Kid's game? Tiny Tina/Borderlands is a huge franchise in gaming. I think its clear these two games were chosen because the cell-shaded style they use is less GPU demanding, but its still impressive. But note things like Cyberpunk

63 fps on Cyberpunk 2077 which when it came out was "unplayable but on the most powerful PCs" is incredibly impressive without a GPU. This is pretty close to my 2070 GPU does, which cost me $400+ a couple years ago and uses 215W.

“[C]ollision and damage repairs on an EV can often run about twice that associated with a comparable combustion engine vehicle,” Hertz CEO Stephen Scherr said in a recent analyst call. --- This is concerning. These cars are essentially deli

On the flipside, its not as obvious what coal burning exhaust has done to other parts of the biome. I imagine its extremely damaging. Not to mention, what it does to human lungs. Evolution didn't create all this life with the assumptio

I feel like we're at some weird technological historical point where we have IoT everywhere but we aren't passwordless yet. So we're polluting our world with IoT devices like this but they ship with "admin/password&

Also this should be a massive warning to companies, non-profits, and governments who think "Sure, Elon is mismanaging this and platforming the worst people and making it a cult of personality, but its not that bad. We get to reach a lo

Its sad to think web 2.0 so long ago was a move towards more human centric websites, UI's, AJAXy sites, etc and now web3 is just a marketing term for fraudsters, exit scammers, shady VC's, and criminals. The late-stage capitalism

Chicago to LA is about 2,000 miles. So in the article about 200 miles driving (in California) is 1 in a million chance of dying. So lets use that number nationwide to be lazy. Now we can move a decimal point over. So the death chances of a

Billboards can be taken down. Fashion comes and goes. Kitchens can be redone. Hair grows back. Things on the moon are permanent until launching is 1000x cheaper. Even then, who would pay to clean up and what property rights are in play? Let

Just a small correction, Yanis was the minister of finance, under the PM, who at the time was Alexis Tsipras.

Great comment. ZIRP is endless stock buybacks and $boomer_rock_band or $expensive_celebrity speaking at your conference. Those are capital owner and executive benefits and don't drive the product or curate new customers. Tony Hawk at t

Its odd to me that the "logical" and "scientific" types, or self-styled types, sing the praises of cannabis, but there's no mechanism in evolution to make this a healthy drug for us. Its just an accident of history

Wait until you find out that in a capitalist society a lot of that kind of education is frowned upon as anti-business and anti-capitalist. The problem is that what you think of a "scam" is in a category of actions that businesses

I can't imagine that being true. The Nazi's learned a lot from the US's eugenics and segregation programs and the Soviets, while progressive on women's issues, were just as homophobic, ableist, and racist. I imagine ther

That's fair but Rober does the standard "Youtube voice" and persona popular in many demographics. I don't think its fair to say this is something unique to 5th grader audience YT's. This is practiced persona that le

Essentially all these stories are apocryphal. Even this vapor lock story. Sorry but even before today, having a automotive engineer sent to a random person's home over what clearly sounds like a quack letter seems implausible to me. Th

Its the male "comedic" friendly voice. Essentially its a learned affectation to come off as approachable and unthreatening (see also Jimmy Fallon) to garner views. Read a "boring" technical article at Ars or watch this g

Win95 was very much sold in the internet age. In fact, its large marketing push was mostly about how easy it was to get online. We are not discussing 1985 here. By the mid to late 90s, internet access was greatly normalized.

Not in a narrative-like way. You can't get Ahsoka's long backstory by just having her pose looking sad holding a lightsaber.

tbf television is a very limiting medium. If you tried "show dont tell" for that much exposition you'd be several episodes in. Ahsoka just requires too much backstory for non-Star Wars addicts. Its a show designed for casual

LO for Windows launches with a launcher that pre-loads it a boot time. I find Writer to be pretty pleasantly light-weight on a modern computer. A lot of its performance shortcomings are a bit exaggerated especially on modern equipment.

Everything MS does is for the business case. Wordpad, windows, etc exist only in a capitalist context and need a financial justification to exist. It was there exactly for the reasons you state, to kill the word processor market in Windows.

Wikipedia: Unlike DDR4, all DDR5 chips have on-die ECC, where errors are detected and corrected before sending data to the CPU. This, however, is not the same as true ECC memory with extra data correction chips on the memory module. So I&#

The land of contrasts is very much a simpsons reference. The bit about giant worms is a dune reference. I also like how they have both reliable and undependable communications: Even though we have reliable telecommunications throughout the

This is also a great commentary on the inherit untrustworthiness of for-profit corporations. From a capitalist perspective trading the security of your users for some early commercial advantage like those 1977 algos from the NSA is "wo

Reddit as a whole is absolutely a community and the default subs and the comments in them reflect that. Its also one that brigades a lot into other subs, so there's a "real reddit" you see and its absolutely right-leaning.

But the coup was unsuccessful solely by dumb luck! Is not the ringing endorsement of American stability and greatness you think it is. Especially when none of the coup planners have been charged, let alone imprisoned.
