Did they ever issue a recall? Crazy that the issue has persisted this long.

Brkdncr,

No recall needed. Bios update to fix the issue. If your cpu popped already then warranty it.

billbasher,

So a recall is probably the correct thing to do. Logistically and financially it would be a friggin nightmare

Not to mention they denied it was an issue for like a year and a half

gravitas_deficiency,

…after knowing for damn sure it was a serious issue in two successive process generations.

There is no way this happened without a LOT of people knowing EXACTLY what was happening, and covering it up. The DoJ should really kick off an investigation into the situation, because it’s pretty obvious there was malfeasance at multiple levels. That, or their leadership and QC processes are both so categorically inept that one could argue the company should be straight up nationalized as a critical strategic asset.

QubaXR, do games w Sony announces the PS5 Pro with a larger GPU, advanced ray tracing, and AI upscaling
@QubaXR@lemmy.world avatar

It’s a pity SONY didn’t have any games to announce alongside the new console. There is nothing or there I feel like I need more power to play, and I already completed games they demoed, sometimes years ago.

Absolutely agree with this statement. They seem to have no pipeline for keeping up with this console lifecycle.

As the owner of a Series X and PS5, they’re just streaming boxes that I occasionally use to play stuff that won’t run under Proton.

Fizz, do games w Acer’s announces its first handheld gaming PC: the Nitro Blaze

The steamdeck is such a nice name compared to Asus rog ally x or acer nitro blaze 7.

beepnoise, do games w Doom and Doom II get a ‘definitive’ rerelease that’s packed with upgrades

I tried this on my Steam deck, and the launcher that opens the specific game (DOOM, DOOM 2, etc) was so pitifully sluggish.

I think it was struggling to load the screenshot or to stop playing a demo video to move onto showing a screenshot.

Absolutely abysmall performance for something so unbelievably simple by a large studio.

No problems here on PC or my ROG Ally X. Maybe a compatibility issue on Steam Deck.

therealjcdenton, do games w Discord Shuts Down Servers for Switch Emulators Suyu & Sudachi; Disables Lead Developers Account As Well

I’m not surprised. It’s not right for Discord to disable the servers and accounts, but at the same time, if you are hosting a community it shouldn’t be on discord since you aren’t in control of it

Clbull,

Wish they gave as much of a shit about shutting down pedophilia and OnlyFans leak servers as they do licking Nintendo’s boots.

Discord is an inherently unsafe platform.

Emulation is a matter of media preservation. Give us backwards compatibility or go fuck yourselves.

TheGrandNagus, do games w Nvidia’s finally replacing GeForce Experience with this all-in-one ‘Nvidia app’ - The Verge

Fucking finally. Their current one is trash.

Hope they also add overclocking and stuff too, like in AMD’s control panel. And remove the telemetry bs.

Great…now I need an account just to set my display resolution. How long until the 4k setting costs 5$ a month?

The new app has fewer account requirements than the one it is replacing. With GFE, you needed an account just to get automatic driver updates. With the new app, you can do just about anything except redeem free bundled games without an account.

echo64, do games w Valve: don’t expect a faster Steam Deck ‘in the next couple of years’

Kinda wonder what kind of effect a more powerful nintendo device will have on the whole ecosystem. Nintendo devices are automatically probably going to run smoother watt for watt just because developers will likely prioritize optimisation for that device, so it’s all a bit of an uphill battle for the steam deck there

Gamey,

Nintendo never makes anyhow powerful devices, they juat rely wntirely on developer optimization and only certain dwvelopers are willing to put in the time well and money to publiah for their propriatary and expensive frameworks in the first place.

echo64,
  • famicom: very competitive at the time, advanced in some areas
  • snes: very competitive, more powerful in many regards
  • n64: widely accepted as the most powerful of that generation
  • gamecube: more powerful than ps2
  • wii: this one is the least powerful you have that.
  • wiiu: widely accepted as more powerful than x360/ps3
  • switch: powerful hardware for a handheld of the time.
  • rumoured switch successor: rumored to basically be a portable ps4.

Your theory does not hold water. And it is full of typos. You need a better mobile keyboard.

Gamey,

The WiiU wasn’t more powerful than the competition but the old ones where, they gave up on compeating in terms of specs with the Wii and the Swit h uses a mobile processor that was old and slow even when it came out and can easily be surpassed by most phones if it wasn’t for the insane optimisation. They continue to proof that games matter more than specs and that’s a very profitable and well working strategy so idk where you got those rumors from but I am 99% sure the next switch will have a relatively slow ARM processor again and there is nothing wromg with that if it’s enough fun, it just requires a lot of work from the game developers that not all of them are willing to put in. About the typos, no keyboard in the world can fix my drunken typing and I am fairly happy with mine but thanks for the suggestion I guess…

I can’t really comment on the earlier consoles, but those are some pretty biased comparisons.

The GameCube is more powerful than the PS2, but then the Xbox was more powerful than the GameCube. Then you have the Wii. But then WiiU being more powerful than a console coming out 6 years prior? What kind of argument is that?

The argument for the Switch doesn’t prove anything when there’s very little investment in the handheld console market when the Switch came out. And also, who cares if the Switch’s successor can beat a decade old console? I swear, my phone probably can run a PS4 game based purely on its processing power.

averyfalken,

Not only that but the processor it had was like a 2 year old design when switch was released

averyfalken,

The switch 2 is rumored to be more powerful than the ps4 an old console at this point in time that also had relatively seeker hardware than it could or should of at the time (same with Xbox the and jaguar cores were not that good)
