are there people who dont know that flowers turn into seeds (which in the case of fruit, the fruit itself contains the seeds)

i can attest to this, not for myself, but for people at my workplace.

i was hired directly, but a majority of my coworkers were hired here because of temp > permanent hiring. small warehouse job.

you basically need entire demographics to move from looking at news for games and using a giant catalogue and discusing among said catalog, which is difficult.

to bring up an example, if you watch anime. changing that is equivalent from changing which anime you watch that streaming services/people recommend on discussion, to pulling up the seasonal anime chart, and picking anime solely by its short description.

not exactly the situation, as its more like, there are boots that are 100 that last 5 years, you can buy boots that cost 30 and last 1 year, but the market has used 5 year boots that is on its 3rd year for 30, but one still opted to buy the 30/1 boot.

a tech situation irl is cars.

you can buy expensive 70k new car. you can buy affordable 20k new car. but youre also forgetting that you can buy used older 70k car for a lot less. the 20k car is not by default, better than the older car.

200$, even by 2016 standards was not remotely high end. so you couldnt even use it as price.

when the AMD card was on the tier of performace of the 1060, and if THAT is considered “high end” then what is the 70 class gpus. what is the 80 class gpus. what is the titan levels.

when you have 3 distinct tiers above you not even including any possible super or Ti varients of sort, how could you remotely consider it “high end” when you yourself say the 1060 is mid tier.

at a price and performance, the 480/580 is not high end back when it launched, and definitely not high end anytime soon, hence 8gb isnt “high end” in 2026 unless someone has a very short list of gpus they are willing to use. I specifically use the 580 as an example because its actively still being used in poorer regions as the budget card, that actively has 8gb.

not for amd on random generations.

polaris launched at 200$, and that was their top end gou because they forgone higher end models that generation, and opted for targeting the mainstream market. the 580 was just a refresh of it that allocated more of that stock to 8gb models. it was the best selling amd gpu (by far) because they made a lot of them to essentially flood the market.

if youre judging high end by name and by market segment, you have already fell into marketing, as names are completely arbitrary.

to be fair, budget 8gb gpus have been a thing since the RX 480 (2016). if somone has less nowadays, id reckon its refusal to buy used, or refusal to buy something thats not nvidias sub 200$ market.

while yes, there of course are poorer regions. but even regions like brazil who have a ridiculous import tax on tech, still regularly stock the rx 580 as a “budget” gpu option.

if you go low enough, the user might as well have an igpu, which does not have the same vram limitations discrete cards have.

you also have the benefit that having chargers at work would be a positive workplace benefit as not needing to pay for “gas” adds up over time.

the averge person spends most of their time during daytime away from home, so its far less practical to have solar at home.

i mean Nyotaimori is already an existing thing

febuary is the odd month in steam hardware year because theres usually a heavy spike of chinese pc gamers playing in cafes due to free time from CNY, so whatever is in those cafe pcs are over represented in the statistics for febuary

a bootleg copy of windows XP to downgrade from vista on a weak laptop

reminder that South korea has been doing this shit with KSSN for games. anybody thinking IDs would stip kids is kidding themselves.

the person didn’t ask for qualcomm/mediatek/nvidia/endless based arm chips, he specifically asked for the new macbook(implied neo) running linux soon because the term “it” was used to refer to it. Arm can already run linux, which would be redundant question to ask.

given the pace of asahi Linux on m series macbooks youre going to be waiting for a few years

im aware of certain companies as well behind the scenes doubling down on ai workload very recently as well, so China definitely isnt alone on that front.

it suited japan better because japan doesn’t remotely have the capacity to be making batteries. something china has a huge grapple on. It’s governement when to push its basic hydrogen strategy and it keeps pushing for it if you read japanese headlines.

Toyota, Nissan and Honda literally are in consortium for hydrogen mobility

japan has this problem as all of its automobile companies decided to invest down the path of hydrogen (as it fit their home country/interests better) over the rest of the worlds EVs. because of it, japanese fully EVs tend to be kind of lackluster, because theyre usually second thought.

thats like trying to swallow an entire hotdog. you dont “accidently” swallow that in a meal unless you were eating in a stupid way (looking up and dropping food down your throat like youre swallowing swords)

iirc the whale mating situation that people witnessed a few years ago is the same thing. sometimes its just 2 horny dudes getting off.

while I wouldnt consider it on the same tier as like nola/creole/cajun cuisine for example, but its distinctive enough to get a name.
