it's not entirely clear if the HDMI Forum can (or will be able to) block people going with a trial and error approach to getting more modern HDMI features working in the open source drivers

Hey this is our monopoly! You can't just come in here and use your brain to bypass our arbitrary rules!

I wanted to try it, but they specifically banned Linux players, so they didn't want my money I guess

Commenter didn't say it, but also the IO board may be bad too. Drive may be fine if you crack it open and treat it as an internal drove. (Note you may be forced to reformat it so the data would be lost, but functionally it might be fine)

If you're only option is to give in to big corpos, then don't do it. Go replay a classic game, relive a world you haven't touched in years. Mass effect, dragon age, halo, skyrim, think of all the old games completely playable on a 360 now that you probably haven't touched in years. Go back to them instead of giving in.

I truly believe its bad now, but its not going to last. Yes, I know that they want to take computers from us, but their purchasing isn't going to stay this consistent. Its going to be rough for a bit, but after a few more contracts fall through and these purchases aren't renewed for year after year (and looking at stock prices investors are not happy about these massive purchases) data centers are going to purchase less, and I really believe we're going to see hardware crawl back to gaming.

Its up to us to decide which companies deserve our money when that day comes.

A Milhouse divided!

You're a grand old flag you're a highflying flag!

In five years when its even more dire WSJ will be posting about how millenials are splurging on sliced bread and milk.

Almost like George Lucas saw something happening and based star wars on something

Like a seasons worth of work right there

Like half a day of factory work

Its been usable, but hitting certified meaning that steam now ensures it works

Don't know why you had to make that sexist. I know male servers who have done the same.

 
 

I'm all for it, absolutely strike, but...

I think it's too late. The time to strike was years ago against the obvious bad decisions of upper management. Stock price is less than a dollar, the company IPs are worthless

Better late than never I guess

 

Hadn't seen it until now, but loved it!

 

We have another event that invites people over to our side!

Kind of annoyed at her for only releasing it on closed platforms before, but here it is!

Amazon's Fallout countdown delivers possibly the only thing more pointless than a New Vegas or Fallout 3 remaster

 

I've been an AI realist from the start. What can the models actually do? What are the limitations? Ultimately, I think there is a place in the market for them - for people who understand the limitations of them and know when they're spewing BS.

I am not shocked at all that OpenAI (and Microsoft being one of it's largest shareholders) is burning cash and suddenly is realizing it may not be able to make good on it's promises. AI reality vs AI hype. Us actual tech people have known since the beginning this was all hype, now finance people are starting to notice (about time).
