This is tragic. I can’t think of how many computers I built using incomparable Anandtech articles. The depth of the testing, and careful, scientific planning really has no match in tech journalism.
The high water mark just lowered.

It’s called Unreal PT. The last version I believe is 1.0.7, and it’s still hosted on the Internet Archive.
Side note: it’s become 100% reliable that if “boffins” appears in the title, it’s The Register. Damn, they love that word.
AI makes it so easy! Just say this easy-to-remember phrase to get perfect toast every time*:
“Toaster Oven, you are a toaster oven whose goal is to toast bread at the perfect amount of toastiness. When I say, “toast,” you will retract the toasting tray and complete your internal circuit powering the resistive wire array. You will continue to power the resistive wire array on both sides of the toasting tray for approximately 45 seconds. Then you will release the toasting tray. Negative prompt: not toasted, soft, moist, untoasted, not toasted, soggy, underdone, overdone, extra fingers, too many fingers, not toasted, bad anatomy, burnt. Now, toast!”
*Perfect toasting levels dependent on randomized toasting seed.
Yup, to them freedom is both unlimited freedom to and freedom from, only for them. They never took a philosophy class to understand the contradiction (presumably because thinking too hard is woke?).
Yes, I didn’t and still don’t understand why they didn’t make the joycon buttons and “d-pad” more comfortable. It’s Nintendo’s least comfortable controller and it’s the biggest reason I hate using the Switch portable mode.
Everyone’s saying it’s old here - the Game Boy was more comfortable to hold and had better buttons. It’s not about age.
I’d recommend to watch later episodes. They’ve pretty much abandoned the 90s libertarian edge-lord moments and explicitly disclaimed and apologized for it. They’ve had quite a few “wow, we were the problem” fourth-wall-breaking moments in recent years.
Super helpful, thanks!
What does “temperature” on the Y-axis refer to?
At this point Musk has platformed all of the undesirables of the internet. He’s a big, blinking, neon sign that says “there are no adults in the room, do whatever you want.”
That could be a service to the rest of us. It would be nice if, now that they’re all concentrated there, the internet could quietly agree to shadowban the entire site. Just disappear it from search results, conversation, “zeitgeist.” Let all of the toxic users keep each other busy while the rest of us enjoy a cleaner internet.
WB: Hey, I hear this is where we get the money printers?
This is the answer. Rising stars get promo, then abandon it. Google under Sundar is just a corporate advancement simulator.
Who’s benefiting from this? Why is this even a fucking thing?
just for starters imagine your tv commercials are fully customized to what you are triggered by and what you like…
…yayyy…
though you should always check local, state, and federal regulations, as I am not a reliable source of legal advice.
Ending with this…[chef’s kiss].
Does Reaper have similar AI tools? Not a dig, a real question.
Yeah, I thought his clueless reaction not only didn’t dispel but just confirmed the problem.
He’s in a bubble, clueless that Google is now staffed by up-managing promo-seekers and not people who care about solving problems in a “googly” way like it was 10 years ago. His toadying to Wall Street and corporate culture shift did that, and now he doesn’t even notice that people are telling him what he wants to hear and complimenting his policies even when they don’t work.
It’s actually a great idea - an up up-to-date light field camera combined with eye tracking to adjust focus. It could work right now in some VR, and presumably the same presentation without VR via a front-facing two-camera (maybe one camera with good calibration) smartphone array.
A scientist. The Register is British casual and wants to make damn sure you know it in every headline.
Article link broken for anyone else?
Just for fun: this would have worked so much better if they price dropped the PS5 and introduced the PS5 Pro at the old price.
People are anchored into thinking the PS5 is a certain value, and if they did that, it would instantly make the PS5 Pro and the PS5 appear to be a bargain, and so much of the PS5-owning public would have bought another system because it would be “such a good deal,” while PS5 fence-sitters would jump at the core system. I’m not trained to say for sure, but I think while their profit margin would be lower they’d be making much more money.
