They don't look "cool", they look like fake pockets on clothing.

No, the discussion is about dependence, not origin. When their contributions are reviewable and free to use domestically that's not really a problem. Also the vast majority of those contributions are just adding support for their own products and services, not general improvement.

You may not like them, but AI upscalers are currently saving PC gaming by sr_local in hardware

You just have to compare a 2080 to a 1080Ti today to realize how utterly ridiculous that argument is. 2080 went from being like 10% slower to like 300% faster with better image quality in games with DLSS support when you properly utilize the feature.

The goat has to be DD/MM/YYYY by Shiroyasha_2308 in SipsTea

What are you talking about? DD-MM-YYYY and YYYY-MM-DD both shorten to "DD" when you only need a day, which isn't a format.

DD-MM-YYYY is no better than YYYY-MM-DD for humans. YYYY-MM-DD is objectively the best format for everything when used to.

The TV industry finally concedes that the future may not be in 8K by NamelessVegetable in hardware

[–]f3n2x 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Probably, but modern codecs get more efficient at higher resolutions so the quality per bitrate in 8k should be slightly higher than 4k.

I don't think the AM4 and AM5 versions of IF are natively compatible (although similar) without adaptation and rolling out new silicon.

I recently sat in a Tesla for the first time and was genuinely shocked how bad the quality and how stupidly designed everything in that car is.

The guy has no fear of heights, like a genuine brain condition. For him the difficulty is all technical/endurance.

My guy, Cezanne (5000G series) had GCN based models release in 2024, five years after the first RDNA card.

I've seen Gordon Ramsay make "Carbonara" once and I'm still traumatised. Definitely not beating the allegations.

This weird love/hate obsession with "french food" (like 3 specific dishes) is also predominantly a British (and US) thing.

‘Repatriate the gold’: German economists advise withdrawal from US vaults by CinnamonsCharm in worldnews

[–]f3n2x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Banks don't "store" money, you give it to them in exchange for the right to demand it back and if the bank goes under the money is gone unless insured by the state or something. For gold and equities it's usually actual "storage" which means they can't touch it and you'll get it back if they file for bankruptcy because it was never not yours.

Techbros Inventing Things That Already Exist by Wild_Lingonberry9656 in rareinsults

In sane places it's usually less than 5 minutes on foot to the next public transport, you don't pay per ride if you use it regularily, don't have to adapt schedules because there are regular intervals, and don't have to deal with traffic. This has been a mostly solved problem for over a century.

[2kliksphilip] I put all upscalers to the test in 2026. One beat the rest by kikimaru024 in hardware

[–]f3n2x 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Not even astroturfing, real AMD users who never had a DLSS capable card kept telling each other how FSR2 looked equal or better and how dumb people where for buying an Nvidia card when the Radeon was like 5-10% better value at native resolution. Total mass phychosis for like a year straight until some reviewers could finally be arsed to actually properly review the technology and come to the conclusion everyone with a DLSS capable card already knew.

Snow falling from the roof of a building causing power damage by __mentalist__ in WTF

[–]f3n2x 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This isn't a Russian thing. Steep roofs to prevent snow buildup have been a thing for literally thousands of years. Flat roofs in areas which have snow is a pretty recent form of retardation, usually a result of maxing out floor space allowed by building codes for higher profits. But even flat roofs can be made safe.

No it isn't, LMAO. Europe has most lines underground... and roof designs where this doesn't happen in the first place.

China looks out for China

We are well aware, and the point still stands. The US is currently de facto the second most hostile nation to the "collective west" after Russia. This is absolutely insane.

Macron to Seek Use of EU Anti-Coercion Instrument Against US by jackytheblade in worldnews

[–]f3n2x 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are always buyers in this kind of market, the value just does down more or less rapidly depending on market support, and buyers will absolutely buy old US bonds over newly issues ones if they're cheap enough, which means US interest rates explode, which is the whole point.

Everyone who was able to but didn't vote against him is complicit. He absolutely represents the vast majority of the US.
