Reminds me I should go back and finish it. Got side tracked years ago and never made my way back to it.

Same.

I just upgraded from my RTX 3080 to get away from Nvidia, and essentially had to go with the RX 9070XT because the Intel options don’t reach all the way up there.

On the flip side, my Emby media server runs a first generation Arc card, because again, wanting to avoid Nvidia at a reasonable price.

The existing products are good but don’t cover enough of the market to get the power users to switch, and they are the ones that make recommendations to everyone else.

FYI, this is one of the major reasons to use digital wallets. Like Apple Pay and Google Wallet. They don’t use your actual card info when paying, but a generated virtual card instead.

Likewise one of my accounts provides both a physical card and a separate virtual card, so that’s what I enter whenever making online purchases. Easier to cancel and reissue a virtual card if there is fraud.

If you’re fine paying $50-60 for what amounts to a community graphical overhaul mod that’s fine. I expect more from an actual developer with access to the source code.

A remaster should be releasing Oblivion with an updated engine and graphics, and bringing in some gameplay enhancements from newer games. Technically this meets those requirements, but only by the bare minimum and all of those can be achieved with community mods for free.

A remake would be completely abandoning the decrepit Gamebryo/Creation Engine that’s clearly dragging all of their games down now, and has been for over a decade, and actually giving us something that doesn’t feel like it came out 20+ years ago.

I love the Elder Scrolls, Oblivion is one of my favorite games of all time, and the only one I ever bothered to get every achievement for back on the 360. But I won’t accept a half assed remaster for nearly full price just because it’s what Bethesda wants to distract everyone from the fact that Elder Scrolls 6 isn’t coming out anytime soon and they couldn’t just release Skyrim for the 12th time.

Don’t accept paying for mediocre products just because you’re desperate for content.

More than a coat of paint. They didn’t actually port the game to Unreal 5, they just used it to make the graphics look better. The modding community could have done this years ago if that’s all they wanted to do. Skyblivion is more of a remaster than this official one.

With all of the resources of the original development and sources, I expect more than the modding community is capable of.

It’s not even much of a remaster. They just slapped a coat of paint on it.

The Gamebryo/Creation Engine is still there running the game, it just uses Unreal 5 for the graphical elements. And they updated some of the levelling to work more like Skyrim, because the Oblivion system sucked in comparison.

It’s still the same 20 year old Oblivion under the hood.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but calling it a remaster is a bit disingenuous.

No it’s not. There’s an absolute metric fuckton of evidence of Russian Disinformation and foreign Propaganda programs have targeted nearly all Western countries. Some more effectively than others.

Even if you choose to completely ignore the direct evidence of not only Russian leverage against high level politicians, but even full intelligence asset control, the fact that Russia has teams manipulating online conversations with fake information is a known fact with no basis for denial.

Unless you have no capability of critical thinking like the antivaxxers that is. But if that’s the case you have bigger problems like probably being one of the many idiots that fell for the obvious bullshit.

Note, I said previously signed NDA. They’re not going to send an NDA and test information at the same time.

But I guess most people don’t have experience with NDAs in the first place, especially not in relation to software testing.

I’m always amazed at some people’s stupidity.

The company isn’t going to randomly send you an invite to a beta that hasn’t been publicly announced. Any external testing at this point would be with people that have extensive experience, and have a previously signed NDA.

This specific thread is talking about transacting business and banking online. You should be more careful to keep your arguments separated. Otherwise you not only look like an idiot but you also prove you can’t multitask for shit.

Are you stupid enough to actually think the Internet is a closed system?

Instead you just have to trust that anything you’re doing is actually with who they claim to be. No encryption means no identity or security guarantee.

And notably, Japan does not have broad fair use copyright exceptions like the US. There are a very specific set of circumstances where it applies, and Generative AI for sure is not one of those.

Please may be useless. Thank you isn’t useless. That tells you that the prior response gave them the answer they were looking for. No response at all could mean that, or that they gave up, or any number of other things.

Why bother with that? That’s gonna be $1000 just for the box alone, and still lock me into the Synology ecosystem.

I can build a NAS with more capability for less than that. Like taking a Jonsbo NAS case and have the freedom to do whatever I want with it, with plenty of space to move everything else I’m running over to that as well. Even their N5 would likely be less expensive, and I’d have room for 12 HDDs and 4 SSDs then.

I had been considering upgrading, my current 4 bay Synology is physically full and running out of storage space. Moving that to a larger Synology box and adding drives would be easiest, basically plug and play.

But now instead I’ll probably just switch to a more traditional NAS instead. Run TrueNAS, or maybe give HexOS a look. If I’m going to have to convert from my current proprietary Synology filesystem anyway I might as well rebuild from scratch. As it is I’ve shifted all the services off the Synology and Docker to a dedicated Proxmox box.

I think they were saying the car software wouldn’t add artificial distances to short trips, where it’s more obvious. Not that the real world measurement is difficult or anything like that.

They’ll still further increase prices citing this as the reason to maximize profits further, knowing consumers don’t actually shop around much.

All these fast food places seem to have forgotten the place they sit in the economy. They’re now the cost of a regular restaurant in many places, and often take just as long now. They just happen to have a drive thru window, and even that’s not a guarantee for many of them anymore.

Why should I pay McDonald’s $15 for a burger meal when I can get the same thing at the same price from a better quality fast food place, or an actual restaurant burger for the same price?

The only reason people are still going there is because they haven’t looked around to realize that other businesses haven’t inflated their new prices under the guise of inflation the same way, and those other options are now a much better deal.

They just tell him what Putin would like to happen. No leverage necessary. Trump admires dictators, it’s clear he wants their approval.

Let’s get that full quoted sentence instead of the two worda out of context that let you post the link you wanted.

And if we look at nature in general, non-monogamous breeding across all species is the most common.

Didn’t even need the whole sentence, just the word before those… “Across all species”.
