You mean crossfire?

Old cards used to crash in price because each gen would significantly increase performance or reduce price, sometimes both.

That is no longer the case. GPUs have consistently increased in price to match the increased performance of new gens, which has made striving for the latest and greatest a bad value proposition.

Whats the point of buying a new card when the fps per dollar is about the same? The same amount of money no longer gets you more fps, you have to fork out MORE each time to get something that’s significantly better, because if you go with the same budget, you only get justabout the same.

Unless you care about raytracing and fake frames (which I don’t), newer cards only have slight power efficiency gains to offer.

The 7000 series cards sold like ass but they are honestly very good, still. Track one down used, or buy one new that’s come down in price/on sale, and I think you’ll be very happy with it.

6000 had some kinks, apparently, which 7000 sorted out. It might not be the case but 9000 on a new architecture might again be a case of “good, but with some problems”.

7000 is where AMD sorted RDNA3 out and just made some solid cards that still have me planning to eventually get a used XTX (currently on 7800) and then just roll that until it can’t compete anymore.

Yeah I’m pretty sure the banks would shut down anything that clones NFC payment functionality onto a device without them knowing about it.

Nothing else ever really achieved what the peobble did. I just wanted a cheap second point of interaction with my phone.

After it went under the industry has doubled down on insane cost, pointless features, abysmal battery life.

I don’t get it. Pepple made all the right trade offs and the third party support was incredible.

I hope this works out.

This sounds like a freaking hoot. Crysis 1 is still such a fun openish power fantasy simulator.

There’s a third person mod for it if that style of gameplay would suit you better.

It’s an absolute masterpiece, but it requires your active attention. You have to put the pieces it gives you together, or you won’t get that expansive “more than the sum of it’s parts” effect that really good art can do.

Also, you’re digressing.

I merely consider it necessary to function in modern society, and hence a service a government might conceivably provide.

You really like making assumptions about what I mean, and twisting my words, huh?

You classify email and internet search as non-essential?

And what does how they are classified have to do with the ability/inability of government to provide them in a sufficient manner?

You claimed something that HAS HAPPENED, could not. There’s no comeback here for you to find.

Those are some pretty specific additional qualifiers. Did I hit a nerve?

I’m responsing to someone claiming governments inherently cannot be good providers of essential services, which is patently untrue.

The nordics are home to numerous government institutions, providing a variety of services that are perfectly satisfactory, and often excellent.

Are you claiming that email or search engines not being among them today, means the rest mean nothing, or that they never will be?

If the current services are anything to go by, those things getting added to the list, will be fucking great.

I live in the nordics, would you like a list?

I don’t remember what program it was but I once went to configure something, and the command to “open settings” essentially just opened a text file in vim.

Being a nano scrub that took me a second to get out of.

I think it’s fine.

The first party device has existed over a year now, proved its worth, and become more widely understood by gamers.

Android suffers from fragmentation, sure, but it being used by a variety of manufacturers hasn’t stopped people from understanding that android is android, and can do similar things whether you buy a phone/tablet for 200 bucks, or 2000.

If you like the combat and the quarry, the Jukebox lets you play a bunch of challenge levels in locations from the same dimension as the quarry is in.

Using a domain for your handle means it entirely replaces the original bsky handle you signed up with.

I could go from being mentaledge.bsky.social to mentaledge.com, for example. (And they don’t need to be the same “username” so to speak, I could have registered therealmental.bsky.social, but then become mentaledge.com, provided I own the domain.)

The main difference is that the orignal handle is a subdomain of bsky, while you can be the root domain if you use your own.

Before, you’d lose your original handle, meaning someone else could grab it once you did this, and then pretend to be you. Now they can’t.

I don’t share your view.

Company doing good thing without simultaneously promising it won’t do bad thing doesnt automatically mean BAD THING WILL ABSOLUTELY SUPER DUPER CERTAINLY HAPPEN NEXT.

The opposite, actually.

When corpos are specific about bad thing definitely not being planned, that’s when it is DEFINITELY the next step.

Ok. But again, this isn’t that.

No part of this particular change, is even step one of what you’re talking about.

This is literally only stopping new users from registering accounts under handles someone used before, but switched away from.

It’s straight up a "correct " solution.

I don’t think the name part of the bsky handle comes from the domain you use.

You just no longer lose the handle you picked when you registered, when you switch to using your own domain as your handle.

Before, once you switched, someone else could grab that original handle you registered with and pretend to be you.
