LTSC is “only” available through an enterprise licensing through Microsoft or its partners, which means you can probably ask a company or organization for one of their volume keys, and will probably be the only Windows where you can permanently disable Recall…

Like seriously, I had problems disabling telemetry in Windows 10 Pro because it kept re-enabling them, but not in the LTSC version.

…did you search “MassGrave”?

Maybe, depending upon how it is implemented.

If they somehow use those AMD NPU’s as accelerators to handle spatial recognition, then it might be possible to at least add some of the needed functionality behind AR/VR without pounding the APU.

Or, considering it might be ARM, it might be an in-house or even AMD designed SoC with all the necessary bells and whistles to implement at the very least AR.

I’d buy the heck out of an AMD ARM device.

The LSTC edition has a few more years in it… but I wouldn’t do MASS in a GRAVE… ehr, I mean - fuck.

Look, just search for “MassGrave” on GitHub.

Damn, the incantation failed.

Time to bring out the billy goat.

At that point, people were curious and decided to go deeper into the engine. Low and behold, it’s a game engine, based entirely on telemetry technology.

Here’s what’s gonna happen.

Other outfits are going to make NPUs so fast that no GPU can compare. Even an architecture such as NVIDIA’s will be price-wise too expensive to be of interest for any AI outfit.

Then, either NVIDIA pivots so hard, they pivot themselves out of the GPU industry, or…

They come crawling back.

Just randomly encrypting your application executables and forcing you to run the application inside a Windows VM on Azure - and paying for it, a.k.a Execution as a Service (or EaaS for short)…

I’m not even joking, that could happen.

You’ll have Euro Truck Simulator running in your brains.

Aaaaw, so cute ^_ This is what they’ll have running inside your brain when they put us all into capsules. You’ll have cables up your butt, but your capsule will also be a suppository that might be shoved up into the hive minds sphincter, which tightens and loosens depending upon optimal dopamine distribution, so that millions of others can also benefit from your heightened cortisol levels. Lucky you.

Well of course it is… you gotta render the service paid for lol let the Russian oligarchs get their money’s worth.

Gamers to game Devs: “oh sweetie, let me hold you…”

Gamers to game publishers: “you donkey!”

As it should be.

I’m guessing it’s the Wifi business that’s going to be sold. Also, the prefabs might be spun off. But Intel still needs a GPU division, if at the very least just for integrated GPUs, but we might see the end of dedicated Intel GPU’s as they pivot to compete against AMD’s APU’s.

That’s my take, at least.

What’s Meta need a bunch of fascist Christian nationalists for? It’s not like they have an overlapping demograph-oh yeah, ofc.

Mark Zuckerbot sure is a shrew bastard. Elon Musk wishes he had his computational brain.

The problem with automating everything is that suddenly consumers have no money to spend on products and services… you know what that means.

Universal Basic Income

That, or an oligarchy class keeps a distance between themselves and 99% of the people via privatised security, or even national security.

So socialism, or a return to the aristocracy. Take your pick.

This, and Bangladesh. All places that rely on wage slavery, child labour and unethical working conditions, because that which is unethical is also very cheap.

You can’t really compete with slavery, because again: it’s very cheap, and the way the Chinese state leads Chinese farmers and villagers into social lock-ins, whereby they legally become stuck in an area where there’s only grueling, deadly, soul crushing and back breaking labour that leads to a life of poverty becomes a problem for the rest of the world if it’s used to manipulate the markets.

I do of course realise this article is about “too big to fail” companies that corner every market, but I also think that the west and the east needs to think about what it means to partake in a race to the bottom where wage slavery is part and parcel of the market. It creates conditions whereby competition involves who can make the most horrible living conditions in the world, and do you really want that?

There are Chinese labourer families who have been trying to “pull themselves up by their bootstraps” for generations now, and it’s all thanks to other nations enabling the Chinese regime - especially the west.

Yeah? If you play Shadow Warrior you get Viscera Cleaning Service, so you can be the killer and the cleaning service.

This is why Godot is so important and that source available can be something the EU has to consider for all newly designed games. Sorry, small, mid and big time game studios, and screw you publishers, what we need is to make sure that the barrier to entry for game developers is significantly lowered. What, you think I’m taking about video game conservation? Leave that to AccursedFarms.

What I’m saying is that you can more easily pitch games to publishers, using assets and engines that are already “standardised”, like Bethesda’s several Rube Goldberg machines, if they are available. I’m looking at Fallout London as saying to myself: why isn’t this on Steam, Switch, and every other platform Fallout 4 can run on, being sold by Bethesda?

Even split prices, one for people who already owned Fallout 4, one for who recently purchased Fallout 4 if they don’t have Fallout 4 - if you wanna be pedantic. But the point remains the same: these lovely modder devs, though they shouldn’t be forced, could have pitched this game to Bethesda, even as an “off-universe” game. Whatever.

But then we remember the Fallout 76 Store. Oh my god, no. And DMCA takedowns, claims of copyright infringement - even though “modified works” doesn’t exclude software - and what about actual live services and competitive games? Like could the community make the server instead? Can it be something even the Olympic Committee has a hand in, so the game can be vetted for the Olympics?

Like update your EULA. “May be used, modified and deployed for free if it’s used for education and development purposes”. I’m not a lawyer, so take them scribblings with a grain of salt, but something like that would really just add an extra level in participation in schools, clubs, organisations, etc, even as an easy way to recruit and receive games and new worlds, for free.

Free the engine! Free all of the engines! NOW!!! “The secret sauce” fallacy has been stupid, is stupid right now, and will continue to be stupid into the future - unless we do something about it.

Free the engines!
