I thought Mac was unix which is similar but different from Linux?

What developer uses Linux in professional work? Maybe for on the side stuff but I haven’t seen any corporate Linux machines.

What happens if you have $5 in your account and visit two stores and purchase something for $4 in each store? Not all stores process transactions immediately. Is the store supposed to just accept the loss and the bank doesn’t honor the transaction? I think if it’s a credit based debit card overdraft has to be a thing in order for this to work.

It’s a pro 9000 mk ii. Quite a bit older than the 1000

For printing photos? Is a laser really a viable option to a pigment printer?

I have an 8 year old wide format photo inkjet and it has yet to dry out or have issues with the rollers.

After owning a Hyundai I won’t touch anything made by Ford or Chevy again. This car has had literally nothing wrong with it for over 70k miles. Except routine maintenance like brakes, oil changes, air filter and tires.

It will have a boot or case on it and will be filled with grease. Just like a cv joint or ball joint.

I always see the argument for making areas more walkable. But I like a good chunk of Americans live in a subdivision and unless they tear down my neighbors homes to build stores I need to walk like 20 minutes to get anywhere I can purchase something. That said I used to live in Chicago and everything was walkable, however the population density made it possible. I don’t think you can simply make a place more walkable unless the population density supports it.

How do you "optimize’ it? You would think with so many game companies using it that if there was a better way than there would be at least one title with optimized ray tracing. The issue is the computational requirements for convincing ray tracing. When Toy Story 1 was rendered originally it took 45 minutes to 3 hours to render a single frame of video. Give it time and the GPUs will eventually be fast enough. Baby steps with new tech.

The problem with prebaked is you can’t have dynamic effects show up with the same quality as the prebaked light maps. Think of a car driving down the road or an explosion. I think ray tracing is great and in 5 more years when GPUs and game development has advanced further it will become the standard.

Pixar movies have accurate lighting which makes them look great. Lighting separates a good looking game from a great looking game and is more important than textures imo.

Okay and what’s your definition of user friendly.

Totally disagree. If there was a way to disable comments about Elon Musk, Windows and Trump that would be great. I mean yeah I get it. Lemmy users don’t like those topics but it seems like it’s just constantly force fed to you on this platform. At least on Reddit you could filter certain subreddits out but here it seems to be everywhere.

My biggest problem after owning a deck for a year is the controls. If you like to play PC games designed around a mouse and keyboard the deck is just a chore. I struggle to play games on my deck when the controls make playing the game take far longer than on a PC where I can quickly hover my mouse over things or click and drag. Yes it has trackpads but it’s definitely not the same experience.

That said if it’s a console first game then it usually works pretty well.

That’s how advertising works. You just try to get the name of a company out there as much as possible. It doesn’t have to be gold press to be effective. I mean we are talking about one of the most successful companies in human existence.

Yea I could believe the other stats but there’s no way one person out of 400 is being shot every day.

Yea sure some companies may lower head count in certain areas. The internet era certainly had the same effect. The overall impact had a net positive on jobs however.

They said that about the internet 20 years ago. It created more jobs than there were before.

That’s called not being financially responsible. You are spending more money than you make. Credit cards didn’t create this problem.
