14A process ..... wait, why the number 14? I think I've heard that number and intel in the same sentence before.

Now this is what I call real advancement. We better count on Phison to innovate something competitive to counter this. Samsung holds its own against all others. There is still a lot of room left to improve SSD controllers, and until that war is waged, it's time to behold the 10th generation of...

What I see is a FAILED company, Intel, trying to resurrect itself, when the true course of action; the absolute ideal that would lead to a better future, is for someone else to REPLACE Intel fully, and let new blood into the industry. Instead, I guess investors and government want to support...

The repo obliteration aspect is nothing more than evidence concealment. Now we can't track down who pushed what updates and actually installed the backdoor.

What really needs to happen are benchmark tests, including real video games and AI processing, that compare BIOS version 4006 to the latest version, and see if/when any performance drops occur due to a BIOS revision, perhaps something security related.

Russian government in charge of the games. Wow that sure sounds fun for gamers.

Oh come on, I know that. I'm not here to shit on the modder just to be mean, but even so, I'm not going to line up and say the cliche. Someone ought to point out the naked emperor.

This would have been a bit more impressive before 2020, but at this point, I'd rather see an RTX 3090's VRAM doubled. This doesn't produce anything that you can't already buy.

One tech company I've grown to appreciate is Startech.com. They make a lot of stuff that's great for older computers, but they also stay in the modern era too, which keeps them relevant. Two other companies worthy of mention are Syntech and Sintech. Completely different, but both make some...

I didn't mind playing through Fallout 4 recently, but on the other hand, I AM moving to Boston this year, so I just did it for cultural reasons. Temporary move at least. My darkest, saddest prediction is that Bethesda is dead. I saw recently that even Magic The Gathering is doing some Fallout...

Although I'm sure Nvidia is a good stock, my friend ended up investing into Shin Etsu Chemical, due to their upstream utility to everything Nvidia and TSMC does. Doesn't look quite as "fun," but I'm sure there will be no value lost at least.

Back when I used Linus, (and maybe I still do), I made sure to specifically make my browser footprint appear to be the most popular browser and version of Windows at the time.

Because it's just like what I implied! HDMI Forum is doing more than merely "protecting their IP." They're creating scheming deals and corrupt contracts to stifle competition and prevent us from buying things that we actually want. It would be easy to say, "Then just buy or MAKE a big-screen TV...

Either we as a civilization choose to have law that protects this sort of "Best way known way to process data" IP, or law that does not allow intellectual property of this nature to be kept exclusive or secret. It really depends on how important it is for any random company to be able to compete...

I'm not an expert on the details, but I hear that even among CPUs, it is true that only Intel and AMD are *allowed* to produce x86 CPUs. Something about that seems fishy, and needs to be said, and this context is as good as any. However, that implies that Intel is the one preventing...

Essentially, a corporation is a corporal entity, which is why it's called a "corporation, using the Latin word "corpus," to indicate that any one agent of a corporation does indeed speak for the entire corporation, and no matter if they whine and beg for an excuse for their behavior, we can take...

Then how is it detecting a person's age? Why not just make one adult-account, and have it assume that all use is from the same person? Why is it even trying to figure out who's using it? Why it is even trying to police the games that someone plays? Something smells fishy.

Creepy creepy creepy! I'd get rid of it and never use a Meta corporation product ever. We can't be naive about technology in this day and age. We know what Facebook and those other companies have done over the years. We KNOW. Why fall into their trap once more? A wise man once said, "Take...

I used to have an old NZXT Apollo, and wow, it sure had a nice shape. In addition to the nifty side-window-fan, it had a nicely curved top-front area, making it incredibly nice to put my foot onto. Perfectly ergonomic foot-rest, and ever since, I've always preferred a case with an ergonomic...

Luddites are quite amusing. Of course, I still have fantasies of living on an old style ranch and performing manual labor, plowin' mah field, milkin' mah goats, and just living an honest life using nothing but the most advanced Amish technology. On the other hand, if I am going to be using a...

One time I was selling something, and the buyer charged back and even with evidence, Paypal did nothing, so a crook got an item and I lost my money. Another time, I was buying something, and the seller didn't send the item, and even with evidence Paypal did nothing, so a crook got my money and...

I heavily recommend against Paypal, and consider them 100% malicious. I do not trust them and I avoid them at all costs. I would rather use Amazon or crypto even.

Sounds like a Yugioh card.

I hope we advance to the point that all RAM is meant to lie flat in a socket, and then you clamp a heatsink onto it, with a little fan too.

I certainly did play Fortnite for a bit. I "got good" at it, and ensured that I was actually understanding it before critiquing it. It's quite popular, so it's easy to hate it, but I actually found it a fun, decent game that kept me interested in it about as long as any game ought to. I hope it...

I'm not at all concerned with any of that. I'm completely relaxed and happy to feed the AI the same data it's been being fed from the beginning, such as "The Pile" and other things like that, which are extremely huge collections of data, which no one has any time to read through. The best we...

Removing ideological bias is as easy as letting the AI run using the raw documents its been fed, and most certainly, not hardcoding in ideologically motivated responses in regards to race, sex, religion, politics, social movements, society in general, or the actual purpose of civilization or...

Let's not forget who holds the REAL power here. TSMC. Without their technology, both Nvidia and AMD would immediately collapse. TSMC is both a blessing and a scourge, for if AMD or Nvidia could only fabricate their own chips, then not only would supply issues be solved, but potentially, they...

Yeah, I'd say for sure that Nvidia's thinking is future-facing, and what they're really getting at here is 8K+ resolutions. There's just no feasible way to make it easy to run a year 2024+ modern game at 8K or up without DLSS type technology. I also wouldn't be surprised if upscaling from 4K...

If AMD wants to win the AI market on the consumer side, all they need to do is release cards with more VRAM. That's it. 32 GB, 48 GB, even 64 GB or more, and immediately, raw performance would take second-place to the ability to actually load in huge data models.

If it hasn't been mentioned yet, Vivaldi is a browser that is worth looking at. I don't use it currently, but I'm considering it more and more each day. (Edit: Vivaldi is Chromium based. Let it all just burn.)

I would say that whether or not a game has interesting or unique characters is less important than if it adheres to some sort of ideology, as if the game itself was propaganda for a specific agenda, rather than just the general feelings or ideas of the creators. So it's not so much a game being...

Oh yessss, I actually played Overload a little bit on my old Oculus Rift DK2, and WOWZA. I'm lucky I was sooooo young when I first started playing Descent. My mind functions natively in 6DOF 3D space at this point. Truth be told, I haven't actually played through the Overload singleplayer...

Well, I was considering Baldur's Gate 3, but maybe this would do the trick instead?

I kid you not, I would be annoyed if Nvidia CPUs became available for consumers, but I would probably still buy one for my next upgrade. Hopefully they wait until the tail end of the DDR5 era so I can get all the performance out of my current system before I have to upgrade.

Hmm yes, at first I was shocked and sad, but after a little research into Volition's activities, I realize that shutting them down is the right move. It would have been easy for a person at Embracer to go to Volition HQ and done a quick interview, and then leave that HQ with a sad, but knowing...

Freespace still exists in the form of the Freespace Source Code Project at https://www.hard-light.net RIP Volition.

Let's end this discussion. I remember my previous post I made in this thread where I stated, "All publicity is good publicity." Let us all voluntarily decide to stop talking about Linus and never mention his name ever again. If you read this, do not post another comment on this thread or any...

Don't ever forget how LTT became "POPULAR." I remember before I would ever watch LTT, that I would see their video thumbnails CONSTANTLY on nearly every video I would watch on Youtube, no matter if it was tech related or not. LTT was forcing themselves into everyone's view, probably with some...

No way. I think we need to follow what AMD, Nvidia, Intel, and even those other little companies out there, like Phison or Micron are actually researching and developing. Where is computing going FOR REAL? Look at the actual data for what's being researched, produced, bought, and sold, and don't...
