So therefore they should model everything anew again?

“Standing on the shoulders of giants” is a saying in science. We build on the work that came before.

Same with Rockstar. Go back and play GTA III, Vice City, and San Andreas.

You really feel how these were built on the same engine/platform and how each game kinda just feels like the game they made while making the other game. If you look at the timelines San Andreas came quickly after Vice City (by modern standards at least). Imagine if they didn’t upgrade and reuse assets? If everything was to be built from scratch.

I’m hyped because Rockstar has a solid track record (* for new releases).

Doesn’t sound like you’re doing too well at the moment then 😅

Something something “not supposed to join them”.

Norway ran on 100% renewables for like 80 years, but no one cares.

Only reason we’re not at 100% anymore is because politicians don’t find it a priority to be self-sufficient and it’s much better to sell Norwegian renewable electricity to Europe for a profit, then buy back dirty electricity and let the consumers in Norway pay a cable transit tax to the government.

See, now you get to sell the energy twice, and both times at a higher rate.

And they probably scan your surroundings and upload it to the cloud. Only thing creepier would be Amazon making the same thing and then sending you ads for stuff that goes with whatever they saw you had or replacements for old stuff you have.

I used to think DisplayPort was the future, about 10-13 years ago.

By now I feel it has come and gone.

HDMI 2.1+ is making its way in everywhere.

• It’s a better plug.
• It tends to support enough pixels/Hz for most people.
• It’s more ubiquitous, being on both TV’s laptops, and monitors.

Pretty sure the PC desktop segment will keep the port alive for a while, but right now it doesn’t seem like a very useful port apart from having a plug that claws itself in place and is often unnecessarily hard to unplug.

With Ultra High Speed HDMI (these names are ridiculous, seriously, look at the standard names) there’s very few, if any, reasons to use DP, apart from compliant HDMI cables costing an arm and a leg.

To be honest I’m struggling a bit to understand why it’s not just all pushed through a CAT6/7 Ethernet cable at this point.

Traveling in the US it can often feel like everyone wants to scam you or take advantage of you if you don’t pay attention.

Heck, even store prices and restaurant prices aren’t the real price.

Store prices are without sales tax/VAT, and restaurants wants you to tip 20% so they can keep not paying their “employees”.
