Are any of us AI, really? What is reality? In a universe of red and blue pills, why are we restricting ourselves to just two "realities"? Who is to say which is the generated and which is true, since we all seek to manipulate our surroundings no matter how it is presented to us?

I've run Bluestacks before. I don't have any reason to any longer, but when I did, it worked more or less as expected. It's a virtualized environment, but I wouldn't make any claims as to how sandboxed it is. Wasn't Microsoft supposed to have the Android Store available semi-natively on Windows...

I can't really say I disagree with this. There are some that are squarely on the publisher - like decisions to force inclusion of DRM, or in-game advertising, or saying "We need more buzzwords" - but at the end of the day, the end result is the direct product of the developers. There are always...

You guessed correctly - I am too old for that too. I don't watch much screen content at all honestly - occasionally a show on HBO or Netflix, and then games on the PC. Forums and newsfeeds when I'm just stuck with just the phone... and ... apart from what is required for work, I try to find...

I don't think I do - but that is kind of the scary part here, you may have one and not know it. Many dealers just blanket install them on everything, and do a good enough job of hiding them. And if they can't convince you to pay for it... they just leave it in there.

I guess if you can ban PornHub in a state, why not TikTok as well? I mean, put the rationale aside, and the end result and mechanism is essentially the same. (and now I see I'm victim to a chat bot necro bump /sigh)

I solved that by avoiding Youtube all together. I can't think of the last thing I watched over there. Every now and then it's almost unavoidable if you are looking for directions on something (many companies are releasing "manuals" as Youtube videos now, which... is another thing that points to...

Yeah that was the biggest reason I stopped paying for Cable OTA was free, with ads. Cable/Satellite - you pay (a lot) for, and still have the ads anyway (maybe even more ads). There are entire channels dedicated to just being ads on Cable... it got to be rediculous.

Easy way to boost the game library when you have canned all the developers

It wasn't really about x86 - it was about Windows support. And Valve is finally changing that equation. The CPU hasn't been the weak link in gaming for a long time now.

GIven that gaming is much more sensitive to the GPU than CPU, and ARM can be a pretty capable CPU when you want it to be... I'd say the GPU count tells the story. The 5070 has 6,144 Blackwell cores, so that's roughly the same as the higher core count in this. Power would be the other part of...

HAHAHA Well they weren't lying.

So the layoffs will be next week then?

We get 3 or 4 of these a month for Microsoft, in-between the "Microsoft Update nukes your computer/fills your hard drive/bricks your laptop" self-inflicted damage. And a handful a year for Linux. You get one in a blue moon for Apple and it becomes headline worthy. Not sure what that says...

I'll admit if my current machine crapped out, I'd consider it, looking at it as a replacement and the cost of building a new gaming rig from scratch today. But it makes for an expensive curiosity when I have a more capable gaming computer on my desk.

I agree - pretty cool here. I'm kinda surprised physical distribution stuck with CDs and didn't move to this route, but I guess it kinda died before it had the chance to make the technology shift (despite the internet cries going out to Sony lately - the vocal minority).

Also. Seems that even though nVidia is announcing this, when you read about Spark, it sure seems like they are pushing it towards AI use too. And if it can be used for AI, the voracious appetite of that monster consumes all.

First off - ok, so RTX Spark is a CPU. There kinda needs to be an entire machine, with Ram and storage and stuff... Second - it's ARM... so not exactly groundbreaking for anything to be ported to an ARM CPU these days. And lastly - people have to buy these machines, and then the games, for...
