I see, so it was an oversimplification.

Yet people still complain those jobs are taken away by robots.

Reply to comment by _Xaradox_ in Discord is slowing down some Nvidia graphics cards - A recent update has introduced a bug that slows down memory clocks on some Nvidia GPUs. by speckz
Of course not, but to say it’s 1% performance hit is just as much a random guess based on that guy being cool with voice software causing clock issues on GPUs, which it should NEVER do. If you’re running memory bandwidth constrained tasks it absolutely can be MORE than 2.9% if you’re starving the GPU.

Ho boy. I mean, I guess, if you survive the wait times.

Lol
You don't know about the REAL Canadian health care system do you?

They are not moving all production to India.
India has very high tariffs on imports, so they are producing some products locally to avoid import duties. China will remain the main production hub for the whole world. Nowhere else has the infrastructure and supply chains to cope like China does.

I wonder who pays less. Hmm.

It's incredible how much of a rough deal factory line work is. I'm a white collar workers and a lot of blue collar work I can imagine doing. A lot of it might be way harder on my body and there's other downsides, but yeah it's an option.
But working a job where you do the same thing every four seconds? Christ..

I know, its right next to the shut down dialogue, its just a phone call, Apple's feature routes through through a third party satellite service. I'll wait until my opinion is more fully baked before commenting. I would bet money there will be a debate in the future when Apple doesn't want to pay for this service or the third party wants more money. Ie, Adobe and Pantone.

Their new peak brightness is 200 for HDR which is bad even on OLED. If they could apply this new tech’s brightness or close to it, I’d buy these monitors instantly.

I paid $140 for a widescreen 1440p 144hz 27” free sync monitor from a Chinese brand and it’s flawless lol

No offense, but this sounds like every factory I've worked in, and I'm in Canada. Shitty team leaders, washroom break monitoring, limited and strict break periods, and constant, monotonous work that seems never ending. Long, strenuous shifts from the most deplorable concept ever: shift work.
And it gets worse, the bigger the company.
I've worked in family-owned factories where they are a little more laid back, and less strict, to giant mega corporations where they build cars, 1 car off the line every 50 seconds.
I've left factory life behind, but it truly is modern day slavery.

THIS. This fixed so many issues, especially watching shows like Ozark where my C9 and C1 would make already dark scenes even dimmer and impossible to see. Thank you for sharing, word needs to get out on this.

It's $999 for a halo tier gaming monitor.
I remember paying $1500 for my 34" ultrawide back in 2016. Hell, it might have been $2000. The truly expensive gaming monitors push well over $2000 these days.

This isn't a criticism of your comment specifically....but when did "gaming" start to mean competitive shooters?
These days anything that media, social or otherwise, claims is good for "gaming" is talking about Battle Royal 2023: This Time with Jetpacks.
I play cinematic, story-driven single player games and those are video games too.
