Comment Re:Minimum specs on Steam are clear, and pretty lo (Score 1) 64

Keep in mind, N-Shitty-A are deliberately restricting DLSS updates to the 40X0 series or later. The 30X0 series are unduly hamstrung by N-Shitty-A not properly updating the drivers, just so N-Shitty-A can try to force people to buy new cards every 3 years.

bizarre as it sounds, try Walmart's house brand, Onn.

they'er the only brand (other than apple itself) that I've tried that consistently works (and I've tried most if not all of the major brands).

They usually last until I do something stupid (leave behind, catch in hinges, drop laptop cable first, etc.). And the price is right, too--most are $6-$10.

Comment innovation is - sadly - dead at Apple (Score 1) 81

the company has, in the pursuit of easy profits, constrained the space in which it innovates.

Quite so. It's been how many years since something really new came out of Cupertino? Granted, Apple is more profitable than ever, but the company clearly shows what the result of placing a supply-chain expert as the CEO does.

The really sad part is that there's nobody ELSE, either. Microsoft hasn't invented anything ever, Facebook and Google are busy selling our personal data to advertisers, and who else is there who can risk a billion on an innovation that may or may not work out?

Apple fans already have a heartrate sensor on their wrist, they don't need one from the ear.

That's wrong. I stopped using wrist watches 25 years ago and haven't looked back a single day. I don't want shit on my wrist. Try living without for a year and you'll realize why. It's hard to express in words. It's like having a chain removed.

Headphones, on the other hand, I use occasionally. For phone calls or for music on the train, plane, etc. - and especially for the plane if the noise cancellation comes close to my current over-the-ear Bose I'd take them on the two-day business trips where I travel with hand luggage only and space is a premium.

Do I want a heartbeat sensor? No idea. I don't care. But if there's any use for it than at least for me that's not a replication. I'm pretty sure many, many Apple users don't have a smart watch.

this appears to be an urban legend, although oft repeated.

In the last years of her life, she was pretty much pleading for help for her medical bills.
