They way they did it was intercepting the shipments and modifying the units. They didn't have Cisco build hacked units, they hacked them in transit. For a targeted attack it makes much more sense to do it that way, as there are less people that know about it. If they try to get Cisco to make...

Speaking of Wavelab it is on sale right now. $60 for Elements, $300 for pro so at the moment price competitive with Sound Forge.

That may never happen. I don't know that variable length frames are compatible with strobing. What may need to happen is something more along the lines of DLSS 3 combined with Gsync where instead of having variable frame output rate, we have variable frame rate rendering, and then it is...

Blooming too. If you turned up the power to the guns they'd start to miss their target more and excite surrounding phosphors. On TVs they'd take that trade often because NTSC was such shit rez but on computer monitors it could be an issue. You started to crank the brightness much past 100-120...

No I wouldn't buy Audition it isn't bad software, but you can get much better for no subscription. For pro quality mastering editors (what I used to and still do call 2-track editors) there are two I like: 1) Sound Forge. This is the economical one. The Audio Studio version, which probably...

If you want a dedicated device, instead of a phone, you can have a look at a Zoom Handy Recorder. It's more or less the modern, digital, equivalent of a handheld tape recorder from the days past.

This is what I mean by nerd rage. You are mad about one very minor change, one you can change back with a registry key. It's fine to say "I don't like this new way of doing things as much," but if that's the reason for not using it, that's pretty silly. The amount of anger is outsized to the...

Probably to have more than nVidia. nVidia does X, AMD does 4*X! That kind of thing. That said, if it can be made to work it isn't a bad thing. There's no reason not to want more generated frames to allow for higher FPS. There are 500Hz monitors out there, and hopefully it'll just keep...

I mean I didn't realize that because I haven't wanted that in, well, since Windows 7 started grouping things. However, if you want it just use Start11. It's $5, lets you customize the task bar, start menu, etc. I use it for the start menu because I prefer their "modern style" which is kinda a...

This. While I completely understand, and support, the argument that this is unnecessary and doesn't get you, the consumer, anything, I don't get the rage over it as it is always coming from people who are happy with their Android or iPhone. They have their account on that, and often tie a bunch...

I mean if you want to move to Linux because it works for you, then that's a different story. People should use the platform that works well for them, though I will warn you that Linux has its own bunch of gotchas, if you think you are moving to a problem free experience you are not going to be...

It's at 30% and rising on Steam. Most people have no issues with using it, the majority that are still on 10 are just there because they don't tend to upgrade OS unless they upgrade their computer. The only people that seem to have issues with it are angry nerds that are just determined to hate...

True that should be the case as looking at their list I don't' notice a removal of compatibility mode inside long mode which is what 32-bit software runs in on a 64-bit OS. Now if they are also pulling out compatibility mode then ya, all 32-bit code would break. But so long as it is in there it...

It's also very unclear at this point that the ISA makes that much difference in chip speed/efficiency. It isn't that is has NO impact but the RISC heads have been carrying on about how bad CISC is and how it makes chips slow since the 80s... and yet here we are. The idea that if we just switched...

So that's different. What you are saying is if someone offered you $100mil, or heck probably much less, to be able to quit your job and escape from a life you are clearly dissatisfied with, you'd take it. That is understandable. However what about if you were in a position like his: He seems to...

What snakes, unless you mean his wife? I don't think you understand how corporate ownership works: For public companies, like Apple, it is something that is literally bought and sold on the open market as shares. When you buy stock, you buy a small share of ownership in a company. For big...

That's not actually possible in this case. Since he and his wife have an equal share, and since there are no other investors, there's no ability to squeeze. If you have a company where the head owns a good chunk, but not the majority, of the stock the other investors can squeeze them out...

I was very disappointed when the OLED Switch came out. I was excited when I initially heard about a new switch because I'm precisely the kind of crazy who's game to spend money again just to get an upgrade. But then when it came out and the only difference was the screen... Nah. I mean it is a...

You also have to remember that, net worth aside, it isn't all about money for everyone. Some people really love what they do and will do it even if they don't need the money. You see that with entertainers, where they have "fuck you" amounts of money but keep working, sometimes for less than...

I agree, though calling TOTK bug free isn't accurate. Much less buggy than lots of other releases, but it had a day 1 patch and you can still find bugs. It's reasonable though, like if it never got patched again it would be fine. For sure, it is one of the most annoying things about them. Like...

As far as I know you can't. Now maybe there is something later in the game, but if it is like BOTW then no, there's no maintaining them. In BOTW the way it worked was everything would break, except for the master sword, which would timer-break meaning when you did too much with it, it went on...

Where did I say that they shouldn't put it on PC? I just said they were going to make a ton of money. I love PC gaming, to the extent that I've got a fiber optic cable running through the wall from the office to the living room so we can PC game on the TV. I'm just saying that Nintendo will make...

It does help a lot. Like fusing a rock to something seems to increase durability a lot. Fusing one weapon to another of the same makes the funny "double halberd" thing you saw which is hilarious and also fixes the durability of the one you fused it to. Then when it breaks, the one on the end...

I would also note that they were given additional time. The launch was pushed back like a month-ish.

I have to agree. I mean I can see the appeal of retro gear, some people like doing things the true old school way not emulated... Fine but this is not that, we never had handhelds like this in the 386 days. So it isn't a real retro experience if that's you thing. Now if your thing is just...

I think it is more that it is enough for most people. While there are plenty of us on [H] complaining how many HDMI ports does a normal user really need, particularly one that isn't willing to buy a receiver or HDMI switch? Plenty of people need just one, or even none. My parents use 1 port: For...

Oh they are. It could be a total pile of shit and they'd still profit because people get all worked up about a new Zelda game, but this also is an extremely good game so people are going ham over it. They are going to sell tons of copies. I imagine some people who have a Switch but never use it...

I may have to try this when (if) I give it a playthrough. My girlfriend is playing it on the Switch right now and it looks good, for a Switch game, but the Switch shows its limitations for sure. For me one of the more noticeable things in that video is just the anisotropic filtering. Made the...

When I last played Control, or rather my GF did, it was without this patch on a 4k TV on a 3090. 4k native was just a no-go in terms of maintaining good performance. DLSS quality at 4k though ran well. Even then, during some intense points (like the infamous hallway scene by the control room you...

You can't blame the devs for AMD RT performance. AMD does not have the kind of RT acceleration hardware nVidia does, so it all has to be done in the shaders which also have a whole lot of other things to do. That means stuff will run slower. Now if it is a case where RT is just used a tiny bit...

I think he's commenting that receivers are also doing the thing some TVs are doing and having less speed on their ports. My TX-RZ50 is like that. Ports 1-3 are FRL5 which means 40gbps/sec. Ports 4-6 are only FRL3 which means 24gbps. The front panel port isn't HDMI 2.1 and only does 9gbps TDMS...

Why would a gamer know a ton about game development, any more than a driver would know about automobile engineering. However since you imply that you DO know so much, what are your credentials? What is your training and experience that gives you extensive insight into game development? More to...

I mean I will say it is impressive for what it is. The graphics are good for an open world Switch game. But it for sure looks like it. It looks like a Switch game, it runs like a Switch game. It is not some amazing feat of coding that makes me go "This can't possibly be a Switch!" They did a...

Yes.. and it LOOKS LIKE IT. It looks like a game that was designed for an old, low power, mobile chip. It's good for what it is and that's great but there were a lot of tradeoffs made, not in the least of which being low rez, lower than the switch's native and low FPS. Jedi Survivor is the...

I mean it is a well optimized game (my girlfriend has been playing it). However things that you notice about it right away: 1) It is locked to 30fps max, and it drops down to 20fps not infrequently. 2) Game runs at 1600x900 max, and frequently lowers the resolution dynamically to 1280x720...

I think it is two issues: 1) People got used to the consoles sucking, which limits (many) PC games. Because the majority of games are multi-platform, targeting console hardware is going to be a thing. Well the consoles were kinda shit for a while. The Xbone and PS4 were actually designed as...

It's because that's how you'd want it for a receiver setup, which is usually where you'd use ARC: TV has one cable going back to receiver, receiver has everything else hooked to it. In that case it would be desirable to have it be both HDMI 2.1 and eARC on that port.

Like the console, which is to say not great. My point was just that people shouldn't say "Well the consoles can play it well!" if they aren't using console settings and expecting console res/FPS. Basically a game is a bad port if an adequately equipped PC can't match console performance. We've...

I think people get confused by the shared RAM on consoles and think it is the kind of thing where it could all be allocated for a given purpose, like VRAM, but it is real different from how PCs work. Sure in theory that could happen but in practice it is how you note: The OS needs RAM and while...

That's super hard to do though. A truly new MMO concept is not an easy thing. In general, the MMO market is just hard these days. There are some really good established games with big studios behind them, and since people usually only pay one you've got your work cut out for you peeling off...
