Console GPU is power-constrained by European regulations.

Consequently, SONY working to find new and better ways of being power-efficient makes absolute sense.

And thus, all the nitwits bragging about being superior to consoles thanks to their PC hardware are just that, nitwits.

You cannot fairly compare the two since those kind of regulations took place.

"Users who are unable to upgrade or choose to forgo the extended security updates will face increased vulnerability to cyberattacks"

Windows 7(*) being my daily driver: Oh Really?

*: SP1+updated certificates+firewall+NoScript

So, just like the US in Vietnam?

Probably because the CPU was shit? Intel?

By contrast, I'd love to have the excuse to immerge myself back into 68k assembly. Attached to an ATARI ST or AMIGA would be cherry on top. Or learn ATARI Transputer. Or learn original ARM Archimedes.

Croatia, Romania and other countries around, if you are working remotely from there, I would love to hear your comments.

Interesting. I hadn't heard of Perl being like Lisp. May you elaborate some more, please?

Yes, the specification that it still works tomorrow. And the day after that.

Python is horrible at that.

I suppose your novel isn't made to be commercially exploited?
I mean, that you are fine with the fact that you are training the AI model with your intellectual output, fine with it earning money from it in the future?

Several software vendors in Japan that do sell 18+ or spicy content have stopped accepting VISA cards and ilk for their orders, thus fighting against the orders of the money masters overlords.
Can't imagine Steam having the balls to do the same.

Saw Intel use its monopoly stranglehold on PC makers to prevent them from using (superior at the time) AMD CPUs, so much so that AMD had to separate itself from its own foundry:
CRY ME A RIVER.

I wouldn't be surprised if no additional money has been planned for the proper data backup of these video evidence ONCE digitized.

Step 1: Digitize
Step 2: Discard analog source tapes
Step 3: Oops! No money for proper digital backup hardware and procedures. We lost everything.

If the SDcard makers behave like the USB key makers, then there is little point to this as the makers WILL CHANGE THE HARDWARE while keeping the same reference and exterior.

Exemple: Very satisfied with a particular USB key from a famous brand, I buy the exact same again, only to get it not even being recognized by an Xbox. So, screw them. None are trustworthy. They will swindle you as soon as they can.

I see you are a blessed person (I mean it), as you apparently don't know how compelling, addictive, compulsive, gambling can become.

So, yes, don't do it if you can't afford it, but gambling is especially pernicious and dangerously tempting for a human mind, hence my warning.

Oh, and avoid gacha mobile game too. I am of the opinion that those should also be forbidden to minors.

Excuse me while I do everything you mention on my Windows 7 OS, without getting my privacy raped nor being forced to reboot at Microsoft's will.
Some games will be used on my dual boot Win 10 that is prevented from updating or acessing any of my drives that has personal data on it.

Adorable.

"Millions of people go to Vegas every year... so I think there are a lot of folks in that "not very good at math" grouping."

That's debatable, as the return on spending for the customer is higher at casinos than lottery.
Casinos give back like 85% of money spent compared to 50% for lotteries, you get the idea.
Not to mention, you get more fun time spending in the casinos than choosing your numbers for the lottery.

And disclaimer: DO NOT DO EITHER IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD IT.
