    AlexGoesHigh reacted to leadeater in Unity Introduces New Runtime Fee allowing them to charge per installation beginning in 2024   
    Not once, heck no. But I'd pick a publisher or developer I really hate and reinstall it 10,000 times. I also recommend thousands of other people do the same. I'm sure something will happen lol

    AlexGoesHigh got a reaction from Mark Kaine in Minisforum, maker of SFF PC's, showcases six liter case design that allows a top mounted GPU over it.   
    Like the title reads. Minisforum is showcasing a six liter volumen case design that allows for a GPU to be mounted at the top of the case, like if it were a hat.
     
    A design like this basically allow the user to run any kind of GPU regardless of size including the monster that the RTX 4090 is with ease, and since is just a full length PCIe slot, any other kind of expansion device can be used.
     
    On the other side there's the disadvantage that is gonna be on the exterior of the case directly exposed to the environment (though given there's people running open cases and the more rare wall mounted PC, this shouldn't be to problematic)
     
    And there's the fact that given that this is pretty much a concept, immediately there's things to question, for one Minisforum didn't address how the GPU will be powered and the other is that the slot is the only thing holding the GPU in place, there's not even support braces like test benches or anything, but this isn't a final product anyways so Minisforum should address this issues if they decide to release this to market, right now they are taking feedback on their twitter X post.
     
    As far as spec goes, Minisforum say they are working to support both AMD and Intel platform, on AMD they are using the Ryzen 7045HX and on Intel the latest Raptor Lake HX parts, both are mobile platforms but they're at least the fastest mobile platform of both companies and with unrestrained power and better cooling so performance should be close to desktop parts
     
    My thoughts
    Very promising, that's definitely a way to have a small PC but without the size limits on expansion.

    i still miss their boards, they were ugly AF and sometime the feature set was odd but they were built like tanks, amazing for budget setups.

    AlexGoesHigh reacted to aiwiguna in Any Swift nerds? need help pulling data out of datatask()   
    Your issue is concurrency, you are accessing the weather array in viewDidLoad, numberOfRowsInSection and cellForRowAt function before the datatask finish because the data task is running in background thread.

    Here some change that you need to do to fixed it
    override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() getDataFromAPI(){ weather in switch weather { case .success( let gotWeather): self.weather.append(gotWeather) print(gotWeather) DispatchQueue.main.async { self.latitude.text = String(weather[0].latitude) self.longitude.text = String(weather[0].longitude) self.temperature.text! += String(weather[0].currentWeather.temperature) self.windSpeed.text! += String(weather[0].currentWeather.windspeed) self.windDirection.text! += String(weather[0].currentWeather.windDirection) self.elevation.text! += String(weather[0].elevation) self.table.reloadData() } case .failure( let error): print(error) } } // Do any additional setup after loading the view. table.delegate = self table.dataSource = self } } extension ViewController: UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource { func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int { if weather.count != 0 { return weather[0].hourly.time.count } else { return 0 } } func numberOfSections(in tableView: UITableView) -> Int { return 1 } func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell { let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "cell", for: indexPath) as! WeatherTableViewCell if weather.count != 0 { cell.loadCell(weather: weather[0], arrayIndex: indexPath.item) } return cell } }

    AlexGoesHigh reacted to porina in RTX Video Super Resolution Now Available on Chrome and Edge for RTX 30 and 40 series owners   
    Before anyone asks about Turing (20 series) they're working on it. Apparently 30/40 series are close enough they can release first, but 20 will need different code.
     
    Did some brief testing on my 3070 earlier.
    360p YouTube of real world content (possibly VHS source) upscale to 720p looked like it had a sharpen filter on it but it also enhanced artefacts
    1080p YouTube of real world content upscale to 1440p - no obvious difference
    1080p Twitch gameplay upscale to 1440p - Higher contrast and fine detail UI elements looked much better, like native rendering. Hard to tell if fast moving content changed much if at all.
     
    The video filter seems to take effect if you toggle the checkbox even if you don't hit "Apply", so you can easily turn it on and off to see the difference in real time. You still have to hit "Apply" to save it. I can't say I noticed any difference between Quality setting 1 and 4 in the testing so far. GPU power consumption (TBP) playing a video was low 20W with it off, around 40W with it on. No major increases in activity visible in GPU-Z.

    AlexGoesHigh got a reaction from jagdtigger in Returnal coming to PC but Sony recommends 32GB of RAM   
    My guess is since the game is only on PS5 it was made around the PS5 SSD and the speed of it and instead of using DirectStorage (which could be cause its not easy to make the switch out of the PS5 API or also sheer laziness) they decide to just fuck it and cache the whole job of the PS5 SSD in RAM.

    AlexGoesHigh got a reaction from LAwLz in Arm Changes Business Model – OEM Partners Must Directly License From Arm   
    I bet Samsung must be regretting killing their custom CPU cores now, but to be fair, at that time nobody expected this to happen. Qualcomm meanwhile must be fast tracking the shit out of their nuvia made cores now.
     
    I guess who truly got fucked was mediatek cause at least on their high end chip they still use ARM CPU and GPU design without ever saying a thing about making their own of those two AFAIK.

    Exactly, i hope at some point some other ARM vendors start working with MS so their chips can work with Windows, if Windows ARM dies is all because of Qualcomm.

    For me it's just that it will allow more vendors in the ecosystem, it's good that AMD and Intel compete with each other now but breaking a duopoly is even better.
