It’s bitrate and computation based. Playing back a waveform through speakers takes very little computation and doesn’t really have all that much data.

Computing billion of pixels per second by doing exotic math between thousands of entities with millions of individual physics calculations and then ray tracing all that and doing it 100 times per second… dude, that’s many many many orders of magnitude more complicated.

To put it in perspective- a heavily compressed song almost fits on a floppy disc. A heavily compressed movie almost fits on 600 floppy disks. A decent quality movie takes 4000 floppies. An hd movie- 10,0000. A 4K UHD etc etc film? Close to 50,000 floppy disks. That’s just video, there’s no physics, no ray tracing, no rendering, no bump mapping, no animation, no anything, just displaying data. Now imaging doing all that, but 5x more per second and add all the things I said.

Graphics cards of today are more powerful than an Empire State Building sized computer of the 90s, probably more powerful that most of the computers on earth put together in the early 90s.

Why did games look basic? Because we had basic level computational power. But why was sound so good? Because sound is like stacking wooden blocks when modern games are like colonizing mars. Different orders of magnitude in complexity and scale.

A single smartphone image is easily 3x bigger than a high quality song- and that image needs to be rendered hundreds of times a second for a modern game. It’s not even the same sport.

And trump won the dick sucking contest!

Good point. I believe it’s $$$ and is tough for smalls. Best of luck on your search!

I’ve worked for a small business in tech for 15 years- it’s a great company that cares for its people. I think some of what you’re describing is just the nature of larger companies. The bigger the machine, the smaller the cog.

Well, I guess tim apple sucks more dick than we thought :(

Boooooo

Is this a fucking joke

DJT is the ultimate cuck- he gets off watching his country get fucked.

Good question, as an American, I’m all for these fucks being the first against the wall.

If they require you to use the bastion, then trying to avoid it is probably a bad idea.

If the bastion is running an ssh server, you can jump through it with ssh pass through (using -J).

SSM provides session manager which allows you to skip having a bastion altogether- it basically lets you start an “ssh” session to a private instance without opening ports or networking using aws creds. This requires that you have access permissions to do this and that ssm is enabled.

But… if the reason you are using the bastion is so that they can inspect the traffic, then they’re not gonna let you bypass it via ssm because that also bypasses the managed networking.

I love that smell. Libraries too.

I’ll reserve judgement until I have one, but here’s my $.02:

The Wii U was wildly innovative and a giant flop. In the end, it was a big clumsy prototype for the switch IMO. The switch was the perfect evolution of some of the ideas the U had, like bringing the stationary console into your hands rather than just a tiny pocket console.

The GameCube didn’t do anything really that wildly innovative after the n64, it just had discs and a more comfy controller.

The Wii was pretty fresh, but in the end, relied a bit too heavily on gimmicks, the key parts of which I think were successfully captured by future motion controllers like the joycons.

The DS was super cool, and I love mine, but most games ended up primarily using a single screen, and the other screen just kinda sat there or acted as a map. Switch has a larger touchscreen which makes up for loss of stylus in a lot of ways.

The 3DS was cool for a minute too, but the effect was eye strain inducing and had limited value IMO.

I think it’s great to come up with something totally new now and then, but changing for change’s sake probably isn’t good, and axing a form factor that has been so wildly successful sounds risky.

Nintendo has always operated on a tick-tock pattern (gameboy -> pocket -> color -> advance -> ds -> ds lite & 3ds). Plenty of evolutions between form changes.

Phones, computers, tablets, and now consoles are all reaching their inevitable optimized form- large screens with good I/O. While boring to look at, at the end of the day it’s about the experience of using the device, not how wacky the console looks/works.

I don’t doubt that Nintendo will have more wild ideas in future systems, but I personally dont want a dual screen switch with an attached printer and a VR headset- I want a bulletproof hand held that does what it does very well and provides value. The entire switch concept is so well executed and seamless- don’t take that away! Make it better- battery, heat, graphics power, ergonomics, charge speed, Bluetooth, build quality, etc. make all those things as good as they can be. The switch 2 looks like it improves on many of those things without taking anything away, so I’m pumped to get my hands on one!

Oh yeah execs fix all the problems!

How much power could $36 million dollars worth of solar panels produce over 1 year I wonder? And then keep them going for 30 years? And another $180 million worth of panels over the next 5 years, and millions more in panels up to 2050? I feel like the power produced by an array that size over 30 years would far eclipse the value of what little carbon this will extract.

There’s no water in space though!

El Capitan can accomplish in one second what would require roughly one million of the fastest smartphones working simultaneously to do, according to Livermore.

… in how much time? It does in one second what a million smartphones do in a day? Minute? Hour?

This is either missing a unit of time or it’s a convoluted way of saying it’s as powerful as a million smartphones.

They pop up regardless- the “algorithm”. I downvote and block the worst of them to try and reduce it, but Google still ends up pushing some in

It’s all over YouTube shorts from shitty third world content theft channels.

Been solid so far, but I’m on pretty new hardware too…

This may be true and if so, bravo for them! But China says shit ALL THE TIME that is totally untrue or has insane caveats. I’ll reserve my thoughts until the results are verified- both claims (power usage, and comparable performance/accuracy).
