Wasn’t he one of Obama’s bodyguard or something like that?

My OS takes up about 25gb. I have individual games that take up more than 100gb. That kind of OS/storage split is necessary nowadays.

Moving from a 5600X to a 7900X3D, pretty big upgrade.

If you don’t actually offer content you have the copyright for them you shouldn’t be allowed to prevent people from distributing it as abandonware.

That’s what I’m replying to. You have the copyright for everything you create. If you don’t put it up for sale, they’re saying everyone should be allowed to distribute it. That’s kind of fucked.

The current copyright system is absurd, but protecting an artist’s work in the short term is what copyright was meant for originally. 70 years post death is way beyond ridiculous, but something like 5 years from conception makes sense. That way a creator gets a short period to profit off their work while it’s protected, and then it would enter public domain and anyone could do as they wish with it.

Unfortunately it would still allow a situation where someone presents a screenplay to a studio, and gets turned down, and then 5 years later the studio makes a movie from that screenplay and makes a billion dollars without the creator getting anything from it. That’s what copyright is meant to prevent, but it has definitely gotten twisted and corrupted over the years, mostly thanks to Disney.

So literally every doodle you make and anything you write must be available for purchase? Because you have a copyright on ALL that stuff. Copyrights are automatic.

Your diary? Copyrighted.
Your margin scribbles while you’re on the phone? Copyrighted.
That furry midget hentai that you draw for your own “entertainment”? Well, you get the point.

Granted, the copyright system is fucked, but some of the rules exist for good reason, and forcing everyone to release their copyrights if they won’t sell their art is ridiculous. I will certainly agree that the copyright/trademark systems badly need an overhaul.

I don’t have anything important to back up, I would just like to avoid reinstalling everything, particularly my Steam library.

If I can save myself the trouble, that’s all I want. I know Windows doesn’t like that kind of upgrades and you end up with a ton of useless drivers sitting around for nothing, but I haven’t been on Windows in a couple years.

Does it also have the power-limiting features?

25 years ago, 9/11 wasn’t a big deal.

FromSoft, you can make anything you want and I’ll probably buy it, just stop putting jumping puzzles in your games, at least until you figure out good jumping mechanics first.

She knows that if anyone wants to get to her, they have to go through you, and the bigger you are, the harder it is.

They’re not trying to destroy your thesis, they’re trying to make sure it’s complete and sccurate. In theory, the only person who knows the material is you, so they can’t just ask anyone else.

I never really understood why they call it a defense. Nobody’s going in there trying to insult or fight it.

That guy looks like the weekly bad guy on a episode of Starsky and Hutch from the 70’s

You’re not wrong, but that’s also just a persona he plays, the hair and mustache are both fake. I don’t know how close the persona is to the real person, but I’m sure he’s hamming it up to some extent, just not enough to be a good person pretending.

Simple explanation, the higher the bitrate, the more data is dedicated to each frame to be displayed, so the higher the quality of each frame assuming the same resolution. This means fewer artifacts/less blocking, less color banding, etc.

Lower bitrate is the opposite, basically. The video is more compressed, and in the process it throws out as much information as possible while trying to maintain acceptable quality. The lower the bitrate, the more information is thrown out for the sake of a smaller filesize.

Resolution is the biggest factor that affects picture quality at the same bitrate. A 1080p video has a quarter of the resolution of a 2160p video, so it takes much less data to maintain a high quality picture.

I’m into thicc Earth conspiracies

ECC is meant for systems that can’t afford a single faiure, but standard memory is definitely meant to be entirely reliable as long as it doesn’t fail.

I know that sounds like a dumb statement, but when memory fails, it’s never a single occurrence. Anyone who has ever done memory tests on failing memory knows that either it’s 100% functional or complete garbage. If your memory is less than 100% accurate, the results are obvious. You’ll never run a memory test and see only one error at the end.

The -W and -H are the resolution you want to display at, so you want those to be your monitor’s native resolution. They default to 1280 x 720 if you don’t specify.

The -w and -h specify what resolution to render at, and are only really useful if using DLSS or FSR for scaling. Skip them if you’re not using that.

I believe the correct term is Voltroning

Yes

Their phone had a crack in it, so obviously the screenshot does too.
