Patently untrue. Both iOS and Android allow you to skip setting up an Apple ID or Google account. The only way you are not allowed to fully use your device is the app stores which require accounts. It's still a phone, you can still sid

Nadella's MSFT is plenty underhanded. You only have to look as far as their last two major OS versions. Last four to five if you want to count everything they did to 7-8.1 to get people on 10. But even just on 10 and 11 there's pl

If you invent a slope you're legally allowed to put anything you want on it, just know that slopes tend to turn into curves when you back up. The existence of carnivores hasn't eliminated herbivores. For some reason evaporation ha

The skater is a small human sized object. They pull their arms in, don't honestly shrink much, but they still spin appreciably faster. When you go from something the size of a pre-collapse star and compare it to the size of a neutron s

No, the article says the only noticeable effect was a particularly bright star. The same amount of material received from the supernova is absorbed by earth each day. It was an ordinary Tuesday besides the lightshow.

To my knowledge, the massive size isn't from the drivers, but because transcoded video files are also slipped in with the shaders. Proton struggles with things like Media Foundation, so Valve transcodes videos on their end.

Sorta, not really. Neural networks are deterministic in the wrong ways. If you feed them the same input, you'll get the same output. Any variation comes from varying the input or randomly varying your choice from the output. And if you

You're free to define it that way, but that's substantially different from GP's "if it's not a display adapter, it's not a GPU" that I was pushing against. It does seem pretty fragile to define a GPU in te

It does do graphics. Calculating graphics is different from handling display output. You can separate the two. Like someone else mentioned, laptops often have discrete graphics cards that are not wired to display hardware at all, needing to

If it processes graphics, I think it counts, even if it has no output. There's still use for GPUs even if they're not outputting anything. My place of work has around 75 workstations with mid-tier Quadros, but they only have mini-

Since stripping the nitpicky word out detracts from the comment a negligible amount, since always. It's obnoxious word and tone policing that doesn't say anything.
