Yes, you need more powerful GPU to run Deus Ex remaster, than to run... MANKIND DIVIDED!

20 years and six studios later, Bloodlines 2 gets 67 on Metacritic. The game is almost linear and tries to be a first person beat-em-up...

And yes, it runs like epilepsy even on PS5 Pro, falling into single digits FPS area during movement and combat.

LPDDR6 sounds very impressive and can boost average handhelds and iGPU devices to much higher performance.

Bots, who pass through the outer layer, are desperately looking for holes... only to try to submit into webform and fail on a simple honeypot.

Owning a website these days is a mess...

For context: in folders like new, cms, and old, they are trying to find files of updated or older versions. Site owners often forget to clear or set their permissions properly. So via these files they can get fairly impressive access to the server.

Linux meme time

How embarrassing was your day? OpenAI workers just tried to convince everyone that ChatGPT solved complex math problems.

The reality is: ChatGPT failed to get updated data on which problems are solved and which aren't. And it took it several tries to give the correct answer.

Earlier this year I played an old game on Steam for the first time in 12 years. My cloud save files were still there! 😭

Make your guess: what SSD is that?

So, what was it?

Samsung EVO 860, running in RAPID Mode, which means the controller can read and write files in RAM, then land them on SSD when needed.

It speeds up the OS and apps in general, and helps the system to avoid stuttering from heavy drive usage (which Windows 10 and 11 are known for).

But it also introduces instabilities: your files and apps are now relying on RAM not once, but TWICE. And RAM isn't very reliable, unless ECC. So, your drives will way more often get a little bit messy files to work with. For many users it brings BSODs, freezes, and other instabilities.

And anyway: unless you're on an old HDD, the drive is probably your last concern these days.
