i mean of course youre going to have a conclusion like that polling exclusively mobile game players. For example had they polled female MMO players (there are a lot), the results would likely be far different.

for reference, 180nm is 1999 tech. the tech that was used for the PS2/Gamecube.

The released Jaguars have been mating with the local cougars

the director himself is usually the one who comes out and explains it and whats happening behind the scenes. Hence when they address it, he will be talking as himself as rather the team in official blogposts. Theyve been litigious against mods early in the year so youd be hard pressed to think they want it there.

generally speaking, most mmo companies have a similar clause and they take mods on a case by case basis. FF14 is the only one that constantly reminds people Moddings Bad Mkay, don’t do it, and actually acts (bans) on it.

FF14 devs have historically been anti modding, arguably the most anti mod stance of all the major mmos, so i dont know why theyre complaining now.

they do so pretty publicly as well

Nvidia’s stuff is AI, but things like MadVR and stuff aren’t. Even older upscales like ESRGAN is ML based, but not necessarily AI, as the terms been pretty diluted. if anyone wants to CLAIM that its AI, then you’d have to understand many of these algorithms existed before the modern use of FP16/FP8/Int8 based acceleration existed which defines the modern AI stuff.

I should also mention, the Shield Pro’s upscale was also pre Turing. the Nvidia Tegra X1 is Maxwell based.

Nvidia has been upscaling content for users using the Nvidia shield since I think the 2019 revision, and I think offers the driver level video streaming upscale since 2023 with RTX Video Super Resolution. The concept isn’t exactly new (and there are video players that basically have 3rd party upscale algorithms, doesn’t need to be “AI” to do so)

iirc theyre active on reddit talking about the situation. basically bloomberg lawyers probably striked it for a segment they included in the video, but GN thinks theyre fine because itll be covered by fair use. Basically nothing to do with the parties involved in the topics of the video.

black friday died when it became a normie holiday for sales. part of the reason why black friday worked before hand was that buyers are 100% aware of the product theyre buying and how much it is valued. anythings a “sale” if you’re selling it to an audience that doesn’t know what it was normally priced.

to be fair, the drive in question is a NAS drive, which is not a backup drive by its intended default usecase, unless you slapped it in a nas thats stored as a cloud storage in an offsite location.

its just a matter of people understanding that data redundancy is not a backup, just a level of data safeguard, as it only partially covers some of the forms of data loss and not all of them (e.g not immune to physical methods of data loss like fires, floods and stuff)

tldr for people

80% of people who took said Vaccine (theres 3 being tested in various first/booster configurations) have antibodies against HIV.

6% developed varying levels of hives/rashes ranging from weeks to years. Currently unknown what in the HIV/mRNA usages causes the rashes.

not yet, but the wikimedia foundation has been fighting against it expecting that it would be a class 1 site and require it.

ah from shady porn sites, like spotify and wikipedia. definitely protect kids from porn there.

back when Shin Sekai Yori aired, the yaoi jumpscare of Episode 8 caused a lot of people to drop the (very good) sci fi anime.

cant you go to like about:memory and it breaks down whats using ram?

chimps providing proof that tails and ear fluff is desireable, therefor kemonomimi is endgame looks

people are always resistant to changing habits

how i see it, pcgamer sometimes has high effort posts like this and other times has some really low effort posts, sometimes almost cyclical as they often use the same image pool over several topics (e.g its a meme that anything witcher related, pcgamer will use geralt in a tub as a header image)

because of the less serious posts, it kinda blots out the more serious ones.

if you have a garage, design a method to basically ensure your garage door is closed without you needing to go back to check.

of course if you trust yourself with never making that mistake.

last thing you want to feel is if you remembered to close the door or not and youre already far off
