poty posted:its attractive to me. you can play pc games and you dont need to buy a pc that costs 1500 bucks or whatever and is big ugly loud and uses a ton of power what? $500 would get you a pc that eats almost no power and can play all of your games at 1080p@60. Then you get to keep your games, don’t suffer from lag, and can use a proper keyboard and mouse.

My pc uses less than a light bulb when idle and like a watt in sleep so that it updates itself when I am asleep

i guess the market for stadia is "people who haven't bought a pc since 2002, who want to play the latest games @ 1080p"

and if this is an enviromental thing, those xeons and old amd cards that will run your game in the google datacenter will drain quite a bit more power, added to the power required to transmit your data

there was an article about the new Android air drop feature and I was like wait I remember doing that in 2012? you just tap your phones together and the NFC detects it. it was even more convenient than air drop. quote:Its NFC- based take on the feature was discontinued in Android 10

The last thing we need is to burn more carbon to power a xeon and gpu that were not designed and are ancient to run video games in today's environmental catastrophe, the "it won't heat my apartment in summer" is quite the outsourcing of your environmental waste off to someone else.

Plus, depending on where the DC is located it is more likely to be running off clean energy and cooling.

~Coxy posted:if we're really going to split infinitesimals about it then it's better to run the game in the DC where the power delivery and cooling is much more efficient, and the machine can have a higher utilisation. no its not because those machines are using far more power than normal as they are running a windows to linux port that runs bad, on top of the network costs of taking the data to the customer, which are not minimal. Spotfy ran a study on this which details the non trivial electric costs of transporting their music around, its somewhere in the grey stadia thread. Most datacenters except for a rare few run off dirty energies too, I don't understand why people want this technology so much. If you really want it, there is better ones like psnow and xcloud, which actually gives you access to a bunch of games without having to buy them and funding a company that fires people that try to unionize or harvest your data.

I still remember the day that my RSS feeds were flooded with dumb employee posts (I was really into GNOME back then before idiots killed it with v3) full of excitement about "Project Hula". And also this one, making GBS threads all over it ... which seems to have acquired a new foreword a little while ago.

quote:"Groupware" is all about things like "workflow", which means, "the chairman of the committee has emailed me this checklist, and I'm done with item 3, so I want to check off item 3, so this document must be sent back to my supervisor to approve the fact that item 3 is changing from `unchecked' to `checked', and once he does that, it can be directed back to committee for review."

this is such a silicon valley brogrammer quote meanwhile in the real world poo poo needs to be planned, reviewed, approved, reviewed again, implemented, tested, audited, reviewed once more, audited another time, etc... i'd love to work in a company with no workflow though. i am sure i will get 0% work done until i get fired but gently caress putting effort lol
