tbh not in the mood to argue with you about it. if your a hasan fan. fair enough. i’m not. as i said i dont consider him as bad as elon, not even in the same ball park. but i still consider him shit. i was even subscribed to him a few years ago. i’ve seen enough first hand. my views on him arent filtered through takes of others.

so i was about to give you the win by going silent and just leave it be.

but:

i hope you realize how much right wing propaganda has gotten to you.

fuck off. get bent. posted as a leftist.

wouldnt go as far as saying that hasan is a decent human being. no doubt, i rank im way higher than elmo. but that guy is still problematic on so many levels even if his believes align here there with my own. but to apply even more nuance to my shitpost: the most unfair part of my post was to generelise an individual single dev beeing the entirety of the soulless corporation of ubisoft.

/hmm, lots of fans around here. idk how one can fall for this disingenuous fuckface. but you do you.

Hasan, Elon and Ubisoft… what is this, a shit triangle?

i dont get why you go out of your way not to mention the complaints were racist in nature. its not about some people complaining they dont like ac because its a mediocre franchise when it comes to gameplay or smth like that.

read the article before you type out a comment under it maybe. hint: you missed the point entirely.

Sweet, this was one of the pain points with my pixel. Just felt so much more clunky than it needed to be.

oh god, please dont. idgaf about iphones. but the android side tends to copy those dickheads. fml

Yeah, it will be interesting to see how this pans out. With that calender anecdote i just wanted say that its already slowly happening.

Also this horrible made with AI trailer for ARK Evolved just dropped a few days ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2eCWWaCzwQ

For now i’m at the point where when i see a company use AI in any obvious way their legitimacy drops in instant to rock bottom. But i can see that easily change over the years if this just becomes common practice and i start to dont give a shit anymore.

Already spotted two calenders with AI “art” in the wild. Both were calenders which are given away by companies for free as marketing.

I understand why but i still hate it tbh. First because a day where i dont spot ai slop is a good day and second is the implication that now in atleast two cases not a single legimate artist got paid. Sucks.

I tend to make falafels myself. The “correct” way with the dried chickpeas is tedious, though. Watering them the day before, then mincing them the next day and so on. But with cooked and canned chickpeas you can make falafels too. The secret ingridient is a bit of starch and flour to bind the falafel mass. Without that the falafels would fall apart in the pan. But with that in mind i have my falafel “dough” made in under half an hour. Chickpeas, diced onions, diced garlic, the usual herbs(or get creative), starch, flour all go in to a bowl. I crush the peas with a fork at the start. Leaving some unbroken for better mouthfeel. Then just knead the dough until its uniform. If you keep your hands watered the dough doesnt stick to much to your hands when forming the balls.

The “water” from the chickpea can can be used to make a vegan mayonaise(ish) sauce and a lot of other stuff btw.

Its a bit more work then just ready to be cooked stuff but just make one time a bulk of them and then freeze them. Idk how the stuff in canade tastes. But atleast here most of the ready to eat stuff is so much worse than selfmade.

I ran geekbench on my pixel 7 with both the stable and beta branch of grapheneos. No difference between the branches. Didnt see any performance numbers like in the article. It scored higher than run to run variance compared to the average geekbench presents though.

and thats why i finally gave up two years ago and bought a pixel and installed grapheneOS. also i just dont use shitty apps anymore. its a good life

The stagnant ram/storage situation weirds me out. Dont get me wrong 6/8GB ram and 128GB rom served, serves and will serve me well. But damn i bought a phone in 2019 for 300€ with the same specs and 6 years later i’m expected to pay almost double the price for the same. Doesnt make any sense to me from a consumer perspective. Yeah the SOC is faster, the cameras a bit better and the screen gets brighter. But there is no reason for me to upgrade unless support ends for my current phone or it just breaks.

The only compelling feature i see in the forseeable future is the whole desktopmode and virtualization thing. If done competently i would pay for that since i dabbled with the idea a lot in the last few years. It just was shit from the software stack standpoint. But then give me 12-16gb of ram and atleast 512gb of storage for lets say 600€ or less.

Oh yeah, this article was about gemini ai. Well i dont give a shit.

This is a weird one for me.

When the first Wreckfest(back then Next Car Game) launched as a crowdfunded game 12(?) years ago as an early access title it made sense. Flat Out as a franchise wasnt in their hands anymore and it hit rockbottom. So to develop a new game in a genre which had no competitor at the time with the community was compelling. Ngl the development was rocky at times. But in the end they made a super good game. THQ Nordiq got on board and with that funds for very big improvements in the tech it dearly needed. At times the game barely ran on high end PCs. But the engine got optimized so well it started to run well on the (now)last-gen consoles, then the switch and even mobile phones. But with that came also a lot of additions i really disliked. The physics got nerfed for the consoles but also on the PC, DLC galore, FOMO weekly events, the pretty realistic(ish) focus on folk racing shifted more into Flat Out 2 madness. The current game is very different to 1.0 . Not all for the better IMHO(!)

Either way: They again have a franchise with name recognition, they have a decently modern engine and game with lots of content to build upon and a publisher with funds. I dont see why an early access is needed? Especially in this super bare bones form with barely any cars or tracks(some even lifted from the last game) and nothing(!) else. I’ve put hundreds of hours into the last game. I still love it. Also i could really use finally a fresh new racing title after all the disappointments in the last years. But this… in this form isnt it. Especially knowing the community feedback might get thrown out in the future when the money man make decision. Meh

i’m way less concerned since i read the question correctly the second time.

My first thought went to those M-Disk/BDXL bluray disks which supposed to last 1000 years if you believe the claims. So with 100gb per disk you would need atleast 1000 disks. Probably more since the data probably wont perfectly fill out each disk. Writing to optical media is slow and according to the very first searchresult i found it takes upwards of 3hrs to write and verify a single disk. So with a single drive it would take atleast north of 3000 hours if nothing goes wrong. A year has ~8760 hours btw. Oh boi.

But i wouldnt want to rely on a single copy of each disk. If the data is so important i would like to have atleast 10 copies? So the year would probably consist of only maintaining and repairing several burning rigs and going through like 35.000 edit: 11.000 blurays and then finding spots to safely store them.

But how will they read the data of the disks in the future? Blurays and todays data formats most likely wont exist anymore. So you would need several redundant PCs with bluray drives which hopefully last that long. The HDD/SSD wont last in them. Linux live disks burned on the blurays? On top foolproof documentation how to operate all that ancient shit.

My head hurts

*In older versions, he has not been able to use DLSS4 at all. *

Are they even proof reading their articles? Its not surprising they couldnt use DLSS4 before it existed.

Classic example of Betteridge’s law of headlines

So the whole article boils down to: I don’t see an immediate technological revolution coming, but rather evolutionary steps. or just no!

i dont get it. that kind of hardware could have been had for the same money 4 years ago. the only upgrade is the max brightness compared to back then. like yeah, i’m also surprised what you get for 200$ because there hasnt been a meaningful price/performance uplift in years.
