Exactly the issue I had on my laptop. Plug in an external display to extend the desktop and the laptop screen turns off. Wasted 6 hours of my life trying to get the damn thing to work properly until I gave up.

It comes from the publishers in the 90s. They needed an easy way to tell stores/distributors how popular they thought each of their games would be, to help them decide how many of a certain title the distributor should order. The games expected to be GotY contenders would be marked AAA, AA for otherwise decent games, A for more niche games and B for "this is a starshot, we're hoping it will sell enough to justify production costs". That then lead to more and more games being marked as AAA due to budgets getting increased, and the whole system became a bit redundant.

A Razer product that doesn't work as advertised? Consider me shocked.

Looks like Palia with hobbits. Personally I'm not too impressed, but maybe it'll find its niche.

Nah, the site you're referring to still works from the UK.

As someone who's played a lot of GW2 over the past couple of years, I can confirm that it's still fantastic. It doesn't get anywhere near the amount of content that WoW gets, but it's on a good cadance these days and outside of buying expansions, is absolutely playable without spending a penny.

How the fuck does a chat program justify a workforce of one thousand employees in the first place?! How do they expect to ever get in the green when they're spending that much money on staff?

Is their entire business model to just endlessly pull in V.C. money and "grow" until they can't get investors on board anymore? Actually, don't answer that one, I assume that's how almost every tech company works these days, and at some point it's all going to crash.

That's great. Now try training that model on a 4080 and you'll see it'll take significantly longer. Try amassing the data needed for training on your home PC and see how much longer beyond that which you'll need. There's a reason the current race is down to just a few companies, it costs pennies to run queries on an existing model, millions to build and train that model in the first place.

Ah, there it is. Say it louder for those at 99 IQ in the back that you're lumping in with this guy. That is, if you think they're even smart enough to be able to understand you in the first place.

And it wasn't a question you posed at all- it was a generalised statement that you consider half the population to be "dumb", which, in a roundabout way, is where I've been going with this.

Edit: I see Lemmy is exactly the same as Reddit - full of so-called intellectuals that think of themselves as better then the average person, and that intellect is the sole barometer of usefulness in society. Keep downvoting me while thinking yourselves superior, fucking cowards.

You're the one that brought up IQ in the first place, you can't blame me for engaging on that.

It's hard to detect a joke when it doesn't exist in the first place.

Approximately half the people in the world have an IQ in the double digit range. IQ literally has its mean at 100 for a given population. I don't think I understand what you're getting at there.

The burden of liability will then fall on the media company, which can then be sued for not carrying out due dilligance in reporting.
