I mean devices with non-replacable batteries, once the battery fails the entire device must be replaced. Single used then trash.

Fuck the flavours, ban single use batteries in every application.

Was there an accident or were you born with your colon terminating inside your skull?

Titanfall 2 is 9 years old and looks pretty damned good compared to recent releases. The biggest jump I have seen in graphics was HL:Alyx and a lot of that was VR letting you press your eyeballs up against the windows to see the sweaty hand prints.

There is plenty of room for publishers improve without leaning on new hardware features.

Game development is about maximizing revenue while minimizing development costs. There won’t be many more Mysts, Dooms, Quakes or Half Life 2s in the gaming future. Get ready for “Generative AI” stories/levels and ever increasing hardware feature set requirements.

Game engines don’t have to simulate sound pressure waves bouncing off surfaces to get good audio. They don’t have to simulate all the atoms in objects to get good physics. There’s no reason to have to simulate photons to get good lighting. This is a way to lower dev costs and increase spending on the consumer side, I would not be surprised if Nvidia was incentivizing publishers to use ray tracing.

The Canadian government is in favor of anti-union behaviour. See the last year of strikes and government intervention.

I bought a ThinkPad in 2022 and I think it will be my last. All the things I loved them for are now an optional extra or just gone altogether :/

CBC has slid very far to the right in the past year. Loads of anti-union, anti-electrification, pro-landlord, pro-privatization stuff. I’m not sure if they are trying to butter up the incoming government or if they just realized that rage-bait gets more clicks.

Ever looked at the list of pre-revoked certs that comes on a new mobo? It seems like this is not a new flavour of fuckup.

I fully endorse fights to the death between politicians to settle mundane bureaucratic questions.

I work under several foreign trained engineers, the quality of their work is absolutely unacceptable and has cost ridiculous sums of money. Anyone who intends to work in Canada in a job which requires a degree or years of training should be examined with just as much scrutiny as Canadian students.

Anecdote != evidence but god damnt, if you can’t find 1000 stories exactly like mine.

Fuck Nintendo. I would pay 60 bucks a game to get my entire N64 and NES library back but Nintendo will never make the bulk their older games available.

If your business relies on a constant stream imported people it’s not a business, it’s a ponzi.

Cheating is a way to win. says cheaters.
