Should I also get the Below Zero bundle?

Yup. When the game ends, you will see a list of player IDs you’ve met during your journey

Not the same studio, but same director and music composer
- Comment on New Laptop Memory Is Here! LPCAMM2 Changes Everything! - iFixit Video 1 month ago:
I don’t think its fair to call it “padding”. They’re on the same die anyways and share the same memory pool through the same connections, makes sense they all have the same speed. I imagine Intel/AMD CPUs with iGPUs also share memory speeds and are both limited to how many ram channels you have configured. Apple very much could achieve that kind of speed by having more ram channels. Have the ram working in quad-channel mode, and you double the 192 GBps to 384 GBps.
- Comment on New Laptop Memory Is Here! LPCAMM2 Changes Everything! - iFixit Video 1 month ago:
Anandtech has an article about the M3 and details about it’s memory speed. M3 has 100 GBps, M3 pro 150, and M3 max 400.
So theoretically there’s no stopping laptop manufacturers to have multiple LPCAMM2 slots to achieve such speeds, correct?
- Comment on New Laptop Memory Is Here! LPCAMM2 Changes Everything! - iFixit Video 1 month ago:
Apple M3 uses LPDDR5 and have transfer speeds of up to 6400 MT/s while LPDDR5X will have 8533 MT/s. LPCAMM2 is the connector type to replace SO-DIMM slots, it still uses LPDDR chips. According to this article, it would support speeds of up to 9600 MT/s. So unless I’m missing something, shouldn’t speed be much of a concern? I’m open to corrections.
- Comment on My opinion on Bone conduction earphones 2 months ago:
More or less. Bone conduction headphones still operate by vibrating, and vibration makes sound, no matter how small it is.
- Comment on Scientific Journals Are Publishing Papers With AI-Generated Text 3 months ago:
So I couldn’t find a membership-free version of this article, and not considering to sign up for another website, so I’m commenting on what I can see.
I did the same search on Google Scholar, and it gave me 188 results. A good chunk of it are actually legitimate papers that discuss ChatGPT / AI capabilities and quoted responses from it. Still, a lot of papers that have nothing to do with machine learning have the same text in it, which I’m both surprised and not surprised.
As FaceDeer pointed out, the amount of papers schools have to churn out each year is astounding, and there are bound to be unremarkable ones. Most of them are, actually. When something becomes a chore, people will find an easier way to get through it. I won’t be surprised if there were actually more papers that use ChatGPT to generate parts of it that didn’t have the quote, students already do that with Wikipedia for their homework before ChatGPT was even a thing, this is just a better version of it. To be fair, it is a powerful tool that aggregates information with a single line of text, and most of the time its reliable. Most of the time. That’s why you have to do your own research and verify its validity afterwards. I have used Microsofts Copilot, and while I do like that it gives me sources, it sometimes still gives me stuff that the original source did not say.
What I am surprised about is that, the professor, institute, or even the publisher didn’t even think to do the basic amount of verification, and let something so blatant;y obvious slip through. Some of the quotes appear right at the beginning of a paragraph, which is just laughable.

But apparently not for the game creators :(

Tax breaks. Woohoo!
How this shitty legal manoeuvre is even allowed is so infuriating.

They kind of have to, otherwise it would be an Airbus monopoly, and there are plenty of planes they still need to deliver to customers. Management needs a total reshuffle for sure though.
- Comment on More 128TB SSDs are coming as almost no one noticed this launch — another SSD controller that can support up to 128TB appeared paving the way for HDD-beating capacities 4 months ago:
Correct me if I’m wrong here, but I remember that SSDs lifespan mainly depends on how much you overwrite the drive. For 128TB, it should take you a very long time to overwrite the entire drive, let alone couple hundred or thousand times to kill the drive. I know that bit rot also happens on SSDs, but that applies to HDDs as well, and good drive maintenance practices should alleviate the issue. Though for archival purposes/cold storage, tape drives are probably better.
- Comment on The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion 4 months ago:
I bought Zelda TotK when it came out, now I’m finally playing it. Just finished the first boss fight, I really like that not only do shrines train you to be creative with the Ultrahand, side quests like sign support and korok escort quests also reenforce it with interesting tools. Towers being launch towers which ties in with the verticality of the game is also a nice touch.
Still don’t know how to deal with lynels, three headed dragons, and the gloom hands thing though.

There are plenty of things to not like about Apple, but this ain’t it, dude.
- Comment on Apple Vision Pro Owners Are Struggling to Figure Out What They Just Bought 4 months ago:
To be fair to Apple, the AVP is first of it’s kind. Literally nothing else functions the same way it does. But based on its naming, you can bet a lower priced version is already on its way. For regular consumers, that’s the one you should get, not this, especially when 3rd party apps are still being developed.
- Comment on Microsoft Flight Sim players have the world at their fingertips; now they want a time machine, too 6 months ago:
For a flying sim, you probably want “weather” data, not “climate” data. Like on this particular date, time, and location, data for the wind direction, rain, cloud formation, temperature, etc. That data would be humongous.
- Comment on A bride to be discovers a reality bending mistake in Apple's computational photography 6 months ago:
Please, feel free to reproduce one yourself then. And no, using the panorama trick doesn’t count, which I think the “silly photos” in the article may be actually referencing instead of this.
And is it really “outrageous”? At most I think this is amusing. Nowhere in the article gave me the impression that this is something that people need to be extremely angry about, Mr. Just in case.
- Comment on A bride to be discovers a reality bending mistake in Apple's computational photography 6 months ago:
I can also see the three arm positions being a single motion, just in three different time frames. If it really takes seconds to complete a composite, then it should also be very easy to reproduce, and not something so rare it makes it into the news. If I still can’t convince you, I guess we agree to disagree then.
- Comment on A bride to be discovers a reality bending mistake in Apple's computational photography 6 months ago:
You don’t need a few whole seconds to put an arm down.
- Comment on A bride to be discovers a reality bending mistake in Apple's computational photography 6 months ago:
I’m aware of the differences. I’m just pointing out that similar phenomenon and discussions have been made since rolling shutter artifacts have been a thing. It still only takes milliseconds for an iPhone to finish taking it’s plethora of photos to composite. For the majority of forensic use cases, it’s a non issue imo. People don’t move that quick to change relative positions substantially irl.
- Comment on A bride to be discovers a reality bending mistake in Apple's computational photography 6 months ago:
I see your point, though I wouldn’t put it that far. It’s an edge case that has to happen in a very short duration.
Similar effects can be acheived with traditional cameras with rolling shutter.
If you’re only concerned of relative positions of different people during a time frame, I don’t think you need to be that worried. Being aware of it is enough. - Comment on Games that my non-gamer girlfriend can watch me playing? 7 months ago:
I shall try it out then!
- Comment on Games that my non-gamer girlfriend can watch me playing? 7 months ago:
If you or your girlfriend aren’t prone to motion sickness, I’d recommend the Portal games and Outer Wilds.
All games from Supergiant games are an automatic recommend from me, but if you’re not into fast paced violent games which a spectator might not be able to keep up with, maybe skip Hades and go for their earlier titles.
Both Ori games may be a good choice too since she can enjoy the eye candy and story alongside.
- Comment on Games that my non-gamer girlfriend can watch me playing? 7 months ago:
Ooh. Been a while since I’ve heard of To the Moon. There’s a sequel to that called Finding Paradise, which I also remember liking. Haven’t followed them since, but their latest game Imposter Factory seems great too judging by the overwhelmingly positive reviews on Steam.

- Comment on Twitter / X is losing daily active users. CEO Linda Yaccarino confirmed it. 8 months ago:
Can’t speak for other people, but I use Twitter and Reddit for different reasons. I use Reddit for communities I have an interest in, so when the move to Lemmy/kbin started, it wasn’t that hard for me to migrate over. For Twitter though, I use it to follow specific people and/or company news, so unless they decide to migrate to Mastodon or other platforms, Twitter will still be a site I visit.

Use Pairdrop instead! Better uptime, with the added bonus of not needing to be on the same network.

- Comment on The Unity Games That Could be Impacted Most by Controversial Fees, From Silksong to Cult of the Lamb - IGN 9 months ago:
JFC, I just learned that they are retroactively applying this new rule. This means that games that are out already or have been on sale for multiple years will have to pay the runtime fee too. Insane. They can bankrupt a studio before they even release their next game.
