I was excited for this, until they announced it's just going to be another Warzone. Why can't they keep it simple? Drop in, loot, survive, kill, win. None of this loadout nonsense. Knowing EA they'll find some way to make it pay-to-win with "exclusive guns in this weeks Battlepack".

$20 for a decent game Every game dev and executive right now:

it's 1000/20. Bleh

Nope. I can get their gig service, but it's $175 a month. Nope....double nope

If you ever ran a 600 Hz plasma you'd understand.

Wish I could do that with Spectrum. They're the only option other than DLS. They have us by the short and curly's, so they won't apply any promotions to lower our bill. I pay $115 a month for 600/20 service.

Ripple has fiber 3/4 mile away from my development. They have no plans to bring it here. Sucks

I look forward to the RX1080 Megatron

Our VM environment is mixed use. We have several thousand SQL instances though. Instead of managing SPLA licensing ourselves we use Azure agents that report directly to M$ and get a considerable discount for doing so.

SQL can handle that already. That what max degree of parallelism is for. We can dictate how many cores a query can potentially use. Whether that is efficient is up to the query design. @Grimlakin And we have VM SQL servers with 32+ cores and 512+ GB of RAM. It makes no sense to put them on...

That's not bad. Gives me hope. Considering I might be building a house in the middle of nowhere.

Vast majority of SQL environments are virtualized. And being a VMWare engineer myself I can't think of one reason why I'd want core reduction/binding at the BIOS level on my hosts. That would limit my ability to provision cores for multi-threaded applications.

You're still paying for those cores. And SQL already uses parallelism for query acceleration.

Samsung already has MicroLED TV displays, but they're huge, and the cheapest smallest 89" one is $110k. 101" is $130k. Problem isn't whether they can, it's cost and complexity of producing microLED's at scale. Plus they need to make them smaller, another challenge, to produce smaller display...

We're well beyond that being a reality. Everything is moving towards ray tracing, upscaling and frame generation. I'm OK with it.
