    The Apple Vision Pro goes on sale in the US on February 2 for $3,499

    I wonder how they hold up being dropped several times, rain soaked, freezes in subzero weather, hit by a ball, frisbee, fist etc. I want my terminator vision goggles!

    The Apple Vision Pro goes on sale in the US on February 2 for $3,499

    Watch about 1/2, that was enough hysteria of world doom. Same story, hyperbole, from ages past on new technologies. What ifs. Yes, a knife can be a vital tool in preparing food or can be used to slice and dice people, it is how it is used that makes the difference.

    The Apple Vision Pro goes on sale in the US on February 2 for $3,499

    Pretty cool, will wait until software, OS, bugs and maybe next version Plus night vision, lidar, back view window on display. Maybe target, oops, mean tracking of objects.

    NVIDIA rumored to be preparing GeForce RTX 4080/4070 SUPER cards

    A good bump lower in price. Card is still over priced in the end

    Naaa, just a bunch of rich kids getting one to hang on the wall to impress their girlfriends. Maybe never used. 😊

    NVIDIA rumored to be preparing GeForce RTX 4080/4070 SUPER cards

    4090 at 4K Native, Alan Wake, High Quality Preset, High Quality Ray tracing -> 28fps. I really don't think in the near or somewhat distant future low end and mid range GPUs will have double the performance of the 4090 (basically double the transistors or clock speed) to make PT that common even...

    NVIDIA rumored to be preparing GeForce RTX 4080/4070 SUPER cards

    I would think that was necessary in order to have better control over resources. Putting together, especially black box code, makes making optimize coordinated programs almost impossible.

    NVIDIA rumored to be preparing GeForce RTX 4080/4070 SUPER cards

    In my experience, RT is good when it has a significant impact on image representation, realism when needed and not degrade performance to point of affecting adversely the game play. Also when choosing what looks better, as in lower resolutions with RT on, maybe with lower other graphics...

    NVIDIA rumored to be preparing GeForce RTX 4080/4070 SUPER cards

    I would say any generalization misses the mark. Go by per game and then if RT even makes a meaningful difference in the IQ. Then the odds one will even care playing it. AW has software RT when PT is off and looks awesome in itself. PT in that title does add some more accuracy but is it ground...

    NVIDIA rumored to be preparing GeForce RTX 4080/4070 SUPER cards

    Supers are turning out to be super disappointing. Only card interesting is the 4090 for this generation. BestBuy had several versions for less than $1800 last night. Not something I would want to get this late in the game cycle though at even MSRP.

    Ubisoft Wants You To Be Comfortable Not Owning Your Games

    I’ve found just reading forum experiences, comments, images is enough for me to make a good decision or chance in buying a game I would like without having to try out multiple games, hours at a time to just feel like my hour glass of life is now less. Of course CP 2077 I thought I would love...

    Ubisoft Wants You To Be Comfortable Not Owning Your Games

    My 2 cents worth or less. Subscription model does not work for me. Especially if the norm, death by a thousand slices. Had Ubi subscription for a period of time, I just did not use it enough to warrant the cost. It is like having a subscription to 20 different pay channels where realistically...

    GeForce RTX 4070 Super reviews

    Not impressed with the 4070 Super, better than the regular 4070 which is still overpriced. The 4070 Super brings nothing to the table in performance/buck compared to what was already available from last gen AMD parts. The 4070 regular price should have been reduced to at least MSRP of the 7800...

    AMD Ryzen 8000G Processors Launched for the AI PC Era + 5 series updates

    8700G has peaked my interest in an APU. Maybe time again to put the Commodore 64 case back in use. Would prefer Linux over Windows in this case. Downgrade to 45w, do what I can to maximize boost frequency with the lower setting.

    The Apple Vision Pro goes on sale in the US on February 2 for $3,499

    Come on, Apple new Appleverse will be ushered in where you can buy land, build (for a cost), sell, trade, transact (for a small Apple fee) and so on. 😊 I think more inline with huge movie productions, artist, architects, design and engineering oriented. Remote avatar, for example doing a remote...
