    Private servers are what have kept a lot of old MMOs alive, you can't underestimate the passion of gamers for sure. I'm all for this, its one thing to stop giving updates but another thing to shutdown servers to kill the means of playing a game your paid for.

    FOMO is their entire business model. Especially with this push of being a “luxury brand” And for a while people didn’t want to miss out on the latest and greatest because the latest did a better job of meeting their needs. Now? “Yeah I’m good, thanks.” EDIT: tried the tool myself, and literally the only compelling reason for me is the faster chip, I don’t care about the camera stuff. But even then it’s not worth the over $1100 Canadian buckaroos.

    Why? Purely out of curiosity

    This was dead in the water the moment M$ mentioned it would be connected to the Amazon App store. Surprised it lasted this long.

    So basically more dark-pattern type brain hijacking black magic that should be made illegal, got it! And the shitification of reality continues...

    Update != full BIOS / Firmware

    Then Unreal was redeveloped with the UE tournament version of Unreal Engine. While I’m technically wrong it’s also misleading to state that UE is a single-player engine
  8. PocketNerd
    Ummm, you do know that the Unreal engine was born from Unreal Tournament, right? A MULTIPLAYER game?

    Isn't using Petabit instead of Petabyte a bit misleading given that the average user is accustomed to Terabytes, Gigabytes, and Megabytes? Don't get me wrong, 125 - 128 Terabytes (depending on who you ask, apparently) is still massive in terms of consumer-level storage. But this is like saying that something is 10,000,000 cm long when it's just 100 km long in a more sane level of representation at this point. Would still be amazing, just without the needless shock value.

    Except it's not

    So, when are we getting an AI that runs an AI that runs an AI that runs an AI that runs… …for you?
  12. PocketNerd
    One of the neat side effects with today’s storage is that larger capacity tends to equal longer longevity. so even if you didn’t use all of it, having more is still beneficial.

    This was actually one of those "scandals" I never quite understood. Should Apple have better communicated what was going on at the time? Yes. Was it some sort of planned obsolescence conspiracy? No, not really. Smartphone batteries wear down over time, this is an undeniable fact, they are going to have to be replaced eventually.

    NANI?!

    Too small as a single monitor, yes. But great for a dual-monitor setup for productivity.

    Give me 24-inch and I’ll shut up and give them my money.

    This is some black mirror level bullshit.

    I don’t need to have watched it to prove your statement false on a technicality. That said, I have not had the opportunity to watch it. Now if you said that they tested on a 4090 and vram usage was shown to not have been exceeded, then I’d have no issue.
  19. PocketNerd
    And? Unless the 4090 has limitless VRAM then it can still be exceeded. However unlikely it may be.

    Looks like Apple has effectively killed off the 13-inch pro with this announcement, and the death bell has been rung for Intel-based Mac support. Given their focus on getting users to upgrade/switch

    For me it seems like if I try to block the pop-up then the video doesn't load. Like... 0:00 / 0:00

    You forgot another reason for TV ads, for live television they’re often used to swap between sets/segments or give the host and crew a short break.

    Depending on the ad-blocker you use, you may need to update its filters.
  24. PocketNerd
    Cause that’s where these AAA publishers think the industry is headed. remember: “you will own nothing and you will be happy”

    The only reasons I use an ad-blocker are thus: - They break up content to the point it’s a bad viewing/reading experience - They slow down the loading of the website (YouTube is not generally a problem) - There is no security surrounding them and can and will install malware Fix those? Ad blocker is gone. Like this very forum.
