People seeing something unusual and checking to see if it’s enough to be concerning is a good thing, even if it’s not actually a problem. I think people have formed a habit of not bothering to try because they have had the tools to learn things for themselves hidden from them, and we should be blaming it on the people doing the hiding, not blowing it off as people these days being magically different from how people used to be somehow.
I don’t really believe that. For either of them. You don’t have to be a computer expert to know that high ping is bad, and you don’t have to be a mechanic to know that the oil pressure gauge moving away from the middle of its range means something serious is going wrong. I think it’s because corporations don’t want us to understand what’s going on when things go wrong, not because people would be incapable of understanding if given the information.
¿Por qué no los dos?
Terrible bait. I’m disappointed.
I think at this point if you put a gun to my head and told me to either buy an Nvidia card or never play a video game again I’d get a lot more reading done.
Sony released a more realistic looking big budget Overwatch clone. It was fine, but nobody cared, because nobody wants a $40 live service Overwatch clone where all the characters have similar silhouettes. They spent 8 years making an okay game for nobody. If they’d done something different with the same basic characters and gunplay it could have maybe been good. They didn’t though, so estimates suggested they sold about 25,000 copies worldwide before pulling it from their store and refunding everyone.
Well, no, you’re not going to be etching CPUs into silicon wafers in your basement, but it could massively lower the barrier to entry. Small startup companies being able to design processors that could compete with the likes of Intel and AMD would be a pretty big improvement.
You could learn how to design a RISC-V processor if you really wanted to. You can’t learn how to make an x86 processor that doesn’t infringe on Intel and AMD’s patents.
