I can be controversial or annoying because I always require proof and facts for whatever people are saying/claiming. This has gotten me into a lot of heated debates, even got myself banned from "YouShouldKnow" for saying I need more proof of Israeli's genocide (that was long ago, got more proof and changed my mind). If I do not agree on some subjectively obvious topic, please do not assume I'm being unfriendly, evil or a troll. I do try my best to approach any subject with neutral and open mind. Just call me autistic with OCD

  • It's called decoding and encoding...

  • Just like "optimization for games don't matter anymore because everyone has 32gb of ram", right? Because ARM is just simple RISC, right? https://simplifycpp.org/?id=a0882

    What you consider unimportant is actually super important in cyber security by the way.

  • But can it finally run Minecraft better than a 10 year old cheap Intel?

    EDIT: For the downvoters - this was a joke (But can it run crysis?), but since this got attention - my pet peeves with Apple is that they advertised M chips as universally powerful and good, a serious competitor to Intel. It's a mobile chip with instructions mostly for media encoding and decoding. It's like comparing Prius to a bulldozer. If your workstation involves watching YouTube and using final cut pro, then sure, but anything remotely more advanced mostly falls apart on it. Don't even get me started on AI and how slow the unified memory is

  • The idea features heavily in the widely read AI 2027 doomsday scenario of last year, which imagines AI agents designing more and more intelligent versions of themselves, one of which eventually kills all of humanity with a bioweapon in order to make room for more datacentres and solar panels.

    Fucking lunatics

  • You guys have sex with your family?

  • That brain has tiny PP hehe

  • Not really. You're thinking of Nvidia test bench, and they always go overboard. 5070 was already confirmed to support DLSS5.

  • Is it? I haven't seen this video, but I know the guy and he constantly ridicules corporate and businesses

    Look up "shipping a button in 2026" video and you'll likely subscribe

  • DLSS has always been local. I've never heard about anything cloud-related when it comes to DLSS. The DLSS5 demo was also local.

  • I actually think DLSS5 isn't that terrible and part of the reason it was so hated was because of "AI". I see it similar to graphic mods or Ray reconstruction (DLSS 4.5), just another tech. Don't like it? Don't use it. Me, on the other hand, want to actually see this happen in real-time, one day. I imagine we could even see proper filters in the future (like this).

  • No, they sued as an answer against Valve's threats and actions, nothing really to do with customers, but Valve using it's power to dictate how they can sell their product in a way that does not create competition against Valve.

    It's literally called anti-trust lawsuit.

    EDIT: Honestly dude, I think we should just agree to disagree and finally end this convo. You're obviously not convincing me and I'm not convincing you, so it's a dead end of back and forth.

  • It's literally what lawsuit is about, but okay.

  • .....

    How can I not blame Valve when they're the reason others can't compete in pricing? Why are you not getting this?

  • This is not what I'm talking about. I agree with you, and anyone can choose whichever platform they want.

    The discussion is about how Valve Corporation uses it's status for anti-trust practices which is a major blockade for other companies to compete with steam.

    Like I said, as long as this keeps happening, others can hardly compete and gamers don't have a reason to use other platforms.

  • Ubisoft wants so sell cheaper on Uplay to pull traffic there. Why not just simply dump Steam and ONLY sell on their platform? I'd really like you to answer this question.

    Steam has major market share and it's not a good business decision to ignore that, so publishers are forced to submit to Valve's rules, unless they're ready to take the loss.

    In a fair world, all these publishers would likely sell cheaper on their own platforms, which is good for you, the customer, but that won't happen with Valve setting rules, and so there is no reason for customers to make a switch, and so other platforms can't compete.

    Epic gained some traction by giving away free games, but that's basically the best they can do.

    Ask yourself - how can any other company be competitive in the current environment? How would you even go about building your own platform when the very basic thing (pricing) is basically regulated by the big guys?

  • But if you even for a second think Epic would not impose 30%+ fee if they had Steams market share

    Don't you see how you're accidentally proving my point here?

  • Yeah, if you want to sell on THEIR platform then follow THEIR rules. Like wtf?

    I don't think I'm capable of convincing you that this is anti-trust competition practice enabled by near monopoly, which is bad. You would not get such stupid rules from Epic or GoG.

    I guess the only thing I can say is that be glad that current CEO of valve isn't as bad as other CEOs, but it won't stay like that and it feels like we're slowly creating a monster. All corporations, without exclusions, should be kept in check

  • Instead of just, I don't know, release a competitor

    And now we've gone full circle and came back to Valve anti-trust practices, the ongoing lawsuits and their status of near monopoly. Like, you literally cannot do that if you want to sell your games on steam too.
