weew,

is it really a city builder? Or more of a PvE RTS?

weew,

Or maybe the fist bit of starcraft before you get into combat.

plays zerg hmmm what did that mean?

weew,

it doesn’t even work in my region, so it’s a no go.

I like the idea of the fairphone. And it would be nice if you could upgrade individual modules, like the camera, battery, or screen. But that would probably require way higher costs in support

weew,

I think someone also recreated the entire SC1 campaign as custom SC2 maps

weew,

Blizzard. Without Activision.

weew,

I only remember Syndicate from Bullfrog

weew,

I don’t know if it’s just a local slang, but most straight girls I know will refer to their close female friends as girlfriends.

weew,

avoid saying “howdy”

weew,

Seems like a neat concept. I bet the number of parts and weight could probably be cut down by 75% with some dedicated engineering and development behind it.

weew,

Excellent. I’m really just looking for the next StarCraft that won’t be made by Blizzard-Activision

weew,

You think people built entire highways just because they wanted the most inefficient and expensive way to screw over some deer? No fucking shit all this infrastructure is for driving.

weew,

let’s just call it “Mexican-inspired”

HP says I should have known its £399 laptop bargain was too good to be true (www.theguardian.com)

[…] Parcelforce texted the delivery slot. No delivery. Parcelforce and HP’s tracking systems then claimed I had refused the parcel. I scheduled a redelivery for the next day. Parcelforce then rang me and the agent acknowledged a delivery had not been attempted and that the tracking information was false. It claimed HP had...

weew,

Yeah, Voodoo back then was super expensive but they were quality at least. High end paint jobs and custom watercooling (in an era when AIO watercoolers didn’t exist). Definitely something to lust after.

Now it’s another crappy name slapped onto a crappy HP

weew,

A Samsung slider. I remember watching the Matrix the first time, and when that phone popped open to reveal the keypad it was mind-blowing. Getting a slider phone a few years later was so satisfying.

weew,

dumb watch. I really just need a quick glance at the time and date mostly when I can’t (or don’t want to) whip my phone out.

No batteries, kinetic powered, waterproof, cheap.

Some smartwatches have features I might be interested in (offline GPS tracking) but not at the price I’m willing to pay. Still waiting for prices to drop more.

And aside from Garmins and other high end dedicated expedition/marathon watches, everything else’s battery life just seems like crap. Like if I ever leave home for a single night I’ll have to pack a charger? That’s terrible.

weew,

I was thinking of getting a Pixel if the price dropped enough, but I just can’t live with a shitty battery no matter the price. That’s one of my dealbreakers. OP12 is potentially my next phone though.

weew,

Still, i don’t think it’ll need to get much more complex to be very useful for AI workloads.

People have been discovering that more, and simpler, calculations seem to work better? the trend in AI workloads seems to have gone from FP32 -> FP16 -> INT16 -> INT8 and possibly even INT4?

Seems like just having lots of simple calculations is more efficient/effective than more complex stuff.

weew,

cyberpunk is actually great for that. Sometimes if I don’t wanna do anything in particular I’ll just… fight the police, lol. Or just randomly do some open world stuff, like drive around the badlands. Then if I’m feeling like doing something more “meaningful” I’ll jump into an actual story quest

weew,

Apparently I got that too. Confirmed by my first gf, I barely smell while sweaty. And my earwax is dry/flaky.

weew,

it could still be about money. Non-profits can still get sued to oblivion

The vanishing of the small high-end smartphone (www.smh.com.au)

Manufacturers don’t make displays under 6 inches available for purchase, with special cases (such as the iPhone Mini) being made under exclusive contracts. The best lead they have so far is to try to use displays designed for the front part of a foldable phone, but they’re yet to strike an agreement....

weew,

People generally just want the biggest screen they can hold in their hands comfortably.

For most people that seems to have settled into the 6.5-6.7" range, depending on aspect ratio and bezels.

Pixel 8 and 8 pro users - How has the experience been so far?

Hi Pixel 8 and 8 pro users, how has your experience with the new line of phones been so far? I’m still rocking a pixel 6 pro, and don’t intend on upgrading this year; however, as a pixel nerd, I am curious about how the new phone is holding up? Has there been any noticeable improvements or compromises compared to your last...

weew,

Paying over $1000 for a 4G phone… gotta think about that one

weew,

the only thing that can stop a bad senior with a gun is a good toddler with a gun

weew,

Funny thing is that Activision-Blizzard was so bad that many people figured a Microsoft takeover probably couldn’t make it worse…

weew,

I think the modem is the same anyway. At most they may have changed some behaviour with software but it’s still crap.

weew,

lol that sounds like vocabulary only an alcoholic would invent.

“I’ve heard of being sober, but I’m to afraid to try it right now.”

weew,

Apple doesn’t make any kind of necessity. Every single one of their products is completely optional in life and has alternatives.

If people are willing to pay for it, whatever. It’s a luxury. It’s not medicine or housing.

weew,

it was before he was an actual celebrity and was only known for creating Tesla/SpaceX. He was also “only” a millionaire and well before Tesla stock went nuts, and he also wasn’t posting like crazy on Twitter so people only knew him via Tesla and SpaceX’s achievements, both of them legendary underdogs looking to overthrow the well-established big industry corporations.

weew,

what? The “left” has always been the side of revolutionary upstarts and underdogs. The right is the conservative, old guard, established players.

you’re literally trying to rewrite history just to try to hate Musk a little more

weew,

no small efficiency cores… really have to wonder what the battery life will be with this.

Then again, maybe simply running the large core at a lower speed will end up being the same efficiency as a small core? Qualcomm is also cutting down on small cores for the Gen 3…

weew,

So much for the brilliant AI-specialized Tensor processor

It’s basically just a mediocre processor that offloads interesting things to the mothership.

weew,

surprisingly this is how people defend the new pixel 8 pro.

$999 for mid-range performance? “Well I don’t play games anyway so it’s fine”

weew,

because it costs $999.

it only does what a <$500 phone can do, the the only reason pixels can “do what no other phones do” is not capability but artificial restrictions.

weew,

do Reddit admins think they have any kind of search function without using Google and site:reddit.com?

weew,

The English phrase is “missing the forest for the trees”

Not quite the same as chess blindness. Possibly the opposite. It basically means: being unable to see (or ignoring) the bigger picture because you’re too focused on minor individual details

weew,

celebrate Thanksgiving with Canadians

Are you going to need an unlimited data plan to use The 8 Pro's Video Boost feature?

From my understanding, the P8P’s video boost can’t be done in the phone itself, but it’s actually uploading the video to Google’s servers, processing it there, then downloading the finished product back again. In fact, it probably uploads two videos, one at high ISO and one at low ISO to get the full HDR range....

weew,

That sucks, because then you won’t be able to see if you need to re-shoot a video until after going home.

weew, (edited )

You totally can. I missed the part about the videos taking overnight to process, so there’s apparently no reason to upload them immediately.

It would still suck for people with data caps at home, like rural Americans or people who just use cellular hotspot to serve as home internet

Is the purpose of life to be happy?

When I’m unhappy, I feel like I’m doing life wrong. I’d rather be happy. But is happiness the point of life, or is there more to it? If I pursue happiness, mine first then for those around me, is that selfish? But if there’s a bigger purpose, then what about people with Alzheimer’s or dementia who can’t recall recent...

weew,

life is just life. It’s not the universe and everything

weew,

nillkin makes cases with camera covers.

weew,

Yuck. Minimal upgrades from last generation yet they increase the price. Artificially limiting software features to the pro.

And those prices are for 128gb? Just so they can overcharge you for more memory upgrades.

weew,

even worse is the artificial segregation. The 8 can’t even get the same software features as the 8 pro despite the same hardware to run it.

weew,

blow it all on a gacha game and don’t even get a single character you want

weew,

Well the 8 looks like a terrible value. Minimal upgrades over the 7, no software benefits like pro controls, $100 price increase.

Just wait for the 7 to go on sale and get that instead.

weew,

I’d be happy with a mid-range phone too, except I want a good camera. That’s basically the only reason I’m looking at high end phones…

Also it’s such bullshit that only mid-range phones have SD cards these days.

weew,

My condo is paid off, actually. But I still want to to crash, because the price gap between my little place and a larger home is way too big. I basically can’t upgrade unless prices fall.

weew,

yeah but generally prices will fall proportionally
