Following the unusual birth, Krispy Kreme has offered Dallas, and, more pertinently, his family free doughnuts for a year and will throw Dallas a birthday party every year until he’s an adult.
I do think that as we get more and more 'all on one die' solutions that are good enough, coupled with the AI upscaling technologies, everyone other than the extreme enthusiast or enterprise users won't need dgpus any more in a few years anyway.
I know it might not satisfy the highest of high end gamers but APUs are becoming more and more interesting these days for the more casual gamer. The steam deck already shows that they are viable options, and Apple silicon has massive potential if developers use Metal increasingly more. Even without it some games are running acceptably at least. I'm getting less interested personally in discrete GPUs as time goes on.
Probably gonna wait to see what the studio is like first but for the first time it might be that the mini is enough to meet my needs as well. I use a hack right now but aiming to keep that as a separate gaming pc as well
I dunno if you follow car stuff much. Chip shortage during COVID affected how many cars could be made. Manufacturers saved them for high margin high value cars. Already there is a smaller market for them. Plus, charging infrastructure in some countries is behind to the point where a lot of people are sticking to petrol. That's the wider picture.
On top of that VW made a really good EV platform and then screwed it up with a cheap interior, glitchy software, and frustrating laggy haptic buttons everywhere on cars that weren't exactly cheap. Why bother with that when you can get a Kia Niro (as an example) with more features, a massive warranty, more range, better interior for the same or less money?
Too bad many of the people in my generation who grew up with GTA games stopped caring since we're all middle aged now anyway.
Also the impact of a new rockstar game today is very different from what it was in the 2000s. There's so much to play now that waiting a year isn't that big a deal when you have a giant library of Steam games.
I'm my case it was an autism diagnosis but otherwise yes.
