Would it really be unexpected? They’ve blatantly shown how they want to milk us for every little, incremental improvement that barely qualifies as a sidegrade sometimes.
Hi, I’m Miss Brainfart.
I’m afraid of sharks, with the exception being blåhaj. What could that possibly mean, huh.
(That’s not a hint, I genuinely have no idea)
Lemmings can also find me @miss_brainfart:catgirl.cloud on Matrix, if they desire to do so for e2ee reasons

I’d like to say they can only get better than the current generation, but it is Intel we’re talking about.
I sure do
Yeah, that’s a fair point. It would be more exciting if it wasn’t procedurally generated, and that those mountaintops actually have something important to the gameplay or story explicitely placed there.
Then it would at least make a bit more sense to talk about how climbable those huge mountains are.
Every time I read about Everest, I can’t not think about how the base camp is already higher than anything that exists in the alps
Crazy
Is that really a huge claim though? A big mountain you can climb over isn’t particularly exciting in the current realm of technical possibilities.
He’s just good at making it sound cool, I guess.
Yeah, the size dictates what’s possible and what isn’t, and that’s absolutely fair.
But hey, this is just a first trailer, so we shouldn’t really make any assumptions, good or bad. Let’s just wait and see.
It’s still procedurally generated, no? I’d have loved something handcrafted, but I also understand that they want to build on what they already have.
What is your stance on being able to give encryption keys to a third party without the other participants of a chat consenting, let alone knowing about it?
If someone in my contacts used bridges, effectively breaking e2ee, I’d want to know about it.
Ideally, people should not be allowed to do that without informing their contacts, at the very least.
You can just add lists to uBlock to your hearts content, though?
Isn’t it funny how Nvidia wants you to use upscaling so badly for Raytracing to perform as well as they market it to, but then Raytracing itself needs more VRAM to run properly in the first place?
Nothing about their products makes any technical sense anymore, it really is just one giant middle finger at this point
That’s true, but unless you’re 100% sure that you’ll only ever run a workload that fits those specs, I think you’d rather like having the extra memory.
The M3 is powerful enough that even 32GB can be a constraint for what you’d be able to run on it
Apple fans have a very different definition of the word convenience than I do, then.
It’s so annoying. They have the whole design industry by their balls with their great displays and perfect colour management in MacOS.
Putting more RAM in those models, or just cutting the lower-end models out entirely would do them no harm at all.
They could just sell appropriately specced computers and make absolute bank like they do anyway, but nooo, that would be too nice of them.
We’ll see how it plays out. Have the lawmakers even thought about if and how services have to inform users between one another about their respective TOS?
Like, I wouldn’t want to connect to another service before being presented with their terms and privacy policy. Only then should I be able to make a (now informed) decision on whether I want to do it or not.
I guess it all boils down to why you use a certain service. I use Signal to avoid having my messages handled by a service that belongs to Meta. Texting with a WhatsApp user would defeat the whole point for me.
Smaller services like Signal wouldn’t be forced to do it though, since they don’t pass the threshold to be considered a gatekeeper.
So we’ll have a situation where WhatsApp is forced to open up, but barely any of the private services will actually make use of it.
I can also see WhatsApp users being even less motivated to switch to better alternatives if everything was interoperable, so we go right back to its huge userbase being a problem anyway.
Idk, I honestly don’t see this law changing much in the messaging space. Though I will never disagree with consumers having more options.
That is exactly what Apple would say, isn’t it
Pairing a chip this capable with just 8GB of shared memory is also just a waste of good silicon. Which makes the price all the more insulting to me.
Like, this is the equivalent of Usain Bolt losing one of his legs
Honestly, I actually respect the meme. What was there first, a fridge? Now a toaster? Maybe a microwave next?
It’s so stupid that it’s kinda funny to me
