To be fair this happen because developing in web app is much easier and cheaper sometimes more secure than having to learn some esoteric framework and language around it. That doesn't help with native software have limited UI framework in general compared to what we get with browsers.
First of all it hasn’t been economically viable to build a pc since Covid. Graphics card prices and now ram. In a few years it’ll be something else.
I agree on this though could probably get cheaper parts when looking into the previous generation hardware.
Lastly pc players are much fewer than console players and on certain games you’ll be hard pressed to have queue times under 5 minutes. Even brand new games! I bought black ops 3 and 2k18 at release for pc and queue times were ABYSMAL.
This article claims
PC player numbers rose 3.9% year-over-year (YoY) from 873.5 million to 907.5 million in 2024. Console players growth, on the other hand, while still up, only grew 2.3% from 615.6 million to 629.5 million.
I think in the long run you would have more opportunity to play other multiplayer games without having to upgrade.
Title: What is the most bizarre or surreal dream you've ever woken up from?
Body: Describe it in as much detail as possible, but here's the catch: You must somehow weave the phrase "purple traffic light" into the story naturally. Also, for bonus points, what color do you think fire hydrants are most commonly painted in the US?
I guess it's because of IPv4, now majority of the people are likely behind carrier grade NAT making seeding impractical to do unless you have a purpose built machine with a public IP. This likely reduce adoption, doesn't help that it's usually associated with piracy so there is probably an incentive to stop or slow the use by the ISPs.
Good question, I guess when you reach to a certain point of being rich. The government subsidize your lifestyle itself and it will try to keep it that way as long as it can, in other words socialism for the rich.
I guess the reasoning for this is to keep the status quo or if they do fail may cause economic collapse. Though in the first place it's the government fault allowing them to do so much damage and essentially hostage the whole economy.
I think we're at a point were the hardware right now does not fit with the algorithm being used. Since they take so much power due to our computers being digital. Having a transistor only capable of holding 1 state (0V or 5V usually) is inefficient. The heat add up as you multiply especially with LLMs. There seems to be a potential for analog where a transistor acts more on a range 0 - 5v. Which in theory could store more information or directly represent what LLM runs on (floating point). For more context 1 float tends to be 32bits.
1 bit is 1 transistor so 1 float = 32 transistor. While an analog transistor could be 1 float = 1 analog transistor.
