Sure. Fans work totally different when there’s a slightly newer processor.

Of course. And it will last for years.

The Steam Machine uses semi-custom processors.

Steam Machine uses old crap AMD had lying around. This is also why it’s not an APU design.

Companies like Asus fart out new designs every year. It’s doable if the design pipeline if efficient enough.

changing the design now

Not now. When RAM prices started skyrocketing. That wasn’t only today or yesterday.

The point of shitty old processors was to get them cheap. Now that RAM and storage are the biggest factors, they could have gone with newer processors and not be significantly more expensive but significantly more performant.

Edge is pretty much dead.

I honestly don’t know why. If you are a Windows user and don’t care about privacy, you may just as well stick with Edge. As a Chromium web browser by a megacorp, it’s in no way worse than Chrome.

Remember “Hour of Code”?

Actually no

I’m not one of them, but what makes them idiots? Seems kind of uncalled for.

It’s obviously a play on the common phrase that the honest guy ends up being the idiot. Not because the honest guy is stupid but because the honesty ends up backfiring. It’s used all the time in video game DRM contexts.

Why did you link to another Lemmy post instead of submitting the article?

Would you prefer being a subject of Intel and AMD’s perpetual x86 duopoly forever?

That’s not how patents work. x64 patents lapse sometime THIS YEAR. Everyone can make 64bit x86 CPUs.

RISC-V and ARM exist. You can buy laptops based on either of these architectures for a very reasonable price, compared to Intel and AMD’s x86 offerings.

Have fun dealing with that Device Tree bullshit because hardware autodetection is so 1998.

Gaming industry is way bigger than movie industry. Almost everyone plays games.

Most money goes into mobile money traps, though.

Same reason GabeN switched.

Took him a while, though. Remember that he was originally employed by Microsoft and when he founded Valve and they licensed the Quake 1 engine, among the first things they did was to port the engine to Microsoft Direct3D (luckily they kept the OpenGL renderer because back then Direct3D ran worse).

That’s pretty much what GNU is about, just technologically superior.

The headline is claiming that.

Welcome to the internet and clickbait headlines.

let’s not pretend they’re solely responsible for the memory pricing crisis.

Nobody is claiming that. Did you even read the literal first sentence of the article?

the memory pricing crisis that its own AI ambitions are helping cause

I really don’t get this latest series if tantrums from LibreOffice/The Document Foundation. They are attacking every other up-and-coming open source document project.

That’s how Italo Vignoli is. He’s been a source of toxic hatred even back in the OpenOffice split days, when Sun handed OpenOffice to Apache, he attacked OO because they didn’t transfer the trademark to him.

The same happened more recently with Collabora Office. Collabora developed a web frontend for LibreOffice, for whatever reason not as part of the LibreOffice project, then Collabora’s LO contributors were kicked out of TDF / LO development, and then TDF announced a competitor.

I keep using LO because as a tool it works for me but every single time I see statements by Italo Vignoli, he comes off as totally unbearable.

Huh? I thought that Would of Assassination rolled all older games into one.

An international team of physicists has achieved a breakthrough in understanding something that has puzzled scientists for decades: the discrepancy between experimental measurements and theoretical predictions of magnetic properties of the muon, a heavier cousin of the electron.
