Your average game devs still have little idea how to get the best performance from the hardware, and hardware vendors are still patching things under the hood so they don’t look bad on benchmarks.

Yes they do. We know they do because current gen consoles are frequently providing better fidelity and better stability than PC games. Not because PCs have inferior hardware. But because optimization is actually incredibly hard when your custom base is all running different hardware AND different drivers. So even when the hardware is “the same”, it’s not.

This has been true forever. It just took 30 years for high performance computing to be affordable enough to put in consoles. 30 years was a long time for PC gamers to feel superior. Now they enjoy humble pie and make comments like this on the internet to explain why things are so “bad”.

PC games are still great. Don’t let this bother you more than it should.

That statement is based on a false premise. It’s a logical fallacy.

Eating meat is ethical because meat/dairy is the primary source of B12. You’ll literally die without it. You can technically get B12 from, like, seaweed, but that’s not easily and readily available. Mammals are.

I’m never going to agree that it is unethical to consume animals because humans would not be here if we did not consume animals. Animal consumption wasn’t some accident in human history I need to feel bad about. It wasn’t an unethical choice. It’s the result of evolution. This angle of veganism will never work on me. But I can be convinced to consume less meat and support better farming methods.

This is what happens when your culture doesn’t consume any animal products:

You totally forgot about webkit or is apple a non-starter? LMAO

This whole thing started with Apple blocking 3rd party tracking cookies in Safari in 2020.

He’s pandering to his base. They don’t understand Net Neutrality. But they know Obamacare = bad. They are this stupid.

The IT people that want to implement that disaster recovery plan do not make the purchasing decisions. It takes an event like this to get the retards in the C-suite listen to IT staff.

Because the rest of NY state has a housing shortage??? Why do you want to enforce restrictions on real estate in places where people don’t want to live anyways? I’m from Buffalo and get told by people from NYC that no one wants to live here and it’s not a real city.

Ok. I agree. So why can’t I rent out my house on AirBnB when no one wants to come here anyways?

Please tell me where else in New York State there is a housing shortage and AirBnB is forcing people out of housing. I’ll wait.

Headline should read:

“Software took my job, literally”

10 years ago I replaced an entire department with custom software that automated their jobs. The department did manual data entry into an ERP system, feeding it the manufacturing data from the previous day. We did not automate it to be evil, we did it because humans make lots of mistakes. If you ask the human, they definitely typed it correctly and it there is a problem it’s a computer “bug”.

Miraculously the automated system has made exactly 0 typing errors in 10 years.

Gaming community reaction to new games in 2023:

Starfield: install these community mods to get the game to look good, 9/10, GOTY candidate

Jedi Survivor: some performance issues but overall complete, 2/10

Diablo 4: technically flawless, 0/10, wanted Diablo 3

BG3: same issues as Jedi Survivor but no one cares, 10/10, definite GOTY

Yes. I live in a cold climate. I can remotely start my car with my phone and it’s defrosted and heated before I drive. It’s awesome. And then I get exact directions that re-route me based on traffic conditions. The efficiency gains are incredible. I love technology.

You save the environment by using a car for as long as possible. Genius.

The total natural resources consumed to make an entire new car is much, much worse than an oil leak on a car that was already produced. Please, stay in school.

arguing with people that thought they knew more than I did about a field I’ve worked in for 20+ years.

LOL. Yea, I work in IT and have to listen to boomers tell me about their 30 years of IT experience and why I’m wrong.

They mistake 30 year old experience that is no longer relevant with practical experience that is relevant today. It’s a subtle but important difference. In my experience, the people who have to prove themselves by telling you about how much experience they have are the least competent.

Results will dictate how competent you are. Not how much experience you claim to have.

Can you link me to lucid dream training that was created by someone that holds a doctorate of medicine?

I’ll wait. Thanks.

No offense, but that’s like pissing into the wind. As you know, business drives IT adoption. We have 50 engineers that can only use Windows because we depend on Autodesk software. We spend $50k per year on Office E5. I, as an individual, will never spend in my lifetime, what I spend in 1 year at work, with Microsoft. I’m not saying this to brag, but to give perspective. It’s how you have to drive Linux adoption too.

It is my opinion that the iPhone became successful because it supplanted Blackberry as the preferred corporate phone. At the time, the iphone did not play nice with any IT management system (like Active Directory). IT staff hated it, but we couldn’t say no because there was no equivalent alternative, Corporate adoption drove the iPhone’s success. Linux needs to do something that no one else is doing well.

No, it’s not. Racism is very simple.

No. Racism is prejudice based on skin color. Please consult your closest dictionary. To be clear, there are lots of social problems, and there are different words to describe those problems. You want to redefine racism because you want to be racist towards white people.

Racism is prejudice based on skin color.

Pot, meet kettle. It was a racist comment. Calling people who are offended by racism “thin skinned” is telling.
