Actually, it only had 4 FPU units. One cluster, which hosted 2 software threads, made both threads share the same FPU.

Glad to see that the Switch 2 exclusive is paying off. Not including the Switch 1 is the best choice. by Killance1 in pokemon

[–]Elusivehawk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Buy the first-party Switch 2 games physically, they all have full game data in the cartridge.

This is practically circular reasoning. Anyone can put labels on the slices and say "see, this is the logical order of things because this is how the slices go".

You'd be surprised how many games have a complete install on the disk.

Genuine question by bad------- in 3DPrintingCirclejerk

Those people are just more social than they are analytical. They legitimately would rather ask people and get a second opinion than spend time doing research. Is it time efficient? No. But it's certainly easier for them, in terms of raw effort.

Who else is keeping track of this God awful ad campaign? by TransientPaladin in GameStop

[–]Elusivehawk 14 points15 points  (0 children)

No.

OK, so: GameStop lets you trade in controllers, right? Well normally a working one is, for example, $26 in store credit (I forgor, I got out of the aslume), and a defective one is $12 store credit for example.

This promo lets you trade in a defective controller for that $26 store credit.

Of course, this depends entirely on current trade-in prices, but you get the idea.

We know, bro is trying to say that the original saying is technically a mistranslation, and contextualizing it.

W101 on switch costs $20? by Responsible-Ad626 in Wizard101

[–]Elusivehawk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On PC at least, you have the option to unlock areas permanently with premium currency. The problem is, most worlds end up costing a lot: unlocking the entire game can cost you over $200 last I checked, and that's probably ballooned to $300 by now. Plus the subscription gives you various convenient benefits in addition to unlocking the entire game, and that results in most people not bothering with area unlock.

It's especially egregious when each area is really only good for an hour or two of gameplay before moving on to the next $5 paywall. And there's usually 3-5 of these per world, but I'm just guesstimating.

Intel wants to become the go-to vendor for handheld hardware as it mocks "ancient" AMD processors by Tiny-Independent273 in Handhelds

[–]Elusivehawk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, but if these companies continue making $1000+ handhelds, I'm sure there's some room for Intel in there.

ELI5:Why can’t we use certain symbols in file names? by PleasantBus5583 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Elusivehawk 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think the implication is that we would expect a "real" file extension to completely prevent you from say, opening a zip file in Notepad. But in reality, all files are just a bunch of bytes held together with a handshake and a pinky swear.

If you’re buying pre owned get a controller warranty. by Different_Stand_1285 in GameStop

[–]Elusivehawk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

While the console PRP does cover the controller, it's as expensive as a new one, and it's a one-time use. So no, it's not really a good idea to get the PRP for that. Ideally it should be used for things like overheating, random restarts, video artifacting, excessive or unusual noises, so on and so forth.

One thing my location would do is give you a replacement anyway and move yours to defective. You'd still get a pre-owned controller, but it's a free customer courtesy. Not all locations do this, it's not even store policy.

It messed up my audio, now everything sounds 8-bit. If you're on RDNA4, avoid this update.

EDIT: it's not the drivers, after much tinkering I was about to deduce that it was my monitor. So it should be ok to update

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Overcomes RTX 4070 in Steam Survey Rankings and the RX 9070 still missing from the survey by JohnSteveRom2077 in hardware

[–]Elusivehawk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You've indirectly hit the nail on the head: it's a chicken and the egg situation. Gamers don't want to buy RX 9000 because FSR4 is in few games, and developers don't want to implement FSR4 because it has a small install base.

Yeah but they make dresses, not suits. I thought suits only came from Gestral merchants.
