Processor architecture was always the same for console refreshes into cheaper slim models. It’s the massive slowdown of manufacturing improvements or nodes that is preventing price cuts. Processor architecture only affects new generations of consoles and premium versions like ps5 pro.

El Capitan uses 30 megawatts, not 30 kilowatts

It’s not hyped in the media, probably because it’s Chinese companies doing it, but there have been massive strides towards creating humanoid robotics in the past couple of years. They aren’t nearly to the point of being autonomous but there’s a simple humanoid robot that’s selling for 5900 today.

Maybe first-time home buyer programs? But those are like 3% typically so it wouldn’t get you there and that’s before including closing costs, moving costs, and possible repairs.

It says in the article that it’s over 11 years

A long time ago Elon promised that full self-driving would be coming to existing cars that had their self-driving package installed which was cameras only. Elon is probably sticking with cameras only to avoid a lawsuit.

Fun fact: Robespierre was nicknamed the incorruptible (prior to the reign of terror) for his strong moral convictions including his opposition to the death penalty.

Moore’s law is kinda still in effect, depending on your definition of Moore’s law. However, Dennard Scaling is not so computer performance isn’t advancing like it used to.

He’s referring to the

Lmao can’t provide proof when called out. Cmon show me all the EA, Activision, Bethesda, Ubisoft, Square Enix, From soft, Cdpr, etc titles with a base price of $150. This should be easy since everyone’s doing it.

Groceries (and energy costs) were excluded from inflation in the 1970s as politicians decided that they were “too volatile”.

Can you provide links to, say 5 different games who’s base price without dlc is $150?

You’ve probably tried this but in case you haven’t: try putting isopropyl alcohol in the gaps around the bumpers, it can clean the contacts and make the bumpers work again.

But yeah I’ve also has a ton of first party xbox controllers fail on me, although usually its the left stick or right trigger (I mostly play rocket league which abuses both) and was mostly the xbox one controllers so I’ve switched to more durable 3rd party controllers.

The xbox one controllers I had developed stick drift after 6 months or so, series controllers held up better but I still ended up swapping to hall effect and more recently tmr sticks to avoid stick drift

I was very tired when I posted that and skipped over the air part. By pellets I meant little ice cubes

Remember that it doesn’t take the water in liquid form, pellets only.

I remember for Destiny 1 there was a figure of roughly 1 billion thrown around. That figure included like 8 years of server costs and future development costs for expansions, which ended up also including Destiny 2. Probably a similar situation for other games nearing that total.

The best source I could find on this was IGN and they claim a $100 million budget for BG3.

PCIe scaling isn’t really significant. With a 4090 you lose 2% going to 3.0 instead of 4.0 at 1440p per techpowerup https://www.techpowerup.com/review/nvidia-geforce-rtx-4090-pci-express-scaling/28.html

He is using amd instead of nvidia and linux instead of windows but his card is so much slower that the drop should be a lot less

From some other benches people have posted, ultra settings at 1440p he should be averaging 180 fps then even if he is using 3.0 x4 due to lane splitting from ssds which is roughly equivalent to pcie 1.1 x16 then it’s probably still not the main culprit

Ominous
