At most I could see it being a kind of novelty for stuff like movie theaters to add to the immersion. And the obvious ads bullshit.

DLSS and FSR are not comparable.

"FSR looks like shit" is not the same thing as "upscaling looks like shit".

Yeah, there's a reason any movie attempting 3D CG with any budget at all has used path tracing for years. It's objectively massively higher quality.

You don't need upscaling or denoising (the "AI" they're talking about) to do raster stuff, but realistic lighting does a hugely better job, regardless of the art style you're talking about. It's not just photorealism, either. Look at all Disney's animated stuff. Stuff like Moana and Elemental aren't photorealistic and aren't trying to be, but they're still massively enhanced visually by improving the realism of the behavior of light, because that's what our eyes understand. It takes a lot of math to handle all those volumetric shots through water and glass in a way that looks good.

Is it really unreasonable to explain that nothing you do on a work computer is private, though?

Obviously you don't want to do any of that. But if you have a reasonable set up, you can when you need to, and telling people not to do shit they shouldn't on company hardware is a good thing.

Ranked choice enables actual sane candidates, because people are allowed to vote for people who aren't insane without costing the lesser evil (because primaries massively benefit the most liberal/conservative in their respective parties) their vote.

Third party candidates are wasted votes now. Ranked choice lets you vote for them, then if they're eliminated, you still get to vote for the less bad person.

No, I'm not. People don't turn down free stuff with no strings attached. It doesn't happen.

Because it's free. I guarantee you 90% of people will take free shit if offered free shit.

Including it for free completely undermines the whole reason for removing the cable.

Then everyone will claim one and you'll increase waste.

The whole reason they're removing the cable is because of pressure from governments not to waste materials including it.

I have massively better quality, stability, and latency with the RemotePlay app over the internet from PS5 than I do with Steam in home streaming actually in my house. It's still not good enough for high precision games, but Steam isn't close.

PS4 can't stream for shit because it can't do the encoding.

His brain is still fucked.

It's too early for him to seriously evaluate anything. Just rule him out, let him recover, then convince him in the offseason.

"To clarify: I had no involvement in the actual development of this official port, and neither did Flat2VR Studios," the modder added. "They just bought all the rights to the concept and code of the unfinished mod (which tbh they didn't really need to do), and then did it all themselves."

I'm curious how much of his code they ended up using, but it's really cool to reward the dude like that either way.
