Gay can be but it’s not used that way commonly anymore by most people, it’s easier to read the tone than in the past. Still should avoid joking with it without knowing your audience 
 
twink historicaly is rare to be found used in a derogatory manner, because you have to know lgbt culture to know the term and at that point you are unlikely to be homophonic.

It's definitely not a slur or inherently derogatory, but it doesn't seem like something you should call someone who isn't opebly gay nor close to you. 
 
Like, if Riley where to call Linus a "little otter bottom", while it would certainly raise some eyebrows, but wouldn't be derogatory presay. It seems odd to call a tech exec. that same thing.

Did it? I don’t think I’ve ever heard of it being a derogatory term.

Appears Casetify has finally removed the 'inside out' collection from their site, which displays some degree of guilt on their behalf.

more competition = more good. even if it is only in the extremely highest end data-centre hardware

I've been watching too much LTT, I totally thought you were going "you know what isn't hard to keep track of, our sponsor, Pulseway.  Keep track of your network.....".

Yknow just for that I'm firing up more hardware

So many spectrums for me, autism, lgbt, mental health, human... 
 
It's hard to keep track, but you know what isn't hard to keep track of... @TVwazhere and his performance during the event

My 7900XT is struggling with 30°C ambient.

The one thing this forum has taught me, is that if you don’t make the best of the best of the best, then you may as well not even try and just not release anything.

Since when is the 7900 XTX not high end? Sure it's on average 17% slower (depends on games used) but it's also not like there are zero games where the 7900 XTX is not faster. The idea that there can only be one "high end" card is a little silly or that if one company has a bit better card in performance that only they are in the high end too.
 
7900 XTX is high end, it's just not the absolute best and that is fine. Really is a odd way to look at things since we don't do it as much in other areas of our lives and products outside of computer tech.

If I was nvidia, I wouldn't either. Gamers are entitled brats who will never be happy unless they can get a xx90 gpu for $200 and even then still find something to whine about.

yea. no thats crap. 
Its seperate markets and both make money. They are not cannibalizing themselves and the R&D done in one area inform the R&D in the other. Tensor came from VOLTA and now is their main selling feature for DLSS.

They do give a crap, they just are not reliant on it and are not worried about fully sinking from a bad generation. 

Like they now make chips FOR tsmc to speed up design
https://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/nvidia-asml-tsmc-and-synopsys-set-foundation-for-next-generation-chip-manufacturing
Its assists them (and everyone else), and we all know TSMC is willing to spend millions on chips that will simplify their work flow. 

Doesnt mean because of that chip they dont give a crap about their other markets.

141/8 ~= 17 Gamers, 1 GPU? 

Lol

It's like basing productivity performance and quality of a graphic card on how fast that card can run Alan Wake 2. It's irrelevant metric, but it's there.

My only personal memory is from a friend opening it on a school laptop 10 years ago when we were teens and seeing more dicks than in an entire lockeroom all within 5 minutes :D.
 
Glad its gone. Conceptually its nice but people will be people and make shit suck

Omegle was infamously known for this:

But on top of that, omegle was basically known for creeps sending inappropriate photos/video to minors. 
 
To say shutting it down was a good thing, is an understatement. It get's lumped in with chan sites for "do not let your curiosity lead you there."
 

Sure it's sad, but there's a never ending list of pedos on that site and the only way you can really battle it is to shut it down
There were even tiktok channels dedicated to catching them (Childprotector is one of them)

Actually, some spam websites like those citation machines use up to 1.1gb for one tab (ask me how I know...)
Apple also relies heavily on swap memory, using the SSD as slow RAM constantly. I am currently at 6.27 GB of RAM used with 4 chrome tabs and one safari tab open. 1.47 gb of that is cached, 583.3 mb is using swap.

Its quite efficient in memory allocation which is why 8GB is fine for even light professional use. I think most reviewers will be biased towards the higher end of use case since they're likely all handling 4K raw or higher video in editing software. That for sure should require 16GB, but I haven't seen any data to support that. That seems obvious to me though.

The testing I've done with several M1 Mac Minis and an Air M1, even in a professional environment with Adobe CC, didn't run into issues with 8GB. I can't speak for Premiere though since we don't use that product. Even the base M1 Mac Mini was faster than one of our Graphic Designer's 2018 i7 32GB model in Indesign (subjectively speaking). Still having ~3GB remaining while having many background applications opened, including other professional software.
 
I would say "Apple wouldn't sell an 8GB model if it had problems", but that would be ignorant to Apple's past habits regarding hardware choices and a general lack of practical design.

I'm not familiar with the game but on first look it is a rather basic RT implementation. RT isn't a single thing that is on or off, but there's a load of things to tweak: shadows, reflections, global illumination, path tracing, ambient occlusion, and probably a ton more I don't know about.
 
I don't know how many of those Doom Eternal implement, but the reflections which are promoted by nvidia aren't even a full implementation, it's a hybrid with screen space reflections.
https://www.nvidia.com/en-gb/geforce/news/doom-eternal-ray-tracing-nvidia-dlss-upgrade-available-now/
 
Games like CP2077 Overdrive and AW2 throw pretty much the whole RT toolbox at it and the lighting in those are about as good as it gets in the current state of the art.

Doom is a good example for a game that looks pretty good and performs well. But it's obviously an outlier, not the norm, since no other game franchise has been able to reproduce this balance.  Probably the main reason why no one else can do it is because the id tech 7 engine is completely poprietary, so not available to other developers. The engine is what lay out the groundwork and is one of the most significant factors in game development. And the engine is developed and optimized specifically for ONE SINGLE game. That's obviously not applicable to the whole industry.

This extension of support is a direct result of the pressure from the Right to Repair movement. If they are only doing it for their public image, that's good because it specifically means we are successfully putting the pressure on them. That is a significant improvement over the prior situation of them not caring at all.
 
We take a step forward and you're outraged we didn't take an enormous leap
