best windows AV/Malware and Defender is not on the list. How serious can you take such a site/resource.

exactly, as if "passionate" people haven't existed before, nor will exist in the future. If however you're working "for free" outside the hours you're paid for. You're the not the sharpest tool in the shed. If you're good at something, never do anything free.

maybe he realizes people around him are creating an actual work/life balance and this is the end of the "10x engineer" whatever that is.

thanks, on an internet forum, you'd expect some leeway, but alas, it seems it's worse than a technical paper ;)

the OS and hardware working hand in hand to help overcome some of the causes for hitches and frame drops is what sets the consoles apart from the DIY PC builds where you simply don't have access to the custom design;

and it's also imho where in this generation Sony has pulled ahead of Microsoft even if both are using similar hardware

that's the case for every console ever made after the 90s; here the fact that both gaming desktop PC and consoles share similar hardware pieces makes it imho that more interesting to be able to find use cases the deliver a better out of the box experience, and have it cost a fraction of the game PC budget.

never said it was "new" have nvidia shadow play forever running and OBS for the better open source solution on a game PC; but that doesn't take away that the all-in-one polished end user experience is very nice and required some better planning.

PS3 multitasking performance was horrid

never said that shader compilation is the only cause, but not wasting effort replying somebody calling BS without bothering to RTFM, so ya. nothing of value lost

it's definitely done on purpose by Sony, to have PC grade hardware so they can port their games easily to the PC platform and have a larger install base for the first party titles, which previously only existed on the Playstation. All in all, I see it as a win for end users that they are converging as the software titles are available across multiple platforms. So price competition is very relevant. In a world experience worst inflation in decades, this is a very thin silver lining for sure.

I can really recommend this tech talk regarding PS4 and PS5 hardware by their lead hardware architect https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ph8LyNIT9sg

some really interesting topics related to what kind of performance they wanted as a baseline and how to optimize to make the PS5 do what it currently does... like no other platform.

a $700 console that:

- outputs 4k / HDR (upscaled from lower native res. ofc)

- renders games steadily at 30 / 60fps

- no hitches, framedrops

- always records your gameplay

- live video sharing of stream with PS friends

- live streaming to youtube

- updates of games being installed

- downloads of games/data

all simultaneous, instant game switches, quick loading times. the experience cannot be replicated with a 1k gaming PC, not even a $2000 machine. They really delivered a device which is imho, more than just "an AMD gaming PC with a custom GUI and some DRM"

would have loved to have widescale keyboard/mouse support, as playing Far Cry with a controller is frustrating at best. And keyboard/mouse support is in hands of the game dev if they want to support it or not.

that demo site looks very promising, the feature set is really quite exhaustive already at such early development stage; comes closest to full blown google photos self hosted replacement.

would be cool if also had dynamic shared albums as google photos has with facial recognition

the point is not to "not" say hello. But to have your message include the actual reason for contacting them.

so instead of 8:14 "hello" 9:15 "actual question"

sent 8:14 "Hello, actual question"

the OG Pebble Steel was in a class apart, really loved that Watch. Unfortunately it had issues with connection cable and had 2 units that broke over time. My favorite long battery smartwatch owned.

> With iPhone / Garmin, it's all or nothing.

time to upgrade to Apple Watch ;)

it has all that granularity, which is just awesome https://support.apple.com/guide/watch/change-notification-se...

this has been an ongoing issue more than 10 years, with no end in sight

> I'm surprised that Carmack seems to find this absurd. Am I super atypical? Or is he?

Carmack normal, light, workweek is 6 days working 10 hours a day, minimum.

it's him :)

no. We can hope that electricity becomes a lot cheaper than gas. a distinct difference.

your phrase would mean that they just make gas more expensive, and overall heating costs just rise

we should have had an abundance of electricity by now, but nuclear disasters in US, EU and JPN have really slowed that upwards trend of power source to a crawl

Apple's AR/VR headset was not demo-ed by more than one person wearing it; so this makes it so that it remains an isolating experience, as it ever was; not ground breaking social features added that are worth it;

so the target audience who might consider this 4k headset, will be the exact same that Meta is targetting at a fraction of the cost.

played Zero-K at local LAN party without any issues, it was a breeze to get to work.
