I haven’t seen an AI make an convincing oil painting yet :-)

Maybe not for you, but search for oil painting prints on amazon and you'll find tons of AI generated stuff. The average Joe already can't tell the difference.

For professional artists, AI art is taking away their livelihood. Many of them already lived in precarious conditions in a tough job market before and this is only getting worse now, with companies increasingly relying on cheaper AI art for things like concept art etc.

For me, as a hobbyist and art consumer, the main issue is AI art invading "my" spaces. I want to look at Human-made art and have no interest in AI-generated content whatsoever. But all the platforms are getting flooded with AI content and all the filters I set to avoid it barely help. Many users on these platforms roleplay as real artists as well and pretend their art isn't AI, which annoys me quite a bit. I don't mind if people want to look at AI art, but they should leave me alone with it and don't force it down my throat.

DLSS without frame generation is at least equivalent (sometimes superior) to a native image though.

It really isn't though. DLSS produces artifacts, especially for quick camera movements as well as things like hair and vegetation. Those artifacts get heavier the smaller the native rendering resolution is. It also differs quite a lot between implementations. In some games it looks better, in others worse (e.g. Dragon's Dogma 2 and Stalker 2).

But my point wasn't to bash DLSS anyway. It's a good technology, especially for lower powered devices. I use it in many games on my 2070s. But Nvidia using this technology to claim "4090 performance" on a card that really has far less power than a 4090 is dishonest and misleading. To make an honest comparison, you'd use the same settings and parameters on both cards.

*With heavy DLSS and frame generation. Total bullshit and false marketing by Nvidia IMO.

I mean they still ran in an emulator on Linux. It had plenty of native games as well though, like Cave Story in the photo.

Finde solche Funktionen nur eingeschränkt nützlich, da sie ja nicht den eigentlichen Diebstahl verhindern. Wegfahren können die Diebe trotzdem und ich denke dass sie sich in den wenigsten Fällen davon abhalten lassen würden dass der Motor/Akku gesperrt ist. Würde da deshalb sicher keinen monatlichen Betrag für zahlen.

Nice! Never had the F100. Always wondered how that "Analog stick" (that I think was really just a DPad?) controlled.

Sure. But will it be profitable and will enough people want to use it? I think most likely the answer is no.

Hunters are a big lobby here. They don't want competition by predators. As long as there's no natural balance, they can tell everyone their hobby is essential work for the preservation of nature. An actually sustainable solution is against their interests.

Does it have a proper suspend/resume function for games? For me, that's pretty much the benchmark for reaching a "Steam Deck-level" experience. But I think none of the other handhelds have it.

Data is money. Whatever data a company can legally collect (or get away with illegally collecting), they will collect.
