Hilariously, years of multibillion dollar losses with no path to sustainability have yet to translate to a lower stock price.

It works for some use cases, I don't mean to imply otherwise. For my use cases... I have more apps installed on my phone than Mobian has in its repository.

The options I know of are the Pinephone and the Librem 5. They're various degrees of open source and secure. They're also slow, lack most software, require constant tinkering, and have terrible battery life. The pragmatic option i

I'm not sure why you've chosen glacier forecasts to pick on. At least in aggregate they're one of the most predictable effects of climate change--look at this mass balance graph [0]. If public communicators said glaciers woul

Enemy of the State was overstated at the time. It resembles 21st century spying programs so closely because the US government used the movie as a blueprint to develop those programs: https://www.nature.com/articles/d415

That's a nice speech, but it's only an aspiration. It also says all Europeans should have 1gbps internet by 2025, which suggests some fantasy is occurring.

I'm not sure I see how it even makes business sense. Trying to compete with with Apple and Microsoft by eliminating your strengths to focus on your weaknesses isn't a good play. Gnome and Ubuntu are not and will never be as smooth

They're not public services, they're security theater with no real effectiveness. The skip programs are effectively official acknowledgement of that.

It depends how you have it placed, too. I played on a 2 year old Pro and it was extremely loud, but I have it stuffed in a media center cubby, so it's always suffering from low airflow.

Although "learning styles" are widely believed by teachers, there's no evidence that they affect learning. They're basically horoscopes--vague enough to make sense on an intuitive level, but false [0]. In practice, tailo

I must use scrolling windows differently than you, because I haven't clicked and dragged a scroll bar probably for years. The only thing I need a scroll indicator for is to see how far I am down the page, which I only do when I'm

The only gesture input the Kinect could recognize reliably was dancing. I don't think that says much about the appeal of gesture controls in a system that can see finer movements. As a counterexample, iOS and MacOS have a lot of gestur

They are still out crushing people. They've decided to target nonviolent protestors instead of looters. Softer targets perhaps.

Not so for those of us of the left-handed persuasion, sadly (I suppose there could be a button to flip it)

University may cost 10% of US prices, but median income is even lower than 10% US.

I agree with the idea and most of the examples, but I'd be interested to hear why you've put FFXIII in the good category and Mass Effect in the bad one. XIII has a ton of dubiously-written extra text, and I don't remember M

That's not what that article says. It's speculation from before the display launched. Here is a later article in which the founder of the company says it is lenticular: https://hackaday.com/2018/11/21&#x2

PCVR capabilities are too high for it to be a dead end. More niche, absolutely, because mobile VR/AR has somewhere from console to smartphone-level growth potential--but a smaller, higher-paying market for premium experiences is going

Ah, that makes sense. I was thinking the problem lay in loading the original meshes, but I didn't consider they could be using a smaller non-triangle format. I really hope they share more about how this works.

Less than that in double precision. If my math is right, they manage around 0.4 petaflops. Their previous-gen SuperPOD was #22. If they do indeed add four of the new ones that will still put it at #1, with something like 230 petaflops.

> I don’t think the SSD but rather the GPU would be doing the tesselation... Ha, I phrased that badly. I meant that, if the high-poly models can't all be stored in VRAM at once, is the SSD fast enough to load them back onto the GPU

I don't know the implementation details of this, but I use both a 3950x and a 2080 Ti for rendering in Blender's Cycles, which is a non-realtime path-traced engine. I've experimented with several different configurations, and

But how is it running so quickly? I've seen adaptive rendering implementations before, but they couldn't run in real time. If they are really using billions of polys they can't store them all in VRAM. Is the PS5 SSD fast enou

Your FAQ says Comma "openpilot performs the functions of Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Automated Lane Centering (ALC)" and my 2020 Corolla is supported-but it already has those features. I read through the site and I don'

Other Bethesda studios can still use them. I remember Arkane got ahold of id tech 5 for Dishonored 2, and then renamed it "Void Engine" and added a bunch of bugs.
