Guys, i'm sorry to say that 15 years of avoiding innovation because we were the market share leader has to end. We thought AMD was a joke after so many issues in the 00's so we got complacent.
So we have to can all of you marketers who are shitposting on our advertising "review" site and hire some R&D people. Maybe we can scalp some from AMD.
Sincerely, Intel Executives
32GB of ddr5 can be found for ~$100, and any other upgrade from a ddr4 platform today is going to require new memory.
So the DDR4 13th series folks can stay on their oxidized processors, or they can pay money to get something else. Not much else to do there.
I upgraded my AM4 platform system to a 5800x3d a while back and it's still working just fine. I wouldn't recommend people buying into AM4 today just because no more upgrades are coming... but AM5? why not? It'll be around until ddr6 is affordable circa 2027.
I'm super interested in seeing how intel's 15th gen turns out. We know it's a new socket so the buy in cost is sky high as all have argued here (that mobo/cpu/ram is crazy expensive.) I can only imagine they will drop power load to avoid more issues but who can say. Maybe whatever design they are using won't have been so aggressively tuned or if they're lucky hasn't started physical production so they can modify it appropriately. Time will tell, and we won't know if it has the same issue for a year or so post release.
How much does it cost to fix a 14900k?
Reddit has been viral marketing for over a decade. Very little of what is on there should be taken at face value in terms of reviews of products. The only thing it's good for is to find information about fixes for things or some very broad generic info.
The recent crowdstrike debacle had a fix on their subreddit before it was communicated anywhere else. Stuff like that is still relevant at least.
I would gladly pay a couple bucks a month to use a digital distribution platform of my choice.
Okay, but what about all the games that have come out since steam has launched and ONLY have online-only drm options?
Not talking about MMOs because those are their own beast. I'm talking about a huge amount of games though excluding mmos.
I don't mind ~~digital distribution~~ DRM platforms, I just want a choice. I want licenses to be portable and I want to be able to re-sell licenses for games I do not wish to own any longer. I don't want to be bound to just console games either.
I think people often hate steam for their success
I hate them for forcing me to use a kind of DRM which will stop working once their servers stop.
Halflife was just fine without steam. Adding steam seemed to be a way to stop players from sharing CD keys.
Doesn't this infringe on fair use? e.g. if i'm making a parody of something and I mimic the original even by using a portion of the original's text word for word.
Everyone is so obsessed with having a monopoly over everything, it's not what is best for 8 billion people.
I'll agree with this. GIMP is the most user-unfriendly piece of photo editing software i've used to date. I can pick up video games like Shadow Empire and spend dozens of hours figuring out how it works but GIMP is a wall to me.
Extra mayo!!!
