Wait, why aren't parents teaching their kids these things? I've taught my grade school kids empathy already, we're still working on time management, and we continue to work on social etiquette and emotional intelligence. People can have a natural understanding of these things but that won't be...

Why isn't DOGE tearing this up, too?

I'm with you there! I typically don't code many tools at work because I know it would take me too long. AI tools have helped me accomplish the same goals in 30 minutes or less. I'm no longer reading how to use different modules, APIs, or others for several days. It's been a wonderful tool...

I couldn't agree more. Our kids are our responsibilities, not anyone else's. It's our jobs as parents is to make informed decisions and ultimately manage our kids online interactions by controlling what they can and can't do online. I'd heard enough horror stories about the seedier side of...

I already switched to Tidal, where the family plan is cheaper, the quality is already better, and they pay out a lot more to the artists when you stream...

Man, this is great! Your frame rate can tank because you don't have enough VRAM, or it can tank because you're using a compression algorithm to make the current scene fit into your available VRAM. Maybe they can find a way to get the frame rate back up while still doing the compression, but I...

As a reminder to those folks who would say that, you can always switch to Linux for "free." But I suppose that could put those folks in their own damned it they do, damned if they don't situation. haha

Haha, well said at the end. Seems like malicious intent is often assumed, when anyone that has worked in software could share that these things happen all the time. Not every Engineer is going to be able to predict how their fix will affect other systems. Fairly often they're going to make a...

Wait, I thought Techspot was a shill for AMD, isn't that what others have complained about in the past? haha. In all seriousness, couldn't these things just be considered an error on the part of the author and editor? Why does it have to portray some kind of bias?

Check out the GDC presentation by Jeff Vogel of Spiderweb Software on YouTube. He gives a brief history of his company and covers how the 30% Steam fee actually saved his company money.

This will be really interesting. I think most games on Steam follow industry standard pricing; I'm not sure how that hurts consumers like the lawsuit suggests. Also, I'm most curious to see what evidence they have to suggest that Steam has a monopoly on the market. There are a lot of...
