I thought the idea of the Xbox was that game devs knew exactly what platform and hardware specs they were coding for. If any Win11 PC can run xbox games now, then this is 100% broken. This seems like a way for Microsoft to kill off Xbox, without saying they killed Xbox. If I was a game dev, I'd be avoiding anything "Xbox" like the plague.

He's a Neo Nazi because he threw his heart out to a crowd where the ending of said throw KINDA looked somewhat like a nazi salute? Look, I object to a lot of what Musk says, but if you really want to be taken seriously, you need to just drop the whole Nazi shtick, especially given that Musk is an outspoken supporter of the State of Israel. Your claims at this point stretch beyond wishful thinking and into the realm of pure lunacy.

Cool story. I'd have done the same except the installation fees were too much, and was complicated by the fact that the telco had put "pair gain" on our POTS which meant our modems could only train up to 28.8K (sometimes 14.4K) instead of 56K. I remember spending a week downloading RedHat Linux (650MB "CD" version), and immediately after it finished, RedHat released a new version. I had to have the latest, so fired up the downloads for another week. No one could call me for two weeks haha!

That doesn't have a problem with this? Movies aren't documentaries. They've been using special effects since like forever in film. This is just another special effect. This seems to have been done very well. I don't even get the "uncanny valley" feeling even though I know it's AI, so they've obviously put in a lot of work, which shows a lot of respect to the late Val, and his estate/family. I think what will suck is if/when this tech is normalised, and they get lazy and don't give it as much polish. So even though I'm saying that the trailer on *this movie* looks fine, I reckon we'll be seeing some very crappy/cheap implementations before too long. Critics will just have to sharpen their pencils for when that happens.

100% We need anti-fraud to serve the taxpayers, rather than just pander to political "culture war" objectives. But to be fair that was valid too - no one can grift like virtue signallers. But yeah - there is a shitload of other areas to investigate - especially the military industrial complex.

Comment Soaring RAM prices (Score 4, Interesting) 118

Might have something to do with it. There's been a lot of "I've switched to Linux!!" videos on YouTube these days. One of the main reasons quoted (beyond the "Windows is spying on me" valid argument) is efficiency and RAM usage, so that people can get more out of their hardware. A lot of videos say stuff like, "On Windows after boot up, it is using 12GB of RAM, whereas on it is only using 1.7GB! What is wrong with you - Windows 11?!!!"
So more native code might be their way of signalling that they are going to tackle this issue, without admitting that Windows 11 bloat has gotten out of hand?
