Kid's game? Tiny Tina/Borderlands is a huge franchise in gaming. I think its clear these two games were chosen because the cell-shaded style they use is less GPU demanding, but its…

63 fps on Cyberpunk 2077 which when it came out was "unplayable but on the most powerful PCs" is incredibly impressive without a GPU. This is pretty close to my 2070 GPU does, whic…

“[C]ollision and damage repairs on an EV can often run about twice that associated with a comparable combustion engine vehicle,” Hertz CEO Stephen Scherr said in a recent analyst c…

On the flipside, its not as obvious what coal burning exhaust has done to other parts of the biome. I imagine its extremely damaging. Not to mention, what it does to human lungs. E…

I feel like we're at some weird technological historical point where we have IoT everywhere but we aren't passwordless yet. So we're polluting our world with IoT devices like this …

Also this should be a massive warning to companies, non-profits, and governments who think "Sure, Elon is mismanaging this and platforming the worst people and making it a cult of …

Its sad to think web 2.0 so long ago was a move towards more human centric websites, UI's, AJAXy sites, etc and now web3 is just a marketing term for fraudsters, exit scammers, sha…

Chicago to LA is about 2,000 miles. So in the article about 200 miles driving (in California) is 1 in a million chance of dying. So lets use that number nationwide to be lazy. Now …

Billboards can be taken down. Fashion comes and goes. Kitchens can be redone. Hair grows back. Things on the moon are permanent until launching is 1000x cheaper. Even then, who wou…

Just a small correction, Yanis was the minister of finance, under the PM, who at the time was Alexis Tsipras.

Great comment. ZIRP is endless stock buybacks and $boomer_rock_band or $expensive_celebrity speaking at your conference. Those are capital owner and executive benefits and don't dr…

Its odd to me that the "logical" and "scientific" types, or self-styled types, sing the praises of cannabis, but there's no mechanism in evolution to make this a healthy drug for u…

Wait until you find out that in a capitalist society a lot of that kind of education is frowned upon as anti-business and anti-capitalist. The problem is that what you think of a "…

For a lot of people, zero caffeine is the only way to get proper sleep.

I can't imagine that being true. The Nazi's learned a lot from the US's eugenics and segregation programs and the Soviets, while progressive on women's issues, were just as homopho…

That's fair but Rober does the standard "Youtube voice" and persona popular in many demographics. I don't think its fair to say this is something unique to 5th grader audience YT's…

Essentially all these stories are apocryphal. Even this vapor lock story. Sorry but even before today, having a automotive engineer sent to a random person's home over what clearly…

Its the male "comedic" friendly voice. Essentially its a learned affectation to come off as approachable and unthreatening (see also Jimmy Fallon) to garner views. Read a "boring" …

Win95 was very much sold in the internet age. In fact, its large marketing push was mostly about how easy it was to get online. We are not discussing 1985 here. By the mid to late …

Not in a narrative-like way. You can't get Ahsoka's long backstory by just having her pose looking sad holding a lightsaber.

tbf television is a very limiting medium. If you tried "show dont tell" for that much exposition you'd be several episodes in. Ahsoka just requires too much backstory for non-Star …

LO for Windows launches with a launcher that pre-loads it a boot time. I find Writer to be pretty pleasantly light-weight on a modern computer. A lot of its performance shortcoming…

Everything MS does is for the business case. Wordpad, windows, etc exist only in a capitalist context and need a financial justification to exist. It was there exactly for the reas…
