It doesn't seem like AMD has any intention of continuing to develop this project. The reason it went open source in the first place is that AMD stopped funding this project. The dev and AMD had an agreement that he could open source the code once they stop working together. They stopped working together because AMD wanted out of a project that would benefit its products, and that was demonstrated to work well. The dev opened sourced the project as agreed. This was back in Feb this year.

Now AMD are trying to make the source code closed so no one can access it. They are not announcing a closed sourced version of this feature that they are developing themselves as far as I know. So this move is simply to remove code from the Internet that would allow their cards to work better in certain workloads when compared to their competitors. AMD should not have an incentive to do this. Nvidia has an incentive to get rid of this code, yes.

The implication is that AMD is doing this because they don't want to truly compete with Nvidia. And they don't want to compete with Nvidia because their CEO's don't really want to compete. This is not the first time AMD has simply chosen not to put pressure on Nvidia with AMD seemingly comfortable with their place.

And this is why the CEO of your company should not be a family relation to the CEO of your main rival company.

You can't even buy ammo from a vending machine in GTA. You still need to go to a gun store for that in the game. You can tell Rockstar have been slacking when real life gets ahead of their satirical game.

No, that's what modders are for. Why pay your expensive developers to make a full and fun game when you can develop a husk of a fun game and let volunteers do the rest?

Communism is very similar in this way. It's great on paper, and then people put it into practice...

You can, it's just on by default.

Samsung's OneUI does this by default for all connections .

I couldn't watch this from the UK. I had to use a VPN. I have to say that from personal, and this is anecdotal however, I lived next to a food bank until a few months ago and every day that it was open (3 times a weeks), the queue for that place was spilling onto the streets. I remember remarking how many normal people I saw, families with children after them, people I would expect to see in a supermarket are waiting outside food banks.

I think that if you know where to look, it is that bad. If you don't, though, it can be easy to miss as most people suffer is silence it seems, out of embarrassment or something else, I don't know. I wonder how many of these people I saw outside the food bank tell people they know that they are forced to use a food bank? I'm not judging them for potentially not saying something to anyone, if they feel embarrassed, but at the same time if people suffer in silence, the issue can be ignored.

My personal opinion is that things are that bad, we just don't give it visibility and we don't talk about it.

The article mentioned tear gas canisters be equipped instead. I can't wait for a delivery robot to be near my property, someone tries to mess with it and gets gassed, then I get to enjoy tear gas as well from my front porch.

This feature can be achieved very easily by them without making accounts. They already have a list of Instagram usenames. When a new user makes an account on Threads, check the username against a simple list of Instagram usernames and if it matches, throw an error stating the username is not available.

Why does that person need to have an actual account on Threads?

People figured it out before, they'll do it again. The incentive to do so just needs to be greater than it is now, and that is changing.

It's coming out on PC which supports modding and VR. It's not the same thing that's true but Starfield will receive heavy mod support and a decent VR experience is almost a given on PC eventually in my opinion.
