  • Saying that hardware price increase is good cause it forces the devs to optimize is not as good as it seems.

  • They can just buy used shit and not play at 4k resolution with 120fps. That stuff will also last longer now.

    I just spent a few hundred to upgrade my gaming computer. I bought an old amd r5 5600x from 2020 for $150 and an old amd rx 6600 xt that came out 5 years ago.

    I'm more than happy to let the "ever more demanding giant game" trend disappear. Half the games I play use pixel art graphics anyhow. If this pushes devs to make smaller and more creative games that run on decade old systems to reach the most gamers, I'm fine with this, still. Less e waste. Less constant feeling of needing newer components. Less bloatware from shitty games that want 100+GB storage.

    Before prices get outrageous on 5+ year old components all these bullshit AI and data centers buying up everything will be dumping the current high end stuff out on the market to make way for newer stuff. And that's IF the ai bubble doesn't burst beforehand.

  • If you ditched your car, could you afford to leave the suburbs for a great urban neighborhood?

    Jump

  • Yeah. E bikes and one wheels and stuff are total fun. I'm hoping to live in one of the Goldilocks zones where you can be near a city and travel everywhere by bike without needing to get on a highway. As it stands, * have to pack my bike in a car and drive out somewhere to ride, and that just sucks.

  • The mystery of nuclear 'magic numbers' has finally been resolved

    Jump

  • The type of smoke detectors that use radiation (ionization type) are kind of being phased out. How they work (which is quite clever) are a bit inferior at early and reliable detection compared to photoelectric. You can also keep photoelectric ones closer to your kitchen without them going off every time you cook some bacon or use the oven.

  • Your special needs student using a calculator has pretty much no bearing on this conversation.

  • US Government Deploys Elon Musk's Grok as Nutrition Bot, Where It Immediately Gives Advice for Rectal Use of Vegetables

    Jump

  • It said a small zucchini or a peeled cucumber. So that sounds about right?

  • Parents opt kids out of school laptops, ask for pen-and-paper

    Jump

  • Trying to keep old stuff alive in a digital world is stupid. I do think that kids need to learn to think and research on their own, so AI and grammar and spelling corrections should be disallowed from the laptops and Chromebooks. Having an algorithm fix everything for you and write your papers is developmentally bad.

  • Like how using the word "literally" somehow became not literal.

  • Haven't tried summit. Thunder is pretty close to a clone of what I was using on reddit before the api fiasco they had and I bailed. Relay for reddit.

  • what the US is doing to Cuba right now is one of the most barbaric crimes in its history.

    Jump

  • The sanctions really should have ended when Castro died at the latest, but I still won't call Cuba a socialist country. It's a communist one. It's under a high amount of control. You'll get thrown in prison for criticism, internet access is limited, and not everyone is on an equal footing there. Communist or not, the sanctions are still completely bullshit.

  • I've been using "Thunder" and so far it's done a pretty wonderful job of things. Very easy to view and scroll on a phone. A lot of options you can set and customize.

  • I gotta argue against the games costing more compared to cola. A new Nintendo game in 1988 was $40 to $50. At that time hamburger was 99 cents, a value meal from a fast food place was $4, a house was $80,000, a new car was $10k to $18k, and you were pretty much a Middle class family if you made $45k\year. Some original NES games even hit $60 a piece.

    So videogames are one of the few things that haven't kept with inflation. In no small part due to more people purchasing games and less physical overhead, but that doesn't take away from my stance. 40 years later and a game price has gone up by like $20.
