no, the article says Mark Gurman said it’s going to be the M4 chip:

“Now, however, Gurman reports that the Vision Pro refresh will in fact use the existing M4 chip, not M5.”

I think they are confusing Microsoft Edge (the browser) and Bing (the search engine). You can see the Copilot icon in the top right, so it’s probably the Edge browser.

more like a platform where the community is able to publish user-created games for people to play. Maybe the different instances could be different types of games (e.g. action, RPG, puzzle) or different languages/regions. For instance, something like Roblox and even Scratch is where people are able to make their own games and make it public so others can play (though for Scratch, it’s not just games).

Budget phones by Chinese companies are really good now, esp. with things like SiC batteries. Very cheap phones now have nice 120hz screens, decent processors for everyday use, very good battery life, nice build quality, and even okayish cameras. It’s really only the software that’s a bit bloated, but it’s (usually) removable (and you could always install a custom ROM)

Budgets phones from non-Chinese companies like Samsung and now Nothing/CMF are quite good too.

edit: when I mean build quality, I don’t mean metal/glass. Budget phones are made of plastic, but nowadays they have nice finishes, are quite durable, and are dust/water resistant.

That makes sense, humans love grabbing the next new thing.

I find it weird that tech reviewers are hyping up 7 years of OS support by Samsung and Google (which is very good!) while simultaneously promoting upgrading to the newest phone every year (which, in my opinion, is quite wasteful)

Yeah, budget phones have gotten really good. That makes sense, the companies have a financial incentive to make the better phone than everyone else.

Kind of crazy that we mere humans have developed these super-advanced silicon wafers that can do millions of operations every second and we develop new, better ones every year.

pixel art of player interacting with stone totem covered in vines with orange core. It is producing orange light. Grasses and vines surround the player, and wine glasses eminating with a red glow are on the floor.

I've got some lighting now and it looks really cool! No normal maps yet though, so I might get to that at some point...

Ah ok. Everyone makes mistakes, it's all fine and good :D

later down the line I might add a few more nature deity abilities, but I think four is probably enough.

[–] sbeak@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

That makes sense, the Greeks has a bunch more gods and deities and such they worshipped.

In my game I’m also including four of the nature deities, Helios (the sun god), Achelous (the river god of the Achelous river), the winds, and Gaia (the Earth). The idea is that you can interact with the totems to use their abilities (e.g. Gaia totem would heal you)
