The Apple M processors are pretty good at this. My MacBook has no fan and it’s incredibly performant with all day battery and my Mac studio is basically inaudible apart from extreme load, and yet can encode video in sometimes seconds in davinci.
100%. I’ve thought the same thing before too, both my monitor and my TV spend most of their time sitting on a Mac desktop with menu bar and dock in exactly the same place. I have had the TV for almost a decade and the monitor for about 5 years without issue. Even my older computer monitors I’ve either sold or given to a friend because they worked like the day I bought them. There would be guaranteed burn in if either one of those panels was OLED. I’m pretty happy not to have to replace screens every couple of years thanks. If I was only using a screen for watching shows or movies then sure, an OLED with its contrast makes sense, but I don’t see how they can ever be recommended as monitors for anything other than casual use.
Eh personally Deus Ex is one of my favourite games of all time but none of the subsequent games interested me because they were much less freeform. Unless Warren Spector decides to do one himself I don’t think the series has much value to older gamers like myself, and I suspect they’ve probably done the analysis to suggest that the mainstream audience will be more receptive to whatever kind of thing is popular right now.
I’m not sure I understand this? Is this a reference to something?
BBC is publicly funded and generally aims to be factual so yes. The guardian and telegraph are good quality reporting but the guardian has extreme liberal bias and the telegraph has extreme conservative bias so you have to bear this in mind when drawing any conclusions. The Times is a bit more in the middle. All the tabloids like daily mail and the sun are trash for ‘the masses’, essentially clickbait before the internet existed.
That’s a fair point!
For the sake of argument, what would you call a seat that was not next to the aisle? I’m not defending them but at the same time I’d understand window seat just means ‘against fuselage’, yet I agree this is a confusing term.
Just give me a way to play Gran Turismo on PC and I’ll be happy honestly.
My dad is a retired driving instructor and has come across people similar to this. Undiagnosed learning difficulties are probably part of it, but in many cases the people that struggled also had English being not a native language. Maybe it is the combination of the two in these extreme cases
Don’t think I’ve updated my driver in 2 years at least, everything seems to be fine
Yeah I’d rather he be obsessed with that than the other things he’s been preoccupied with domestically
I don’t think I’ve played a single one of his games and I’m guessing I’m probably not going to start now :p
Yeah, the first Mac I bought I only ever bought Snow Leopard as an upgrade, skipped other versions and then upgraded to Mountain Lion or whatever was the first free version. That’s basically 30ish spent over the entire almost 20 years I’ve been using Macs on actual software.
The comic is kind of dumb because it’s Microsoft who’ve typically made tons of money on software licenses, everyone knows that Apple makes their money on hardware.
It wasn’t updated every year. Major paid versions came out every 2 years or so. They became free when they started updating major versions annually
I really like this one
100%
Still have my PS2 original and the PS3 HD version, I’m good thanks.
This is a satirical opinion piece and is actually supposed to be onion like
Heh I was just going to block the user myself for the same reason but I thought I’d check the comments to see if anyone had any better ideas!
I mean that’s the cynical view largely based on how conditions in mainly one particular country have developed sure, but it’s not philosophically what economics is about (which is allocating resources in a utility maximising way)
