Hah, I was going to point this out. We already use MAT (Medial Axis Transform) - quite heavily in 3D printing and object/space recognition.

you can even get an iPhone 7/8 for reasonable price right now, if Apple is a requirement. I'm still on my 7 from late 2016 and will stick to it through this cycle as well.

I'm quite certain Windows Defender uses (or used, at some point) GPUs in the machine to accelerate malware pattern matching. I remember a coworker talking about a funny bug as a consequence when the graphics driver executable itself wa

Intentional or not, it is just a platform limitation. If Apple really cared, it isn't impossible to have user verify what an app is requesting should be granted. Infact, Apple caught up with Android on having App permissions. Google&#x

That is more of a platform limitation from my understanding, sort of like complaining that the x button to close the window is not on the left in this app.

I'm guessing it is used for generating 3D buildings from map data and for the AI planes. They could also use it for voice communication with the in-game ATC but we'll have to wait for the release to know for sure.

With Odyssey+'s new SDE filter, and 150% superscaling - I get smooth and really nice looking graphics! I compromise slightly on autogen ground scenery (one notch below ultra) and no ground shadows but everything else is maxed out. I&#x

Because they're based on the same tech. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Flight_Simulator#Loc... I know Airbus also uses ESP as the base, but not sure about Boeing sims.

The current and next gen consoles are PCs in disguise, especially the xbox since it shares a large portion of codebase with Windows (OneCore).

especially for the cost! All you need is a $500 headset and a set of rudder pedals.

You're making it unnecessarily complex. The current version of x-plane does VR really well, viewport is in the pilot's seat and all you need for full immersion is a set of rudder pedals and the VR controllers themselves. Using VR

Yeah, but Netflix doesn't ask you for more money to see a movie on their platform. Whereas you do have to buy your own games on Stadia.

To be fair, PlayStation and Xbox have a lot longer and reliable track record compared to Google products. And so, you'll be at the mercy of the lifespan of yet another Google product.

Still a no deal for me, if my purchases in Stadia cannot grant me access to the game on other platforms. Who knows when Google decides Stadia isn't worth it anymore?

They are made up of a solid lattice, the components are formed by differential doping. There is some migration, but it is far too slow to have an effect over the lifespan of our electronics. Physical inertia is meaningless over other forces

I'm quite sure Apple has a tool for profiling iOS applications. ARM has PMU (Performance Measuring Unit) as part of the architecture, for exactly this sort of testing.
