    Ze_Mako reacted to Unhelpful in Apple Aims to Refresh Mac Lineup, Introduce Standalone 5K LG Monitor   
    I still don't get the issue. It's still over 700% of the pixels... It's not really misleading in any way.
     
    "5K resolution, which features 700% the pixels found on a standard 1080p display."
     
    Where's the issue in that statement?

    5120x2880 = 14,745,600
    1920x1080 = 2,073,600
     
    14,745,600 / 2,073,600 = 7.11 repeating.
     
    5k is 711% of 1080p. Also known as 7.11x the resolution. 
     
    So... Where is the issue?

    Uncapped games are running at a slightly higher FPS and games that are capped at or targeting 30fps are hitting a solid 30 and are seeing reduced frame tearing. Also, games that use a dynamic resolution are seeing a higher average resolution while keeping the targeted 60fps.

    All good. Just curiosity anyways. Won't be using mine for gaming, have the rig for that. Mostly a glorified Roku

    No, they think so because those like you treat others whose preferences don't align with yours like they are lesser beings and not worthy of your respect.
     
    Let me tell you something. It's not being lazy or unreasonable to not want to learn to use a new platform. You might think so, but considering where your loyalties lie, your opinion isn't exactly unbiased, is it?
     
    Also, your cousin might be somewhat unwilling to accept your views right of the bat because of your know-it-all attitude. "Oh, PC gaming is objectively better in every single way, and anyone who thinks otherwise or games on a console is an idiot plebeian. Let me preach to you the wondrous ways of the true path, pathetic whelp. You need guidance." You basically called him an idiot, and it's kind of a slap in the face to everything he knows from being in the console ecosystem for so long. Oh, and let me guess, you're just gonna say, "Yeah, so what? He just has to accept the facts." But, don't a lot of PC advocates have the same reaction when people talk about even one benefit of Macs over PCs? Perhaps I'm remembering incorrectly, but I recall you having the reaction in the past.
     
    But, don't let me keep you from your little circlejerk. I'm sure you enjoy reveling in your perception of superiority.
     
    If you feel like going all self-righteous on me, don't bother. I have no interest in engaging in an argument with you. Messages like this tend to lose their meaning and impact muddled amongst the pages of useless blabbering. I don't want to say my position is the only right one; I only wish to introduce a different perspective. Back to lurking!

    The PS3 is an odd console considering all the iterations and variations Sony made of it. When I worked at GameStop, which feels like eons ago, we had pages of different model numbers and specifics to help make sure we marked traded-in systems properly.

    lmao, ok now I know you're crazy and don't know what you're talking about.
     
    The XB1S is not using anything close to an underclocked RX 480. It's more in the realm of the RX 470 and RX 460. 
     
    Where I work we have XB1S systems in the building, and I have been using the system before it's announcement. You have no idea what you're talking about. What is your source on the GPUs being the same. As I said, and someone else said well before me, you're thinking of the Scorpio in terms of GPU power.

    I'm assuming you'll be using the Bluetooth in the controller you play games on your PC? If so then there will be no issues. And even if you didn't and you bought one of those silly dongles MS made and synced to that you still won't have any issues.
     
    The controller is able to remember it's host device and only interact with it once synced, even when turning on.

    You are the reason people tend to think of PC people as assholes. There are no calls. There are no complications. It just works. Plain and simple.

    A console is a prebuilt PC with a custom OS and non changeable hardware.

    Blizzard rarely does sales. They have very little reason to.
     
    But as said above, it's already $40 for the standard game which isn't a bad deal at all.

    Ze_Mako reacted to Oshino Shinobu in What does a typical Microsoft or IBM employee do?   
    There's literally hundreds of positions you could have for those companies. With a Cisco certification, you'd likely be doing network technician work, which could involve installing, maintaining and repairing various network elements for the company. (if your postilion is directly related to your certification, that is.)
     
    Positions in them can range from sales to PR to HR to engineering to networking to receptionist. There isn't really a "typical" employee.

    Ah people still haven't understood what apple is trying to do here. It's not some kind of mistake like what samsung did with their S6 by abandoning the SD card slot but a fully intentional decision. They are setting a first stepping stone towards a fully wireless world like how they have done in the past by abandoning the floppy, CD, and now the headphone jack, all of which were and are be criticized for initially but the ultimately moving the industry forward.And Apple knows full well that a laptop like the MacBook isn't fully ready and hence why they still offer the MBPs and MBAs
     
    IMO I think it's a good move as Apple is pretty much like the only company who can force others to move away from industry standard. However I do wish Apple had put an extra USB port on the charger to substitute for the occupied port. And Thunderbolt 3 too, however I think its because Core M doesn't support Thunderbolt natively yet
