With the amount of work they are putting in compatibility layers technology, I wouldn’t be surprised if you could run The Witcher 3 on it out of the box.

At least they tried to hide it, now they don’t.
As for the cold war, if you consider the conflict USA-USSR they clearly won: Russia was, at least at some point, equally powerful to the USA technologically and militarly, what one did first, the other caught up pretty quickly, then the Soviet Government collapsed for various reasons, and they couldn’t catch up, now the USA is arguably the most technologically advanced country in the world, in many aspects.
China is catching up, but they are in no way equally capable.
- Comment on Fallout 4's script extender has already gotten its anniversary update, as Bethesda battle creation issues 6 days ago:
Betheda being bethesda as usual, releasing overpriced merchandise, selling the same game you alreadt bought, while not even caring enough to implement bug fixes that modders already figured out gratis for you.
And gamers spread their asscheeks so they can collect every version of the game that Todd spits out his mouth.
Sorry for my saltyness, but bethesda really grinds my gear like few others do.

I know, what I’m saying is that latte = milk in italian, so if you ordered latte in Italy you would get a glass of milk, that’s what I mean by mistranslation
- Comment on 3-bean soup 2 weeks ago:
English has a really bad habit of mistranslating things, for some reason latte = coffee+milk, while latte means milk
- Comment on Just FYI 2 weeks ago:
People don’t like being told they are wrong, so, if you are sure they are indeed wrong, giving them the option to reconsider is usually more tactful and polite.
Also, I don’t know what your job is, but noone ks paid to be right. People make mistake because you can never be fully certain of anything. You are paid for your time/experience, and that allows you to be wrong (at least in a healthy environment).
- Comment on What's your answer? And in the picture which news story is being reported? 2 weeks ago:
Why would such a think be announced at school?
- Comment on Mozilla to Require Data-Collection Disclosure in All New Firefox Extensions 2 weeks ago:
Since some extensions are “mozilla-approved”, I guess they test it regularly, it wouldn’t be hard to verify if one is really sending anything despite their disclosure.
- Comment on "What is the oldest country in the world that still exists?" is a Ship of Theseus problem. 3 weeks ago:
The Reepublic of San Marino has been independent for a very long time, possibly since 301 ce, that would make it a 1700 years old country that never changed its form of government.

I’m 24 so I don’t think that’s the case lol, they just appear to be dressed like teenagers.

Ok that makes sense, still didn’t look like so lol
- Comment on This man is suffering 3 weeks ago:
Have been to Los Angeles for a short time with friends and of course we tried several fast foods. We decided to go to Hooters just for fun, but the food was surprisingly the most decent of those we tried, and also reasonably priced. Of course we could see a lot of creepy around us and it was a little unconfortable seeing some clearly underage girls just being there for their boobs.
The US really is a weird place…

- Comment on Arby's steak bites 3 weeks ago:
Maybe it’s the intense lighting, maybe it’s what they used for the “marinating” but they truly look like rotten flesh. Zombie bytes maybe, not steak
- Comment on Great business idea, tbh 4 weeks ago:
What prevents them for doing the same? Not doing their job until they are fired so they don’t have to quit. I would get that would be even more shameful
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
I would hardly consider “one or two trump supporter in two years” a silo, like how many other people you encountered that were less extremists and more capable of dialogue?
Also, lemmy is not immune to tech propaganda, since it cannot be taken in isolation: people will still (albeit probably less intesively) biased by consuming other media, and being mostly a link aggregator rather than a generator of original content, there will still be some bias from the sources. It’s just a place where there’s no omnipotent algorithm so the problem is less grave, but still present.
- Comment on Nintendon't 4 weeks ago:
Not hating, I don’t know from which year this is from, didn’t even know it’s a development kit, and although the capabilities I mentioned are recent (and by recent, thunderbolt 4 has been around for at least a couple years, PD 120w for around the same or even more), a single usb-C has been capable of driving a portable device, that needs charging and a display output, from at least 7+ years.
You can call me cynical, but yes, if I see a strange double usb-C port I think it doesn’t really make a ton of sense and the first thing I think about is a strange trick to transform a standard technology in something proprietary, especially since nintendo has done the same with the switch 2 by implementing non-standard usb c in their dock.
- Comment on Nintendon't 4 weeks ago:
USB 3.2 or 4 allows for a thunderbolt 4 interface, that runs at 40 GB/s (for external gpu cards). Thunderbolt also uses Power Delivery and the latest version allows for a 48V @ 5A profile, that would be 240W. Even previous versions allow for 24V @ 5V (120W).
As for the cable length I wouldn’t really know, probably it’s possible up to a meter, if the cable is well shielded, the power doesn’t change much because the current os always rather low, it’s the voltage that increases.
- Comment on Nintendon't 4 weeks ago:
A single usbc can deviler 240W and data at 40 GB/s, what else can it be other than vendor lockin by nintendo?
- Comment on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | Season 4 Clip | Paramount+ (NYCC 2025) 4 weeks ago:
Didn’t know about that formula. Is it used behind the scene but never mentioned, or just used retroactively to explain the difference between the different series?
- Comment on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | Season 4 Clip | Paramount+ (NYCC 2025) 4 weeks ago:
In Voyager and TNG it has been established that warp 10 is infinite velocity, that means the warp scale is not linear (the differencr between warp 9 and 8 must be higher than the difference between 8 and 7). After all, Voyager’s max speed of 9.975 is faster than Enterprise D’s 9.6.
Then again, warp speed has always been quite inconsistent, so who knows which scale they are using…

That’s fair, but he just looks annoyed.
Like “oh, that’s why you called me for? All this fuss about it for nothing important?”.
- Comment on gain 4 weeks ago:
Why does he seem disappointed in the last panel? Did he expect something else?
- Comment on I will be taking no followup questions. Thank you for your time 5 weeks ago:
They definitely didn’t have neodinium magnets, as neodinium being a lantanide metal was discovered only recently (1700s or 1800s) and requires extremely advanced (for the time) metallurgy and chemistry to extract from minerals.
- Comment on When you say you don't like linux on Lemmy 5 weeks ago:
Man, nobody can put “a target” on you for something you say on a public forum that people get mad about.
You guys want freedom of speech? Freedom of speech is also getting shit on online for something you say. You have a right to speak, not a right to be liked.
- Comment on what's a good answer to placate the c-suite if you're accused of lacking motivation and being unfriendly? 1 month ago:
Not all positions require outstanding motivation. If you are a project manager, sure a motivated one will probably outperform someone there just for the money that doesn’t give a shit. A technician on an assembly line? It doesn’t matter, you are there to operate a machine and motivation will not make you (sustantially) more productive, incentives on the other hand will (benefits, salary, less stressful working condition…)

You can have all the free time in the world, if you spend it all trying to have more, you don’t get to enjoy it.
