Fuck, I missed the two best times to start

Jim Whitehurst? The guy who sold Red Hat to IBM? Cool, cool, cool. Cool.

I guess launching this next year ahead of the rumoured Switch 2 launch would make sense to steal some of Nintendo’s potential market share.

How the fuck was Uber supposed to help traffic? That’s the most American take on solving traffic issues I’ve read in a while.

I bet the Switch 2’s SoC will include a GPU based on Ampere or newer, which means RTX 3000 series capabilities which. Nvidia Tegra Orin from 2019 already included that much.

Of course it will be very likely more limited than even a 3060 mobile chip, but it could include both RT and DLSS 3.5 if they wanted to. I doubt they use RT but DLSS would make a lot of sense.

I mean the Xbox Series S will be a 4 year old non-high-end console by the time the Switch 2 will be released. I can definitely see them go in that direction.

Maybe it will have more RAM, but it will most likely have slower/cheaper RAM. LPDDR5 or LPDDR5X instead of GDDR6. Should also be more power efficient.

I just wonder whether they want to use DLSS for more FPS on the handheld or whether it’s simply their future way to upscale from the native handheld resolution to 4K when docked.

Surely DLSS would be very taxing on the battery life, but it would be great to improve the docked experience which is often rather bad (stuttering, etc.) with the old Switch.

Either you innovate or you pay that company $32M every summer forever

The subscription also includes free games, though

So privacy first first and privacy last second, interesting combo

Sunwise, as it was based on the movement of the sun during day (in the Northern hemisphere). As watch faces were modelled after sundials, sunwise and clockwise describe the same direction.

Turnwise is a word invented by Pratchett for a book, but it’s clearly based on sunwise. He also used widdershins in his book, which is indeed the unmodified antonym to sunwise.

Sir, this is the US

I can’t speak for the church staff, but personally it’s just much more convenient to do it on my work laptop.

Also, my employer isn’t allowed to monitor me without good reason. So yea, I don’t even disable the VPN to my office for it.

Will Google really manage to make it impossible to root your phone?

Google has managed this years ago, but it’s optional. There was a fairly short timeframe when most phone makers enforced it, but now most allow power users to disable the security and root their phones. But usually they will disable some security-sensitive features like Samsung Knox. And many security-sensitive apps like banking apps will not let you run them anymore (if yours does, great for you, but that also means your bank’s security is shit, just FYI).

If you use 1 rubel coins, sure. Personally, I prefer to splurge on TP.

Let me know once the 50 rubel note is cheaper than a sheet of TP.

6 GHz is around 50mm iirc

Yes, a faraday cage does work. But note that modern wifi uses high frequencies, which means fairly small waves (edit: of about 5cm). That means your faraday cage needs a meshing of maximum ~2cm 1.25cm. The tighter the less signals it will let through.

Essentially, any mesh storage box should do the trick.

Products of Chinese companies aren’t really a good alternative for different reasons

So your PC was old (thus the new one faster) and its HW no longer supported by some software developers (because it was outdated and not enough users were on it anymore). The same can hold true if you have a 5 year old PC now. You didn’t notice this due to going 64bit, you noticed it due to going away from a heavily outdated system.
