- Comment on Intel breaks silence on 13th and 14th-gen Raptor Lake desktop CPU instability issues 3 months ago:
"Gamers Nexus, on the other hand, thinks the issue is more deep rooted and originates from a foundry-level fault."
- The GN piece makes it very clear that this claim is not definitely true but is a line of inquiry.
- Intel statement does not definitely exclude this hypothesis, the flawed CPU might need the lower voltage to work around the flaw.
- The obvious question this article does not address is what will be the performance hit for the patched parts?
That’s a bit annoying to see GN so grossly misquoted when Steve spends half the run time of the video explaining that they are not sure of anything at this point.
- Comment on Canoo spent double its annual revenue on the CEO’s private jet in 2023 7 months ago:
The CEO leased the jet from himself with company funds? How is that even legal? How can the investors expect to get anything from this company when the CEO is so blatantly sucking the company dry?
- Comment on English may be a hot mess but at least we don't have to worry about this nonsense 8 months ago:
English weirdly use feminine for ships, so think of it like that. But no it doesn’t achieve much.
I don’t think it change the way we think about objects much, but probably unconsciously yes. For example, France itself is feminine and seeing some caricature personifying as a dude always feels weird.
Usage dictates the gender. And some recent words are more or less controversial: gameboy, wifi, COVID, Nutella…
When I think about the gender of a word I will usually derive it from a broader category. But that’s not always obvious, for example Gameboy is a game console (feminine) but the words game and boy are masculine. COVID is a disease (feminine) but also a virus (masculine). And in the meme a washing machine is a machine (feminine).
You can’t not use gender since french doesn’t have neutral pronouns. But I don’t think it’s frowned upon for a non native speaker to make this kind of mistakes.
- Comment on Intel's comeback appears on track — CEO Gelsinger says 18A process node performance is 'a little bit ahead' of TSMC's N2, but Intel's process arrives a year earlier than TSMC's 10 months ago:
He’s not even promising that, he’s saying he “thinks” he is ahead. And he tells nothing about yields, having the greatest node is useless if you can’t deliver volume.
- Comment on Tesla removes Disney+ app amid Elon Musk's feud with Disney CEO Bob Iger 11 months ago:
Bob, you know what you have to do. Remove him from Iron Man, that’s petty, useless and perfect.
- Comment on The state of open source SMS messagers 11 months ago:
Qksms is dead? That’s a bummer I was quite happy with it after signal stopped being a great SMS app for some reason.
- Comment on The state of open source SMS messagers 11 months ago:
That is the one selling out. All “simple” tools where sold to an ad firm, the f-droid version is probably fine for now but if you got it from Google play : run.
- Comment on Elon Musk vows ‘thermonuclear lawsuit’ as advertisers flee X over antisemitism 11 months ago:
Yes advertisers are only publicly insulted not sued : “Many of the largest advertisers are the greatest oppressors of your right to free speech.”
I suppose that’s meant to inspire confidence they will not be sued, only slightly bullied if they come back.
- Comment on GTA 6’s Publisher Says Video Games Should Theoretically Be Priced At Dollars Per Hour 1 year ago:
Well you have to take the price of the system you run the game on into account. If you spent hundreds of dollars to buy a game and a console (pc gaming is even worse), you need a lot of content to reach parity with something like a cinema ticket or a Netflix subscription.
This hobby is expensive, particularly because it’s main demographics is children or cash strapped young adults. Maybe it’s good value if you spend hundreds of hours on a few games, maybe take-two is feeling that it doesn’t get its fair share from these hundreds of dollars, but they should not be deluded into thinking it’s cheap for the customer.
- Comment on quatre-vingts 1 year ago:
The “four twenties” might seems more familiar to americans by replacing “twenties” by “score” as in : " four score and seven years ago…"
