I read an article recently about the growth in sales of such "trucks" in Australia. In there people were complaining that the existing parking spaces aren't big enough for these vehicles, so there should be a review into park

You're saying the same thing but with two different outcomes, as if by virtue of using open source tools you're not going to get stuck working at companies that also only use open source tools. Become experienced in open source to

Using XMP to deliver the rated memory speeds is considered overclocking by some since at least in the DDR4 days the spec said DDR4 was 2133 only.

Yeah, I remember messing around with Mode-X and SVGA video modes, then writing code to plot lines, circles, Wu pixels, Anti-aliased lines and all that stuff. Years later at different jobs I was able to use the accumulation method used in Br

They put in ads into iOS, why wouldn't they put in ads in Apple TV?

Don't worry, Apple TV will soon get ads and the experience will be much the same as the "Smart" TVs. I'm pretty sure the smart features were put into TVs so they could become the one entertainment device just like those

I'm on a 5950x as well but I'll be sticking with it for many years to come as it's still one of the most efficient chips out there - source: Gamer's Nexus benchmark videos.

Might be worth taking a look at the announced Intel Xeon MAX chips then. I watched a video on it last night and these new server CPUs have a boatload of memory on the chip and can actually run without needing external DRAM.

To target older PCs you also need to target something like Windows 7 rather than Windows 10 or later. It also depends how you write your code because there are many ways to reduce memory usage, for example switching to arrays and 32bit inde

So they have. Though I doubt the utility of creating the 32 bit configuration because I don't see anyone creating 32 bit x86 Windows Desktop applications any time soon. They're more likely to create arm64 than x86. As for changing

Really need to publicise issues in the tracker and get people to spread the word and upvote them. That's the only way to get the proper attention.

I mean MSVC still has x86 (32 bit) projects as default, which also means that vcpkg is x86 by default. So to easily create and add x64 projects to a solution you need to use something like CMake otherwise you're doing a lot of manual w

Of course not, it should not have been changed in such a way that required a third party utility. It's one of the reasons I'm still using Windows 10 and have taken steps to make sure my computers don't automatically "upg

So does Windows itself. If you're afraid to or don't want to pay for software then you should probably use some variant of GNU/Linux instead.

I too am sick of getting those paper letters getting sent, so much waste when I end up shredding or throwing all of them out. Really the ASX should just focus on providing a solid modern platform for trading. Simplicity, security, and speed

Thanks for the kind words, it means a bunch to me and other devs that worked on the game! I cannot comment to why they decided to switch to Unreal, but it is one of the reasons I left. I hope it works out for them but I wouldn't hold m

This is a fairly nuanced question so I'll try to explain some of the reasoning. Unreal Engine is standard in so far as studios use it as a base in developing their own game, where they end up creating a fork because they need to adapt

And not just for the game itself but for creating the world in the first place. Often you need radically different data structures for the creation and editing of the data as compared to what you need for running the game on player's m

I have to be careful here, but the simple reason is that the previous engine was not designed to handle the density nor the verticality of the CP77 world. Not that Unreal Engine 5 can handle a world like CP77 either, despite what people may

From what I saw Witcher 1 had a following in RPG players, back in the day I remember seeing one guy at multiple lans play the game. Witcher 3 though was the big breakout where I saw people get excited for it and play it.

To add to that (since I'm somewhat of an expert on this), the engine for Cyberpunk 2077 was completely rewritten from scratch, and only small bits were either ported from W3 or inspired by what was done in W3.

That's true, although Fool's Theory is full of former CDPR people that worked on W3 and CP. I'm assuming it will be a similar situation to that of Spokko where eventually it might be brought under the CDP umbrella. (That'

You'd think using Unreal Engine makes it easier to hire but that's not the case, it just means there's more competition for the people knowledgable in it, and it drives the people that want to work on something different to o

Since Windows licences are tied to the hardware you can reinstall it from almost any Windows installation media and it should automatically activate.

Electric vehicles don't use the brakes that much as they can slow the car down by switching the elctric motors from using electricity to accelerate to using the wheels to generate electricity thereby slowing the car down. Case in point
