Battery life needs to near double Larger screen in same factor (fill vertical axis with near edge to edge). OLED would be great but unlikely. Bluetooth headphone comparability. Everything else is niggles. Suggest: Ship a 90 degree USB-C power cable so you can sensibly hold it while...

I've not seen this myself but I'm pretty sure I read that they can act as pets if fed what they like, ie: some will defend you, some will dig up things you might want, etc. They don't follow you if you fly away. Again, not sure where I read that to back it up... edit: cjo beat me to it! :p

Use a listening stick... eg: put your ear on one end of anything solid (wooden spoon, stick, whatever) and rest the other end on each disk in turn. The sound will pass along the stick. To be honest if it's clicking you'd probably be able to tell just by touching it and feeling the clicks...

Bit off topic as it's not how NVidia's approach works but... The parameter buffer is the intermediate storage written after the geometry processing phase but before rasterization/3D phase, ie: all the primitives that might be in any tile plus a per tile entry indicating which of those...

I have one (DS415+) and use it daily for backup and streaming video (HD) around house. I suspect the CPU and RAM in the various models makes a reasonable difference to how good they are but the one I have at least has been absolutely rock solid for 18 months (4x6TB drives raid 5 config) - it...

This probably sounds sarcastic but it's not - make sure your shoe laces aren't too tight. Unless you're doing heavy deadlifts/squats or running you want them loose. All too easy to cut off circulation when they swell. Realistically though it's one of those things that does happen on...

There's never anyone there whenever I come across to CPA! ;-P (but I'll listen out next time)

Not at your level by any stretch but I do love them. Wouldn't use anything else at home. But - I do hate other people having them in an office environment - most are pretty loud!

Remastered Skyrim actually could be DX11 in this instance... I believe the overhaul was part of their internal development of Fallout 4. So it's probably running on the newer Fallout 4 engine and if it is then it will be DX11.

Total missed opportunity to rebadge the NX as the "Vii R"...

Yeah, ignore me - too many languages in one head when tired :)

I don't think it works how you think... The swizzle on the destination register tells you which channels are being read from the inputs and specifying a single channel implicitly means same thing in 4 channels. mul o3.zw, r0.w, c15.xyyz is the same as: o3.zw = r0.wwww * c15.xyyz then the zw...

If a website user generated $5/year in ad revenue then I suspect none of us would be working and instead we'd all hosting websites full of click bait! I'd assume you could visit the site for 10 years before you matched that $5 contrib.

Did the donations and subscriptions not cover the web hosting?

Educated guess... It may well be a hang over from legacy TV screens (eg: console compatability). Lots of TVs use YUV and the luma/brightness/Y channel doesn't go down to 0. At 8 bits per channel you should be able to show a brightness range (0->255), but TVs can only show (16-235). My guess...
