More like Sony doesn’t want to cannibalize selling their own dedicated Blu-ray players for a much higher profit margin.

A $100 bluray drive, an Ugoos am6, and coreelec can get play everything for way less than a high end bluray player that can cost $1000.

Shame it doesn’t support dolby vision though.

Not in one exposure. Human eyes are much better with dealing with extremely high contrasts.

Cameras can be much more sensitive, but at the cost of overexposing brighter regions in an image.

While pork and poultry are not great for the environment either, they have nothing on the methane emissions of ruminating animals like cows.

No he doesn’t have talking points. He just spouts whatever bs gets him the most attention true or not

They’ve had fab problems for years, in that it cost them a ton on money and much longer than desired to shrink nodes, so they’ve fallen from a leader in fab production to being behind.

Not to mention there’s not much money to be made from fabs, unless your tsmc.

AMD, Qualcomm, Nvidia, Google, Apple, are all huge tech companies that design their own cutting edge chips, and only Samsung is another company that both designs and produces chips.

Ehh mastodon and lemmy don’t see a ton of cross talk. Threads is mainly going to affect mastodon instances.

Huh, well I got myself a galaxy watch 6 for like $200, and so far it seems solid.

It easily lasts a day, could probably go for 2 if I tried.

. 5% in a swing state is not nothing, could very much make the election in a state like Pennsylvania.

Diversity is important, but it’s still better to go after larger sources of energy first. There’s just not much energy to be recovered from falling rain or waste from cars.

Make the cars waste less energy, or the transit system in general is much easier and will actually save money long term.

Ehh it’s still a rubbish idea, that money would be much better spent going after primary producers of energy, like solar, wind, geothermal, or nuclear.

Some napkin math and an equivalent area of solar, say over a road or parking lot would produce 3.5 million kwh in a year.

I am confused, the gear s3 came out in 2016, so even 2 years ago it was already 6 years old.

That is not what I would consider new smartwatches these days.

I mean the books are great too, apparently they’re even better in it’s native language.

I have grown up pretty much my entire life hearing and thinking that protests are the way to bring about change, but everyone conveniently leaves out the fact that you have to build that political movement too.

People want to show up for a protest and be done, many people don’t want to do the work to be an activist and work for change, and honestly I don’t blame them.

Hell I know people who went to BLM protests, Palestine protests and pro choice protests… But don’t vote, so sorry if I seem overly critical of protesting. I’m just sick of prevalent idea that it’s all you need to do.

People didn’t buy the last mini, so why would Apple do it again?

No, not really. One of the great america propagandizing myths is that protests are effective. They’re not, they can easily be ignored. What does work is organized strikes and planned disruptions of key targets with protests.

In certain forms, or in conjunction with other forms of activism it can still work. For example tree sit ins to prevent logging.

Occupy wall street, BLM, the protests when Row v Wade were overturned all largely accomplished nothing on their own.

Most people have pretty decent ai hardware already in the form of a gpu.

Sure dedicated hardware might be more efficient for mobile devices, but that’s already done better in the cloud.

Closest in the united States is a chevy bolt, but that’s still pretty far.

I’d love a fairly dumb ev. Give me just enough computer for battery/charging management and let me do the rest.

Are you getting a black psu? It might not look great in that case, depending on how well you can hide it.

I got a white corsair rmx750 and it came with nice white cables too.

With no gpu, the cables will probably be well hidden, but add a gpu and the black cables will stand out.

Imo coop is more similar to a single player game that you can play with other people. Baldurs gate is a rpg that you happen to be able to play with other people.

Another example would be deadspace 3.

Most PvE games on the other hand are not primarily story driven. Helldivers, deep rock galactic and such.

Something like left4dead covers both because its PvE but it also has a story.

Then games like palworld are more like survival MMOs. Coop in these games is more of an emergent gameplay, while in other coop games its essentially forced.

I don’t like putting these games together because story driven coop games are pretty rare, but PvE games don’t seem to be as rare.
