My household has been tied to the gaming industry in some form for decades. We’ve owned at least one of every console and handheld during that time, and a myriad of games for each. Collectors Editions, physical copies, digital if there was

This has been a similar approach to what I did for my own homelab. I still need to setup some sort of GitOps so I don’t have to ssh into the box and manually bootstrap whatever compose file I’ve thrown on there, but that’s honestly about it

Once again banging my “there’s already an age check to get online and it’s the adult paying the ISP bill” drum. Seriously, enough with mandating compliance with the surveillance economy. Build a society where parents can actually take care

I love physical media as a ritual, but loathe it as a storage medium - it's fragile, it rots, and manufacturers can't be trusted to create long-lasting products anymore. Not to mention the fact that UHD drives used to rip modern

Extremely minor technicality, but one worth bringing up: Ultraviolet shut down, but mainly because studios had already signed onto a shared locker service called "Movies Anywhere" that Disney did join. Ultraviolet libraries c

That’s a fair critique of my limited, Ameri-centric perspective in my comment, but also a stinging rebuke of the decline of American hegemony abroad. As recently as last year having those Chinese DRAM and NAND makers on the entity list me

I had just drafted a report to leadership that we should buy what we needed for everyone through August ASAP. My advice didn’t make it a week before the price increases. Look, this is going to suck for several more years. The western memory

I'm sorry, but I can't stop laughing at an AI company crying about theft of their IP.

I’ve been on the 50/30/20 budgeting rule for a while now, and I agree it’s a healthier perspective for an individual than a “30% gross on rent/housing” arbitrary metric. Housing is one part of a larger bill of necessities you

I still believe that the strength of AI is when it can be applied locally in a secure and private manner, rather than yet another cloud-based service you must pay for indefinitely even as it gets progressively worse to satiate the greed of

OP gets it. Right now, I’m one dinosaur managing a startup’s tech portfolio. Everything lives in my head first, then in my break-glass vault for addressing the bus problem. Our public cloud footprint is a single KMS for backups. We have no

Some disrespect to PG, but the entire thing reads like: "Oh, if we just operate in a vacuum, do not closely examine the systemic interactions of our accumulation of such vast sums of wealth, assume there's no moral or ethical quan

I’m not sure what you mean - the fact we assume malicious intent is in fact a guard against prior gullibility which was exploited by bad actors. You get betrayed enough, and you stop acting from a position of implicit trust. If folks want t

Guess I get to figure out why gravity didn’t update or how Tom’s snuck past my filters this weekend. Fweh.

100% in agreement here. As someone who grew up spoiled to the point of having no grasp of the value of money, I needed a few good, solid kicks to the balls to make me appreciate what I have, and how much things cost relative to their value.

Holy sh*t Tom’s Hardware has gone downhill. Every advert snuck past both my Pi-Hole and my iOS filters, and it even tried forcing a file download on site open on my iPhone. As for the HL1 port: I love it, always wanted an N95 (I had an N80i

This accomplishes two goals that AI Frontier Labs have a vested interest in: 1) Blocking further AI development by competitors, and- 2) Blocking the ability for outsiders to truly discern AI capabilities. I mean, just think about the past f

Common sense ruling to me. AI != Search, because LLMs are producing statements rather than search results the user has to interpret for themselves. It’s the difference between searching a library’s card catalog for a topic, and a piece of s

Yes. It’s the contact aspect that’s problematic, and all the widely-available training I’ve found in my life thus far has been contact-oriented: self-defense, belt/rank progression, sparring requirements, etc. Honestly if I lived close

Once upon a time, I thought I could leverage my weight into attempting wrestling. My Doctor reiterated the same warning I’d gotten for karate, for boxing, for judo, for every martial art I’d ever wanted to try and take prior: one errant hit

Nope, it’s a definite never for those ones I listed for a combination of the very reasons you specified. Medical reasons and/or basic physics of height.

It’s the not-knowing that is the most haunting. I know I’ll never be able to take martial arts; I have made peace with that. I know I will never be an amazing athlete; I have made peace with that as well. Same with my body composition:

I get all of that already, but stand by my original points: for most consumer, non-data center workloads , the compromises aren’t likely to be noticeable to the end user. We’re not talking about edge cases like local-AI or AAA gaming enthu

This is quite literally one of my two grievances against Ubiquiti at the moment: its intense requirement for mobile apps for initial setup. Stop mandating apps that will eventually break or cease being supported. Give us an OOBE that can

You got it in one! That's exactly what makes unified memory superior for current use cases, and different from the shared memory woes of old.

by stego-tech 4mo ago
I came here to say just this myself! Modern DIMM formats make SFF/portable builds with unified memory pools far more plausible than prior designs. There's absolutely no reason desktop machines couldn't implement similar DIMM

I live with a game dev myself, so I get it . Hell, it's hard even for PC developers who want to do things without leaning on abstraction layers or existing engines. Managing multiple discrete memory pools, asset swaps or calls betwe

And the thing we gamers forget is that we’re the outlier . We’re the edge case. Most consumers will never really care about, let alone see, the difference in PCIe or memory bandwidth impacts from such a shift to unified memory pools. We

Damn. That wasn’t my intention at all, I was just pointing out that Rust has another reason to see wider adoption vis a vis the usual Valley advertising bullshit of deliberately conflating hardware security with software security. I persona
