dudewitbow,

The game runs well on midnrange pcs, but it scales terribly as you move up the stack. It has the problem crysis had.

dudewitbow,

I would think rudimentary scissors came from shears to cut wool or hair.

In order to get practical paper, youd need the process of cutting wood to a T, which likely would have created scissors before hand if cutting has evolved to that point already.

dudewitbow,

Thats kinda why they made it optional to build in the game, especially after a certain point in the game where you have two options and can choose not to build which i wont mention details due to it being a spoiler.

dudewitbow,

Starfield reletive to other bethesda titles has the most tame start. Its part of the reason why people dont like the intro hours into the game.

dudewitbow,

Imo companies should at least pay for the data used by said ads. Especially the ones that needlessly throw videos at people.

dudewitbow,

The game isnt ending, just adding new content is. Thats like saying that x company stopped updating a game i bought, so i should get a refund on it.

dudewitbow,

Well the mainstream nintendo ones do. Fire Emblem Heroes is one of nintendos longest running mobile games, and is still the one that makes the most $ (not including the Pokemon series, which is often considered seperate to Nintendos other ips in terms of management)

dudewitbow,

Imo, that was intentional to get double dip profita on mostly the same work.

I fully believe all of this is just holdover for the next mainline mario kart title, which will be on the next switch device within the first 3 months of its release next year.

dudewitbow,

Well, DLSS is slightly misleading. The 2019 version of the shield comes with video quality upscaling for 30/60 fps content. It doesnt touch framerates on games or anything. (However it can upscale streamed games)

Starfield Is Seemingly Missing Entire Stars (the local 'sun') When Running On AMD Radeon GPUs (wccftech.com)

So a user on Reddit (ed: u/Yoraxx ) posted on the Starfield subreddit that there was a problem in Starfield when running the game on an AMD Radeon GPU. The issue is very simple, the game just won't render a star in any solar system when you are at the dayside of a moon or even any planetary object. The issue only occurs on AMD...

dudewitbow,

You make it sound like nvidia has never pushed out a kinda sorta works driver.

dudewitbow,

Its what happens when you have several decades building brand mindset. It ALWAYS irks me when someone asks for buying something via brand.

Its one thing to buy a brand because of customer service, and i get it. Its bad to buy a brand because of the mindset that the product is “better”, as that gives companies a free pass on releasing shit products and getting away with it.

dudewitbow,

Its moreso creation kit. Without it, some mods are really hard to make.

dudewitbow,

The mods made by creation kit, and the mods made using script extenders arent the same kind of mods.

CK allows modding in custom NPCs, followers and more models, as well as modifying vanilla asset models in the game easier (part of the reason why the only thing you see in modding space are texture swaps and full model swaps) as well as quest mods. These are the types of mods you see like in skyrim that can be enabled by console as well.

Script extenders enable mods that rewrite how the game functions, be it physics, adding new interactions and such.

dudewitbow,

Full model replacements are typically not hard, especially if theyre being used as a replacment for already existing assets vs creating a new asset and item id for.

Its like the modding scene for both brawl and umvc3.

It only starts off with replacing already exiting assets, but it wont explode till you figure out how to add custom assets. Brawls point was when project m devs found how to add character slots, umvc3 was when they figured out similar + making fully custom models/animations without having to borrow existing ones.

You need the tools to exist to get to the blowup point.

dudewitbow,

Because people only care about if the OS gives them what they want in a convenient manner. Not everyones usecase is covered well with Linux, especially the most basic one, having the laptop installed with linux on the getgo is an extremely limited pool of devices to choose from.

Consumer Nintendo Switch 2 rumored to have more RAM than the Xbox Series S (www.notebookcheck.net)

A new Nintendo Switch 2 rumor has surfaced claiming that the next-generation hybrid console could actually arrive with more memory than a powerful rival like the Microsoft Xbox Series S. The same source has also offered an update in regard to the Switch 2’s potential DLSS support and ray-tracing capabilities.

dudewitbow,

Neither are too new. Both features are technically available for volta gpus or newer. The switch was maxwell, and unless you fully believe the switch 2 will use pascal (2016), then it is at the very minimum, using volta, which means it can use rtx/dlss (but i dont expwct it to ACTUALLY use rtx)

dudewitbow,

AMD supports ML, its just a lot of smaller projects are made with CUDA backends, and dont have developers there to switch from CUDA to OpenCL or similar.

Some of the major ML libraries that used to built around CUDA like Tensorflow has already made non CUDA branches, but thats only because tensorflow is open source, ubiquitous in the scene and litterally has google behind it.

ML for more niche uses basically is in the chicken and egg situation. People wont use other gpus for ML because theres no dev working on non CUDA backends. No ones working on non CUDA backends because the devs end up buying Nvidia, which is basically what Nvidia wants.

There are a bunch of followers but a lack in of leaders to move the direction in a more open compute environment.

dudewitbow,

People suspect its a vr headset, or a vr headset adjacent tech like a more portable (reletively) higher powered pc box to be able to use it while carrying it to be able to do pcvr without being tethered to a standing object.

[Rumor] Nintendo Switch 2 Will Come With 12 GB RAM, Ray Tracing Capabilities; Unreal Engine 5 Demo Ran With DLSS 3.1 (wccftech.com)

Speaking on X/Twitter, Necro Felipe, Universo Nintendo editor-in-chief who correctly revealed information regarding Nintendo products and games in the past before the official announcements, revealed that, according to their sources, the new console will be ray tracing capable and will come with 12 GB of RAM, which is a big step...

dudewitbow,

It was actually originally planned for 2gb till capcom convinced nintendo to make it 4.

dudewitbow,

Its the advantage that zigbee devices have. Although wireless protocols like wifi, bluetooth and zigbee use the same wireless band, their implementation works better in some usecases over others. Zigbee is designed well for coverage (as it can daisy chain between devices) and connecting a shit ton of devices to a single hub that requires low data input/output.

If theyre in the apple ecosystem, they already have apple products that charge with USB-C.

not an apple user myself, by my cousin is stoked he doesnt have to carry extra cables to charge his phone as he already carries his Macbook charger with him. Doesnt apply to magsafe ones for obvious reasons

dudewitbow,

Starfield has the problem that horizontal progression games like horizontal progression mmos have, which is they have a LOT of things you can do unlocked after a certain point (getting to constellation for the first time) but doesnt handhold you to any of the other features.

People who get sidetracked easily dont have that problem because they like picking and choosing what they want to do. People who need guidance gets lost in the options.

dudewitbow,

Hence, but doesnt handhold you through them.

It has the functions, tells you very little about them because after the intro moments, theres virtually no tutorials.

dudewitbow,

They tutorial the basics of how to fly a ship and loot space items, without informing you that some of its features are locked behind skills (target mode, thrusters for strafing)

dudewitbow,

As a person who works ewaste, which includes apple devices, youd be suprised on how little people return the chargers for their devices

dudewitbow,

Its not like intel never had gpu drivers (they have had igpus for ever), they just never had to constantly need to update them for the gaming audience.

Lets not pretend features like intels quicksync that came out on sandy bridge igpus to do video encoding didnt reshape how companies did encoding for viewing(which would lead to NVenc or AMD VCE) or scrubbing in the case of professional use.

The gpu driver team had existed for awhile now, its just they never was seveeely pressured to update it specifically for gaming as theybreally didnt have anything remotely game ready till arguably tigerlake’s igpu.

dudewitbow,

Coal is a very large export of Australia, as its very reliant on imports of a lot of goods to sustain itself. It’s a game of figuring out a way to get Austalia out of that hole if you want to stop coal from being mined.

dudewitbow,

I dont think itll be high powered, thats just the reporter adding something for clickbait.

Im one to believe in Bobby Kottick mentioning that the Switch 2 is roughly the power of a PS4 as he was in contempt of the court when his leak of its performance was discussed. the handheld likely has better cpu performance though vs ps4, as its basically in the same playing field as the steam deck is, both companies who can sit and make thir 30% cut from developer games.

Tldr, dont expect Series S perf, expect steam deck performance with better battery and DLSS support to 4k (i personally believe itll target 1080p60, and use DLSS Performamce preset to upscale to 4k, as 1440p tvs arent common)

Roku lays off 300 workers and removes streaming content to save money (www.engadget.com)

Roku looks to be seriously tightening its pursestrings. The company’s laying off a full ten percent of its workforce, over 300 employees, in addition to a conducting a number of other cost-cutting measures, as reported by Variety. These job cuts are just the beginning, as Roku’s also removing streaming content, consolidating...

dudewitbow,

Why would it need ethernet/wifi if its a dumb tv?

dudewitbow,

Legit, O G. Not even kidding

dudewitbow,

Honestly, I would be pretty ahocked if someone was outing more than one sub per minute

dudewitbow,

Not much is known about chinas new 7nm process as thereisnt much documentation on it. Given that mobile chips are smaller. Even if yields are bad, youd still be able to get some chips made due to its small size.

Last i recall, china was on 14/12nm but the 7nm breakthrough is fairly recent.

dudewitbow,

Its not that its bad, but usually its extra steps.

Most games. In particular ones running directx, use xinput, microsofts input library, which basically maps out to a generic 360 controller.

Controllers that arent designed explicitly for xinput use (many 3rd party controllers do, in particular one designed with pc in mind, but not all) like nintendo and sony controllers (for obvious reasons) use the legacy dinput communication, which not all games support.

Generally you can get around this via steam big picture mode, which uses steams controller API to map Dinput to Xinput automatically, else you have yo use 3rd party software for full compatibility (e.g ds4windows, dll mods) if the game or application does not natively support dinput.

The best situation would be of course, just plug and play, and open up all features of a controller to thr computer, bonus points if it changes the on screen input commands to the controller youre using (some pc games already do that natively)

dudewitbow,

Thats more due to Nvidia making both Frame Generation, Upscaling and the original use, Anti Aliasing (the SS in DLSS is super sampling) the same term.

Realistically, DLSS should be referred to as an anti aliasing technique(like TAA is) but it was basically colloquially hijacked to turn into an upscaling tech.

dudewitbow,

The problem is DLSS should be the AA (as intended) and not the reverse. DLAA should have stayed DLSS and upscaling should have gotten another name.

dudewitbow,

Machine learning is only as good as the dataset it has, and given that english has a HUGE data set on the internet, its okay at it, but it makes sense that for other languages, its likely not ideal.

An example would is art. Look up one using a smaller data set (e.g fully legal ones where all training data had artist permission) vs ones trained on the larger dataset where legality wasnt a concern. Night and day difference

dudewitbow,

Of course. But with translations, brings mistranslations, especially with tier 3+ languages to learn as a english speaker. The data is subject to the accuracy of the translation, and Chat GPT translation is still pretty far from perfect.

dudewitbow,

As long as chinese cars pass local saftey regulations and arent as bad inteoduction wise as Vinfast (whose western introduction to the market was abysmal) they’ll do fine. The key is the UX, and if BYD repeats what vinfast did pushing a vehicle out the door too early, its going to be a bad time.

dudewitbow,

The physical key and a keyfob is like manual vs automatic. It doesn’t fully prevent your car from being stolen, but it does make it harder to steal said car.

I love to blame how terrible software and ux is in cars as theyre very unreliable, but yes, a lot of this is a port problem

dudewitbow,

I think the distinction is need. I dont like it when its mandatory, but i dont mind that the option is there. E.g some people like preheaing their oven on the drive home(or a warning that something on the stove is on if accodently left on), or in case of the dryer, when its done.

One common one I think is helpful is those who may have forgotton to close their garage. Easy way to check without having to drive back and do so.

dudewitbow,

People only think theyre smarter because there wasnt social media to show how stupid they really were.

dudewitbow,

Part of the reason was because of sms pricing on thr earlier days. Sms was quickly free in the U.S, so they used sms because it was there. Many regions used whatsapp and similar to avoid sms charges in the early days. That usage habit still exists today

dudewitbow,

Oleds have built in hardware screen saver

dudewitbow,

I mean id argue Skyrim isnt that great to look at either, given its a continent full of tombs and snow due to its climate. Its just gray and white.

Both Morrowwind and Oblivion had more interesting places to look at than skyrim did.

dudewitbow,

Are you about to bring up skies of all things, and compare to a space game with multiple skies due to having multiple planets?

dudewitbow,

not the guy, but I have mine on a Sata SSD and I don’t think my loading times are the same as his, so I’d expect either slow CPU or on a Hard Drive (going against the minimum requirements that the game should be played on a SSD)

dudewitbow,

Cable and charger are two seperate things like batteries are, they are all.different components.

Usb pd specs has nothing to do with the cable that might end up being used with it.

You arent going to use a low guage wire to carry a ton of power, as you arent supposed to.
