The caveat is that it actually doesn’t matter unless you’re only ever in that one app with the screen on. In reality, the majority of phone screens getting brun in are show models in stores and defective panels. But regardless, apps lead you more into fullscreen so you don’t even have those at the bottom.

some of us even doomscroll

That would help prevent burn in.

You’d have to have those pixels showing the same color for quite a long time, like months to years. We don’t typically have our phones on that long, and with more modern OS versions, there aren’t really that many things that stay on the screen anyway. What used to be burned in on phones were the navigation bar at the bottom. Gestures are default now. The icons at the top aren’t actually static for long. And phone screens turn off after a few minutes. Dark mode being popular is a big help because the brightness of the screen is a factor. All OLEDs can get burn in, we just don’t have as many of the things that lead to burn in as before, plus a few things here and there meant to help alleviate it.

I’m away just let the screensaver save my screen?

Yup.

In that case why would anyone ever worry about burn it

Ignorance and the fact that you mostly hear about the people with problems not the ones who just bought their monitors and carried along with their lives.

Consider that almost everyone worrying about burn in has a phone with an OLED screen, that they’re not worried about. What happened with phones will happen with TVs if they ever get cheap enough to really compete with LCD.

Finally, a sane response. Of course they’ll “sound similar” because they’re both female voices attempting to come off as friendly with an American accent.

I’m more on the side of opposing AI implementations but people are really reaching with this one. I’m assuming it was pulled just so they can get their legal defense in order.

This will be another case like any other, where they take it to court, and there is no real basis for anything

Because then they’ll give up whoever it was that they used to voice the AI and it’ll be mostly over. The thing is though that if they rush into a lawsuit too eagerly, nobody’s going to want to work with them under a similar contract.

Well, they get the snuff out competition and get to hold on to IPs. The thing is though: People are saying that there are good indie games, but I won’t ever hear shit about said games unless I specifically go looking for them, which will almost never happen nowadays.

Even when I allow ads, game ads are pretty rare. AAA games were almost impossible to miss because there’s always enough buzz, positive or negative, for the big ones.

What are the job titles of the people on these teams? I would suppose physics and CS. How are those job sectors looking in terms of vacancies? I’d think that there are more workers than jobs and that this is a ploy to get less experienced people for cheaper but they’re trying to rehire the same employees.

by up to 45% on SSDs

Excuse me, what!?!

I wonder where the average is for the performance reduction. Probably something I’ll look into but I’d be pissed if I bought a drive and instantly lost even 20%.

Luckily, I’m not on Windows so I have nothing to really worry about but damn.

I’d be thinking more about how they’d plan to do it. Trump does have the Secret Service.

But good luck impeaching a man who can make his enemies disappear with a waive of his hand.

Friend, that’s why you just sign something in your office with the doors closed and not make it public.

Honestly, I didn’t even think enough about the whole thing enough to realize that the President could possibly get away with murder. Wouldn’t that make it an obvious ruling then? Could then appoint new judges to the Supreme Court. There would magically be a few openings all of a sudden after all. How is this ruling really something they’re actually considering?

Most definitely. They were complaining about them not making a profit, and they really thought blaming the few people using an Adblock made sense.

It’s all to get more Premium subscriptions. The ads are an intentional problem with the “obvious solution” being advertised right there on the homepage.

Basically, it seems to me like the technology in mobile GPUs is crazier than desktop/laptop GPUs.

It’s not. They have the same software technologies and the desktop counterparts have better hardware.

but not by enough that it seems to need to be 100x bigger than a mobile GPU.

Yes it is. No benchmarks would agree with you here. Also, just look at the power draw for each and how much noise each cooling solution makes.

And top end mobile GPUs actually perform quite admirably when it comes to graphics and power.

Depends entirely on what you see as admirable. Power efficiency wise, they’re great, but their performance isn’t anything to write home about, especially considering that they typically share cooling solutions with the CPU. And that’s at the top of the line. Lower down, it’s not all that great, with desktop counterparts having much better 1% lows when the power is more comparable.

So with most of what you said being incorrect, your conclusion is also incorrect. Generally, more surface area on coolers means they can cool higher power limits, can have bigger fans and/or have those fans spin slower so they’re much quieter. Regarding the power consumption, it’s simply diminishing returns. Mobile GPUs are just cut sooner on the graph.

I find it odd that people say “No, Nvidia is better”

I’d assume that by better, they mean the performance, I’m which Nvidia is definitely better. They’ve been doing it for longer and at this point. Account for the number of years in the game and they’re pretty equal. 20 series Ray Tracing is a joke.

The majority of people aren’t bothering with RT anyway.

They definitely did. This will easily be the top Apex news for at least a week.

I read here recently that the rich people who pay attention to Forbes for investment information avoid all Forbes contributor content and focus only official article from Forbes staff.

I understand you, but they’re not the ones who matter here tbh; it’s other laymen. I don’t use Forbes, I just know what Forbes is. Looking at that page, I’d have no idea what you’re talking about. The url is Forbes, the author’s name is there, and is labelled as a senior contributor. For most of us: “we hit Forbes boys!”

Goddamn, it really did hit Forbes. Now I’m really interested in how Respawn will handle this one.

Exactly. No reputable company is going to NOT put their logo on the phone, especially with the main other difference is the camera stack. It’s free advertising. The assumption is that you’ll throw a case or skin on it anyway.

The data being generated now sure, but there’s still the years of actually useful data there.

Then add on the remaining half of comments that are from sensible users and it’s a decent, and still fairly unique, dataset.

Google just doesn’t know what the fuck they are doing

Can you send this to Google:

“See Apple Pay and the Wallet app on iOS.”

I really don’t understand how they can see another company doing things right and still be this lackluster. Copying the good things their competition does it a good thing sometimes.

Does it really make sense to complain about fragmentation here when many distros are just downstream from others? I was on Pop! And have used Ubuntu but am on Debian at the moment. Nothing’s really changed. I installed the same application versions, I’d read the same tutorials to get things done. What am I missing here?

It doesn’t even need to be a hobby in the sense that you’re always there. Going a few times a week gets you exposed to people and you’re getting more fit and healthier. And there’s usually at least self confidence that comes along to help with finding other hobbies if you want.

RGB for Corsair (iQue on windows, open to alternatives)

What I do with my Commander is to use the onboard lighting and fan curves. Set it up on a VM or when you still have Windows.

You can also look into Liquidctl

'tis a shame you couldn’t say what words I’d put in your mouth.

No, because that would be the dev’s choice.

That “because” isn’t actually telling the reason. You’d be fine with it, because it’s on Steam. Any kind of exclusivity is also the devs choice, and you obviously have a problem when they choose to be exclusive to a platform you don’t use.

but Valve does nothing extra to encourage exclusivity.

Apart from having the most market share, that you yourself already admitted.

People have and still do complain when games aren’t on GoG.

I never asked about anybody else. I asked about you. Or should I take it you never complained when games aren’t also on GoG?

OK, we’re done. You don’t understand or acknowledge financial coercion so this is going nowhere. Byyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyye.

Oh, damn, imagine thinking that once there’s money on the table they must take it, and then at the same time, not understanding the value of a near monopoly. Steam is literally leveraging the large amount of people that will buy the game if it’s on Steam. I even acknowledged it. Me saying that they don’t have to take it is quite literally acknowledging it. But ok, byyyyyyyyyyyyyye.
