Are these region-limited? They don’t show up over here in Europe, so... ?

The point is that backroads in Sweden are so narrow, that swerving and hitting the cones would not land you in the opposite lane. It would mean that your rear tires would be in the dirt/ditch, and you would really, really spin out of control. And THEN have an angry moose near you.

It was left in movable condition. The thieves and vandals took parts that were needed to move it. Now it is necessary to bring in heavy equipment to dismantle it on the spot, probably damaging way more soil than would’ve been necessary otherwise.

Heh, so it is a char with character?
I’d take it any day over an Audi A4 in basic trim. Those things are godawful boring. The Avantime sounds like a typical french car: Lots of things where you don’t understand why they did it (or even how), but in the end, if you use it as intended (i.e. no kids in the back seat and…

eh, even in Germany with a high density of road networks and cities, you sometimes have to wair 1-2 hours for a tow truck - depending on time and day of the week, there are not that many companies active in your area.

It looks nice, but there are more - and maybe better - options for driving a 962 on public roads.

You may be on point with that, I hope that someone has access to this demo to test this out :D

As for the speed: Maybe Sony speculated on NVME Gen4 SSDs with similar specs being available now. And yes they are, but at a very high price point. Or maybe they originally planned to give us even more storage space, so the…

No, this has just to do with hard tech facts and debunking marketing BS. All companies are guilty of this at some point or another.
And yes, I am basically saying that developers cannot utilize the internal SSD to its fullest potential, because they will always have to face the possibility that their game might be…

You are also getting it completely wrong I am afraid.
Nobody said that an SSD would not have been needed to produce the game in its current state.
What the developers have said though was that without the proprietary PCIe Gen4 tech with onboard data compression that Sony installed on the mainboard of the PS5, that…

Now that is the big question. When it comes to random access times, the earlier generation (Gen3) is not really slower than the current one or the built-in drive, it depends more on the drive controller chip and the cache memory onboard.
Gen4 is only faster in linear reads of large file chunks, and that doesn’t happen…

You are not replacing it, you are expanding your storage to be able to play more games without first moving them from external USB storage to the internal drive, deleting/moving others in the process.
The size of the internal PS5 SSD is woefully under-dimensioned for the sizes of current-gen games, if you aren’t only…

You are contradicting yourself.
On the one side, you accept in your last paragraph that a title, that touted that it would only be possible to make “due to the performance of the fast SSD of the PS5" runs on a drive that is much slower.

In the first paragraph, you are saying, that the PS5 benchmarks the drive before…

The “Youtuber” you are discarding here is a professional game programmer, who has been doing this for a living. On his channel he regularly explains how theoretically “impossible” things were done on older consoles, and he has been active until the most recent generation (and probably might still be, though under NDA…

You didn’t get the point of the video, and didn’t understand his technical explanations it seems then.
What he shows is that the new Ratchet & Clank does nothing that is so special that it would NEED the speed of the PS5 SSD at all. Even with the high-res textures it uses, the moments when you travel to “other worlds”…

The paragraph you quoted has been dismissed for some time by industry insiders. This was nicely shown in the following video:

wouldn’t fly in Germany. Back here, the GEMA handles all licensing of artists under their wing, and also most foreign artists that are handled by other companies in their home countries. It wants to get a list of each song played, how much of it has been played, how big the audience was etc... after each “live”…

haha, so true the last two parts. “Spilled water on it” and “got run over by car because I forgot it on the roof / left it on the trunk” are the 2 main reasons for defective laptops I’ve seen :D
The only difference: A macbook pro that got a sip of water was dead. A Thinkpad that got run over by a SUV still booted and…

In short: No. More “raw power” means more amps, and more amps means more heat - first at the converter circuitry which converts it into the correct voltage for the chips to work with, second in the chips themselves. If they start to throttle it is because they’ve exceeded the maximum power that was deemed safe for…

The biggest complaint I have with this - and ALL Teslas - is the lack of an estate. I want a large cargo area without having an ugly, ugly, UGLY unnecessarily large and high SUV bullshit thing.
Give me a practical BEV estate for a reasonable price, doesn’t need 300hp or go from 0-60 in under 8 seconds or something. It…

Most modern components have circuitry to prevent catastrophic fails. What you might see are hiccups, stutters in the rendered graphics or game crashes before the chip is really damaged. That would signal that it’s time to clean out the dust from the coolers and change the thermal interface material, which isn’t…
