@Inle Hi, can you please tell if the headphone output is amplified? One way to tell is to plug the 32 ohm (or higher) headset in a pc with only onboard audio and then directly in the speakers and see the difference.

To each one his own, I guess. I disagree with the mouse thing. Those games were designed for console and controller. I remember playing MGS on the PSX and a the combination camera view + controller was perfect. Just like The first three Resident Evil on the PSX. You should give it a try with a...

What a monster! I doubt that this will become a 50€ chip anytime soon. :)

If you consider that tablets and smartphones are designed in a way that they can't be upgraded or repaired by the customer, it's clear that the companies who made them don't give a flying fak about us. They want you to buy the next shiny new thing every year. In this case we can't complain with...

How's that? Nvidia would do the chip according to the specs requested by Nintendo. If they want a very powrful chip, then Nvidia will design a complete new chip, that then they will sold to other companies too, not only to Nintendo. We all know that Nintendo never cared of the performance war...

Cheaper? Anyway, we'll see when Sony will present officially the device and someone will dismount it.

Mh... We don't have the full specs yet, just a generic description. If the thing has a fixed display attached to it and some storage possibility, it could be hacked. Don't you need a chipset to convert the video signal from one resolution to another? In that case I don't think that Sony would...

The PS Vita can stream PS3 and PS4 games, but its hardware can't emulate those console. The new portable console will have an APU inside, I suppose, and if that is powerful enough to run PS3 games, then the players don't need anything more. A chipset that powerful could run Dreamcast, Switch...

What? Never heard of Sony PSP and PS Vita? :D A console that can be used only to stream the PS5 games can appeal only a small number of customers. On the other hand, if this baby will have a micro-SD slot and a powerful hardware, this could be hacked and transformed in something more powerful...

It's cool that it doesn't have game breaking bugs or problems. For me a big issue is the price: it's too high and having millions of players buying this game at launch or pre-ordering won't help to keep prices reasonable in the years to come.

Not really. The devs nerf the builds that streamers show off on YT, without considering that these guys make them using currency and gear that 99% of the players won't ever have. Builds worth some Mirror or hundreds of Divines, stuff that casual gamers can't find or collect even after a year of...

POE right now is very different from what it was a year ago. The devs keeps nerfing the builds on each expansion that they release and recently they heavily nerfed even the loot, so now the player has to spend way more hours to find some decent gear to use or trade. Seems designed for the people...

MS can integrate the ability to extract rar and 7zip archives, but there is also the performance side to look at. How the computer hardware is used by the OS to extract these archives. Does it use all threads and cpu power, does it use them from the start of the operation? How fast can it be...

For me the real innovation in this field would be the use of gpu acceleration, because would make things super fast. That way even archives with a high rate of compression would be created and extracted in reasonable times. Right now we have 30-40 different formats and only the developers of...

I wonder why big companies like MS don't invest money in the development of a compression software like 7zip and winrar. These two softwares and winzip are like in a limbo since years. Yes, they get updates, but not ground-breaking ones. Lot of pro softwares nowadays make use of gpu acceleration...
