They bought some company making home security cameras/baby monitors and they then marketed them as really secured and some local-only. You could access any of the cameras feeds from anywhere without authentication  Not sure if that was ever fixed aside from removing claims from the Anker website?

Even by "all IoT poo poo is spying on you" standards it was comically blatant.

They have implemented changes. The result that I can tell is that the cameras are super poo poo at detecting people now and the app got a lot less responsive. That could also be purposefully making the 2nd gen stuff shittier so you move to the latest poo poo, and none of their stuff is compatible between generations, which is a pretty big gently caress you. They also never implemented literally anything they promised they would for homebase 2 stuff, which definitely won't happen now that homebase 3 is out. Eufy product claims are lucy pulling the football at this point. I'm moving to a completely local system, maybe one of the ones that operate on "standards" so I'm not vendor locked any more.

Multiple people from sales to engineers told me in person at CES a few years ago that those features were definitely coming definitely in a few months and then nothing.

beep by grandpa posted:Since floatplane prices are a set subscription and people were posting earlier their sub counts, could this being 4% of the chart be used to somewhat ballpark how much money they made in 2021? It would be a bit off, as there are different tiers, even 2 years ago, of "original" accounts that were at a lower price, then the 5 dollar ones. The 10 dollar one I think only went up in the past few months. That said, in theory, if you can find a sub number for end of 2021 (a guess as to when they based the chart off of, rather than fiscal year, because, well Linus), it could get you close.

HUB will probably do one when they have the game but GN haven’t done a game specific benchmark since Cyberpunk.

Has there even been a meaningful release that was both popular and graphically intensive since cyberpunk? Feels like all we had was a bunch of forgettable also-rans like forspoken. Not at all surprised that GN haven't bothered.

One thing that confused me about GNs benchmarking video is that they're treating first-runs as aberrant data. So far as I know, the procedure for benchmarking computers always involves reboots inbetween each run, because this ensures you're not getting caught up in any weird caching behaviour. I'd love if they went more into their reasoning behind this, at some point. Rinkles posted:it's the first game in a while that feels like it deserves it. very demanding and very popular title.

I think it's reasonable to throw out the first run ensuring the caches are warmed up because that is largely going to be the experience of someone playing a game. They not testing CPUs and GPUs in the abstract, they're testing them for suitability/value in playing 3D accelerated games and to a smaller extent productivity tasks like decompression and 3D rendering.

Does GN watercool/AiO their testbench systems? I could see that being a good reason to toss out first results, as the loop hasn't gotten up to temp yet.

the example of throwing out the first result involved a game that performed better your first session compared to subsequent runs. it's a weird setup of the game engine not a hardware or methodological flaw

Again rebooting many times an hour is not a quality of normal computer use and it wouldn't be representative to test that way.

Sure, no argument on that, but that's a benchmark the studio should be doing, since it means they hosed up somewhere. There's no point in running a test as a part of a review in a way that not only will statistically zero end users ever do, it's the exact opposite of what they'll do.

Does high-end benchmarking even have any real-world purpose anymore? Especially with things like DLSS? "The 3090ti at 1440p upscaled to 4k with DLSS set to High quality with ray tracing enabled achieves an average 161 fps. In comparison, the vastly superior 4090 achieves 1440p upscaled to 4k with DLSS set to Ultra quality with ray tracing enabled achieved an average 168 fps."
