Say “Boomer Shooter” again, I dare you! I double dare you, motherfucker! Say “Boomer Shooter” one more goddam time!

I was hoping for a bit more of a review of the various options with pros and cons for each.
- Comment on Researchers develop Python code for in-memory computing — in-memory computation comes to Python code 1 month ago:
In-memory computing is a new way of computing that aims to solve the memory latency problem. As the name suggests, in-memory computing enables the system memory to do some calculations the CPU would do otherwise, cutting down the amount of data that must be transferred between the CPU and DRAM.
Samsung and TSMC are actively working on memory capable of doing this, featuring MRAM memory cells. In-memory computing is still in the prototype phase, but progress is being made on the hardware side to make it a viable technology. With the help of conversion layers like PyPIM, software should be developed to support this computing method.

- Comment on Valve is working on a version of proton for ARM devices 2 months ago:
is there any ARM chipset out there that can deliver performance on par with the Steam Deck’s CPU
Yes, but they’re made by Apple.
- Comment on Black Myth: Wukong shows very clearly Valve are selling a lot of Steam Decks 3 months ago:
So that would make it 1.4m in the last two weeks which makes a big difference.
It would have been nice for the article to actually discuss these specifics. I’m not sure what we’re supposed to take away from it.
- Comment on Black Myth: Wukong shows very clearly Valve are selling a lot of Steam Decks 3 months ago:
He doesn’t actually do the calculation required to give an estimate of what that number is.
Going on the stats in the article:
- assuming that Wukong has just surpassed the revenue of Steam Deck in the chart so we can treat their revenues as equal
- assuming Wukong price is $49.99 and average Steam Deck price is $500
- using the stat that 14m copies of Wukong sold on Steam so far
that would imply ~1.4m Steam Decks sold
The article does go on to say:
Keep in mind that by November last year, Valve said the Steam Deck had already sold “multiple millions”.
So really this (very rough estimate) is telling us nothing that we didn’t know already. The top seller charts are showing exactly what we would have expected to see.
- Comment on Good luck with the PlayStation VR2 PC Adapter — you’ll need it 4 months ago:
TLDR: they had no complaints about the headset or the adapter, but they had trouble pairing the controllers over Bluetooth and even when they did work they would regularly drop out
- Comment on Firefox added [ad tracking] and has already turned it on without asking you 5 months ago:
Because they don’t want to scare advertisers.
This tells you everything you need to know. If Firefox was acting in the interests of users then they wouldn’t give a fuck what advertisers think.
- Comment on Firefox added [ad tracking] and has already turned it on without asking you 5 months ago:
Firefox is not pandering to advertisers. If anything, I feel they are compromising with them
I don’t want to compromise with advertisers. I want to block them and not be tracked by them.
So where is my choice as the user of the browser that is running on my machine and using my internet connection and tracking my data?
But if it’s successful, it’ll rock for us.
If you think this will make one iota of difference in advertiser behavior then you must have been born yesterday.
- Comment on Firefox added [ad tracking] and has already turned it on without asking you 5 months ago:
The point is that this is not something that users want, it’s something that advertisers want. Why is Firefox pandering to advertisers and corporate interests? No user wants this, and Firefox is supposed to be a non-commercial browser built with the interests of its users in mind.

- Comment on It's Time to Bring Back the Steam Machine 7 months ago:
I agree with your original comment; it’s worth using a dedicated PC for gaming on the TV. But I think your second sentence is just parroting current-gen console marketing. It’s not actually true that current-gen consoles are providing a 4k@60 HDR experience.
- Comment on It's Time to Bring Back the Steam Machine 7 months ago:
No, Forza Motorsport uses dynamic resolution upscaled to 4k in Performance mode, and in Quality mode it also uses dynamic resolution but targets 30fps.
- Comment on It's Time to Bring Back the Steam Machine 7 months ago:
I was asking specifically about native 4K games, not dynamic resolution upscaled to 4k.
- Comment on It's Time to Bring Back the Steam Machine 7 months ago:
Interesting, thanks.
- Comment on It's Time to Bring Back the Steam Machine 7 months ago:
if you wanted an answer why are you arguing?
It was a rhetorical question. There are no actual current-gen releases running at 4k60 native resolution. They all use dynamic resolution with 1080p-1440p rendering resolution that then upscales to 4k for display.

A PS4 game? Nice.
- Comment on It's Time to Bring Back the Steam Machine 7 months ago:
What game on what console?
- Comment on It's Time to Bring Back the Steam Machine 7 months ago:
Now that TunnelVision has been disclosed to the general public
That vulnerability affected every OS except Android.
- Comment on It's Time to Bring Back the Steam Machine 7 months ago:
4k 60fps HDR experience that most people are getting used to from the main console makers
What games are you playing on console where you are actually getting 4k native resolution at 60fps?
