Will Microsoft drop the TPM requirement for Win 11 once Win 12 rolls around?
Or maybe they will launch Win 12 with optional TPM support. Imho making the OS(es) TPM only cannot be good for their business, many people are still on Win 10 with no intention to switch, since their motheboard does not support TPM and do not want to upgrade PC / waste PCI-E slot on TPM extension.
[Spoilers] About beating the game
::: spoiler spoiler So, if I decide to go and beat Ganon early to unlock the completion tracker, the game resets back before the fight after credits roll. So does that mean I can do the the rest of the main story also (phenomena and so on), or do I get locked out? :::
The real story
He is a dreamer
AI tech will take our sense of privacy, it seems inevetable.
With the proliferation of AI powered deepfakes at galactic speeds, there will be nobody (especially women) that will have shred of privacy left in few years. It does not matter if it is fake photo or not, nobody should be able to see “you” naked unless you allow it. But with rise of tools that are able to run on consumer level hardware, that seems like really losing battle. Since how can we police what a person can run or cannot run on his personal computer? That is another can of worms better not opened, since the idea of some agency being able to monitor what you do on your PC is another dystopia. Soon, you can never be too sure if your neighbor or coworker did not deepfaked you and now every time he looks at you he sees you as sexual object. That is highly uncomfortable though for sure. Since we cannot possibly stop it, what is the best option moving forward? Normalizing it? Marginalizing it, since it is fake after all? Ignoring it? No option seems very good either. This goes way beyond current framework of “revenge porn”, since when it comes to revenge porn, the case is simple - unlawful distribution without consent. But what about unlawful generation for personal use without consent? I cannot think of legal grounds that could make this criminal offense, since soon we would have to ban even drawing lewd doodles with pencil at home.
Will we see Nvidia FrameGen in old games that are engine locked to 30 fps?
There are many games, mostly ported from older consoles, that are constrained to 30 FPS due to engine limitation and if the FPS unlocks, the engine goes bonkers. But what about frame gen? By basically generating additional frame, we could get 60 FPS without triggering the engine jank.
Totos butthole is still very sore, keeping in touch with that amazing Mercedes-Benz AMG Petronas team spirit
It will only go downhill from here
Using external SSD drive via USB 3.0, is it worth it?
So most games today require SSD (like recently Alan Wake 2 or Hogwarts Legacy) to load assetts fast enough. When I bough PC 4 years ago, I was not thinking that far ahead and went only with 500 GB ssd and 2 TB hdd. What I ended up with is now I have huge hdd that simply is not up to snuff in modern games and small ssd to juggle few games between. My case layout does not allow for any more internal drives, so either I throw away the hdd and buy internal ssd or go for external. And here comes my question, is external via usb 3 good enough, or will I suffer and end up having to buy internal ssd later down the line anyways?
