arrested development

it was from a press conference where they said they were done with version numbers and that windows 10 would basically be supported forever. that’s not mischaracterisation

that is exactly what hey said.

whoof. i still don’t understand what makes an npu different from a vector coprocessor (except the proprietary api) so if they’re smart about it they’ll fall back to gpu use. they will not be smart about it.

vista was great on compliant hardware. w11 is very much not.

god i hope they fuck this up

wasn’t advertised as such though

remember when windows 10 was supposed to be the last os they ever made

hm.

i do own the sprawl, and i don’t remember why now but that book made me uninterested in pbta as a whole. maybe i’ll go back to it.

peepee.

this is why ttrpgs should not be so combat-focused.

it can’t.

try to disprove me.

cool, then neither is my desktop pc. i get all my software on 5 1/4" floppies.

you can just untick “german” in your language settings…

it’s not a slur, it’s a signal that that the poster types like they’re on reddit.

I don’t know where you’re getting thsi from

probably from 3g

not per cell. per tower, sure, but a tower contains tens of individual cells. i’ve been to places where there are just two or three cells on days where there are a couple of hundred people and the signal just craps out.

there’s also MIMO, which lets one device relay a 5G signal for another. i don’t think most people appreciate losing battery to route someone elses call though.

without reading the article: it’s because every device connected to a cell halves the bandwidth available to each device, and after something like 30-40 devices the cell is full. so it hands over to another available cell, which may also be full. which means that if you’re in a crowd of thousands, your phone desperately bounces off of every cell it can see and keeps getting rejected, boosting its signal every time to get farther away.

this is why we have mobile cell towers for events.
