OLED do burn in but it take a LOT of time. Here is the OLED Switch that has 18,000 hours of static screen time. Yes, it has burned in but on the most extreme situation possible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Po8jAQjvd88

I was about to say. Phones were not allowed and this was when the 3310 was the peak of mobile tech to have! This is Melbourne Australia.

Dick Bartolo one of the writers for Mad used to host The Giz Wiz on twit.tv. It was a daily review of all kinds of random gadgets that come up, it looked to be a life long fascination with those advertisements in the back of magazines. Prom

Complete opposite experience here, my grandad had a subscription to it! Not sure what happened to the decades of them because they were all gone by the time he passed.

I am so glad to see things like this happening again. Im not saying "bring back all the magazines!" But some of them had a real place in the format. The one thing I loved about the old tech mags was because of the longer cadence t

I tried three that jumped to mind and had no luck. But these are exceptionally rare albums because they were big flops in their time. "Here in the land of Vicotry" - Rex Holman - Only album from actor most well known from Gunsmoke

That may be the case but this can be seen as 'Hate the game not the player'. Just because folks are in this position doesn't mean you should be complicit in its continuation as it stands. I mean I get it, you end up hurting t

That's for that recap! (Pun intended!). I should have been more specific by being more vague. The game didn't need to be patched for the vast majority of its common use. I would be surprised if there are any games with a degree of

This is why DOS games that supported 3DFX just talked directly to the GPU. They documented all the registers mapping for direct access. Didn't even need to install drivers. DOS was in its twilight years at that point, Nvidia/ATI d

I only ever had a very brief hands on time with SuperH based systems (excluding the excessive amount of Saturn/Dreamcast play time). They seemed to have efficiency as their very core goal. So while they were not the fastest processors

Funnily enough I mentioned this on here a few days ago. Steve Jobs when announcing the G5 said they would have a 3Ghz model available in 12 months, and a G5 laptop. It never happened. Was a big reason in why they moved to Intel. I had a dua

You can still get PPC desktops but they are pricey. Thinking the Talos 2. Even now they are several generation behind. https://www.raptorcs.com/TALOSII/ Unfortunately back in the mid-late 2000's every major compan

Similarly you could just stuff around on Bayonetta during load times. Useful on 360/Ps3/Wii U but once it came out of PC, SSD speed made that practically pointless.

Unfortunately, these businesses didn't get to the top by treating people ethically. Don't think they will start now.

Still better than training on the Reddit data.

An aside but this is why I was blown away by Mario Odyssey on the Switch. While it did get patches to add a few new games modes and bonuses, there was nothing done to fix anything broken with the title because there wasn't anything. If

I think what they have been doing is focusing on what 95% of people use these things for. Just basic utility based things. The most complex thing most people will render is Google Earth. I would not be surprised if that is probably the most

A few of the Playstation titles that made their way to PC do seem to have a little home field advantage on AMD chips, but not enough to sway people over to them.

I was about to say. I bailed out of the industry just as the Xbox One/Ps4 was coming in. Even with the 360/Ps3, it was considered wise to try and steer clear of that kind of low level stuff just for ones sanity. When the X1/P

I want to believe! But I think your vision goes a little too heavy on audio only side. By that I mean, the biggest problem with voice control is the lack of detailed feed back. This is why people will usually use it to check the weather, bu

I agree with you sentiment. That said there are two vague exceptions I can think of on this. The original iPhone but that was because its existence would have been leaked/semi announced once they tried to get it approved for public use

I get it, being mind blown in this industry is getting further apart with time. It is just that the industry is becoming mature, we have picked most of the low hanging fruit and now it is a case of refining the refinded. Triple distilled de

What makes you think you will die alone? I know many that have said that and have had late life turn around, but a big part of it is just being ok with yourself. The good, the bad, everything in between. The marbled reality that is you. To

At this point? They have been for a very long time. We saw this first hand when they almost single-handedly crushed Windows phone by essentially keeping them out of their walled garden. That was back in about 2010. That was when I swore off

Really cool to remind people to do this but I also get a little sense of irony that to really do this, just walk away from the screen. Don't need an app to allow you to do nothing. Not a put down at all, just that our strange little wo

Not who you are responding to but I think it is more a case of, long term it might not work out as intended for them. They are more than free to pursue this goal with all their might, but don't be surprised if in a few years they are b

Absolutely. A part of that would have been Steve's legendary ability to convince folks to make the move to Apple even when they had options that looked better at the time. Another part was seeing the potential of those already in the c

This is a very key insight many need to be aware of. The thing that can be sacrificed in order to obtain efficiency is resilience. To master the bend not break model. You can make a bridge that can handle a 10 ton load for half the material

It does come from a point of privileged. Steve jobs said "A players hire A+ players. A+ players hire A++ players". That was because he saw A players hiring B players. B Players will hire C players - and so on. That is all well and
