From what I gather you'll want to read into what can be done with microsoft's accessibility hardware. There's the xbox adaptive controller and the recently released announced (and more expensive) proteus xbox controller, either of which should also work fine on pc.

Both amd and intel have cpu's in the pipeline this very year that satisfy the requirements for microsoft-ai branded manure. I.e.: people aren't going to be pushed away. As for linux on arm: I am cautiously optimistic. Seems that lenovo's arm thinkpad (the x13s) is working okey with linux and...

All this multimedia blockchain ai stuff will revolutionize computing, I'm sure.

At the start of the game, as soon as it gives you control, turn around and try going into the "wrong" direction. You'll be blown away.

Given the highly specific language of the press release and the fact that interested devs need to register, I doubt that they are releasing it under an actual open source license. Note also that the word "public" is absent in the press release.

Never doubted its importance. At the moment, however, its computational cost is too high for my taste.

All that graph shows is that the company leadership is good at advertising to investors. I am pretty sure that microsoft leadership does know what it is doing with their business in general. Your additional implied inference that they know what the f they're doing with their gaming division...

The value proposition ceased being a factor for my gaming habits a long time ago. Not because I am stinking rich, but because anything that gets released has to compete for time with my insane backlog. It's fairly ridiculous; anything I pay for now could very well get its first serious looksie...

I can't speak for other raging nerds, but I was never okay with it on android either, over time becoming a dealbreaker. Over a decade ago I made the concession in the name of usability. Now I have had to slowly divest myself of the playstore ecosystem to prepare for a de-google. It's taken me...

It make sense, in a sick sort of way. The new one has more experience running a mobile software company, so knows much better how far the licensing terms for their playable monetization strategies can be pushed.

Not to mention that we're talking about the company that is dark patterning users into upgrading entire operating systems. There will be a strategically placed (as in: where normally a cancel button would be) "no thank you, I would prefer to keep using your creepy ai feature" option when you try...

Then microsoft would chuck ads into at least some paid versions. Dark patterns would be nudging people towards the ad-infected versions so that microsoft can pretend paying customers want ads and put them in all but the most expensive versions. On top of all that, the ad-less versions would be...

Aaaand as predicted, all that fancy ai hardware will be used to process 24hour/day usage for your profile, on device so they can pretend they're fans of "privacy". The only thing that surprises me here is that microsoft beat google to the punch: Source...

Doesn't community investment nearly always "lose money"? Not that well versed in post-warcraft III blizzard, but I always gathered that the main point of their conventions was never the direct profits, but community investment in the literal sense. Which, for an mmo and <spits> live services...

Did I mention before that he's a fucking clown? Why hasn't he been fired yet? Unlike the people he fired, he would do fine in a circus, after all.

Prediction: there will come a day that someone releases a debloater for windows debloating software. If you doubt that debloaters will get bloated: just take a look at the ad-blockers that that let through "approved" ads.

Companies reap what they sow - more often than not the amount of "drama" is proportional to the amount of cow manure in the communications coming from the company in question.

Russia is perfectly capable of setting up a national console + infrastructure, I'm sure. A credible games industry capable of providing quality content, though, would be a different matter altogether.

The recommendation for edge is to only run it if the normal edition doesn't even boot from usb when trying to install it. If, after installing the normal version, you discover that you need a more recent kernel for hardware support, you can install it via mint's update manager and keep the...

Yup. Funny anecdote: ubuntu's software manager comes pre-installed as the snap version. Back when I was still on xubuntu the manager was so slow starting up that by the time one could browse the library I usually had already forgotten what piece of software I wanted to look up. Minty is...

Used to have one of their aluminum cases a few decades ago. Cost was not the problem, the darned thing letting through every tiny bit of noise was. Nowadays that would be less of a problem with ssd's and better airflow-focused cases (allowing for much lower noise fans), but the mesh and...

Recently obtained canon usb scanner and brother network printer. Installation went so smoothly on both my significant other's windows and my linux system that I don't even recall whether I had to install drivers for either of them. I never saw the point of a combined device which often takes up...

That cruft running in the background is, guaranteed, going to be doing something more than sitting quietly at an inopportune moment. Worse offenders are windows update, adobe creative cloud, and any video conferencing/calling software. Seems to be a law of nature that the timing is such that...

I'd go even further: I would prefer steam without the obligatory application entirely. Barring that, a version of the application which runs invisibly in the background or, if it must absolutely intrude, with only the minimal mode. No shop, no social, no shit.

And don't forget to bash on the ads. With amd, even the installer has ads in it. Yuck.

Alternatively, chuck on a wooden panel. Something fractal design would charge you through the nose for.

Why, lol to you, too. I am happy, though befuddled, to have amused you. Back on topic: Quite a few classic emulators can do this nowadays. It's even been integrated into retroarch, if I remember correctly.

? You think that they're going to risk ftc scrutiny by lying about this or you're referring to them interviewing an nvidia engineer suddenly, somehow, making the video sponsored?

Maybe because it isn't sponsored by nvidia at all. Gamersnexus doesn't do sponsored content pieces (of the kind where the entire video's existence is paid for and bought by the sponsor) and doesn't even sell in-video ad space to nvidia (or amd, or intel). Source...

Problem is: will the spreadsheet clowns over at embracer let the devs properly fix those things?

I'm surprised that they are still using a monolithic die for this. Dividing things up along the natural cpu, gpu, ai-processor lines looks, to my admittedly inexpert eyes, to be far less problematic that dividing a cpu or gpu into chiplets. They've been doing it with last year's desktop cpu's...

Aaaand it'll not ship with holoiso after all. As reported by gamingonlinux: Bunch of clowns.

As someone who regularly uses a decade-old dual core laptop, I have definitely noticed youtube getting more bloated in the past year. Not sure if the slowdowns are due to ad-block-blocking or not. Regardless, I have had to switch to the minitube application for a non-manure experience.

From what I gather, many are newly produced cards, but using chips recycled from dedicated mining cards that had no video connectors.

For me, once one gets to non-manure quality in the rest of audio equipment, I greatly prefer a usb DAC. The reason is that I've yet to encounter an internal sound card where all those electromagnetic wave thingies inside the computer don't cause some audible hiss. I'm currently using a fairly...

Have you also tried under-volting? Since you're also restricting the maximum clock, the voltage should be able to go quite a bit lower than with boost clocks enabled, resulting in a tidy improvement in battery life.

Better make sure; a surprising number of (even premium) cases still come with non-pwm fans. Amusingly enough, I've seen quite a number of budget cases that do have em. For example, the montech 903 air (base or max) has been gathering tons of praise lately.

Seems to me that it is discounted primarily to get the game on front pages during the holiday sales rather than the having the lower price generate extra sales. It gets featured with a nice banner and all over at gog, but still drowned out in the winter-sales violence on steam.
