Well it’s a scaling effect and diminishing returns

To the human eye 480p vs 1080p is significant but 4k vs 8k is hard to tell

I think focusing on new technologies such as AI upscaling/world generation or VR is a better use of developers time and pushes the industry back into the innovative space it’s supposed to be

I’ve attended a few medieval joust and battle reenactments at renaissance themed faires. Its just a niche thing people like to do

:(

Microsoft has the government locked in as a customer, so the government’s options for forcing change at Microsoft are limited, at least in the short term.

Who would’ve guessed that a monopoly really sucks in a free market… oh yeah. Every single American citizen who also feels like they have 1 option of brand to buy from for 99% of purchases

Love the contrast between top and bottom that the horizon makes!

I know tobacco laws in this country (USA) are archaic. It seems like this ties into tax laws more since tobacco regulation and taxing is determined by locality. And by restricting federal handling they can push this closer to the localities instead of a federal blanket of laws

Also notice this line; "…aerosolized solution, delivers nicotine, flavor or any other substance to the user inhaling from the device.”
They know it might be used for cannabis. It’s just like how non-alcoholic beer falls under alcohol regulations even though it should be treated like normal beverages. Good examples of old laws not properly reflecting the current times

Maybe find a source to upload that can credit the original author next time? Just making sure credit for good comics is getting to who it needs to

I think microfilms plastic properties arent guaranteed past about 500years

Nah

Usually a reboot fixes these problems but it’s possible the cold and radiation have finally taken their toll

I know they dont want to do anything drastic yet since it takes some 48hrs to send a receive anything. And it they brick it by accident, then it’s totally shot

With their hands tied up…

It’s a LLM. You asked it “what can you even do” and one of the most hot topics with AI is privacy concerns. With Copilot being neutered by MSFT to produce curated responses asking it what it can do, and it branching to privacy concerns first, seems totally reasonable

I think people are forgetting the DS part of the question

DS are very cheap second hand and all the game cartridges work in offline mode natively. If you haven’t ever owned a DS before you need to pickup a few 3DS XL models ASAP and catch up on that whole generation of gaming!

As for switch people are right below, if you want longterm playability you might need to emulate on a different device like a steam deck. Some switch games need that online ‘phone home’ to download the game
