seems like a pretty nice thing to have.
     
    I don't wear glasses though, so I don't think I would be too comfortable with this to begin with. But yeh, having a 'no desk office' seems like a nice way to save space and tidy up a bit.
     
    Does feel a bit "plugged into the matrix' though, imagine a whole office of these....

    I guess i also don't know why it has to be so 'laptop shaped'. What's that big chunk on the back for?
    They surely could have built this into a more full-sized keyboard style rather than the crappy compact laptop one?
    Resolution would also be important here.
     
    The more I think about it, the more I think this can be done quite easily with some AR glasses with a keyboard?
    I guess you want the power of a laptop and so need that hardware, but without having to factor in a screen, that form factor actually has much more freedom now...

    I'm far less worried about the "people losing their jobs" thing than I am the "so many people are already being misled online, it's only going to get way worse from here".
     
    Think about how easy its going to be for mass scams getting money from your grandparents... or even yourself in a few years time, as it gets harder and harder to distinguish.
    The sheer volume and apparent realism of fake news from other countries or political parties, swaying voters, potentially radicalizing people in some way, pushing their opinions.
    Scamming lonely people out of their money with fake nudes/chat bots, on a mass scale.
     
    I'm already of the viewpoint that businesses like twitter are working on AI (probably using their existing platforms and data from them), to create better and better bots... and are then charging users to prove that they're not bots.
    And apparently now, still allowing AI/bots to use purchased accounts as well anyway.
     
    Create a problem for the user, charge them for it.
     
    I just can't see how AI is not going to be 99% used for nefarious deeds for humanity over good ones.

    People need to be able to perform their basic functions without having to take their eyes off the road.
    So i kind of agree with Hyundai here and think its a good call!
     
    Infotainment systems are getting more and more distracting. its needs reigning in.
    Even using car play takes a users attention away from the road far too much.

    The problem is that us suckers are still paying the insane retail prices for them.
    The profits are this high, simply because they can just get away with it. Regardless of how much we might complain, if people are still just buying them regardless, then nothing will change... or it will just get worse.

    SADS got a reaction from Hybris5112 in 16 or 24gb ram   
    I think, depending on your setup, using 3 sticks can actually lower performance.
    If your system is running the 2 sticks in dual channel mode (kinda like raid for your RAM), then adding a third stick could disable that and effectively half your bandwidth.
    I use 16GB and don't seem to run into any issues, but as previous post says, it depends if you use it and what you're using the machine for.

    SADS reacted to RejZoR in When 69 is greater than 99 - upcoming Celeron beats 9900K and 10900K in single core benchmarks   
    As Apple would paraphrase it: "Our best processor yet"
     
    To which we all yawn in digust: "No shit Sherlock".
     
    Remember just few years ago where it was natural that brand new mid or even low end stuff beats several years old stuff? Well, apparently these days it's a bragging right. Also for reference, 9900K is now 4 years old. Imagine comparing Pentium 4 from 2000 to first Pentium from 1996 and being shocked that Pentium 4 is hugely faster? That's apparently a thing now. Just like the other news how some laptop Alder Lake beats Threadripper from 5 years ago. Like, lol? It's expected to be that way and doesn't shock me even the slightest. It shocks me when all we get is lame 5 or 10% uplift in performance for a whole new full price...
