Not heard of the first one.

Which Star Wars game release was trash with horrific performance issues?

It’s a shame they didn’t consider moving the LF foundation to Europe or something. If the choice is kick out contributors to support sanctions or operate without political pressure, the second is far better.

I cannot stand Putin or Russia’s action, but punishing individual contributors just trying to write code and build Linux isn’t helpful.

Unless evidence is found of malicious commits, it is pretty harsh on those caught up with this.

Let’s remember that many Russians will probably be locked up and/or killed for coming out against Putin. Punishing them achieves nothing.

Regardless of content. I learned a long time ago that only unhappyness can come from paying for games by EA.

Though all AAA should come with a “may cause irritation” label.

Indie games are king and that is where my money goes.

A business easily offers a 40% discount. You didn’t critically assess that, ask how, and give off vibes it was a charitable and Intel was ungrateful. TMSC while an interesting business is still a big corp with profitability at heart.

Even if Intel aren’t the good guys, you cannot assume TMSC is. I like AMD, but I’m under no illusion they could throw consumers under the bus tomorrow for self interest. Right now, it’s king for Linux hardware though.

They have a big market share and can improve margins with big state subsidies and firing people. Bug corps always fine. Workers are the ones that suffer.

Don’t crack out the violins for Intel just yet. The reporting is hyperbole, and if you can’t digest the facts through the sensationalism. A media break might be a good plan.

The key word is temporarily. How long ago was this?

Calling people dumb then throwing a weak argument doesn’t make it stronger.

They’re on wafer thin margins with vendor lock in. The strategy was not successful.

If you can offer a 40% discount and still make profit, your prices are probably 3 times the cost.

If you cannot go to another supplier, you have vendor lock in.

I’m an AMD guy, so I got no skin in the game defending Intel, but if you’re shilling this much for TSMC, you aren’t really bringing an unbiased opinion.

Who possibly saw that if you kill your manufacturing and buy from a company with monopoly power, they could write there own profits.

Sometimes big companies are really dumb.

Actually not, with the job cuts the other day, share price rose.

Isn’t this just mostly clever accounting, burning intangible assets etc.

They’ll make 10 bn a year by cutting jobs and be laughing. Note the share price rose as markets love redundancies.

The fact they were willing to try it says all it needs to about them. They only stopped because of complaints.

Your argument is like saying Unity game engine is fine because they rolled back on the changes. Nope.

Tenacity is much more trustworthy for me.

Could you elaborate on the harder to use? It was a fork so should be pretty similar. They overhauled the build stuff to make it easier to build on multiple systems.

He is an oxygen supply absolutist. Just don’t annoy him.

Are people exiting PC gaming or do they already have gaming PCs with competent hardware?

I suspect the market is saturated.

Since that whole telemetry debacle, I have no interest in this project. Tenacity is where it is at.

OpenSuse Tumbleweed. Rolling and up to date. Stable. Games well.

Isn’t it punishment enough having to use Azure? It’s worse than having to use Google Cloud…

I don’t think you can “knock-up” a guy.

Ooof. That is a brutal line of questioning.

Home Office never had a good reputation with this sort of stuff. I think they were pretty thorough on visa through marriage as well due to there being many fake marriages they had to fish through.

If that is true, every asylum seeker would volunteer for an LGBTQIA+ charity. If it’s abused it could undermine the cases of gay people genuinely needing refuge as conversation goes from safety, to loophole.
