  2. Except for CPU bit (8, 16, 32, 64) there has never been ANY notion of "PC gaming generations" -- at least in the last 35 years. ... and you can bet your dollars that Intel (and arguably Nvidia and AMD) are preparing their marketing efforts towards an AI-powered gaming generation, to borrow your image. As for the gaming console wars (which has been continuously raging for 35+ years), it's a niche war that will continue no matter the naysayers over the years -- and there have been plenty! "The last gaming console you'll ever buy" was part of the marketing buzz since the Xbox 360 (+ Kinect bundle) nearly 20 years ago!! You can bet your top dollar that high-end consoles and peripherals will be making a major comeback in the next 3-5 years (perhaps "skipping" the impending generational release this year) with AR/VR-based FPS and RPGs. Games like Metal Gear Solid in an AR/VR environment with surround-sound would be a best-seller... if only gaming engines evolved more to support AAAA-caliber frame rates on headset hardware specs. That'll launch another generational change: whichever AR/VR headset-compatible console AND "NEURAL" GRAPHICS ENGINES can get top-tier release will become king for a new era. (Mark my words...)

  9. Yesterday
  10. There are far more pressing things to clean up over the next 4 years than revert this back. InB4 craigslist puts personals back lol
  11. If they don't have anything to talk about then why spend the money on it? They gave us their roadmap for this year, I expect it to be back next year.
  12. I was speaking about console generations as far as compatibility goes. There is no more "generation" like before where each one had a clear split from the others. It's all the same going forward, like with PC gaming. There's no notion of PC gaming generations for example.
  13. That a **t load of users. I for once use it more than Twitter these days. Lots of the content I actually want to follow such as artists, music etc. The only reason I still open the Twitter app once a week is because of some companies that I follow for customer support etc are still there and some devs.
  14. Mojang adds extra render distance, new social hub, and more to Minecraft Realms Plus by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Realms Plus server hosting subscription service that Mojang offers for Minecraft: Bedrock Edition just added three more perks for members to enjoy. The service already offers 11-player servers to enjoy with friends, cross-platform play, and a monthly selection of Marketplace content. Now, a hub for keeping track of everyone's adventures, a render distance upgrade, and more bonus items are here too. Dubbed Realm Stories, the social hub's main feed offers a place for all players to share screenshots from the server, discuss activities, and even show off major events like diamond mining, finding mineshafts, and defeating the Ender Dragon for everyone to see. Next, the Timeline tab offers a quick look at when each player is usually online in a given day, making it easier to host larger play sessions with more members. Third and final tab of Realm Stories, Members, is the fastest way to find who is online currently, their membership status on the Minecraft server, and even sort by most recent online players. iOS and Android players will have to wait a little while longer to get this Realm Stories feature though, as it's still in development for the mobile platforms. Mojang is also enabling Realms Plus server holders to have better render distances in their worlds. "All servers now have eight extra chunks render distance, which means you can spot danger, opportunity, or an escape route from further away – 20 chunks to be exact," says the announcement today. Keep in mind that despite the server providing the data, the visible distance can still vary due to the platform each player is using. The final feature being added to Realms Plus is access to new Character Creator items. Much like Marketplace items, these will drop each month for membership holders, and once claimed, they can be used forever. "Whether you want to match that ice cream fort of yours, intimidate the inhabitants of a new survival spawn, or blend in with your surroundings – your wardrobe collection is about to grow," Mojang adds. Minecraft Realms Plus for Bedrock Edition costs $7.99 per month for its server hosting services plus the brand-new additions announced today. Mojang also offers a $3.99 per month standard Realms subscription that offers servers with three player slots, but lacks other perks.
  15. I agree with you on the first part, but completely disagree with you on the second. Anyone CAN in fact do any of those things (at least here in the US). Whether or not they are successful at it is another point entirely. Net Neutrality also makes sure that those startups have access to the Internet in the same fashion as the originals did.
  16. You can’t function in society today without Internet. It has become an essential service. It needs protecting.
  17. The interface is easy but totally different to Windows and there is an app called Software or Ubuntu Software (not sure now) that contains most of the programs you want, it's like the Microsoft store or Mac App Store.
  18. Latest Non-LTS to LTS upgrade is offered right away whereas LTS to LTS upgrade is offered later when Ubuntu 24.04.1 comes out around August when more bugs are fixed.
  19. I'm going to give Ubuntu a shot again, 20 years after I first tried it. However the article here really goes into some VERY technical mumbo-jumbo that even as a fairly tech savi user, I have no idea about. I think I'm glad Ubuntu is a bit rusty, and that you can nest KVM in ppc64el, and of course that we can profile CPU's without the fear of retribution. Actually, no, I don't care about that. Is the interface easy to navigate? Does it have an easy way to install programs without using the command line or having to install several dependencies before it works? Does it run well and remove barriers that Linux traditionally has had for standard users?
  20. Poor little microsoft, no wonder they're doing everything they can to squeeze more cash out of Windows with adware around every corner, this is clearly not enough income...
  21. You defined/argued for a console generation in the sentence as you declared them a dead practice.
  22. Seems like early adopter issues. I would always give a new release a few months to iron out the major bugs.
  23. You will be prompted to upgrade (unless you turned off OS update notifications) in a couple of days (could be longer) after release.
