Imperial system: pounds are weight, slugs are mass

This is a website (and author) that had an “article” saying atomic clocks use distant stars to measure the earth’s spin...

No,  in the US you’re time constrained. When you have a 1 week vacation you aren’t going to spend 4 days of it on a train just to get to your destination and back...

I mean everyone with a gaming PC that’s less than 5 years old has an 8K capable device. They don’t have an 8K tv yet but that’ll be here within a couple years. Modern Samsung phones even take 8K video (not that it matters with that tiny of a sensor) that maybe...just maybe...you’d want to watch on an 8K display.

In the not too distant future you will be able to buy an 8K display. In that case virtually any recent computer would be able to stream any content to it (be it youtube, steam remote play of jackbox or any other random game, or just your desktop screen saver). The author made incorrect blank statements that this would

My issue is that the original article said that only an RTX 3090 and amd equivalent can do 8K streaming at all.... they are saying that you literally need those to stream 8K video of your screensaver. They didn’t clarify that they meant “3d, intensive games” An uninformed reader would just assume that they literally

The article is more like “not only is future proofing stupid, but also you literally shouldn’t even care about 8K streaming because if you have Comcast in an area with data caps, only stream over the internet, and only play triple A games it isn’t worth it because that’s the _only_ possible way of using it! (only

...as someone who has been on Kotaku for 10 years...I don’t give a shit who the author is...just how inaccurate the article is... so passive aggressive crap doesn’t belong here.

Again, unrelated to the internet. A 5GHz network in this context is merely the type of wifi radio used in your router.

It doesn’t make a difference for jackbox, but it also doesn’t undermine my point that the author is writing something completely false here. You don’t need an RTX 3090 to stream at 8K. You need it if you want to play a AAA game at 60FPS, but there are thousands of smaller games that would run perfectly fine streaming

“And you just assumed that people would only be playing games like Fall Guys. Results will obviously vary based on your PC configuration and game being played, but my original point still stands.”

A GTX 1050 cannot maintain 60 fps at an 8K resolution. With a game like Division 2, the GTX 1050 can do around 46 fps at 1080p on medium graphics at best.”

So the main issues with your article:

Ah, still shilling a grey market that resells cd keys....

Some weird omissions here. Doom Eternal but no Doom (2016). Wolfenstein The New Order and Wolfenstein Youngblood, but not Wolfenstein The New Colossus.

You say this...but that won’t actually fuck with them. Instead it’ll just be used to build up a profile on you as being “anti tracking” along with what websites you use, and then companies will start advertising things to you that fit that profile. There isn’t any human to fuck with, just automated systems.

Wow the color quality is awful. I’d almost rather read in black and white than have it ruin the colors that badly...

It doesn’t damage it. The owner in this story was likely being over cautious. Long term (5-10 years) the battery capacity will decrease faster if you continuously do full charge and discharge cycles (much like a phone).

Am I the only one absolutely tired of recycling of the 5 basic enemy types...over and over and over and over. “Ok new season, Fallen bad guys. Ok new season, hive. Ok new season, Taken. Ok new season Cabal. Ok new season, fallen” over and over.

> A week after its logic-defying surge began, GameStop stock is still holding strong, despite more shenanigans and goofy twists, closing at $325 today. That’s higher than Facebook, Apple, and Microsoft.
