Will Microsoft drop the TPM requirement for Win 11 once Win 12 rolls around? in c/technology@lemmy.world

From business standpoint, it simply bleeds you potential profits. If tens of percents skimp on two of your OS iterations in a row and keep windows 10 (which most of were "free" upgrades from Win 7 to begin with) then you are losing lot of revenue in a long run. I got the original win 10 upgrade in 2015 (bought win 7 in 2011) , in 2020 build a new PC and still use that licence on it.I possibly see myself using Win 10 well into 2026/2027 when my PC is due for complete replacement. So that is over 15 years period where MS saw no money from me while I still use completely legal version of OS. If there was no TPM requirement, I would probabably already be on Win 11

I think even the "handcrafted" experience will become redundant in couple of years. Give it text prompt, give it source image, and it will generate everything up to a tiny detail to a spec in text prompt.

If you think about it, there are already tools that can do pretty convincing face swaps with few clicks and just from one low res photo at whatever angle. Long are gone the times you had to train the models for hours and had to have few hundred photos to just get "okay" fake. Once deepfake video creation becomes this simple, it is game over for porn industry.

Since why would anyone go into porn industry, when they can just use a tool to create lewd content of themselves if they are so inclined to make a living that way? And then it goes the other way around, why would anyone buy it if they can just homebrew it for free.

All in all, it is a good thing. Less exploitation of actual human beings and more power to "consumers". But then there have to be rigid laws against actuall AI porn dissemination, it should be illegal for anything else than private use unless actual consent to be used as source can be proven.

Too early to say, but it does seem that the new flexible parts rule clarification could have been aimed at their car

[Spoilers] I applaud Bethesda for creating one of the best "Sophie's choice" moment in gaming (lemmy.world)

I mean, putting two companions with highest affinity in mortal danger and having time to save only one is brutal, since most of the time, the characters that die in games are predetermined and players may or may not care about them.

But putting two characters that player spend most time playing with, that makes it lot personal. Even ME2 and the Suicide mission did not force you to make such brutal choice, you could always sent someone you do not like to die.

It's not binary choice like Wolfenstein either, where at the start you choose one guy who dies from two guys you knew half and hour and that somewhat alters the story.

You sacrifice someone you spend lot of time with and will probably be pissed/sad for the rest of the game he is not with you anymore.

Overall, Bethesda has come long way since Skyrim when it comes to telling stories, most of the time, Bethesda games stories were weakest link, but Starfield manages to put together really good (not great) story

I will probably stick with good old tested Bethesda formula since Morrowind, but on a space scale. Land on their planet, take all their valuable stuff, murder them if they resist, never come back. rinse and repeat.

The lack of actual continuous gameplay being shown is kinda alarming this close to release in c/starfield@lemmy.zip

[-] Adequately_Insane@lemmy.world -2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

There will be bugs. Lots of them. If there is no progress halting bug in the game someway halfway through the main quest, that will be miracle and I will question whether it is Bethesda game at all. All bethesda games are bugfests on release, but at least they give the community keys to the game and then we got unnoficial patches, that fix like thousands and thousands of bugs over time

I mean, we never got more than half a minute of gameplay before they jumped to something totally different. Nothing to gauge what the actual gameplay loop is like and how all those systems feed into each other. The bigger previews are all kept under closed doors and hush-hush.

I am not saying it is end of the world, I will still buy the game Day 1 since it is Bethesda, but it is kind of unheard of to have no actual gameplay showcased so close to the release in modern gaming era. It definitely do not radiates confidence in the game from MS. It is supposed to be their big game, yet they just show bits here and there
