  • ChatGPT 'got absolutely wrecked' by Atari 2600 in beginner's chess match — OpenAI's newest model bamboozled by 1970s logic

    Jump

  • I’m not saying it’s good at coding, I’m saying it’s specifically advertised as being very good at it.

    Jump

  • People write code with LLMs. Programming language is just a language specialised at precise logic. That’s what „AI” is advertised to be good at. How can you do that an not the other?

  • Switch 2 docked output

    Jump

  • It’s unclear to me if HDMI 2.1 is supported at all because there’s no VRR while docked according to specs. I connected mine to 2.0 port and it says it’s capable of 120 Hz at 1080/1440p. I doubt 120 Hz with HDR would require HDMI 2.1 bandwidth since 2.0b can do 4K60 with HDR.

  • Digital triggers make most racing games suck. Could be intentional to sell more Mario Kart now that I think about it. Nintendo are business geniuses.

  • Relive the days of unhinged GPU box artwork — new book catalogs 300 retail boxes with both horrors and delights

    Jump

  • There’s less pictures there and it’s sold out. I tend not to link to storefronts too because I’m not a salesman.

    Jump

  • I checked with Tetris 99 forums and they say the d-pad is good. I cried all the way to the store and back because that’s basically two Xbox controllers in price but I can confirm that this controller is really really good. Still feel scammed about digital triggers but at least I can power up my console from the couch.

  • How is the d-pad on the new Pro controller?

    I just connected old Pro controller and not only does it not wake Switch 2 from sleep, I was reminded very quickly how ridiculously bad the d-pad is on that thing. Given how expensive Pro 2 controller is, especially compared to 8bitdo Ultimate, that d-pad better be Gameboy-level accurate.

    In other controller related findings my very old 8bitdo SN30 Pro+ doesn’t connect and there’s no firmware update (there is one for new models though). For now I’m using Mayflash X adapter with Dual Shock 4 but I’m being driven mad by the location of USB ports on Switch docks and how bad that dongle looks.

  • Digital Foundry: Yes, It's Faster: Switch 2 Back Compat vs Batman Arkham Knight + the Witcher 3

    Jump

  • What’s nice is that games with dynamic resolution scaling look better even if they didn’t have performance issues on Switch 1.

  • Nintendo Switch 2 Full Setup Walkthrough Video Leaks, Shows Real Console and Menus Before Launch

    Jump

  • Weren’t the reviews delayed because there’s supposed to be a huge software update that changes things so much that this isn’t representative of anything you’ll get to use? Supposedly. This will be a curiosity for retro enthusiasts 20 years down the line.

  • Apple's USB-C transition is a confusing mess (and that might be on purpose)

    Jump

  • If you make money on YouTube you can afford iPhone Pro probably. You probably already have one for shooting quality video because what else is there at this budget?

  • Apple's USB-C transition is a confusing mess (and that might be on purpose)

    Jump

  • Going by number of features isn’t really a way to tell what’s premium. For me the bar is set really low which is not having ads, which most budget Android phones fail at.

  • Apple's USB-C transition is a confusing mess (and that might be on purpose)

    Jump

  • They've just done this to create artificial value for the "Pro" models.

    Correct. They found out professionals have money to afford premium hardware and software so you can charge them that. Perfectly reasonable way to make money, little competition in that space as opposed to general purpose budget stuff.

    Jump

  • I rarely take 128GB worth of photos at once so background iCloud sync is fast enough so that when I take a photo on my phone it’s visible on my Mac a minute or so after that.

  • Apple's USB-C transition is a confusing mess (and that might be on purpose)

    Jump

  • I’m sure we’ll find much evidence for hobbyists on Lemmy having different use cases from the general public but Apple wasn’t ever interested in supporting that niche at budget prices because there’s little money to be made there.

    Regular person doesn’t need much offline storage because they download apps from the App Store, listen to music from a streaming service and sync photos to iCloud or Google Photos. Those people probably shouldn’t store their data offline either way because they won’t back it up properly. It’s another case of Apple treating general public like incompetent grannies but they’re kind of right about that.

    Jump

  • They let iCloud do the thing. Their computers don’t have that much storage.
