madrix999··on Intel slashes prices in face of AMD competition
More like this, intel has cut a lot of corners for a long time in their x86 processors, mostly to have better performance, which ended up with all these vulnerabilites we keep hearing about every couple of months. They're just now suffering the consequences of all the shady things they've done to try and establish a monopoly in the CPU market

Isn't KDE maintained by RedHat? There was news a while back about them killing off KDE in the near future
madrix999··on Intel Core I9 9980XE vs. Ryzen 9 3900X Benchmark
But intel calculates their TDP at base clocks while AMD calculates theirs at boost clocks, so AMD definitely definitely has a better wattage per performance

Or they could've been more transparent, everyone knows batteries dont last as long after 1-2 years, but they decided to gimp them down (and effectively slowing them down, even if you dont like that term, it is what it is). Their batteries are sub-par in capacity compared to most manufacturers (They hadnt even passed 2000 mAh until the 6 plus/6s plus, and their non-plus models have never passed 2000 mAh, only the X's have more than 2000)
madrix999··on Inmates in Finland are training AI as part of prison labor
Sounds like you're pulling stuff from out of your ass, the truth here is corrective vs punitive, corrective leads to a lot less recidivism, unlike punitive. All you have to look at is recidivism rates in the US vs northern European countries that have corrective prison systems in place. Norway has a 20% recidivism rate compared to the US's 67.8% withing 3 years, and 76.6% within 5 years.

You've got to be joking... He's a genocidal, homophobic, racist piece of shit, borderline dictator. Read this: https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Jair_Bolsonaro, if you agree with anything on there, you really have to rethink your entire life
madrix999··on PhysX SDK 4.0, an Open-Source Physics Engine
It's actual garbage on CPU tho, it's made to be GPU accelerated. There's many more physics engines that arent proprietary to certain hardware that run way better than physx
madrix999··on PhysX SDK 4.0, an Open-Source Physics Engine
> With an open source PhysX library, you can make PhysX work in any environment.

Not if their drivers on other environments dont support it. Consoles are all AMD, and NVIDIA only has 3-4% more market share on PC, while intel has around 70% of the market share. That's a really low number of platforms for a proprietary piece of tech.
