Oh yea stadia, wasn't that the service did did not allow you to use your existing steeam/epic ( for the 5non fortnight players this was relevant to), or goog libraty. Yea hoepw did that work out?

A thousand times this, gaming can'r use puffers so you need a connection that can deliver stady capacity at the raye you need whit very little ( ideaky no, but real world,,,) jitter, and to most people the last part is the killer

No one shuld ever drive a pinto those where dangerous from day1. They should never have been let out of the factory let alone avoid the breakers yard for this long

Oh plasma, alsso known as the radiator that is also known as a good display,depending on where you live you are inflating you air conditioning costs forvat least part of the year

Yes becuse at the time ( at least back in N64 says) there where no cots components thst could do graphics for any product that would be priced for consumers. Thst is not so much the case today

i have very little reason to doubt your claim, but then again I have very little reason to believe you, so mey I tequestva link to the sorce of that claim?

A gpu miner is a vety inefficient heater to much energu goes into mining coins, traditional resistive heating is 100% efficient when it comes to converting electricity to heat, your GPU can't even get close

Allso the LP has higher nouse floor ( on equipment most people have) and lover dynamic range. Nahh give me 16 bir@44khz losslees ( or equivalent) any day, technically superior and less faff. Don't get me wrong musuc is a personal experience, if you prefere the sound of the LP or the mood the ritual of putting one on puts you in, well good for you I could not be happier, But claming that tge format IS Better without qualifiers is just plain wrong.. it has been messured.

Also a lot of consumer technology has now matured to such a degree that the period of dramatic improvements on an almost yearly schedule is already mostly in the past so now we can realy expect only gradual improvements, but this does not create exiting press events and hype, so what are Apple and others todo to create yearly fomo and freqent strong sales of this years model? Right create some faf assed service and gate keep it to this years model, it wotks great for young adolds, but sadly for most slashdoter we have seen this all before and read pr nonsens and move on

Free from whos perspective, that is the question

And in the conrext of the times ie 8/16 bit computers and ram being way more expensive than it is now by a rather large margin even adjusting for inflation. There you see who looks silly now? And no I'm not defendig mr gates but such statements thend to have a time limit on tgem ( tho not stated) after which the reality rgat the statement was made has changed so much as to meke the statement invalud. The same with the " ther will be a world market for about ( was it 5j computers. Yea those computers where room sized consumed 10s of KWs and cost serious money just to rent let alone to buy, so I would tend to agree with him on that. Of whst he did not know what know one could know at that time was the drasyick price reduction integrated circuits and later cpus would make when it comes to size power consumption and prize

No easy communication system wuth friends Hmm don'r you have dsiscord for that ?

The probkem is thet the roi probably materializes after the locup on the managements stock options ends so they don't much care, and most svatholders don't much care beond a few quarters out so this type of long term project is a very hard sell esp if the company in question is not in tech. As much as it anny os slashdot ers ( at ,east a lot of os ) it is considered a cost centre by most, sad but true

Or drop another layer of complexity and frankly bad patching qa over the last year and transition from wsl to linux on bare netal/ hypervisor with no windows at all, at some point you have to start questioning what windows adds to the value chain

Not necessarily (ok I know I'm not a data point but whatever) I dob't own any steam hw, but I game on linux every day since feb/march this year (yea I know I'm a bit late to the party) Ok I'm not an mmo player (mostly construction simulator, Roadcraft, a it of Sarisfactory and lately quite a lot of Docked and everything works perfectly, shout out to Vaulve for ptoton. Even remote gaming works like a champ when I'm away ftom my rig thanks to Sunshine and Moonlight, let me tell you I'm not going back to windows at all MS can die tomorow and I will not notice paart from the entire tech press gong absolutely bonkres
