    This WD Ultrastar drive is actually SMR !

    Smr isn't evil but... Increased size at the cost of latency, and seek time, and read times especially, write times are also affected if I remember correctly. Just everything about smr is slower but the benefit is bigger capacity.

    Not the only way yuzu runs well on the deck... But I suppose running switch games on the deck doesn't count as 1st party. But like was said comparing them is not really fair.

    Sounds like you don't own a steam deck or know what you're talking about. Switch and deck have very similar battery lives. The deck has a bigger library of games. Anything released on steam for current Gen will likely play on the deck at the same performance as a switch or better than switch...

    Microsoft says Xbox has "lost the console wars."

    Bottom line is 2 or 3 game unit sales is more profitable than a single console so why be exclusive to force console sales when you could either timed exclusive or just release on all platforms and ship more units. Overall vs controlling the market forcing support for one console over another

    Microsoft says Xbox has "lost the console wars."

    Sony is being a little bit butthurt over Microsoft owning Bethesda and Activision. They are trying to use a monopoly defence. To try for force Microsoft to not make certain titles that did not used to be exclusive exclusive to non Sony platforms. Exclusivity is stupid anyway the profit on...

    Me too I have some as3 and creamique too and some epoxy and the cleaning kit. And 3 or 4 tubes of as5. To the op did you wait the 48 hours and do heat cycles like the directions say on the as5 supposedly after the break in period it works it's best.

    The burn marks on the metal top are normally over the cluster I did a closeup on the two caps on either side of it looked more cooked than they do now as some of the stuff scratched off. Not great with smd rework and nothing exceptionally valuable on the drive just a windows 10 install for a...

    Players found cheating in Call of Duty games may now find themselves banned from the entire franchise, including all previous games and future titles

    That is even if they need to do that most of these games are out on the net days before release with a series of patches and a CD key generator drm is a joke it does nothing but break the rushed spaghetti code most games are shipped with these days. I am positive the latest cod will be no different.

    That will be a neat trick how will the ban work banning dynamic ip address? Battle.net accounts? So.... Yeah that will work great... Besides when do cheaters care about throw away accounts.

    No for editing photos you need lots of ram and vram the reasons you would want read and write speed is if you needed to access multiple images in parallel it can eat lots of ram and with many layers more and more ram so yes raw space is more valuable than faster. But still photo editing is not...
