OMG, here we go again…

My job title is an acronym, inside the company no one seems to agree on what this acronym stands for. So yes, I just say I work in the Automotive industry.

I am curious to see the next series from AMD. I am wishing for a new gaming rig for about a year now. I was really considering getting the 7900XT/XTX. If the mid-range for the next gen is performing well, that might just do it.

I am tempted to compare the market of handheld PC to this of Single Board Computers.

You have on one hand the Raspberry Pi and steamdeck: first successful on a niche market, develop the hardware and the software to deliver a complete experience, open and hackable.

On the other hand, you have all the followers, throwing out some random imitations, with better spec. sheets, but no Software support, or just the bare minimum and ultimately the experience offered isn’t a match.

How are they hoping to compete with the steamdeck if none of them put in the effort to develop a complete and functional user experience? Acer and Asus with collect the scraps and nothing more.

Out of all the marketing letters (E, G, I, R, T and X) X is definitely the betterest!

That’s 50% more Xs ! You can beat this deal !

I bet only British tourists are shopping in this section. French people craving for beans are just eating cassoulet.

Sorry for the unhelpful comment. But I must say. As someone fortunate enough to have lived my whole life with public health care, the length of the comments in this thread is absolutely frightening.

I wish you the best of luck.

Ok ! I had no idea it had a name. Thanks.

What is the “soyjak”?

This is a 3rd degree food-crime, definitely premeditated.

None of these triangles are right-angle triangles 📐

I hope for her own sake that it’s fake because tattoo removal doesn’t work all that well a d it’s a long and painful procedure that will most probably leave scars.

It’s it the same problem tho? Xbox S/X can also target different graphics (resolution, frame rate, quality) but feature parity is required.

Would anyone be ok with, for example, split screen multiplayer mode available only on PS5 Pro, but not on PS5 nor PS5 slim?

I don’t understand why they would release a PS5 Pro. For the PS4 / Xbox One generation, it was somewhat justified because 4K TV became widely available and desirable shortly after the release of this generation, making the consoles almost obsolete.

This time around, I don’t see the performance of theses consoles as a big problem. Interest has declined because prices of consoles and games are high, and there are not that many exiting games to play on them.

Making a more powerful variant has some disadvantages too, making game development more complex to support all variants. Microsoft has already suffered from this strategy with the Xbox series X/S.l, e.g:with BG3 local multiplayer

Ichirou Inuyashiki is a 58-year-old family man who is going through a difficult time in his life. Though his frequent back problems are painful, nothing hurts quite as much as the indifference and distaste that his wife and children have for him. Despite this, Ichirou still manages to find solace in Hanako, an abandoned Shiba Inu that he adopts into his home. However, his life takes a turn for the worse when a follow-up physical examination reveals that Ichirou has stomach cancer and only three months to live; though he tries to be strong, his family’s disinterest causes an emotional breakdown. Running off into a nearby field, Ichirou embraces his dog and weeps—until he notices a strange figure standing before him.

Suddenly, a bright light appears and Ichirou is enveloped by smoke and dust. When he comes to, he discovers something is amiss—he has been reborn as a mechanized weapon wearing the skin of his former self. Though initially shocked, the compassionate Ichirou immediately uses his newfound powers to save a life, an act of kindness that fills him with happiness and newfound hope.

However, the origins of these strange powers remain unclear. Who was the mysterious figure at the site of the explosion, and are they as kind as Ichirou when it comes to using this dangerous gift?

Synopsis from myanimelist.net

The end is from Inuyashiki: Last hero. Pretty cool anime, only 11 episodes so it’s pretty fast to watch. I recommend.

Yes, I have my Solokey for a while. I can count the compatible services I use on the fingers of one hand. Passkey, as of today, even fewer…

As I understand it, instead of the website or online service storing your password (in a, supposedly secured way), with passkey your password manager stores a private key and the online service stores a public key (or rather a lock). The key and the lock are paired together cryptographically (mathematical functions that are non-reversible). Now when you login with passkey, the service sends a challenge generated from the lock, that can be solved only with the matching private key, your password manager solves the challenge and your authenticated. Locks and keys were not exchanged during the process, and services never store your key. Everything happens automagically.

It actually uses the same protocol used is some hardware security keys such as Yubikey and Solokeys. The problem remains the same as with hardware security keys, adoption and support, compatibility. It’s very rare that a service supports these options, although they exist for a while.

Anyone feels free to correct me if I wrote something wrong. I am by no mean an expert.

On Linux, for sure. But OP hasn’t mentioned using Linux, I suppose they use Windows. I don’t think AMD offers an Open-source driver for Windows.
