• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thieves are starting to steal RAM now that it's as expensive as gold — a memory kit disappears in the snail mail at four in the morning with a bogus signature⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  About a week ago I ordered 32GB of RAM for a new PC.

  I paid $190.

  It costs about $300 today. This is ridiculous.

  How many more “China Scary!!” stories will we have this week?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Proof That Recent Windows Update Harms Gaming Performance⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It harms a game not all games.

  Clickbait bs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dell and HP disable hardware H.265 decoding on select PCs due to rising royalty costs — companies could save big on HEVC royalties, but at the expense of users⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Isn’t AV1 a lot lower quality?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dell and HP disable hardware H.265 decoding on select PCs due to rising royalty costs — companies could save big on HEVC royalties, but at the expense of users⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Those shit PCs from Dell and HP are going to feel even slower and they will have an even worse battery life. Just to save $0.02 per PC.

  Their plan is to have user buy some app after purchase to unlock the hardware on their on PCs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why a new Steam Machine when the first ones flopped? Because this time, Valve say, it'll actually have games⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a crutch until it isn’t. I’m guessing that the majority of Machine buyers won’t install windows on it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony is making a Horizon MMO — here’s the video and details⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Horizon games have some pretty bad writing. What makes them think that they can pull off an MMO?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You'll have to keep waiting for a Steam Deck 2, because Valve says the tech isn't there for it just yet⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Even if the tech was there, component prices are being inflated by the AI bubble. I hope all those pricks lose billions and move on to the next product nobody cares about.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Hardware Announcement - (This is wild)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This looks good. Like a Super PS4 Pro.

  Valve should sell the lowest spec and let third parties go crazy with more powerful hardware or higher memory specs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nvidia's Jensen Huang: 'China is going to win the AI race,'⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, he’s desperate to have the US allow him to legally sell the high end GPUs directly to Chinese customers as opposed to the current system they use with lots of middlemen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GM cuts thousands of EV and battery factory workers | TechCrunch⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, those people do not see Chevrolet and Dodge as an alternative to BMW and Mercedes. GM, Chrysler and Ford have made junk for decades and now they’re trying to be upscale. Nobody wants their trash.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft pushing for profits "well above the industry average" is reportedly behind Xbox's layoff and cancellation misery⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That Activision Blizzard merger was 100% only for COD and Diablo. Everything else will be purged.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GM cuts thousands of EV and battery factory workers | TechCrunch⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The US car companies want to make $70,000 EVs profitable instead of $30,000 EVs. They gave up on the working class.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft's decision to axe Windows 10 is driving Apple PC sales growth — users buy Macs instead of AI PCs despite Microsoft’s push for Copilot+ PCs⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s the best thing about OSX. It doesn’t really change to new complete garbage every iteration. It is basically the same with different color schemes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TikTok can use AI to turn your long video into short ones⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I imagine a lot of annoying cuts to cut down on any quiet time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Even Xbox developer kits are getting a big price hike⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I looks like they’re actively trying to kill the Xbox brand and go back to just having MS branding like the old days.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AWS crash causes $2,000 Smart Beds to overheat and get stuck upright⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  lol, e-waste beds.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When Everything Is Fake, What’s the Point of Social Media?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Social media’s value comes from its ability to influence the public.

  AI’s value comes from its theoretical ability to replace humans in jobs and in influencing the public.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'This is definitely my last TwitchCon': High-profile streamer Emiru was assaulted at the event, even as streamers have been sounding the alarm about stalkers and harassment⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Who’s blaming the victim?

  I’m blaming the one-way relationship celebrity culture. It seems like a breeding ground for people with serious social issues.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'This is definitely my last TwitchCon': High-profile streamer Emiru was assaulted at the event, even as streamers have been sounding the alarm about stalkers and harassment⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I can imagine that this type of celebrity attracts the most unhinged obsessed fans with borderline personality disorder and/or other potentially dangerous and antisocial behaviors.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As Microsoft lays off thousands and jacks up Game Pass prices, former FTC chair says I told you so: The Activision-Blizzard buyout is 'harming both gamers and developers'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Activision should not have been allowed to merge with Blizzard.

  MS should not have been allowed to purchase then.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Japan's internet is weirdly designed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  they’re stuck in their version of the Geocities / dot-com boom era

  That’s before everything became total shit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Qualcomm to Acquire Arduino⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Consolidation is always bad for consumers.

  Tesla “full self driving” is an illusion that works on idiots.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dev says Switch 2’s physical Game Cards were too slow for Star Wars Outlaws port⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There very little chance that there will be faster game cards. I don’t think it has ever happened before on any system.

  it would likely be a lot of work

  This is the key point. The amount of work they would need to do goes against the amount of profit the way want to make.

  CDPR actually put in the work to adapt the game to Switch 2. Not every publisher is willing to do it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dev says Switch 2’s physical Game Cards were too slow for Star Wars Outlaws port⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  CDPR can do it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tomb Raider developers Crystal Dynamics lay off more staff, say the series' future is "unaffected"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Tomb Raider needs to go back to exploration focused gameplay.

  Once it became more action focused, it took away Lara’s fun vibe. Now she’s a grizzled mercenary with PTSD.

  They should look at Death Stranding for exploration based gameplay.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Coinbase CEO explains why he fired engineers who didn’t try AI immediately⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Crypto is full of scammers that are not allowed to trade securities because of criminal activities.
