- Comment on What's the thing video players do after lag where they speed up the footage to catch up to the current frame before playing as normal? 1 day ago:
i dont know if that has a specific term, but it generally revolves around the render queue. different players/renderers handle what happens when the render queue isnt ready to play.
MadVR (a popular upscaling renderer for MPCHC) for example has an option to pause render queue till full.
ome player may have it setup as always play each frame which causes random slowdowns/speedups, other might implement it as drop frames to always be time synced correctly.
- Comment on Framework unveils a second-generation Framework Laptop 16 with a swappable Nvidia RTX 5070 GPU, an industry first, shipping in November 2025 1 day ago:
hence why Mention the titles a bit sensationalist.
its using a gpu company that rarely does it, for the first time in awhile in a very specific way, as that’s not the title of the thread that OP links.
the idea of a laptop dgpu isnt new the idea of a removable laptop dgpu(mxm) the idea of a removable nvidia laptop dgpu isnt new(same as above, also asus rog flow attachable gpus) the idea of a slottable gpu isnt new (frameworks 7700s came before it)
its the combination of the above which is pigeonholing the definition hard enough that it really doesnt have any real merit.

thr frameworks AMD 7700s came before it, so it wouldn’t be the first.

the title is sensationaliat, as the gpu part has been done before (mxm gpus)
the only induatry first off the top pf my head is the 240w usb c epr charger for a laptop
- Comment on YouTube secretly tested AI video enhancement without notifying creators 2 days ago:
Nvidia’s stuff is AI, but things like MadVR and stuff aren’t. Even older upscales like ESRGAN is ML based, but not necessarily AI, as the terms been pretty diluted.
- Comment on YouTube secretly tested AI video enhancement without notifying creators 2 days ago:
Nvidia has been upscaling content for users using the Nvidia shield since I think the 2019 revision, and I think offers the driver level video streaming upscale since 2023 with RTX Video Super Resolution. The concept isn’t exactly new (and there are video players that basically have 3rd party upscale algorithms, doesn’t need to be “AI” to do so)

- Comment on Gamers Nexus big story about GPU smuggling got taken down. 1 week ago:
iirc theyre active on reddit talking about the situation. basically bloomberg lawyers probably striked it for a segment they included in the video, but GN thinks theyre fine because itll be covered by fair use.
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong - Special Announcement Stream (starts in 48 hours) 1 week ago:
by itself no. requires a. pc thats like entry gaming in like 2016 standards though which isn’t particularly high.
modern (e. g past like maybe 2 years) igpus could probably run it
- Comment on [Discussion] What is the most niche genre that you like? 1 week ago:
high stakes game. its not a genre you in particular talk about specifically, but there are several entries in it that are worth watching.
- Comment on YouTube turns to AI to spot children posing as adults 1 week ago:
but you have other data already tied to you likely to remove said problem. For example, its extremely unlikely a minor has access to a creditcard where the name matches the name on the account. even without AI, that already removes you(likely) from that ever being a problem.
- Comment on YouTube turns to AI to spot children posing as adults 1 week ago:
what i think is that it won’t affect most people in the first place. If you are an adult, with a google account, there are already a bajillion points of information to potentially insuate someones an adult, regardless of AI use or not.
the whole thing (outside of being anti AI) is a problem for those who google hasnt really created a “profile” for, which would be some kids, and extremely diehard privacy enthusiasts (e.g the kind that activity uses a phone with like GraphineOS installed) and users who do not log in and wipe cookies on exit. which on the grandscale of users, is a fairly small cut of the pie.

the transitional tracks are controversial. some people like them. others hate them. i dont really care for them.
- Comment on My new laptop chip has an 'AI' processor in it, and it's a complete waste of space 2 weeks ago:
The problem that (local) ai has at the current moment is that its not just a single type of compute, and because of that, breaks usefulness in the pool of what you can do with it.
on the Surface level, “AI” is a mixture of what is essentially FP16, FP8, and INT8 accelerators, and different implementations have been using different ones. NPUs are basically INT8 only, while GPU intensive ones are FP based, making them not inherently cross compatible.
It forces devs to either think of the NPUs themselves with small things (e.g background blur with camera) as there isn’t any consumer level chip with a massive INT8 co processor except for the PS5 Pro (300 TOPS INT8, which compared to laptop cpus, have a 50 TOPs, so on a completely different league, PS5 Pro uses it to upscale)
- Comment on My new laptop chip has an 'AI' processor in it, and it's a complete waste of space 2 weeks ago:
So, yes, it would be unrealistic to suggest AMD could rip out the NPU and easily put that space to good use in this current chip.
a few amd chips did have the NPU removed in them, except they were mostly allocated to handheld gaming devices. the Ryzen Z1E for example.
when redreshed, there were a handful of hawkpoint cpus that were NPU less (Ryzen 7 8745HS)
Strix point does not have that dumped die cycle yet
- Comment on "You third rate call girl with your 4th rate deck" 2 weeks ago:
it goes both ways. there are also a bunch of mid 30 year old woman who go to male host clubs to get young dudes to do stuff with them. One of the more famous that showed this circle was Mai Watanabe, or Riri, who got infamous by scamming a bunch of dudes for shit and making a guide for how she did it, only to spend the money she scammed from dudes, at a host club

- Comment on Buy HDD on sale now or wait for Black Friday? 3 weeks ago:
black friday died when it became a normie holiday for sales. part of the reason why black friday worked before hand was that buyers are 100% aware of the product theyre buying and how much it is valued. anythings a “sale” if you’re selling it to an audience that doesn’t know what it was normally priced.
- Comment on Southern USA core. 3 weeks ago:
reletively yes but you still shouldn’t.
a 1st cousin has like 16% shared dna. half removed is half that. 2nd cousin is half of the half removed and it repeats.
so 1st > 1st half removed > 2nd > 2nd half removed> … nth.
after a few steps in your percentage is already pretty fucking low.
- Comment on Buy HDD on sale now or wait for Black Friday? 3 weeks ago:
to be fair, the drive in question is a NAS drive, which is not a backup drive by its intended default usecase, unless you slapped it in a nas thats stored as a cloud storage in an offsite location.
its just a matter of people understanding that data redundancy is not a backup, just a level of data safeguard, as it only partially covers some of the forms of data loss and not all of them (e.g not immune to physical methods of data loss like fires, floods and stuff)
- Comment on mRNA vaccines for HIV trigger strong immune response in people 3 weeks ago:
tldr for people
80% of people who took said Vaccine (theres 3 being tested in various first/booster configurations) have antibodies against HIV.
6% developed varying levels of hives/rashes ranging from weeks to years. Currently unknown what in the HIV/mRNA usages causes the rashes.
- Comment on How can i casual gamer enter a game online competition? 3 weeks ago:
as an addenum, if you live by a major university, most universities have a weekly tounament for various games. if you arent up to snuff yet, there will likely also be casual setup, or better, bring your own setup to play casuals on with others. (e.g low effort one would be a pc version of a game running on a laptop for a mobile aetup)
dont be intimidated and think you also have to register for the tournament if you arent experienced yet.

not yet, but the wikimedia foundation has been fighting against it expecting that it would be a class 1 site and require it.

- Comment on Homophobia implies the existence of jumpscare Yaoi/Yuri 4 weeks ago:
its why I dont like calling it scifi to people on suggesting it, because it kind of spoilers the premice on the idea how humanity got to that position in the first place. Its better advertised as fantasy mystery, than scifi.
- Comment on Homophobia implies the existence of jumpscare Yaoi/Yuri 4 weeks ago:
back when Shin Sekai Yori aired, the yaoi jumpscare of Episode 8 caused a lot of people to drop the (very good) sci fi anime.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
you have to have a personality that people like, and thats the non negotiable part. the rest is work ethic. other than that, do not go into the field expecting to make money playing games, unless you live in a place with a low cost of living and you happen to collect bounties on difficult challenges which no one should be doing for a living.

I havent even played a ubisoft title since before 2010. I just had the advantage of not being particularly attached to any of their IP to even reconsider it.

some people also dont realize, the guy who founded Tango, Shinji Mikami, had already left Tango to found a new company before the selling of the studio.
If anyone lived throught the 6th gen of consoles and earlier. Theyd recognize a lot of his works at capcom.
