I think this is a net positive for sure. Two manufacturers competing to be the most affordable can only mean lower prices overall!

Here's a link to the Tom's Hardware post about AMD's new GPU strategy, cited in the GN video.

Some thoughts after watching this part of the video:

  • Sounds like AMD is hitting the point where AMD cards are a complete afterthought for devs, because NVIDIA has both dominant market share and the best performance by all metrics except price. But devs don't care about what consumers are paying for cards, they only care about developing for the card that most users have. And so, AMD is giving up on the top-end to focus on clawing back market share in the mid and entry level where NVIDIA doesn't compete as hard.
  • AMD is essentially swapping rivals, from NVIDIA to Intel, as Intel is targeting the same market that AMD is pivoting to. It'll be interesting to see how that shakes out.
  • NVIDIA will essentially have a monopoly on the top-end GPU market. I am not looking forward to that.

EDIT: I'm noticing on my Sync app for android that the bulleted list doesn't seem to be working right, although the bullets are working correctly on desktop. Just wanted to point that out for mobile only users - this is supposed to be a bulleted list!

Paprika is great, but it kills me that there is no landscape mode. I go to prop my phone up on the popsocket, which naturally puts the phone in landscape, but Paprika stubbornly stays in portrait 😑

I'm slightly suspicious of this article coming from Times of Israel, tho i'm not sure how sharing this serves Israeli interests

From the article:

the role of monarch is not hereditary: The successor is determined by tribal representatives from across the nation.

The ceremonies took place in TÅ«rangawaewae Marae on the North Island, which is the seat of the Maori King movement.

The political institution developed in the 1850s, when Maori tribes decided to unify under a single sovereign in the face of an influx of British settlers and demand for their land, as well as broader political marginalization.

Today the role of the Maori monarch is largely symbolic. As a former British colony and current member of the British Commonwealth, New Zealand’s official monarch is King Charles.

So I don't think this is monarchy in the way that you are thinking. The "Maori Monarch" is more of a political leader than anything, so in a US context, it's kind of like the NAACP selecting a new president.

Pushback is not the same thing as an attack! I think we tend to get the two mixed up when talking to strangers online.

I think Beehaw's a pretty kind place in my experience?
