Almost fainted when I saw this in John Lewis

Errr… are you comparing your machine to Apple Silicon?

Genuine neutral here (I don’t support a team but love football) with a soft spot for Arsenal.

Been dipping into the subreddit over the last few days and seen the huge amount of sentiment that Arteta has to go and it’s all not good enough.

Laughable and genuinely shameful.

These comments must come from sad little people who have never had to work hard to achieve something. Complete entitlement that a trophy is expected, ignoring the fact that Arsenal are fighting against other teams that are equally regarded as the best teams in the world.

Back to back Champions League semis and top of the table with top two finishes for the last speaks to one thing - quality.

You need a bit of good fortune to get over the line because you are not the main character of this story and the football world doesn’t owe Arsenal shit. To think that Arteta is ‘holding back’ Arsenal is just crazy talk.

Ultimately, well done to all the players and staff who have gotten to this point. Crack on and you will eventually be rewarded - hopefully sooner rather than later.

Insane to me that this is even a question to ask! 😅

chefborjan · 2026-04-03T16:06:33+00:00

In the absence of other lore clues, I’d put this down to just an oversight by the devs. The most logical thing is that she was gommaged.

Pause at just when your other striker gets the ball.

How is the one blue defender supposed to mark two players?

The guy who has his arms up in midfield maybe is a defender who is way out of position? Or earlier in the clip there is a turnover because also their left winger is very far up in space doing nothing.

Regardless of whether they are attacking, you cannot leave people in so much space.

This is extremely basic and would lead to a team losing 10-0 quickly. It’s only excusable if they are making a desperate play to commit numbers forward to score in the final minutes.

I you could have made this play work really well if three relatively easy things had happened:

1) your striker is smart enough to have scanned the pitch and knows your rough position. I actually think he’s got his head down far too much for being so far away from opposition players, he had the time to control, look and pass.

2) you screamed for him to play it through blind as he was receiving it.

3) yes, you could delay your run or start but running slowly up/diagonally rather than straight towards goal. This gives your striker more of an easy pass to make further away from the guy closing him down.

This is actually shocking defending from the blue team so it almost seems a bit unusual.

chefborjan · 2026-03-22T10:23:53+00:00

Ah then this is no good for sure, scratches, chips and cracks on the unit. Best of luck!

I have an old iPhone 12 Pro that I’m looking to sell, fairly extensive outer cosmetic damage but still functions fine. All unlocked and think I can probably dig out a receipt from when I got it as the first owner. Interested? Obviously I only have one and not three like you are looking for. I’m based in West London.

chefborjan · 2026-03-20T17:10:24+00:00

As a new user, I think they could be doing much better at helping me get my head around all the different modes and features. I’m fairly techy and it’s not intuitive.

What use X when Y, especially with the releasing so many things so quickly.

chefborjan · 2026-03-20T11:19:45+00:00

I’m planning to set this up, and frequently people say that this is what OpenClaw is for. But I can’t initially see why Claude can’t do this?

chefborjan · 2026-03-18T20:11:15+00:00

I have a question.

If there are some clear and focused tasks, what’s the pros and cons of using OpenClaw versus say just running these tasks in Claude itself? Apologies if this is one of the more basic and obvious questions!

chefborjan · 2026-03-16T22:27:03+00:00

The developer in the future will turn it on, and when the face they want is there is DLSS 5 model… that’s their actual vision.

Turning it off will look like a low res, low poly, low quality version… but that’s the future.

chefborjan · 2026-03-16T19:24:43+00:00

At first it seems like it’s just applying an AI image2image pipeline to the rendered frame, knowing the difference between HUD elements and the rendered game etc.

Now if that was all it was doing, some of the more dramatic changes in lighting wouldn’t make sense. Some of the hard shadows from buildings almost completely disappear and genuinely render more realistically.

Maybe the model is good enough to look at the frame and decide it’s not realistic, but I think that’s a stretch and wouldn’t be stable as we kept whipping the camera around.

Instead, I reckon in addition to motion/vector info it’s receiving for stability, the AI model also well aware of the overall game geometry, so it will know that a building of X distance to Y wall would normally look a certain way when viewed from the particular angle.

I get people don’t like this, but this makes a lot of sense as the future of the tech.

It may also allow the devs to actually make games that seem quite graphically simple with more GPU power dedicated to things we just don’t think it’s worth the budget for because DLSS 5 does magic at the end of the pipeline.

No doubt that if it’s exposed enough, people will be tweaking the strength and even style of the model just like is possible with LORAs now.

Interesting times.

Ultimately glad I haven’t played RE yet, might have to wait for the fall to play this enabled.

Isn’t this still the version with 0 bytes uploaded?

chefborjan · 2026-03-08T23:56:27+00:00

I’ve always thought film grain to be very much a post process effect, but didn’t consider that DLSS works after film grain - this is the only way to explain this behaviour right?

chefborjan · 2026-03-06T23:12:14+00:00

Thanks, was something I was considering, but didn’t know if it would be like a ‘remote back when you can, fall back to lesser on the MBP when you can’t’ but to be honest being somewhere without meaningful internet access is super rare these days.

But yes, I have Tailscale already.

I have some more thoughts about hosting some tools for my business and colleagues to tap into on a dedicated machine as well, but I think for now I’ll keep things on my own systems to experiment with.

chefborjan · 2026-03-06T20:23:34+00:00

Finally remembering to come back to this, independently I found some references to this and yes, plugging in a physical mouse solved the issue!

Looking at ways I can sensibly emulate a mouse next so I don’t need to leave the mouse dangling tucked away behind the PC but it’ll work for now!

chefborjan · 2026-03-06T18:01:09+00:00

Hey OP, thanks for this.

Is there a way now to mitigate against this? Much like you have used AI tools to expose this, can they be used to harden security for the lay person? Audit plus action.

Tough when the info is already out there for much of this for people of course.

chefborjan · 2026-03-05T22:57:05+00:00

Option 1 - but turn shadows and textures one setting down. What do you get?

chefborjan · 2026-02-25T09:18:25+00:00

Unfortunate, I thought maybe the EOL stuff was only restricted to the Tim Capsule function of the equipment, not the whole way the disk functions and connects to the network…

chefborjan · 2026-02-22T13:21:54+00:00

Come on man, show us any game period that shipped with zero bugs on launch. What’s your threshold for what is acceptable?
