The article is slightly off, in that itâ(TM)s implying that gamers took issue with EA misrepresenting women in historical battles. Well, look, some of them did, for sure.
However, as usual, if I recall, the backlash was due to EA / DICE responding, effectively that anyone who takes issue with women in gaming, in any capacity is clearly a basement dweller, behind the times, gamergater or some other thing. (Something, to this effect, was said, if I recall correctly)
So much like GameGate itself, what happens is some idiots shout and whine and then, in response to this, someone says something over the top, in a blanket generalisation kind of way, next thing you know, youâ(TM)ve pissed people off who actually werenâ(TM)t that bad. So begins divisiveness *(ie: skub vs anti-skub)
So to go back on topic,/some/ people probably just said âoeGee, this seems a little historically inaccurate, why canâ(TM)t you just make the women in this be X, who were actually in the war and were badass!â And those guys (or even girls) were called chauvinists.
This keeps on going on, on the internet, as much as it sucks to walk on eggshells, people continue to not be careful and end up inciting this kind of thing.
Also, free âvirtual signalâ(TM) points for EA if they appeal to the far left crowd (ie, generally the journalists)
A mess, as usual. Oh one last thing, worst of all really.
1 game, getting bad sales numbers impacting the company this much? Someone needs to re-evaluate their budgeting!
They exceed 10KM/hr on sidewalks, so you simply can't get the things.
Which is a bit of a shame, I'd like to try one. As annoying as they apparently are, we have a ridiculous insane population boom here (fuelled by the govt) and public transit and roads have become a nightmare (my morning commute has doubled via public transit, simply due to more stops, more starts, more traffic and more people getting on and off the cable car / tram)
I'd love to jump on a scooter and get to work that way.
a 2.5mile trip shouldn't take 45 minutes via public transit. (and yes, Americans, I know I'm the lucky one here with such a short commute)
It's dangerous enough in Melbourne, I'll be *DAMNED* if I would *EVER* consider riding a bike on the roads in your country. That's some seriously dangerous roads.
I thought, this might be the USB consortium, attempting to improve the atrocious reputation USB C has.
It (to my knowledge) can still fry your phone, nintendo switch, or whatever you plug into it, if you use a cheaper cable.
If you purchase one of those high end, new USB-C battery packs, then plug in a USB-C to USB-C cable into another pack? What happens? I don't know, but it's certainly, physically possible.
I know Nintendo switches have been destroyed, I know Benson at Google lost a Chromecast due to a poor USB C cable. I don't know/just how smart/ USB C is, you'd expect plugging 2 charging devices into each other, they would go "huh?" and just stop doing anything, perhaps the proper spec cables do just that, but there's been too many fried USB C devices out there, hence the atrocious adoption.
They should've gone with colour coding too, X colour = USB 3.1, Y colour = USB 2, Z colour= can do video also. Something like that, I don't know but as it stands, it's a horrifically confusing standard, the only thing going for it is a bit better power delivery and reversible cables.
As for the topic at hand? Well, initially I assumed, heck this is going to be a good thing for the consumer, based on the headline. That does not appear to be the case, this does read exactly like some kind of "screw the consumer" proprietary cabling standard and frankly awful as heck.
One thing which is important, if they're going to fine you for running reds. Then the orange / yellow / amber, should have IDENTICAL TIMING for EVERY LIGHT IN THE BLOODY STATE.
Your brain shouldn't need to be analysing how long it's orange, you should just know, as you decelerate (or arguably accelerate) - "hey, I know I have X window here"
I'm (fairly) certain they are all identical in my state in Australia. It makes the 'speeding / redlight' fine you may / may not get, at least somewhat more fair, in that you know the window.
Also I mean obviously, not only should they all be the same state wide (ideally country) - they should also be a reasonable duration, be it 1 or 1.5 or 3 seconds, whatever.
Finally, the timer, saw this for the first time on Red / Green lights in Philipines, very cool - timer running down, showing you how much longer left for red / green, really good stuff.
RIO Tinto does mining almost in the middle of nowhere, true dessert / wilderness stuff. The trek is probably at least 2 days if not 3 or 4 solid to get back to civilisation.
These guys with a little upskilling will be able to do a 'normal' train driver job (again?) which may be a downgrade of a full 50%, but it's still high paying work. With the insanely off the chart, ridiculous immigration ponzi Australia is running, surely the major cities are hiring more and more train drivers? Right?.... Surely...
They import 2 plus million people, very few of which can work or will work.
This will simply reduce the value of money. So if you don't get a fairly immediate pay increase when this goes into effect, you're suddenly losing money.
This is kind of like qiantitive easing. Not good for the middle class at all.
Very basic economics and logic really. Very basic.
I happen to use open subtitles constantly, that site doesn't necessarily mean piracy. Probably, but not definitely. People do legally rip both movies and tv. Plus there's legally purchased foreign content with bad translations.
Well now I need to research how to VPN/properly/ on my network. Unfortunately, I have about 20 machines and I don't want default traffic through the VPN to boot. So that really sucks.
Congratulations, you're pushing people to encrypt entirely

Have a friend in Google who can confirm exactly what you're saying. He's constantly relaying stuff exactly as you describe to me. Furthermore this isn't just one office, he's in a non US Google office and same shit there. Extreme politic focused justice type people spending all their time on that (and bullying / Gestapoing the rest of the staff) that productivity, is generally down or on fruitless, stupid endeavours.
Anyone with a Google account had gchat, allow non Google customers to have some kind of access to it through sign ups.
With work, it could have done all we wanted, considering the age of gchat and Google's original talent pool, it could have been as good as what's app, iMessage, Skype, or practically anything you can think of, combined.
They had the market at one point. Practically everyone I knew and know, used gchat, long before it was even common to be available on a chat service all day (what's app, Facebook Messenger)
I'm sure we've all posted this, we've all seen others whine about it.
I still am surprised EVERY time a new Google article comes up about messaging. With the resources, the user base and the ability to "force us" on to a product as Google account holders, I don't think I've ever heard of a company drop the ball this badly. Over and over and over and over again.
I'm normally averse to firing people for mistakes, since they've now learnt a lesson, so they (should) improve. In this case though, several people should be entirely fired, very very much and potentially never let near such roles again.
I'm sure some here will say "this sounds unnatural and all people need is discpline" and you know, a speech like that is correct.
Life is also too damn short and some of us genuinely do have a pretty poor metabolism, or in my case I've now gained and lost weight so many times, I have the excess fat cells in me, which is hard to get rid of (read up on it, fat cells get bigger and small for you, unless you REALLY push too far, THEN they multiply)
If you said to me "you can take this drug, with 0 current side effects, but you'll live 2 years shorter" I'd take it. Heck, hypothetically if they made another one for free time "you can take this drug, sleep 3 hours a night and feel totally and utterly normal and well rested, but you lose 5 more years" I'd take that too.
I know that 4G had this great super low latency, high speed 'handshake' I saw articles on it. When you first request a packet, it's way quicker than 3G was (not just bandwidth)
However, ever switched your phone into airplane mode entirely? MAN does the battery last a long time.
I just got the new Huawei Mate 20 and man oh man, it's well reviewed for battery but with the SIM disabled, it's out of this world. Was going to last a full week (was backing up old phone)
Hopefully 5G continues to be efficient in this regard.
Oh and this specific comment of yours, is wildly incorrect
">And no, Intel's "7nm" will not be superior to other "7nm" chips, because it WILL be Intel's 10nm process! ^^ (Intel came up with it, btw, according to the current top comment.)"
Intels 10nm = similar to TMSC's 7 This article is specifically about INTEL doing their own refresh to 7nm as in "intel 7nm" not "generic 7nm" - this will likely be similar to what TMSC claim to be 5nm.
If you have any understanding of how this stuff works or follow tech news, I'd expect you to be able to discern that. Read this stuff regularly, open your mouth only when you know what you're talking about.
End user desktop benchmarks, do not correlate, in any way, with your post for average use case. Single core is still king in a plethora of tasks, and likely will be for a long time.
Server performance, on seriously threaded applications, per $ per core, $ per watt, etc, AMD is doing amazing, I'm very happy for them and it's awesome.
This changes nothing for home users. Intel still hammers it home at single core, not just games. They have better IPC and more frequency.
I am not intel, I do not own intel shares, I do want competition and I'd like AMD to compete, to imply otherwise is in fact probably more indicative that you either can't read reviews very well, or you own AMD stock.

It's just a totally unnecessary change. It's clearly not about space at all.
I'm not paying more for a device fractionally faster, without a convenient thumb unlock or headphone jack.
And yes. I've owned 4 of the last top end iPads in a row. I'm done.
And a flat screen too!
Beast processor also
Going to try and get 5 full years a out of it, until this stupid curved screen and headphone jack far has circled back around.
When did walking up an escalator become unsafe?
I've never heard this before in 40 years, done it all my life and I've never fallen.

This is actually, very very likely in the next 300 years.
This is one idiot Apple feature, not worth copying.
Just picked up my new Huawei phone 3 weeks ago, after 7 years of Android loyalty.
Detest their insistence that only the weak phones get flat display. Even more glad now with this headphone change.
Fan since the S2. No more, they don't want me as a customer.

I was about to tell you how wrong you are until I saw the rest of your post, pretty cool stuff!
We got our first 10mbit network cards due to doom, man adding that third player in my group of normally 2 was hectic but worth it.

What part of "closer" do you not understand?
Mate, go away. You're embarrassing yourself. Just stop. Go abuse someone else. /ignored.
You are quoting
> "It's an outright fact that intel measures their foundry processes FAR ***__closer__*** to real figures than the others"
With
> " Intel's node name may be **__**more conservative**__** than TSMC's"
(my emphasis)
So thanks for proving my point I guess?
Are you very confused? You seem to be.
