    Taja reacted to Arika in What's a tech term you hate?   
    Bottleneck....because it's the most misused term i see on this forum because people hear the word and a very basic description of it and then immediately feel like they need to make a post here freaking out that their PC is somehow not performing right despite them not having any issues prior to them hearing the word

    Taja reacted to flibberdipper in 60fps please !   
    60FPS for a channel like LTT is hilariously unnecessary. And IIRC they're filming at 8K then scaling to 4K, and getting a camera and storage to film 8K60... And edit 4K60... While keeping the raw files for a while... Yikes Scoob.

    He's just pumping and dumping for his own benefit at this point.  It's becoming a farce.

    Taja reacted to soundlogic in Very cheap, but seems Genuine 144Hz/165Hz for £35.03 Sample on Alibaba   
    Okay, why does this seem genuine? Everything about it looks fake. There's no model number. The description says 'series: for gaming'. It also says-
     
    Display Ratio 16:9, Aspect Ratio 4:3... Claims to have a built-in camera, but I can't see one or connectivity for one anywhere. 
     
    There are two different selection options - screen size says '24' and '27' inch, but model number says '22, 24, 19.5, and 27'. So what would they ship you if you pick 27" screen size and 19" for model number?
     
    Also, Linus isn't going to do an entire video just so one of his subsscribers knows which monitor to buy. If you're that sold on it, buy it and see what you get - these chinese sites like Alibaba and Wish are a lottery.

    Taja reacted to Hairless Monkey Boy in what is worse for the environment? consumerism or using older stuff...   
    It's not really a matter of opinion. Buying new stuff and throwing out the old is very bad. If it can be resold or given away for reuse, that would be better. And recycling it if it can't be reused is okay.
     
    Reduce.
    Reuse.
    Recycle.
     
    In that order.

    Taja reacted to Fasauceome in Shoot myself in my(video card) foot   
    Linus had a lot to say about not being a fanboy for team red or team green.
     
    But I feel that goes both ways. Don't necessarily hate on one company because of the most recent story that paints them in a bad light. AMD and Nvidia have a history of scummy business practices, but at the end of the day, if you're a gamer, you're gonna want one of their graphics cards.
     
    Not to mention, there are much much larger ethical concerns with the nature of the modern gaming and electronics manufacturing, everything from ecological and sustainability concerns to socio-political concerns. It's not really a bad corporation as much as a rotten industry.

    Taja reacted to Darkseth in Will This Rig Need To Be Upgraded to Achieve Cyberpunk 1080p 60fps Ultra   
    Noone knows how "Hardcore" Ultrasettings will be.
    Games are NEVER optimized for Ultra, and the recommended settings aren't usually for Ultra preset either.
     
    But i dare to say: At least at High settings, you will easily get 60 fps lock at 1080p. Ultra MAYBE; maybe not. But visual difference between high and Ultra is usually <1-2%. Especially at only 1080p.
     
    Your GPU is still very fine, and would probably even hit 60 fps at 1440p (Again: High, not always Ultra).
    And your CPU is also perfectly fine. I'm still rocking an i7 6700k with only 4 cores, and no problems yet.
     
     
    My advice: Get the Game, use Ultra, and see how muich fps you get. More than 60? great. Less than 60? Switch single settings down to High, and see how fps changes. Maybe you can find your compromise.
     
    In Witcher 3, most settings didn't impact fps really, comparing High to Ultra.
    However, "Object Distance" alone reduced fps by 20% just from going from High to Ultra. So i left that on High, since i didn't saw an imediate difference.

    With Android you can install Fornite manually by downloading the apk file from Epic website like in launched day, can't do that with iOS. I guess that's why people don't really care, and Google didn't threat to ban Unreal Engine on Android.

    I love low res for small devices, a 1080p phone and a 4k one are literally identical, as we are humans with eyes and not microscopes.

    I think the "problem" with rgb is how it is marketed. Its always rainbow puke and crazy effects, but in reality this is just to showcase what the product can do. The "right" use of rgb should be way less distracting, because you dont want a blinking rainbow next to you when you are looking at the monitor.
     
    That being said, I still prefer no LEDs, with just a few exceptions.

    Taja reacted to Soag in What's the appeal of non-competitive games?   
    I think it's just what you think you enjoy. Especially since you never played those (or ones that are good at it), so how can you really know?
     
    @PopsicleHustler already answered a part of it almost exactly as I would.
    @Crunchy Dragon took care of the other bit.
    Many others gave a lot of good answers as well.
    I will add: imagine something made you furious during the day. Then you come back home and launch some highly competitive PvP title. Let's make it worse, Team PvP, like some moba, CS:GO etc. Tell me, what will happen?
    On the contrary, what would happen if you launched ABZU, for example?
    And now that I look at it, you only mentioned single player/1v1 PvP games/modes. Let that sink in. Reflect on it. What does that tell about yourself? When you come to some conclusion, check out the first question I asked and answer it again.
     
    Oh, and to shake your world a bit as well: going by your logic, there's no point in getting good at the game to beat others as well. Maybe apart from massaging your own ego...
    It's not really replay value that you go for in those games, hope you see that now.
    That. Take a look at this sentence once again and think what it really means. There's nothing more to it than that.
    I bet you get it, especially since you have an anime-like avatar, so I guess you do watch shows. What's the point, you would ask, right?
      
    Notice how you decided to answer the one that's easiest for you to address and left others unmentioned?
    People decide to see what they want to see. It's easier to stay true to your beliefs rather than really question and reevaluate them.
    Try. Notice how there's a lot that holds true in the answers to questions @PopsicleHustler asked.
     
    A whole lot subjective, Vitamanic, wouldn't you say? I'd even go as far as to say narrow-minded.
    People are different. Had different upbringing, environment, life experiences, priorities, desires and we could keep on listing...
    To simply put it: some people need more interaction with humans, others not so much. And either is fine.
    Also: notice how he said he prefers PvP games over single player ones. Isn't it a bit of the opposite (while thinking about someone's character) to prefering to be alone? To prefering a lack of interaction with people?

    Taja got a reaction from Kilrah in Tech Quicke and lies about free Windows   
    Its always fun when someone chooses to defend a multi-billion corporation that thrived using shady strategies, but hates when people use something that is available for free only because it is written somewhere "hey, that is not free for realsies".
     
    Microsoft WANTS people to use windows 10, even if they dont pay. That is why they have it for free on their own website - they want the market share, it is good for their bottom line, and the money they really want is from the OEMs and enterprise. If every user on the planet uses windows, Microsoft will sell tons of licenses for the business that need to buy them. And even some of the free users will end up buying a license, so its a win-win.
     
    I hate to state the obvious, but for some reason this thread has 7 pages?!? So there you go..

    Taja reacted to AngryBeaver in Tech Quicke and lies about free Windows   
    Did you know that while they don't advertise it as free or a trial that microsoft intends it to be used as such. They allow you to use most of windows 10 outside of a few features and a watermark.
     
    They know that keeping you in the microsoft ecosystem is the best move they can make. Sure they might not make money off you right away or even for years, but eventually they will. Be it a full key, a purchase on the store, office products etc.
