How many people use TeamViewer, Anydesk, etc? I don't see how remote windowing is legacy. The feature would be a huge hit if it were modernized and made more accessible and efficient (akin to Microsoft's RDP), and that's only possible if it's a core part of the protocol.

I feel like you're missing the forest for the trees. We love all kinds of things of a technical nature. Trains, skyscrapers, bulldozers, rockets, tanks, guns, etc. I love driving a tank in video games and I love watching movies about tanks, but that doesn't mean I condone their use in real-world warfare unless absolutely necessary.

I think AMD is stuck. When a fab costs 10-20 billion and you're faced with companies as entrenched as TSMC and Samsung, it's going to take an entity fully backed by government money to be able to compete on the same level. The most likely candidate is China, since no other government is interested in investing money for long-term benefits other than them. Haven't they been buying up a lot of talent out of Taiwan in recent years? It's just a matter of time, imo.

The trend looks good for AMD in that case. Intel can't compete on performance or efficiency for mobile chips, so it's just a matter of time before companies start shifting to AMD laptops in greater numbers. Especially since Intel still hasn't been able to demonstrate anything matching AMD.

And yet I'd rather play Cyberpunk than any of these games. The combat is good. It's not great or amazing, but it's good and is fun and satisfying. But gunplay isn't why I bought Cyberpunk, so this idea that because some PS3 games that I have zero interest in have "better" gameplay, Cyberpunk isn't worth playing seems insane to me.

I'm confused. Did you really think somebody found a way to do real-time raytracing on a stock SNES? I saw the title and the first thing I thought is "It's not possible, so clearly they did some black magic fuckery to subvert the system's limitations". I wasn't disappointed either, because it's impressive what he managed to do. Maybe try not to take every title completely literally? And maybe try a little bit harder to appreciate people's creativity and hard work?

The US is irrelevant for European defense though. They're no longer a reliable partner and nobody seriously believes we can rely on them if anything does happen. So we're down to France and Germany, and I'm not sure Germany's military is particularly competent. The way I see it, Russia is far more efficient at defense spending than most of the EU countries, so they're a legitimate threat even if they "only" match France in spending.
