I think we will see the triple A gaming industry eventually adjust system requirements/performance to conform with he new realities of the market. No point making games for the 4060 as the recommended GPU when most of the market cannot afford that. Also, AI based upscaling might help alleviate things on the hardware requirement front.

In many ways I see parallels between the current component price crisis and the 1970s fuel crisis. As a result of the oil shock back then, big muscle cars gave way to smaller, more fuel efficient vehicles. The focus moved from raw power to efficiency and cost. We saw the rise of the compact and sub-compact cars, which did not exist in the US back in the 50s and 60s.

I think the computer market will go thru the same process now. IGPUs/APUs could become the baseline for gaming moving forward.

I for one refuse to pay $500+ for a discrete GPU and I don't think I am in the minority.

I don't want to be "that person" but the 3d engine he created sparked the entire video game industry.

The boundless wisdom of unimpeded capitalism will solve this

As long as it doesn’t try to rival Bing chat mode…

This, i said the same thing during the 2016 election, Trump was a wolf and we all knew it, Clinton was a wolf dressed up like a sheep and only half of us knew it.

Guys, I need help because I can't really find any resources. Does any of you know an equivalent to Microsoft Swiftkey app for PC? I would love to have the same function of memorized notes in the keyboard as per the mobile version. Thing is, you can have some similar function in Word o Outlook, but they don't apply to the entire system. I hope I explained myself 😅 thanks

It’ll be called Crapple

Search and ads are like two peas in a pod.

This is the first wave of technology I am really disinterested in.

AI. Everything is about AI nowadays I can’t wait for this to fade out of existence.

“I want to be alive.” is the LAST thing I want Google to think.

Apple seems to be significantly ramping up their ad business, and their search engine could be a huge boost to that

This is not the fault of the lobbyists or Apple or whatever. This is the fault of the politicians who are willing to take money to do anything, including doing nothing.

Going to be as successful as Apple Maps.

"How many times do we have to teach you this lesson old man?!"

Just work on street view.

Don't blame the players, blame the game. If your politicians are allowed to accept bribes then they will allow lobbyists to write bills. It is really that simple.

We’ve been doing this for a bit

They literally don't even have end to end encryption when you message anything other than an iphone.

The difference between handing power to tech moguls instead of politicians is that we have a mechanism to replace politicians but zero mechanism to replace tech moguls. Is the mechanism flawless and effective? No. But it's still better than nothing.

The argument I think (without reading the article) is that the tech itself isn't a search replacement. Now let me read the article....

The immobilizer literally just pops off after they break off the trim around the wheel and they use a screwdriver or a cable and just turn the ignition. There are lots of videos on youtube and tiktok showing people steal them in less then 2 min.

And? You said it yourself - some repair shops will have the equipment and expertise, and it's in everyone's (except apple) interest that those repair shops be allowed buy the components, or you be allowed buy the component and bring it to the repair shop for them to install it.
