Usage % is kind of a misnomer, as it is specifying the amount of processor cycles are being used, rather than how much of the silicone in the hardware is being used. You can have a really inefficient and heavy operation that uses a tiny part of the hardware, but eats up every processor cycle, and have 100% usage with barely any thermal output or power draw. For example, writing a small script that reorganizes an extremely long list of items can use every processor cycle and bring the system to 100% usage, but it is only operating a small portion of algorithms on the processor and not actually using a lot of the hardware. So that 100% usage is likely accurate.

This basically means that the game is rather unoptimized, or at least using heavy technologies that don't use all the hardware but take a lot of time/effort to do.

Well, clocks are just mechanical sundials. Before clockwise, there was sunwise (or deosil), and clocks' movements are based off of the movement of a shadow across a sundial.

As a PC enthusiast my main gripe has always been the lack of choice over performance options. I want the choice between higher fidelity or higher framerates. The new generations of consoles have included this option, and it is awesome. I also like how newer generation hardware has been able to run the older games it is compatible with at higher fidelity AND higher framerates, bringing the hardware improvements to those older games and increasing their lifespan/playability.

2K is supposed to refer to a 2048x2048 square 1:1 aspect image, same with 4K being a 4096x4096 image. This term is correctly used a lot when referring to texture sizes. A 4K texture is 4096x4096 texels.

I think the term started getting mixed up with people discussing what resolutions benefit from texture size increases. Generally, if you are running, say, 4K textures, you would really only always benefit from that if you have a 2160p screen, just because lower resolutions dont have the definition to actually display those texels. So, people start inter changing "4K screen" and "4K-benefitting screen" and we end up where we are now.

Lmao Ubisoft of all folks should shut the fuck up about UI, they are literally the source of the meme about cluttered and overly complicated UI. If Ubisoft is complaining about a UI I have to automatically assume it is a good UI.

Also, if AAA developers have been paying attention for the last decade, they would know that consumers have valued quality and shown disdain for MTX since MTX started becoming pervasive. MTX overall can generate a lot of revenue, but it isnt sustainable, hence why there is always some sort of FOMO characteristic included with the MTX system, making things limited time and constantly shovelling low effort "new content" to fill out the MTX system.

Um, "the state" is whatever the government is. Are you actually suggesting that True Anarchy is the only leftist organizational structure that can fit the definition of "Leftist"? Because that's what you are alluding to.

Also, you absolutely did not provide the "definitions of left and right". These definitions aren't even universally agreed upon. I am assuming you mean "Liberalism and Conservatism" when you say "left and right", and it is just untrue that Liberalism is incompatible with authoritarianism, and it is equally untrue that conservatism must be accompanied by authoritarianism. For example, Libertarianism is a patently right-leaning ideology that completely rejects authoritarianism. At the same time, communism is state-imposed redistribution of economic means; that is 100% undeniably a left-leaning ideology that accepts and implements authoritarianism.

State-imposed collectivism is left-leaning authoritarianism. It is the authoritarian and non-voluntary implementation of leftist economic policy. It is an extremely simple concept that I cant fathom how you aren't able to grasp.

If you mean that he can appeal a contempt charge, that is technically true, but the appeal for that would take place after the main trial and would not prevent him from being held in detention until then.

He can appeal from jail.

Cool so I can come in to your house and steal all your shit, beat up your children, and shoot your dog, and you aren't allowed to fight back because if it was justified, you wouldn't need to?

EDIT: I seem to have misinterpreted the comment, as you appear to be referring to conscription being unnecessary rather than the fighting. Taking the whole context of the comment supports that, but taking only the context of the final sentence makes it appear that you are saying "if fighting is justified you dont need to fight" rather than "if fighting is justified, conscription is unnecessary"

um ACKSHUALLY you can disable Windows Update competely by setting group policies to disable automatic updates and specify a custom URL for Windows Update and point it to nothing. There a few other local group policies you can configure to further prevent updates, just open the Local Group Policy Editor and go to Computer/Administrative Templates/Windows/Windows Update (or something like that, look for Windows Update under Computer Administrative Templates).

I know this because literally yesterday I had to undo all of that so I could download something from the Microsoft Store (doing this also prevent MS Store apps from downloading)

Hello, I am trying to sign up on sh.itjust.works, and I filled out the sign up form, but when it told me it would send a verification email, it never actually sent it. I tried signing up again and am told the email already exists. I try to sign in and nothing happens, I dont get an error it just doesnt do anything. I have checked my spam folders and got nothing. I signed up on lemm.ee and instantly got the verification email, so it is clearly an issue with this instance in particular.

I'm not too concerned about the account being created here, as my goal was just to move away from lemmy.world due to it never being up, and since I did get an account created on lemm.ee I suppose I dont NEED multiple accounts across instances, but I wanted to bring it up in case anyone else is having this issue as well. I didnt see any sort of support contact information for the instance, just a link to lemmy.ml official support, so if there is a better way to communicate this issue to the admins/people in charge, please let me know.
