Games will be great again because an excess of AI-generated garbage that nobody wants to play will make the middling games of today seem immaculate by comparison. The problem isn't big studios making games, either. The problem is when

Bingo. The negative effects of karma farming are already outspoken on platforms like Hacker News and Reddit, and these are both platforms where karma itself is relatively worthless. Adding real money to the equation ruins it for good - look

Why use androids at all? Bipedal robots are accident prone and difficult to repair. A wealth of effort would be wasted housing and maintaining a transient race of robo-people that would one day be obsoleted to make room for humans. Even the

Probably a recent Ryzen APU would do the trick, for smaller workloads that are supported by AMD. There are rumors of Nvidia entering the SOC design game though, so you might want to wait for that to manifest before making a decision. Just s

I... it's a terminal. Free and completely functional alternatives have existed since xTerm hit public release back in the '80s. Am I going insane? Why would you pay for this unless you have a workplace humiliation fetish?

And for reference, they acknowledged that this was a problem two years ago but didn't fix it until now. It speaks to either a very lazy development ethic internally, or an outright distrust of their own audience when they speak up. E

Nvidia's long been rumored to be designing desktop and probably laptop SOCs. Once those come out, that will probably be the Linux option in that range. Not sure if any of it is slated for 2025, but it's been around the corner for
