I wouldn’t treat Bloomberg as a reliable source of information, with their history of making up tech stories like the spy chips, and then sticking to that story despite it being debunked multiple times over.

How broken is the political system when expressing support for the political side supported by half the country is enough to get you blacklisted? It’s like the red scare and McCarthyism all over again, only instead of accusing people of being communist, it’s accusing people of supporting one of the two major political…
$1,200 and they couldn’t spend the five dollars to make the switch ports 2.5 gigabit so that wired clients can take advantage of faster than gigabit speeds? I mean, they put a 5 gig WAN port, but wired clients are stick at 1 gig. At that price, without 2.5 gig ports, it’s a ripoff. 2.5 gig controllers barely cost more…
So, not cheating, but piracy. That’s much better.
8 of 13 board members are leaving, I don’t think whatever’s going on is specific to Reggie.
PSVR is selling something like 1/8th as many units as the Quest 2 (it took almost five years to sell five million units, while the Q2 did more than a million in its first three months), but it’s been on the market much longer (so the total sales are much higher), and it’s near the tail end of its lifecycle. A more…
Analysts who track sales are good enough for estimates, if not exact figures. Superdata (part of Nielsen, who do the Nielsen Ratings), estimated the Quest 2 sold 1,098K units in Q4 2020, as opposed to 125K units of the PSVR, 61K units of the Valve Index, and 55k units of the Oculus Rift/Rift S…
Do you mean “did not vastly outperform” in terms of sales numbers, or technical performance? The Quest 2 is outselling the previous headset by something like an order of magnitude, it’s outselling all other VR headsets of any kind combined. It’s selling 20x more than the Rift or Index, and 10x more than the PSVR. If…
Most WMR headsets aren’t exactly a poster child for inside-out tracking done well. On headsets like the Rift S or Quest 2, the inside-out tracking volume is larger than your field-of-view, so while you might occasionally get the sense that maybe something isn’t 100% perfectly tracked when you can’t see it, it doesn’t…
DisplayPort does not support uncompressed 4K144 (let alone 4K160), which means that you can’t drive this monitor at full refresh uncompressed. Instead it must rely on display stream compression to work. If it supported HDMI 2.1, which offers far more bandwidth than currently available DisplayPort (DP 2.0 has been…
Blizzard has been owned by one publicly traded company or another since 1994.
“I lost half of my personnel in the blip, and half of those remaining lost their nerve.”
It’s implied that a lot of SWORD personnel died in space when the blip brought them back. He didn’t say they were lost in the snap, but that they were lost in the blip.
Anything that gets us more Jett Reno is a good thing. She’s my favourite character by a landslide.
It’s not quite that fast. The first episode (the start of the war) is May 11, 2256. We then jump forward to November, 2256. The war ends in late 2257 (September or later). By the end of the second season, they’ve hit 2258, and it’s speculated to be the first half of the year. So the first two seasons of the show span…
The problem is that DLSS (despite the common perception) is not an upscaling technique. It’s a temporal reconstruction technique. It requires as inputs the ability to do jittered sampling (think of it like DLSS actually renders at the output resolution but skips some pixels, and each frame it skips different pixels)…
They didn’t cast Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool. They cast Deadpool as Ryan Reynolds.
A 480p projector marketed as a 1080p projector, with zero mention of lumen rating anywhere? No thanks.

I bought them (at full price in Canada) at the start of the pandemic to listen to podcasts and audiobooks while on daily walks to stay in shape while in quarantine, and to do phone calls and meetings and such. I use them every day, and don’t regret the purchase in the slightest, even though it was a lot of money.

It may not physically fit, but it should still work if you modify the cable.
It’s so that you can scale various different consoles, that have not only different resolutions, but different screen and *pixel* aspect ratios, and still have them look good. If you put a 240x160 screen in there, what are you going to do for a 160x144 GB/GBC screen, just put borders around it, or do a super ugly 11%…
