By the argument of “only an idiot upgrades every hardware refresh”, then I can apply that same argument to consoles. Also 12 years for a PC? That’s before dual cores were even a thing. I’m surprised you were able to play anything remotely modern at a playable framerate.

Well, that depends on what kind of money you’re willing to spend on the case, motherboard, and PSU normally. Sure you get less “stuff” for the money going smaller, but honestly most people don’t go beyond a single video card, two drives, and an i5. So I think spending money on something you never use for the life of…

How am I supposed to play Basketball against my non-existant car AI?

One can wait as long as it takes for a console game to drop in price. Not to mention that for $60 a year, you can get at least 12 free games in that time span thanks to PS+, as well as discounts and flash sales on top of that.

A new console costs $400. Let’s say that happens every two years.

Maybe it uses real leather and chrome? Maybe the engine is lined with gold leaf?

I want to know this failure case. At the depiction of an autonomous intersection, throw something in there, be it a dumb butt pedestrian, a dog, or some other large debris that will give you a bad time if you hit it. What will the cars do and how will that cascade down the line? Is the accordion effect really a human…

My problem is when “audiophiles” butt in though is they make it sound like going uber high-end with equipment is going to create a magical experience for me.

I may not know what your definition of “crisp” is but things sound the same out of my ASUS Z170i as they do on my Walkman NW-A117 on my Z906 speakers. I can’t speak for the microphone because I have USB mono headset for that.

In terms of actual specs and output, RealTek’s upper end solutions are up there with high end sound cards, to the point where sure, the other sound solutions are technically superior, but just barely so. It’s like saying Video Card A is better than Video Card B, even though Card A gets like 2-3FPS more and both of…

Onboard solutions however have pretty much matched the quality of “high-end” sound cards in the past few years. And a lot of the upper midrange to higher end motherboards are doing their best to shield the audio processors from noise.

So what you’re saying is I should take a profession that doesn’t require electronics all that much.

Because despite our best efforts, some people don’t know how to drive at all.

... when every developer thinks their app is important enough to keep your phone on all the time.

I at least want the first two Metal Gear games remade because honestly while I don’t mind retro games, the MSX ones to me feel a little hard to swallow.

Doesn’t lithium as the charge carrier have the best weight/capacity? I figured once you’re at the least dense solid material, that’s pretty much it.

You need a fixed passive point of reference that can be sensed from any where in the world at any time. The magnetic poles are the only closest thing we have to that.

Don’t tell them that we run all of our mains electricity at really high voltages for as long as we can until the very end.

Well some people really do need this explained to them like they were a three year old.

Not only does it say it won’t apply to all passenger vehicles, but said vehicle needs to exceed a weight limit.
