  • Canada just cut a hole in the roof of a working nuclear reactor, hauled out eight steam generators weighing 100 tons each, and lowered new ones into the same hole, bringing the reactor back online se…

  • What the fuck is a US ton...

  • Lenovo Warns PC RAM Prices Will "Never" Go Back to Normal

    Jump

  • Yeah, most people can probably be totally okay with 16GB (~150€ new, 50€ ddr4 used) too!

    We seem to have forgotten that RAM has always been ludicrously expensive, except for a little while a couple of years ago.

  • And ASML making the lithography machines for basically everyone... You can't just "make more" ram without scaling ASML too.

  • Yeah, even pathfinding is "AI" but people associate it only with slop these days.

  • The reddit way?

  • Streaming services’ obnoxiously loud ads become illegal on July 1 in California

    Jump

  • Is this loud, or just boosted loudness?

    Where I live it has been illegal to up the volume for publicity, but not to cram it so full of loudness the clipping cuts your hair.

  • Fair enough!

    I loved the cartridge era, just plug it in and switch your console on. Great for sharing too.

    But I don't get it with a, I guess, multi 100GB game, that will contain anti copy stuff, need patches, be made with DLC in mind and so on.

    For me it's just hipsterism or the need for some "feelgood", as it doesn't fix the problem with ownership.

    I remember when the CD could be installed 3 times, and that's it. I prefer a DRM free copy BTW, on my drive, what's your thoughts about that?

    I'm also a bit curious about all the downvoting 🤷🏻‍♀️ have we stopped discussing (this is not aimed at you of course)?

  • Or SQLite for embedded systems, and a NoSQL for no-sql, and MariaDB for FOSS DB.

    Did I forget anything?

  • A bit different over here in the EU I guess, but similar too; got my apartment almost paid off, social security is guaranteed, retirement will be like 1k€/m in like 9 years...

    Hopefully RAM prices will have fallen by then 😁, or maybe we old C/C++ devs will be the new COBOL guys...

  • I don't get it, you can have a DRM and online activation on a CD, and a DRM free digital copy.

    Also you come about a bit snarky.

  • How many games nowadays are available on a physical medium? Why would this be important?

    Yeah, our society is not a good place to be in.
