I would think most consumer drives will be OK with that, but it varies, and the race to make things ever cheaper has only increased that. AFAIK, the more data they try to pack into a cell (SLC/MLC/TLC/QLC), the more likely they are to be affected by unpowered data loss.

What kind of storage do they use? Because SSDs left unpowered will lose data.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a load of bots because Netflix spent the GDP of a small country on it.

If they even try that it will look like that car chase scene from The Blues Brothers.

I don’t know but it’s too hot for me and too cold for the wife. A perfect compromise.

Full raytracing (path tracing) might be.

I think they can do it for very basic looking games like Quake 2.

That said, I doubt you’d actually need full RT for visuals like Toy Story 1. Or indeed on most things.

They got pretty good at faking most of it. RT can basically just be used for reflections, shadows and global illumination and most of us wouldn’t notice the difference.

How quickly we forget Foxy Brown.

Ultraviolet is absolutely fucking terrible.

2000 ish, apparently.

The rules will really change when the first billionaire on a private jet gets taken out by a DIY suicide drone.

Nah, he just purchased the world’s biggest megaphone from which he could propel his ketamine fuelled opinions into the deep uncaring void of the internet.

The half price games on various platforms (“Platinum” on playstation, can’t remember what they were called in other platforms) were great and made me get into consoles.

Feels like the PS4 gen when that stopped happening. Shame, because it’s not like you can magic your customers into having more money to spend. They’ll just buy fewer games.

Watch The Disaster Artist instead.

Man, that demo that cut out shortly before the first RTS section was pure fucking bait and switch. Maybe even more so than Metal Gear Solid 2.

Listen pal, I was fine with invading Czechoslovakia, Poland, Denmark and the Netherlands, but I draw the line at France!

I know someone who is pretty good at chess but also thinks vaccines are fake, Musk is a genius, and Ukraine belongs to Russia.

So not all chess players are smart.

We DoN’t NeEd VaCcInEs We’Ve GoT aSbEsToS!

Fake Fediverse is fake.

Fuck Turkey and fuck however they want it spelt.

“Delete all IP law” say people who have never created anything of any value to humanity.

I wasn’t expecting traditional horror, but I was expecting at least a traditional movie instead of like an hour and a half of the tops of doors with some grunting.

I’ve trawled many streaming services looking for horror, and I’ve watched some of the worst drivel imaginable in the far depths of Amazon Prime, but at least they were all still movies. This is more an arthouse thing.
