a.k.a. the heatlesssun era. What a time. But in retrospect, he wasn't the asshole - I was the asshole for being one of the people arguing with him, and mostly only serving to stress another human being out because he was legitimately a good guy. And there's not even anything to show for now, all...

Ahh the soft-trolling of "I haven't personally experienced what you've described, it must be an exaggeration so why do you hate Microsoft?" The astroturfing on this has always been a little odd - and not specifically anyone in this thread but overall. I get that some feel like it's a...

Nobody has the answer to this except MLID who will have made it up, since even Nvidia likely hasn't decided timing this far out, because it's a spreadsheet decision with variables in a state of flux between now and launch. As for anything being a bad move, it's moot because the gaming target...

People choosing to trade privacy for convenience features on Android or iPhone does not entitle Microsoft to anything. If you let a neighbor borrow your lawnmower, is that a green light for any neighbor to help themselves to anything in your garage whenever they feel like? The resistance to many...

Accurate. "Off" was removed from their UX design vocabulary long ago because it has a quantitative value. There's no ambiguity. The shift in language to "Minimal", "Minimum", "Basic", etc was devised and focus-grouped to create the illusion of user choice, while having no quantitative value MS...

I've been following Bazzite - it probably warrants its own thread. So far it's looking like the closest thing to a SteamOS for general desktops unless and until Valve-time ever releases the actual thing. It includes the SteamDeck UI experience which is superior in many ways to booting Windows...

Yep the 980 Pro was mentioned, and Samsung got a black eye for that one, but it doesn't appear to really be part of an overall pattern of behavior. Whereas the OEM's mixing and matching components as well as changing them without notice as they go are part of a more systemic problem created by...

The messaging here is that they are fully vertical, while the rest of the market tends to be drives built with a hodge podge of third party components. It doesn't make Samsung drives immune to problems - the 980 Pro had some turbulence - but there's accountability, they own any problems. There's...

Imagine always being the smartest one in the room?

Clickbait-slime is the only thing keeping the lights on for a lot of these tech sites. Nvidia drivers aren't infallible, but all the other systems at the tourney were on identical hardware including GPU. If anything, people jumping up and down about one exception during one game kinda proves the...

If Valve parlayed SteamDeck's success and the SteamOS advancements into rebooting the SteamBox concept that blew up on the launchpad last time, I think it'd find some success now that Valve has much more supply chain experience building VR hardware as well as the Deck. And then god forbid a...

IMO, third party exclusives isn't why PS5 dominates, it's not the primary motivator for customers. It's firstparty, Sony invests a lot in their in-house studios, which make some of the best titles. I realize this isn't news. Microsoft understood the critical importance of firstparty when the...
