Jim Whitehurst? The guy who sold Red Hat to IBM? Cool, cool, cool. Cool.

I guess launching this next year ahead of the rumoured Switch 2 launch would make sense to steal some of Nintendo’s potential market share.

I bet the Switch 2’s SoC will include a GPU based on Ampere or newer, which means RTX 3000 series capabilities which. Nvidia Tegra Orin from 2019 already included that much.

Of course it will be very likely more limited than even a 3060 mobile chip, but it could include both RT and DLSS 3.5 if they wanted to. I doubt they use RT but DLSS would make a lot of sense.

I mean the Xbox Series S will be a 4 year old non-high-end console by the time the Switch 2 will be released. I can definitely see them go in that direction.

Maybe it will have more RAM, but it will most likely have slower/cheaper RAM. LPDDR5 or LPDDR5X instead of GDDR6. Should also be more power efficient.

I just wonder whether they want to use DLSS for more FPS on the handheld or whether it’s simply their future way to upscale from the native handheld resolution to 4K when docked.

Surely DLSS would be very taxing on the battery life, but it would be great to improve the docked experience which is often rather bad (stuttering, etc.) with the old Switch.

Let me guess, you belong to the people who call an ananas a pine apple?

The subscription also includes free games, though

So privacy first first and privacy last second, interesting combo

I can’t speak for the church staff, but personally it’s just much more convenient to do it on my work laptop.

Also, my employer isn’t allowed to monitor me without good reason. So yea, I don’t even disable the VPN to my office for it.

Will Google really manage to make it impossible to root your phone?

Google has managed this years ago, but it’s optional. There was a fairly short timeframe when most phone makers enforced it, but now most allow power users to disable the security and root their phones. But usually they will disable some security-sensitive features like Samsung Knox. And many security-sensitive apps like banking apps will not let you run them anymore (if yours does, great for you, but that also means your bank’s security is shit, just FYI).

If you use 1 rubel coins, sure. Personally, I prefer to splurge on TP.

Let me know once the 50 rubel note is cheaper than a sheet of TP.

Does sucralose count towards “sugars”?

Gonna get fucked in the ass either way

What kind of sugars are so low in calories that you can add 20g of them but end up with just 120 (kilo)calories?

X.com was the startup Musk (and others) launched in 1999. It merged with another startup to create PayPal in 2000. Musk bought the X.com domain back a few years ago.

So yea, he’s been obsessed with the letter X for a while. Other than SpaceX, there’s also Tesla Model X.

Check out all instances with grad in their name as well as all instances with .ml domains.

Either you’re wearing it (way) too tight or it’s cheap garbage. Going through two wristbands per year is not normal.

wtf do you do to those wristbands?

It’s a nice bonus that they can interact with each other, but microblogging and link aggregation are two different things, no need to make them more interoperable than they are.

Bird flu is an influenza virus, not a corona virus. Thus the “flu” in “bird flu”.

Also, Covid-19 wasn’t Corona 1, we already had SARS, etc.
