A person who only uses cash for payments in 2024 is in fact, an extremist. A person who only uses cash cannot purchase things online either. This entire thread is about online shopping/advertising. A person who only uses cash has no re

It depends how you count them; we're unsure what the game spec recommendations consider as cores. The 7800x3D, for instance, is 8 physical cores with 16 threads. Many systems will report this as 16 cpus. The difference between cpu, cor

The article is short on details. Schrems alleges that Facebook somehow picked up his sexual orientation from a panel meeting, and then advertised to him based on that? Is it not more likely that the group of people/profiles and activit

I dare say you are not the target audience for 4K gaming then - which is where those recommended specs came from. The price of a GPU that can game in 4K is many multiples more than your entire system upgrade cost. Your hardware will dictate

The infamous Oscar Wilde quote, "The bureaucracy is expanding to meet the needs of the expanding bureaucracy" is as true as ever. Every bureaucracy ends up the same - serving only itself to preserve itself.

Usually PC Gamers buy the games first, and then if they are not satisfied with their current GPU's performance, they might upgrade - maybe... or lower the settings a little. Unlike console gamers - pc gamers have a lot of adjustability

I would suspect a great deal of the "8 cpus" segment is really 8 physical cores with 16 vcores - but I could be wrong. Either way, those playing on 4K are most likely to meet or exceed these hardware recommendations.

I also suspect they do not take full advantage of multi-core systems. Recommending a 16 core CPU might imply that is no longer the case with the newest Civ title.

Previous Civ games seriously bog down mid-to-late game. It's not visual candy, it's just all the units/ai doing its thing. The more turns you take, the longer each end-of-turn takes. I could see where suggesting 16 cores and

They do, where feasible. It's still very expensive, and the poles are owned by another entity which complicates things a bit more as well. No free lunch, as they say.

Define track please. You seem to assume they're doing something nefarious or that they couldn't observe if you walked into a store. To answer your question - yes. If you want relevant ads for items you might be interested in, then

The article you linked to, regarding Target, is exactly what your corner store cashier is doing. There is literally no difference. You are conflating two different things - stores retargeting existing customers and recommending products the

Why is it a problem if the user searches/shops for diapers, and then advertisers show diaper ads? The person is interested in diapers after all, and you don't just buy diapers once.

I don't see how your cited article is "worse" in any way. They used intuition to deduce what items a customer might be interested in based on their other purchases. > One Target employee I spoke to provided a hypothetical

You can have real rural broadband today. You just need to be willing to pay for installation out of pocket. When an ISP runs fiber to a new building (be it in a business park or rural farm), the math is almost entirely based on recuperating
