Jim Whitehurst? The guy who sold Red Hat to IBM? Cool, cool, cool. Cool.

I guess launching this next year ahead of the rumoured Switch 2 launch would make sense to steal some of Nintendo’s potential market share.

I bet the Switch 2’s SoC will include a GPU based on Ampere or newer, which means RTX 3000 series capabilities which. Nvidia Tegra Orin from 2019 already included that much.

Of course it will be very likely more limited than even a 3060 mobile chip, but it could include both RT and DLSS 3.5 if they wanted to. I doubt they use RT but DLSS would make a lot of sense.

I mean the Xbox Series S will be a 4 year old non-high-end console by the time the Switch 2 will be released. I can definitely see them go in that direction.

Maybe it will have more RAM, but it will most likely have slower/cheaper RAM. LPDDR5 or LPDDR5X instead of GDDR6. Should also be more power efficient.

I just wonder whether they want to use DLSS for more FPS on the handheld or whether it’s simply their future way to upscale from the native handheld resolution to 4K when docked.

Surely DLSS would be very taxing on the battery life, but it would be great to improve the docked experience which is often rather bad (stuttering, etc.) with the old Switch.

Either you innovate or you pay that company $32M every summer forever

The subscription also includes free games, though

So privacy first first and privacy last second, interesting combo

Sunwise, as it was based on the movement of the sun during day (in the Northern hemisphere). As watch faces were modelled after sundials, sunwise and clockwise describe the same direction.

Turnwise is a word invented by Pratchett for a book, but it’s clearly based on sunwise. He also used widdershins in his book, which is indeed the unmodified antonym to sunwise.

Sir, this is the US

I was talking about the traditional way of eating it and that’s with cow milk. I specified it precisely because I’m making a contrasting recommendation later on.

Not sure what toasted means exactly in this context, but I guess traditionally we have non-toasted Muesli.

But nowadays we have many variations, some that would probably be more to your tasting (with corn flakes and crisp clusters) and some (even) less so.

Coming from the Land of Muesli, it’s really quite simple and it’s really the same way we eat any cereal over here:

• put Muesli in a small bowl
• add fresh (ideally cold) cow milk
• eat it all with a spoon (quickly, before it loses most texture and becomes a soggy pulp / porridge-like)

If you like it a bit sweeter, mix a fruit yoghurt into it. Personally, I add the yoghurt after the Muesli and stir/mix it a bit before adding the milk.

Of course you can also add fresh sweet fruits (bananas, apples, strawberries, peaches, etc.) cut into slices/cubes.

If you prefer vegan milk alternatives, oat milk works great. Honestly, I think a good oat milk complements the Muesli (which usually contains oats) better than cow milk and I would suggest everyone try it.

You know that you don’t have to replace every single component in your PC every time you upgrade something, right?

And no, 500 GB (SSD) was the low end fairly recently. Heck, it’s still fair enough nowadays, I have a half-empty 1 TB drive and could easily bring that down to 350-400 GB.

What does the performance of a computer have to do with the size of its disk?

They actually sent the matching card together with the prototype but apparently LTT lost the card and just decided to use another, incompatible one.

Will Google really manage to make it impossible to root your phone?

Google has managed this years ago, but it’s optional. There was a fairly short timeframe when most phone makers enforced it, but now most allow power users to disable the security and root their phones. But usually they will disable some security-sensitive features like Samsung Knox. And many security-sensitive apps like banking apps will not let you run them anymore (if yours does, great for you, but that also means your bank’s security is shit, just FYI).

But you just explained it yourself. Currently there >1 humanoid species on planet “Middle Earth”, but over time there will likely only be 1 for one reason or another (diseases, dominant races doing the good old genocide, etc.)

So either the Enterprise / Federation hasn’t found the planet yet (and it will become the first planet with this many humanoid species on it) or LOTR and ENT simply don’t play at the same time.
