And they want us to stay hyped about games. I refuse to believe any marketing garbage because I know now they're just measuring hype to determine if they should keep making things. That is not a long term strategy

Vertical Integration is the term. And it should definitely be outlawed

it's not entirely clear if the HDMI Forum can (or will be able to) block people going with a trial and error approach to getting more modern HDMI features working in the open source drivers

I wanted to try it, but they specifically banned Linux players, so they didn't want my money I guess

AI is destroying open source, and it's not even good yet in c/videos@lemmy.world

I truly believe its bad now, but its not going to last. Yes, I know that they want to take computers from us, but their purchasing isn't going to stay this consistent. Its going to be rough for a bit, but after a few more contracts fall through and these purchases aren't renewed for year after year (and looking at stock prices investors are not happy about these massive purchases) data centers are going to purchase less, and I really believe we're going to see hardware crawl back to gaming.

Its up to us to decide which companies deserve our money when that day comes.

Granted its easy when you're playing a game like Satisfactory

1200 Ubisoft staff go on strike against Assassin's Creed company's massive cutbacks (www.rockpapershotgun.com)
 

I'm all for it, absolutely strike, but...

I think it's too late. The time to strike was years ago against the obvious bad decisions of upper management. Stock price is less than a dollar, the company IPs are worthless

Better late than never I guess

Amazon's Fallout countdown ends up being pointless (www.rockpapershotgun.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.zip/post/58424401

Amazon's Fallout countdown delivers possibly the only thing more pointless than a New Vegas or Fallout 3 remaster

OpenAI might torch $14 billion in 2026, hitting bankruptcy by next year (www.windowscentral.com)
 

I've been an AI realist from the start. What can the models actually do? What are the limitations? Ultimately, I think there is a place in the market for them - for people who understand the limitations of them and know when they're spewing BS.

I am not shocked at all that OpenAI (and Microsoft being one of it's largest shareholders) is burning cash and suddenly is realizing it may not be able to make good on it's promises. AI reality vs AI hype. Us actual tech people have known since the beginning this was all hype, now finance people are starting to notice (about time).

What Holiday Specials emotionally scarred you as a child? (poptalk.scrubbles.tech)
 

Inspired by the post about cold-war era holiday specials, what creepy cartoons or claymations scarred you for life?

For me it was Twas the Night Before Christmas . The animation was too goofy and I swear my Megalophobia comes partly from the clock tower in that show. I don't know why but it made me so uneasy that even now large clock towers make me feel weird.

[LTT / YouTube Drama] "What happened to Linus Tech Tips with followup in description (www.youtube.com)

JeffTek, a small creator made "What Happened To Linus Tech Tips" last week, going over some of the public issues of the channel and it's falling out. (Main link on this thread, also here ) IMO very fair, straight to the facts, a bit of his own opinion in there, but he defended Linus on multiple steps too.

Linus catches wind and goes to R_ddit, putting the guy on blast for "rehashing things from the past". Not wrong... but weird for the CEO to do this directly in a Reddit thread.

JeffTek now responds to the comments in his latest video.

Looking for a good wiki based off of a git repo (poptalk.scrubbles.tech)
 

Currently I have random docs/how-tos for my network stored in a forgejo repo, just a bunch of READMEs. I'd like to somehow make that a bit more official, I like writing it in markdown/git and having source control, but was wondering if anyone has a good wiki tool they like that can consume that and make it more hostable? Thanks!

Fairphone 6 in US (poptalk.scrubbles.tech)
 

My phone is definitely showing it's age, about 5 years old now, battery doesn't last more than 7ish hours. I've done research and if possible, I think I'd like to get the Fairphone. Does anyone have experience with it in the US? I know I'd have to import it, but using local carriers how well does it work?

How I'd fix Windows as a retired Windows Engineer (www.youtube.com)
 

Dave & I don't always agree, but this was a good video. Admitting Windows coddles it's users too much, showing why Windows lost it's hardcore audience, and what it would take to win any of us back. (Not that that's likely, but what it would take)
