That's a fallacy. My Radeon 9600SE is three generations ago (now that the next round is about to launch), and it still runs Doom III, HL2, and anything else I throw at it. The only thing I've had to upgrade in three years has been a larger harddrive.

Here's my specs:

Compaq Presario 6400NX ($400, best buy) 1.5 ghz AMD Althon, 512 mb ram,

120GB Maxtor HD ($60, Craig's List)

Radeon 9600SE ($80, Microcenter)

M-Audio Audiophile 2496 Sound card (Free, since it came out of my last system).

Monitor is from work, some old IBM CRT.

Not the latest and greatest by any means. One more year, then I strip out the parts and move to another, juicier compaq. Now, to stay on the bleeding edge, true, you do need some cash, but to just play games, any halfway decent system will do.

So, let's test the logic here. I buy a $400 computer, upgrade it over time, and end up $540 down, and able to play any PC game available, surf the web, do work, etc.

I buy and Xbox, $180 right now, but two years ago? It came out at $250, right? What's the projected price for the Xbox2? Let's say $250. So to stay current, it's the same outlay over four years, plus a forced upgrade to a new console, and you need Xbox live to go online.

What's a better deal here?

GET PS2, if you can't get a PS2 get A PC. All other consoles suck like mad!

    • When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!
    • Same, never saw it on Android or iOS. Guess only some people got it *shrugs*
    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
