Microsoft shuts down Cortana app on Windows 11 | The digital assistant was first part of Windows Phone and now it’s being discontinued on Windows.
Its such a shame they wasted that name on such a dud. An actually useful AI helper named cortana is a no-brainer for them.

YSK: Lemmy browsing app Boost is tracking your data for profiling and more! Consider using other trackingless Lemmy apps such as Jerboa or Voyager
Reply in thread
Youtube shouldn't be baffling to you if you pay attention. Youtube still hoards tons of data and tracking on top of its ads. And paying doesn't stop that. Also, they removed the option to pay to remove ads but skip all the other stuff. They removed that option right at the same time they started their war against ad blockers. Combine those points with the typical enshittification and we wind up with a service that doesn't deserve your pity.

The Witcher 4 got a surprise reveal at The Game Awards, and this one is all about Ciri | PC Gamer

Performance mostly. But also even when made by various AAA studios, the resulting games often have this uncanny similar-ness to them. Personally i prefer in-house engines even if its just to maintain variety in the industry.
Also obligatory shout out to id tech for continuing to show off their engines with indiana jones.

Those exist in fancier cars. Recently rented a jaguar f-type for a weekend getaway road trip and we noticed after an hour or 2 that the headrests actually were functional and comfy. Why the hell that shape isnt used in a normal seat i have no idea.

Full-time UPS drivers will earn $170,000 a year, on average, in new contract, CEO says
Reply in thread
Theyre adding every single little thing that they can to reach that value. 401k matching, employer's health insurance, vision, dental, paid time off, those are all big easy ones. But they probably have idiotic values for all the fine print benefits too. Think of free legal advice, financial advice, personal counseling, reimbursements for education opportunities, travel, uniform cleaning, etc etc.
Should it all add up to 100k and be boasted about? No... But of course they will anyway.

Yes. Now that all the consoles have ssds, devs are going to design their games around them. That means asset streaming is the norm. And that means hdds will cause massive pop-in and stutters.

Outstanding idea.

Youre comparing a testing goal to an operational goal? How the hell is that even relevant?
We'd all still be using steam engines with your logic, because the moment a gasoline engine blew up in testing we shoulda just given up! And jet engines for aircraft? What a waste of time!
C'mon. You gotta be smarter than that.

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty | 4K DLSS 3.5 Gameplay Reveal
Reply in thread
I genuinely don't understand this sentiment.
What makes a DLSS frame so different from a native frame? It's all just running code to turn math into pixels.
The only thing that matters is the end result to our human eyeballs, not how we get there. DLSS (and the other options to varying degrees) has gotten so good it looks better than native, especially when in motion.

You also get countless other smaller channels that are just large enough to have youtube be their primary income, but small enough where they stay true to their original intent.

Like it or not, the industry would still be worse off without the idiotic claims. The idiotic claims pushed the industry forward. You want to make a bulleted list of all the things you dislike or you perceive as failures and drawbacks, fine, go ahead. There are just as many positive bullet lists that could be made.

Tim Walz calls for scrapping of electoral college to decide US presidential race

so what? We're talking about a national vote for president. Your specific voice gets heard through local elections, not the president. Every person should have an equal vote. Period.

Taliban seeks international aid for Afghanistan’s reconstruction
Reply in thread
Realistically what will US aid accomplish? Will those suffering even receive any of it? Won't it just provide the means for Taliban leaders and ideals to remain in power and strengthen? And won't that inevitably lead to them getting comfortable enough to lash out at the world once again?
I understand the problems and suffering caused by our "war on terror". Its not as simple as you make it seem though. its more of a moral dilemma rather than moral priorities.

Some people just cant separate the musk from the accomplishments. Or they read headlines about costs and historical comparisons without actually thinking about how apples to oranges they are. The vitriol over musk which is well deserved has really fucked with the space industry's image. And considering how fucked the image already was (not hated, but jaded and perceived as a waste of money), its a shame.

Those same countries that found space for all the rest of their industrial waste?
Nuclear waste has a tiny footprint. Fence off a couple square km for security, dig a small but deep hole, and there ya go.
Obviously oversimplifying, but the point is that nuclear waste is a tiny issue. The entire world's waste could be stored in a single warehouse if we wanted to (we don't).
