Only if you have an extra empty room in your house or you like replacing furniture and lamps on a regular basis. And I'm not even talking about the innocent pet that crosses your path if you ever play a martial art game...
Uber is a business and has to play according to the rules governing business. They don't get a free pass because they have a different business model.
If you wan't to play, you have to pay.
Company are also cutting back on IT position. My firm, one of the biggest tech and engineering firm in my country hasn't offered a permanent position for the last five year and are cutting post via attrition on the existing one. And this is after they got rid of the external consultant... More...
Actually we should be going back to manual labor. Less waste and over consumption, more equitable trade. Especially today that we have better workplace health norms and accident prevention. People would be in better physical shape too.
No a console. No need for drivers and no unofficial upgrade possibility. Just pop the module and insert the new one.
Just like nintendo did in the NES and SNES days with helper chips delivered in the game cartridge, but instead of coming with the game they are sold as stand alone module. Say...
Here's an idea microsoft... Build a modular console where component can be easily replaced/upgraded.
Then no need to design a new console from scratch every five to seven year, you only have to release updated components that are compatible with the console/hub. With console being connected to...
In Canada, a GTX970 cost between $425 and $500 before tax. That is $100 to $200 more than a console by itself.
If you factor the rest of the components you end up with a machine that cost two to three times or more the cost of a console. Yes the games are better looking on a PC if you spend...
But you have to admit that the cost of entry on PC is way more than for a console. Your example of Arma is a good example of that. It would cost more than the price of a console to buy a GPU able to run it optimaly without adding the cost of the rest of the PC and that is for only one game...
With this economy it's hard to justify spending $500 every time a new GPU generation pops up.
It makes better sense to buy a console for that price and play games that are optimized for it instead.
I blame the duopoly of AMD and NVidia for this. Without more player on the field they are keeping...
Since fire is many time a byproduct of earthquake, how will this bead protect you from the intense heat while the house burn around you. Even asbestos suit only protect you from the heat for a few minutes...
Bring back cartridges. No install, no load time, highly collectible. Use the internal HDD for patch and DLC only. Use "special" chip in cartridge to bring new feature or performance to the system.
Would never affect me... I never needed an alarm to wake me up. I'm one of those person who when I go to sleep with the knowledge that I have to get up at a set time in the morning, I automatically wake up 5 minutes before that time. I've never been late in my life.
for purposes of facilitating diagnosis, repair
I wonder if this precedent could be used against DRM since they impede diagnosis and repair of faulty optical medium or corrupted files...
Funny enough, the main reason I buy vinyl is because of the packaging. For me music is music independent of the format, but vinyl gatefold are much more pleasent to look at and read than a small print CD liner.
Also, plenty of old time music never made it to CD or digital and I do like many of...
People use GPUs for things other than videogames. Using 3D apps like Blender, the more vram you have the more complex the scene you can render using Cycle.
Even Amazon.ca sell them for a higher price than that and so does Newegg.ca. In any case I don't buy online having been fleeced too many time. Microbytes sells the 390x in the $600 range. So my point stand, the 390x is an overpriced underperforming video card. Its only redeeming attribute is the...
Why not... Microsoft and the Japanese conglomerate did create a unified system in the 80's early 90's with the MSX plateform. Technically they were computers but they were mostly bought for the gaming side of it. Hell some of the biggest franchise in videogames started on the MSX liike Metal...
