Almost had a gd heart attack!

Nintendo sues everyone they can because as an IP holder of some seriously valuable properties, everything else in the gaming industry just looks like free real estate for them to colonize. I can make a game called "Dog Fighters" and I'm sure they'll find a way to tell me they own that idea.

ALL women need to go on general strike. Not just if you voted for Trump, for everyone. Hard-line for "no freedom? no work, no sex, no labor". Watch the economy cripple at the greatest union in history. Watch political organizations form behind women because they've been denied access to what women provide.

I've preordered it. I have a few hori controllers. Some are worse than others. Even though its design is pretty much identical to their switch controller, I honestly want to give it a try. My goto controllers lately have been the PS5 controller and the Gamsir g7 se. I have been playing everything recently on Bazzite so it's been fun to try out different controllers for different games.

They both have their corporate masters. It's just RedPubs run a pro corporate ticket and Democrats have a platform that is perceived as anti corporate. RedPubs get into the office and do exactly what they promised, Democrats get into the office and have to pretend to not bite the hand that feeds too hard (more of a gentle lick).

This is why the Democrats strategy is to lose. They are essentially paid to lose. Corporatism is what is getting in the way of democracy.

I've seen this done on VMware personally. They most likely pivoted from another system on that network with a RAT. Here's bleeping computer article instead: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/meet-interlock-the-new-ransomware-targeting-freebsd-servers/

I would like to see further development but I always had a sneaking suspicion that its life was limited due to the fact that ARC does not come from Intel's fabs either. Like lunar lake, Arc is also made at TSMC.

I don't think Lunar lake wasn't a "mistake" so much as it was a reaction. Intel couldn't make a competitive laptop chip to go up against Apple and Qualcomm. (There is a very weird love triangle between the three of them /s.) Intel had to go to TSMC to get a chip to market that satisfied this AI Copilot+ PC market boom(or bust). Intel doesn't have the ability to make a competitive chip in that space (yet) so they had to produce lunar lake as a one off.

Intel is very used to just giving people chips and forcing them to conform their software to the available hardware. We're finally in the era where the software defines what the cpu needs to be able to do. This is probably why Intel struggles. Their old market dominant strategy doesn't work in the CPU market anymore and they've found themselves on the back foot. Meanwhile new devices where the hardware and software are deeply integrated in design keep coming out while Intel is still swinging for the "here's our chip, figure it out for us" crowd.

In contrast to their desktop offerings, looking at Intel's server offerings shows that Intel gets it. They want to give you the right chips for the right job with the right accelerators.

He's not wrong that GPUs in the desktop space are going away because SoCs are inevitably going to be the future. This isn't because the market has demanded it or some sort of conspiracy, but literally we can't get faster without chips getting smaller and closer together.

Even though I'm burnt on Nvidia and the last two CPUs and GPUs I've bought have been all AMD, I'm excited to see what Nvidia and mediatek do next as this SOC future has some really interesting upsides to it. Projects like ashai Linux proton project and apple GPTK2 have shown me the SoC future is actually right around the corner.

Turns out, the end of the x86 era is a good thing?

AAA title Published by Epic Games, doesn't use unreal engine, mega-chad move.

I can see them in the future publishing it on steam as it has no integration into epic in any technical way. Epic will want to recoup their costs though by optimizing the release window for steam so expect it (if at all) to have a steam release when control 2 lands.

I can't believe they went full mystical ninja Goemon for the megazord sequence. I may just buy this.

That's a good question. I will have to test it out. I usually play wired. I think the minisforum BD790i I'm using has an Intel Bluetooth chip set. From my experience those have issues with the Xbox controllers and often the dongle is required. I do have the dongle so I will try it out.

Just rebuilt my living room gaming PC this weekend and installed Bazzite. The most exciting feature for me so far has been that SLEEP WORKS. I can just put the system to sleep and resume whenever I want. 10/10
