If that's the case, then why are console games so damn expensive? I was shocked to see how much the latest AAA title costs on disk/store Console users now - Don't get a price subsidized console - Have to pay an online members

Some random guy had the same problem as you a couple months ago and already released a nice software package that you can get from AUR/apt/dnf etc. And if it doesn't exist then maybe you should go and make it!

I think there is something to be said for companies putting their money where their mouth is. Getting behind Gaming on Linux with a hardware launch is pretty substantial and Valve have been explicit since 2013 that they think it's the

How. When most people talk about distain for AI they are specifically talking about the use of generative AI and the fact that its widely used to astroturf creatives. Not all AI is bad, and not all AI is gen AI.

Complete lie. ARC Raiders uses AI for generated voice or TTS; it's hardly in the same field as generative AI which is mass scraped from the internet and churned out of a matrix math black box. They paid voice actors for the training an

I think it is about computers being wrong. If a system that could be used to criminally convict someone of a serious crime is in place it should be held to a similar standard of systems such as flight computers or self-driving cars. We must

How can you not read this and just see it's a huge puff piece for Flock. As far as I can read from the first article and reports they were not pivotal in tracking down the killer. It was once again only someone else who knew that perso

I think it's hard to say. Grok is pretty good and also fairly free with good usage limits. Every single AI company in my opinion is committing fairly grave misdeeds with the ruthless scraping of the internet and lack of oversight. Not

It's been funny to see people move from overclocking to underclocking. Especially for the older AMD gpus. On the RX480 a slight underclock would cut the power usage almost in half!

It's actually the buffering in this case that will get you dinged. The stated 110ms "lag" is probably the minimum time between keystrokes ever. If you have ever recorded data on the mean time between keystrokes you get a nice

It makes me feel so gross that these companies are leaving gamers behind. The whole idea of a GPU was from gaming and games. And the whole AI evolution was subsequently born over the fact that gamers/software engineers could toy around

Why would YOU see a mystery XSS exploit on a social network? The idea of the DoD scoring these little exploits in a box is usually to deploy in a highly controlled and specific manner. You as a layperson is of no interest to them unless you

That seems insane to me. There are plenty of bisexual individuals that children will encounter in the real-world no. I could sympathize with banning of books that are of a certain obscenity but if purely because they are bisexual that sound
