I guess the offline it's mostly to advertise privacy. Or maybe can it translate pdf documents?

First, you can disagree with my opinion and it's totally fine.

Not sure what you mean here.

Sencond stop commenting every line out of the context of my answer. It makes your answer extremely long to say nothing.

I was saying that the arguments didn't make sense other than "buy it and ignore the issues" mentality, now maybe I understand better your point.

For my my point? It's on the Niktek channel.

Whatever the game is. It could cost 60$ whatever I don't care if it's bad or not, it's just a game. What I care about is if the game is worth that amount of money. And in my opinion it isn't, or maybe if you just want to play a sandbox with loading screens.

If you want game faults it's mostly on the technical, immersion + developer implication in story telling.

Just look at the latest video on that channel (don't if you don't want to get spoiled) : It presents a part of the game where you get chased. You are supposed to get fast to your ship with your crew. The crew does run, but it stops at tables, people... Like everyone is chill jogging. And there is just some cries just for "ambiance". The run is interrupted by 4 loading screens. When in the ship it's like nothing happened outside and everyone is chill around the chaser. And keep in mind it's a f story mission!

I myself cannot call such thing exciting (for a chase part) or something good quality.

Nvidia issues were present on "lower" spec cards with plenty enough vram. Not even sure if they fixed anything. (https://youtu.be/lGL3fczSXaI?si=C2bAg_k77CAkhfcN) Nvidia could also have been at fault (nvidia deivers aren't always perfect).

Starfield is overall less buggy than the new Gold Standard AAA

Call finished whatever you want, but a game slightly better than others recent releases isn't "finished" just because it's better. It's a company experimenting at what extent they can screw you before they get hurt. And companies have been doing this for a lot of time, each time, screwing up people's preorders and hopes.

Now if starfield has everything you need, it's fine. But if it doesn't have everything someone else needs to play it at a good quality, the it isn't fine by my standards of quality.

I'm just gonna comment on some things :

Sounds like you're looking for a year 2000 game. More and more games leave out brightness control the last decade because you can do it at system level on tv or computer.

I'm sorry, but not everyone has a high brightness display. Adding a brightness gauge can be very useful for those people.

The rest is just nonsense and Bethesda fanatism. Like

if you like Bethesda games, you love Starfield

Is one of the worst take possible to save your wallet.

Like if they come out with a broken game at 150$ you are going to buy it because you like Bethesda? I cannot agree with this, and lots of steam comments neither. People are complaining about issues with the characters, broken launch mission launch bugs and bad quest variety.

And maybe you need to take a new look at what "finished" means in a dictionary. Because quest breaking bugs and missing features don't seem to mean "finished".

Well from the article a dataset is required, but not always the heavier one.

Tho it doesn't solve the speed issue, where the llm will take a lot more time to do the compression.

gzip can compress 1GB of text in less than a minute on a CPU, an LLM with 3.2 million parameters requires an hour to compress

Hmm, ok. I see. When clicking on the last button in a category tree, it chooses randomly an instance.

Tho for that specific category, I cannot access https://lemmy.sdf.org/. Why? I don't know, maybe broken or regional block?

If regional block, that is an argument to warts looking at user location. Tho not sure if it would be useful for anything else.

It would also be interesting to categorize more instances. Maybe even put smaller ones to distribute the load. Tho sometimes the smaller ones may not be well prepared for a lot of users. And at the same time the local feed may not be the most active. Tho the all feed may be interesting for new users.

The instance where I am, compuverse.uk is a general tech/computer instance, but had issues with storage for example.

So when does the random instance is chosen? When the website is loaded? When the user clicks on a category?

Maybe currently there aren't enough instances categorised on the website to get enough randomness.

Is there, or would there be, a weight in the randomness in order to chose closer instances based on the user's location?

For example sh.itjust.works is an instance based in Canada. When the reddit exodus happened. That instance was slow due to the distance. While others closer to the western europe were faster because they where closer to me.

Tho rn, it's about the same. So not sure.

It's not about the bugs. I have no idea what bugs are in the game.

The game was advertised as "next gen" priced as a high quality AAA, then it's just not next gen, it's last/previous gen with s* optimisation, and bad physics on many parts. And not delivering well on the rest either.

NikTek did some videos on starfield. The channel is mostly news as meme or similar things : https://youtube.com/@NikTek?si=Ovu03z8y9UeIiiMo

It's a bit extreme, but we can see the care put into the character, weapon and static object physics and interaction is nothing. It's year 2000 type of quality, even then there was maybe better character physics.

They didn't even bother to add a brightness control in the game. No hdr (even if I can't run it, is a f 60+$ game !). And the start screen could have just been a style, to be "empty". But with all of this, it's more likely they just didn't bother.

And there is plenty more complaints on the game quality.

I don't call such a game "finished".

If Google didn't remove it from their browser... Not sure in how much time, if ever, jpeg xl would become popular.

Well for it to get a chance in the US where the other side of big tech is, it would need to be sold to another company than Huawei, or for the US to relax the ban.

I have no idea why the US banned Huawei so intensely other than blocking competition from China.

I am sory for not living in a giant home without any 2.4ghz neighbors around me.

Also I myself use 2.4ghz for low bandwidth devices, and other connected devices which don't have 5ghz. And there are also the neighbors who cast their 2.4ghz network they may use how they will around me.

But I didn't have many issues on most of the headsets I tried. At least higher end.

There were still some outliers and with bad unreliable connections, even on high latency (jbl tour one m2 for example).

Others like corsair headsets had issues at "high" range (like 10-15m through walls), but no issues at close range, but that is expected from their specs.

Well look at wifi vs bluetooth. Wifi and bluetooth both use 2.4ghz. But wifi has a lot more bandwidth on 2.4ghz. Maybe because it uses more channels (a bigger frequency range)?

But there is room to improve bandwidth, even over distance. Tho how would they have done that, no idea. There is need for more time so devices with the tech can arrive on the market, and be tested.

But also more time so more specialised content can be produced to inform us normal people.

The new creative zen hybrid pro hybrid and pro sxfi seem to be advertised to use bluetooth 5.3 with LC3 and LC3+.

Tho not if they are on the market yet or if there are reviews.

 

Compared to bluetooth :

  • 60% lower power consumption
  • Six times higher data transmission speed
  • 1/30th the latency
  • 7 dB improvement anti-interference for a more stable connection
  • Twice the coverage distance, and
  • 10 times more network connections

Notice it's not talking of compression yet, but raw connection performance.

Due to the US Huawei ban, the tech won't arrive to the US yet. Nor maybe ever until something is done.

We are not sustainable And neither is any other device maker. This industry is full of "feel good" messaging, but generates 50 million metric tons of e-waste each year. We believe the best way to reduce environmental impact is to create products that last longer, meaning fewer new ones need to be made. Instead of operating on feels, we operate on data and actions. With funding from Intel, we commissioned Fraunhofer IZM to do a detailed life cycle analysis (LCA) on Framework Laptop 13 to help us understand where we are today and where we can continue to improve. Check out our thoughts on reducing environmental impact and download the LCA report here...

 

Still always check the sources. One of the most useful thinks to know. Is the source trustworthy or not, where does the image come from...

Comments are squished to a pretty bad level when the thread of replies is very long.

Example screenshot here : https://lemm.ee/post/7885555

Thunder version 0.2.3+16 play store.

 

Lemmy is surprisingly good for the small amount of people compared to Reddit. And even with all the Images the apps have to load, the consume less data than reddit.

This month (Ce mois-ci) the use of reddit was very limited and a bit of r/place to look at the amazing anti-reddit art. Lemmy : about 3gB Reddit : 2.33gB

Last month (Le mois dernier) it was only reddit use. 12.49gB

Tho there aren't really many videos on Lemmy, which may explain a part of the difference.

And on reddit well there are the ads and the tracking.
