For some reason I was thinking Exodus and there is a band Exodus as well, but obviously no game system, yet.

Liquid Nitrogen testing is the auto rag racing of computers. Not practical for everyday use, but is can be interesting/fun to do/watch.

I don’t like it either. Don’t need an 18cm big button.

As much as that sounds right the marketing fails. For general consumers the 7900 xtx competes with the 4090 right? The 6900 and 3090 did so it must now too. So they see benchmarks and see the 4090 performance difference and see that it is closer to the 4080. You might start assuming a 4060 is roughly in line with a 7700 and the 4060 is $100(US) cheaper without doing the full research.

In other words, they will find a way to screw it up.

So they are going with the “if you want cheap, buy AMD or if you want fast buy Nvidia” approach. That will work out well for them, not.

My fingers don’t speak it is the problem.

Worst is when installing a new distro(usually in a vm ) and it defaults to nano and for some weird reason no vi of any sort is installed. I hated nano. Last time I intentionally used something like nano was the 90s with pine I think.

Someone I know was hospitalized and their parent seemed more concerned about how it inconvenienced them than the person in the hospital.

Would be interesting if they made a version that had an ultrawide screen that hid the controls until you slid the screen up.

I suppose that is true. Intel seems to think so as well as their low power n100 is about the performance of a 1500x.

Sure, not much per gen, but if you compare say a 1700x vs the current 9700x, you are roughly looking at a 3x improvement in single and multicore performance increase.

My community college(1997) had a Suse linux computer lab that I learned on. It was mostly used as a networking/server and programming platform.

Loki was the leading porting developer at the time.

Well ACC works on linux, including VR, using proton. This probably will to unless it is using some form of broken copy protection.

Until risc-v is at least as performant as top of the line 2 year old hardware it isn’t going to be of interest to most end users. Right now it is mostly hobbyist hardware.

I also think a lot of trust if being put into it that is going to be misplaced. Just because the ISA is open doesn’t mean anything about the developed hardware.

It isn’t as simple as just compiling. Large programs like games then need to be tested to make sure the code doesn’t have bugs on ARM. Developers often use assembly to optimize performance, so those portions would need to be rewritten as well. And Apple has been the only large install of performant ARM consumer hardware on anything laptop or desktop windows. So, there hasn’t been a strong install base to even encourage many developers to port their stuff to windows on ARM.

On my system with raid0 dual pcie4.0 nvme drives, most of the time is spent decompressing and processing the data. There is always going to be a bottleneck somewhere, whether it is the drive, cpu, gpu etc.

That is my understanding. Additionally I have seen no evidence that it is actually enforced either. You could get Ghost of Tsushima for $59.99 on steam and for like $51.xx on another site using keys. Same happened with forbidden west.

I could see developers using both the NVK and M1 drivers depending on which best suits their needs for hardware similarity. It is also interesting that both are not super opensource friendly hardware manufacturers. Good hardware, less so on openness.

This was exactly my first thought as well and I agree it is good business sense. I am in ok with console versions coming out first and getting the kinks out before PC.

Would it be great to do all at the same time? Yeah, but I would rather not deal with another CP2077-like release where it is out on everything and buggy on everything.

Based on the little you share, I would lean towards that being a valid diagnosis. Nothing wrong with getting a second opinion though. Sounds like this is pretty new to you, so it is understandable that you a feeling this way. I’d suggest doing some research on it to see if you can relate and maybe check out local mental health support groups. They are free and peers with mental illnesses themselves. Talking to friends or people you know that you trust about how you were doing before treatment and now may be helpful as it can be very difficult to have personal insight with mental health issues.

There are various injectable treatments for it these days which means you don’t have to remember to take pills. Some last around a month and I have heard there are some that last half a year.

Pricing seems about right if in the US. A month of generic pills can be around $700 without insurance not to mention doctor appointment co-fees. Keep in mind that not taking schizophrenia treatment can end up costing more, not even getting into broken relationships, lost jobs and interruptions to education.
