No one has ever explained how the energy is suppose to come back to Earth in a non-crazy fashion. Until then, this will always come off as an impossible idea.

Without delving into the question over how good the game is, this sounds like a company that simply has the wrong processes in place. A case of "working hard" instead of "working smart." As a result, they waste a lot of time and resources on things that ultimately don't matter. I'm sure the person in question worked really really hard on the game, but it's mostly pointless and ineffectively effort.

Sounds like a classic push poll or a click-bait study with the goal of making headlines.

Scientific polling, outside of a handful of well-funded firms that are legitimately trying to find out voter intent before an election, is basically dead. Without landlines it is extremely expensive. So very few things are even worth polling. Most forms of polling have pretty much stop existing altogether. What's left are more or less the scam artists and unethical marketing firms. As a result, you can no longer trust polling of this nature anymore.

There will come a day when people will realize that even tech companies aren't worth that much.

People made the same claim about DLSS 3. But those generated frames are barely perceptible and certainly less noticeable than frame stutter. As long as FSR 3 works half-decently, it should be fine.

And the fact that it works on older GPUs include those from nVidia really shows that nVidia was just blocking the feature in order to sell more 4000 series GPUs.

It’s less powerful than an Xbox One X. I think the problem is that they didn’t really think through what a console generational leap would actually consist of.

The Series S will become an ever bigger anchor going forward. Eventually, there will be 3rd party games that just choose not to bother with the Xbox at all because of the Series S.

If they’d taken the Series S as the base line during development, they would have made life a lot easier for themselves.

The problem is that the baseline is actually the PS5. It outsells both versions of the Xbox by a factor of 2. So the Xbox Series S is an afterthought, and always will be.

Kbin is about 3 months old whereas Lemmy is about 3 years old. Kbin simply wasn't ready for growth, and still has a few major feature shortfalls. Lack of API access is a big one.

The world is fighting fewer wars than ever in history. That doesn't mean there are no wars, they're just much fewer in number compared to the past.

The simple answer is to give it all away in some way. The notion that you can personally do good with that money is the delusion of every billionaire.

Of course, many of his acolytes—especially those in Silicon Valley—have tended to believe that he has everything in hand.

One thing I've learned recently is how braindead much of the Silicon Valley venture capital community actually is. It wasn't just that they all put their money in one bank that collapsed when they all pulled out. A major act of stupidity in itself. It is that they consistently have very little idea how business works in general. They seem to be living in an insulated bubble, and only survives because other people dump billions of dollars into the lap. No one checks up on them nor verify any of their startups are actually viable. It's just more and more money dumped into their laps with most of it wasted.

Eventually, the cash spigot will end, and my bet is nearly all of them will forced out of the industry. Collectively, they have done nothing but waste hundreds of billions of other people's money. Even their few "success" stories are examples like companies that got bought out with few ever making money, or companies that could only survive if the venture capital market was crazy strong. So even those are flops if we're honest. So the whole thing seems destined to fail in a spectacular way.
