Its less about immedoate profit and more about pumping up gamepass numbers under one umbrella for investors to see a large number increase. Its part of the reason why Xbox Live Gold has been rebranded into Gamepass Core. Microsoft supposedly is under their sub projection (despite having about 40M subs) and trying to pump the numbers as much as possible.

Overwatch makes no sense given its a feee game. Unless your implying gamepass pays for the battlepass, as the game moving to gamepass would be a detriment on console as it does not require gamepass core to play (as its free)

Im of the boat that believes innorder to boost gamepass subscription numbers for shareholders, WoW subs will eventually merge into gamepass

Premium sub probably does but not guaranteed. Iirc, premium subs offer creators $ from google via time watched, vs free users ad impressions.

Its part of the reason why some youtube channels have scheduled Livestreams, as Livestreams make a lot of money off premium subscribers watching.

I think its the notion that its a game first device, that also happens to do pc stuff. Like you mention, the lines get blurry as theres always weird exceptions (e.g. xbox having dev mode allowing for unique softeare to be ran, also can technically run microsoft cloud edition if you wanted something computer like, or like the PS3 being able to run “OtherOS” before sony backtracked on allowing PS3 users to run Linux on the device. Would fall under the same kinda distinction that seperates a laptop and a “gaming laptop” drspite it functionally being the same.

The only differemce is valve tailored SteamOS in a way thats console like, despite its linux internals, almost in the same way that Xbox’s os is a severely stripped down version of Windows but is still windows nonetheless

AMD supports ML, its just a lot of smaller projects are made with CUDA backends, and dont have developers there to switch from CUDA to OpenCL or similar.

Some of the major ML libraries that used to built around CUDA like Tensorflow has already made non CUDA branches, but thats only because tensorflow is open source, ubiquitous in the scene and litterally has google behind it.

ML for more niche uses basically is in the chicken and egg situation. People wont use other gpus for ML because theres no dev working on non CUDA backends. No ones working on non CUDA backends because the devs end up buying Nvidia, which is basically what Nvidia wants.

There are a bunch of followers but a lack in of leaders to move the direction in a more open compute environment.

Of course. But with translations, brings mistranslations, especially with tier 3+ languages to learn as a english speaker. The data is subject to the accuracy of the translation, and Chat GPT translation is still pretty far from perfect.

Machine learning is only as good as the dataset it has, and given that english has a HUGE data set on the internet, its okay at it, but it makes sense that for other languages, its likely not ideal.

An example would is art. Look up one using a smaller data set (e.g fully legal ones where all training data had artist permission) vs ones trained on the larger dataset where legality wasnt a concern. Night and day difference

I think the distinction is need. I dont like it when its mandatory, but i dont mind that the option is there. E.g some people like preheaing their oven on the drive home(or a warning that something on the stove is on if accodently left on), or in case of the dryer, when its done.

One common one I think is helpful is those who may have forgotton to close their garage. Easy way to check without having to drive back and do so.

Im not downplaying anything. Im just answering if the trucks have AC yet. What makes you think that Im siding with UPS of all companies?

Its worse if you cant sweat due to saturation of the air. The main benefit of the fan is to blow off sweat off the body so it can generate new sweat beads

Iirc older trucks didnt, the upcoming trucks they have coming in should. I dont think the company has made a wide switchover to the new trucks yet.

I believe the transition starts next year. It was a very recent initiative. Old trucks are supposed to at leat get fans.

I mean, a single year upgradable parts is already better than 99% of the market, thats not a hard bar to pass.

I couldnt even imagine trying to port any non assembly language to circuits in verilog.

Because piracy is often a service problem and not always a price one. If a pirate can offer you a better service, people will pay for it.

If you only see piracy as a price issue, then it would make sense why you dont understand why people do it.

Take for example, pretty shitty android boxes preloaded with various kodi streams. Say if you speak a niche language in the U.S for example, and want media in that language, some people would be willing to pay for a (pretty shitty) android tv box that has warez steams of saidncontent because thr legal methods isnt easy to obtain nor have the technological knowlege to properly pirate.

Crash reports arent the only thing that is a result of a bug. Take for example, the bug involving high idle power consumption is not a crash related bug. The practical way to fix that is to juxtapose settings and conigurations of users receiving the said bug to see of its hardware or software related.

How do you think AMD fixes “bad drivers” that some people complain about.

Im hesitant to believe Framework is going to offer something which is in the Dragon Range family of cpus given they are using Phoenix. I wouldnt think theyll be jumping on it, at least this gen.

Maybe down the line if the community shows that they would purchase it, it might get some traction, but the market window is pretty small given you not only pay for the r9 tax, but the X3D tax ontop of it.

Some of the chromebooks offered to schools dont come from google. Some go to an actual leasing company who then gets chromebooks, mainly from lenovo due to them being the biggest leasing business in the game. Ive seen my fair share of terrible chrome books, but there are definately schools who lease what is basically the chromebook equivalent to a thinkpad

Souce: work in ewaste so i see what gets thrown out first hand.

Nice, a spot for 2011-2022 Kia/Hyundai vehicles
