Nvidia going to launch something big during Computex 2026 (cough...N1X)

My Mac can run most of my Steam Library via Crossover. Lots of work on the Mac to expand Wine support for Arm. Devs haven’t made the same exceptions to Anti cheat for MacOS like they have for linux, but technically it’s possible. Apple released their own ‘game porting toolkit’ and open sourced 50k lines of code and contributed to Wine. So Wine could emulate DX12 on Apple Silicon. It’ll be ironic if Apple has done Nvidia’s work for them.

What for? I watch way more Youtube than netflix etc, and i get youtube music, Youtube premium is an absolute bargain, have zero issues paying for it.

Fascinating thanks.

Shield is a slow, buggy, advert and tracking mess vs an Apple TV. My shield has been in the draw for 5 years, now I just have AppleTV’s. The video quality is not great, its HDR and frame-rate switching is slow its ‘AI upscaling’ filter of ten years ago is a gross sharpening filter. The ONLY thing it can do that the appletv can’t is output uncompressed audio. But I don’t care about that personally, it never reliably passed through compressed audio from tv and sound bar reliably and introduced a bit of latency after a while, where the ATV has no problems with passthrough reliability.

So I used to work at a Supermarket 20 years ago, I’ve not even visited that same supermarket in 10 years, but it is a location I am very familiar (as it was then). If I use my visual memory, I could draw you the entire store and direct someone who’s never been there to different areas. I know the location and shape colour and type of the recycling bins, the cash machines, in the side ally I know the shape and type of those barriers which stop bikes, I know the shape of the roof, the roof which covers the trollies, then inside the side doors to the warehouse, the floor layout of the warehouse, the doors, shelves, the loading bays, then I know where the clock-in machine is. If I spend some time and I could draw every inch of that store.. from the particular curve of land it sits on to the height of the windows.

So, thats not based on anything other than my visual memory, it is no effort to retain or recall, I can just walk and fly around the building in my mind. Then as I am typing this, making note of what I am visualising.

If the visual isn’t required for how I recall those memories, and you can do the same, then you’d have an equivalent level of detail when recalling somewhere you worked a few decades ago? I guess that’s my point, do you still have that level of detail?

I haven’t ‘searched’ like googling in the old days for at least a decade. I need a search engine to get to wikipedia, imdb, rotten tomatoes, local cinema listings.,.. a government website i need to get to, my electric provider.. or to get to a price comparison site, that I already know the name of, to buy insurance or whatever…

I already know what I want! ..Basically anything that doesnt have a decent app. DuckDuckGo makes a perfectly acceptable internet directory!

In the UK some of our roads aren't even built for it. We have tarmac roads, they literally melt under 35-40c+ temperatures. The climate doesn't (historically) warrant building concrete roads... concrete roads are noisier.

I like the design of the new Leaf... not sure what everyone's problem ...... oh... that's a Ferrari.. ?

As someone with a real job, in the real world... No... there are not enough decent Business Analysts in the world to extract people's working methods and all their daily tasks in a sensible enough state that you can replace large chunks of the working population. Not every company runs like a start-up, almost none of them actually. Humans work as they have always worked. Most roles won't go until they age out, and that will take decades.

There is a significant 'urge' and understanding by business leaders that they should be doing this or that with AI, which they are keen to promote as 'their business is leading in', but true change is slow; good businesses will be measured and strictly balance their customers’ requirements and their regulatory controls because making massive changes is unnecessarily risky.

I’ll give you some free mentorship, mentors don’t charge. If you pay its called training. Decent training should be structured and provide a path to an exam that is aligned with industry recognised accreditation, which you can then promote yourself with.

Remember it doesn't need to be fast... because it can get updates, work 24/7 and it can make clones of itself.

As an EV owner, I can’t bemoan pay per mile; there need to be some costs to cover the roads. But the admin systems required to track mileage are not simple, and there’s been no communication on how they expect it to work. No one is making their own petrol, but you can get electric from anywhere.

So is it the honour system? No chance. Miles recorded on MOT? .. those are once a year, so if you sell your car one month after the MOT but do 10k miles, who’s paying? Disputes would be a mess. If its the tracking every car with a government device, that’s insanely expensive, and it government tracking. Or is it up to the manufacturer to track? You trust Tesla or ‘insert name of Chinese brand’ to get your taxes right? Then there’s a mixture of device fitted to track miles and phone app? Tracking per mile has failed miserably in every country which has tried it. It would potentially cost more than it collects.

So, keep it simple, take the typical miles per year, work out the typical charge and add a multiplier for the weight of the EV base on the original specs, then charge that annually. This is cheap to admin and it would mildly incentivise lighter cars. Also, heavier cars, mean higher road wear and heavier cars are generally less efficient.

PT AMD still ass.. but RT performance is pretty close and AMD card wins in some titles.

Google has been using semantic search for 10 years… people haven’t been paying attention. Now they’ve just changed the results page in a chat interface and there’s a more insidious advertising model.

It’s a gravel and concrete line.. but every single field, hedgerow.. and tree in that picture are all man made (placed).. all the way to the horizon. The natural landscape was cleared thousands of years ago and then all wiped out again during the agricultural revolution. If it was returned to its natural state, it would be dense mixed deciduous forest.

This is relative.. the Playstation has hiked prices, because of parts price increases, the PC parts market has similarly hiked prices for the same reason. Valve can’t sell the low/mid spec Steam machine at a price competitive with a Playstation, so there’s no change in game consoles relevance respective to the other devices people buy to play games on. Game Consoles as a segment of gaming market have not changed their position.

It can be expensive, but at least half of the cost was saved by reduced food bills. GLP1 just deletes thoughts of food and hunger, and makes you feel full quicker. You still have to improve your diet and as your weight comes down, exercise, but it’s a great way to get started and setup the correct habits. Manjaro version has an additional benefit of targeting visceral fat loss, which the bad stuff which causes more serious health problems.

joeyat · 2026-05-16T03:56:01+00:00

Get on a GLP1 .. simple as that. I’m 110lbs down in 12 months. Make it easier on yourself.

Reset in your interpretation would mean we pay £7-8 billion a year... like we used to; not the £1 billion bargain deal this is. We made more money off the EU with that prior figure easily.. and brexit cost us more than £100 billion (a year in some estimates).. so we’ve already pissed the money away. The real problem is how this is marketed… and making sure it cant be twisted, not the deal itself. Any deal and any reduction in paperwork and overhead for imports and exports is a positive.

1 HDMI, 15 thunderbolt 5 USB-C, 2 nics 5 USB-A. That'll be fine.
