The “6" here refers to the Wi-Fi generation, not the broadcast frequency. On WiFi 6, your frequency options are still 2.4/5Ghz like before.

Yes, 720p divides evenly - but many games were sub-720p. 540p and 600p were very common resolutions in the PS3/360 era as those consoles just didn’t quite have the grunt. That will look far worse.

Not only that, but use already-flawed smartphone ports as the source material for the remaster, rather than the original PC/console releases.

As well as offline LAN support especially for coop games. Just disable rankings and whatever. 

Old-school PC multiplayer games like the original COD without server-side rankings and stuff typically shift the responsibility of server hosting onto the community, so there wasn’t any cost incurred by the developers, and thus no plug to pull.

I use wifi with my phone, laptop, Switch, TV, etc because those are devices that I either move around a lot or that don’t benefit from extreme speed/latency. For anything that stays in the same place almost 100% of the time - like my desktop PC or my PS5 - I use wired, because why not? Even the most expensive WiFi 6…

Average speeds have been improving for a while, but the upload/download rates aren’t actually the limiting factor in cloud streaming. Downloading at 1 Gbps has the exact same input latency as downloading at 50 Mbps. The speed at which each individual packet traverses the physical connection is not something either the…

Something many people also overlook is that multiplatform AAA games often had a technically subpar experience on PS3. Especially Bethesda RPGs. The resolution wasn’t even 720p (imagine how horrible that will look on modern 4k TVs), and the framerate would often fall below 20 fps in intense scenes. It’s a consequence…

Your internet throughput doesn’t make a difference with the quality of cloud streaming, as long as it’s above the minimum. Whether your speed is 1Gbps or 50Mbps, the laws of physics will inevitably spoil the experience in the form of latency. If you’re lucky enough to have a fiber connection (and you connect to the…

Even on PS5, Digital Foundry discovered that so far, none of the games released up to this point actually “need” the 5500 MB/s recommendation. In fact, SSDs that are below that speed actually work in the PS5 as long as the hardware interface is PCIe Gen 4. Games like Rift Apart were shown to exhibit zero noticeable…

The fact that the Deck’s resolution is only 1280x800 also means the throughput requirements for loading graphical assets should be generally lower than on a full-blown PC/PS5/Series X connected to a 4k display.

While it’s a downgrade on paper, in practice, there really aren’t any AAA PC games right now that will actually see a tangible performance drop from this.

Not that white supremacists are known for logical reasoning, but one of their favorite talking points is how non-white women supposedly breed children like rabbits to squeeze the welfare system (never mind that welfare pays significantly less than the actual cost of raising a child, but I digress).

I always thought the Crosstour (and the similar Acura ZDX) were a response to the BMW X6, not the Venza. At least the Venza had a far more practical body style and wasn’t fugly.

Trimming the fat in case of a slowdown in the near future.

The list is technically “the most North American”. Many articles on this topic omit the fact that Canadian and US parts are considered one and the same for determining US content. It’s a holdover from the 1960s Auto Pact. You can even see stickers like this in car dealerships where they show percentage of “US/Canadian…

Everyone’s favorite boogeyman (China) is heavily invested into automation anyway, due to rising labor costs (now more expensive than Mexico) and a demographic crisis (not enough young people for the factories). It’s no surprise that made-in-China quality has skyrocketed over the years. 

Slight correction: Tesla isn’t “offshoring” to China. The Chinese plant serves Asia-Pacific markets. Shipping cars for long distances across oceans is expensive, adds delays, and contributes to climate change, so if they can cut down on that, everyone wins. It’s the same reason why the Berlin plant exists (primarily…

There really needs to be a price cap for EV tax credits regardless of brand and country of manufacture.

All full-sized pickups (and the SUVs sharing those platforms) just scream “America” even if they carry Japanese badges.
