Yesterday was Twilight, today New Moon. Something tells me I might see Eclipse tomorrow.

It’s hoa hoa hoa season, baby.

Based on some Amazon listing warnings, it seems that MacOS only lets you use one of those ports to extend your display, the other would be just for mirroring.

I think this is because base M1-M3 can only drive single external display in MacBooks.

You’re probably right on most of your assumptions but I don’t want sound like I’m sure either.

This is precisely what Digital Foundry specialises in - objective assessment of technical performance. This one seems to be slightly boring due to game running well but for me at least this is important to know before any big game purchase. Not that I plan on buying Veilguard after some other reviews.

Siemens is still huge in everything related to mechanical engineering. Need a train? Siemens is probably involved. Food processing? Siemens parts somewhere for sure.

I'm not super into CoD and the last one I played (not counting remasters) were Advanced Warfare campaign and some Black Ops 3 multiplayer. They were okay but at that point I was quite tired with the series. I started BO6 on my XSX and the single player campaign is quite fun. I probably won’t be touching multiplayer on the account of being old.

The thing about CoD campaigns is that you have to suspend your disbelief and go with the flow of what game is throwing at you. There's a lot of scripted scenes where you just have to push through to progress to next scripted scene. If you play to exploit that you won’t get much enjoyment. Treat it like a amusement park ride and it’ll treat you with bombastic set pieces.

I’m not sure if I’m missing anything lore-wise. Black Ops 1&2 which I played were heavy on spy / CIA stuff, plot twists and I enjoyed them a lot. So far I’m just assuming BO6 is cryptic on purpose like older ones so it doesn’t bother me that I jumped without playing previous ones.

Technically CoD games have always been rather accomplished with nice visuals while targeting 60fps (but not making a big deal out of dropping to 50 or so). BO6 looks very good.

Overall it’s not some revolutionary or overly ambitious game but it’s quite competent equivalent of a popcorn flick.

Nobody is saying it’s going to run well on the entire range of hardware but in terms of performance GPUs in Pro and Max versions of their SoCs are closer to a discrete GPU than something integrated.

There’s more than 100 journalists on Mastodon definitely. Maybe not in a single country but I’m not going to be too snarky since we’re discussing it on Lemmy which is not the most popular thing either.

I don’t like this idea for the opposite reason. I'm one of the people who are suspicious of videos with millions of views since most of them look manufactured. We all use view counts to gauge if a video is something we’re after, probably in more ways than we can come up with.

If it gives you any encouragement - I’m not discouraged by view counts. I know I like niche stuff and give small channels a try. It’s a chance at having more genuine interaction. As long as a video is not off-putting due to bad diction or very bad production then I’m not going to back out and see what it is about. This can work to your advantage too.
