Ive always been a PC gamer. I dont really know why except that my parents wouldnt buy me consoles because they think I would play too much :whistle: LOL the pc is worst I can play whenever I want (laptop :devil: ) :cool:

I'm a pc gamer because, even if I'd have a console, I would have a pc also...

And ya both have there pro's and cro's

The only time a console is better than A pc is for mutliplayer games for people sitting next to each other. I don't really understand why no-one has made a PC with multiple controller ports.

Thats a fair point... But if you have a sexy graphics card like a ATI 9000 series or a lovely Nvidia FX series.. then the graphics are super smooth. However saying that, you do need a hell of a lot of DDR RAM to play some games. I cranked up Doom3 to Ultra Quality and it was eating 500 Megs of RAM :D

PC.

I used to be a dedicated gamer, but to tell you the truth, I played nothing whole last year (my comp is old and I cant upgrade yet...).

Even though consoles have some flaws (like controller, if youre a FPS player, you'll hate it, that is, if you played them like they should be played, with mouse/keyboard first), the idea of upgrading every 4-5 years is much better than upgrading every three months... Then again, when consoles hit the middle-life cycle, the graphics are far behind a well optimized gaming PC.

I use PC and Console for all my gaming needs. Sometimes consoles get games first, sometimes PCs do.

OK, so PCs have much better graphics (providing you have a good graphics card [6800GT w00t!]) but consoles are fun when you just have a few mates over to watch movies and play games and hang out etc.

    • 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.
