AMD have the right idea in trying to target the value to performance crowd. People that want every dollar to count. You get diminishing returns the higher you reach and that’s the biggest drawback to Nvidia. The abysmal value.

But I hate Nvidia from a moral perspective as well. Proprietary software, paying game developers to use that software, inflated claims that their hardware will play those games better because of that software, then convincing the average public they just have a superior product when all they’re really good at is what amounts to bribes.

Ryzen has been more effective than RX because Intel had zero ability to respond and still doesn’t. They went to make GPUs because they couldn’t break the wall for CPUs. Before AMD crawled out of the grave, Nvidia and Intel had a full blown market monopoly. Inescapable.

I’m not interested in that continuing, so I’ll stick out a 7% worse product for $200 less and hope that throwing money at AMD will get them to compete on the bleeding edge with Nvidia like they are with Intel.

To me, buying Nvidia for performance is like buying an APC as a daily driver for work because of it’s safety rating. The cost long term does not at all seem worth it.

I’ve never bought Nvidia but they become more like Apple every day. Why be consumer friendly for niche PC builders? The average gamer already associates Nvidia with performance so it’s time to rely on good ol brand loyalty!

I don’t like the implication that Pokémon GO was bad when it got a ton of people to go outside and interact with each other. This is cool too though.

Linux using proprietary drivers always feels like a plane using a transmission to me.

Plaintext should never be used in any application that deals with security, ever.

Only 29%? The fuck does Nintendo even have on there?

Wasn’t scared about microplastics before this headline so it’s effective.

has been bombarded with reactions (both good and bad)

Are articles just school essays with a minimum word count?

I had a cool idea that I completely gave up on because I tried to learn how to do it and realized what I was asking was so insanely complicated and time consuming that I couldn’t do it. I play a lot of games, I know what would make a good one, there’s just a gaping chasm between knowing and creating.

Biometric is high security against thieves and nosy girlfriends, not kidnappers or cops apparently. You need to be physically present for most of them which means it can’t be done without you knowing. The problem arises when the person who wants access also has access to you.
