I couldn't use Heliboard because of the forced toolbar of all things. FlorisBoard lets me open and close the toolbar by holding the spacebar and because I don't need word suggestions and stuff I swapped back to FlorisBoard. Heliboard seemed great, but I just couldn't get it how I wanted it, so I am extra glad this update has finally arrived!

Can we stop calling it AI?

It's so tiny that it's a waste of time and money. Most phones can charge in an hour now, so there's no need to shave 60s off a night charge by exposing your phone to the sun all day.

Carry a power bank if you are constantly draining your phone all day.

Wow, it really is fucking terrible.

I also like the Halloween pillow (and the cutie sat on it)!

Yep. As more people buy GPUs that have the capabilities to use machine learning upscaling (the bandaid) then the more likely developers are to use it instead of spending time improving performance.

I see it the most in Unreal Engine games, Unreal Engine allows devs to make a "realistic" style game fast, but performance is often left in the dirt. UE also has some of the worst anti-aliasing out of the box, so DLSS for example, is a good catch all to try and improve framerates and provide some AA, but instead you just get a lot of blur and poor graphical fidelity. The issues probably don't exist at higher resolutions, like 4K (which is maybe what they develop with), but the majority of people still use 1080p.

Oops sorry for the rant! I just got pissed off with it again recently in Satisfactory!

Pros, more fps on low end hardware.
Cons, worse image, ghosting, blur, artifacting, lower overall performance because devs rely on upscaling.

It's existence is a crutch. Games should be made properly and not rely on ML upscaling for meaningful performance.

Hardware is insanely powerful at the moment, the problem is time isnt spent making the most out of it anymore, which then increases demand for more powerful hardware (that we dont need). The sales loop for Nvidia, except now they want to sell you ML optimised cards, which cost more.

Fuck off Nvidia.

Man, I was like why are 12 year olds voting?

Yeah, it's a shame they abandoned TF2. VAC is my preferred AC though, they were ahead of the curve with ML detection, now ML has blown up in a major way, that is what we should focusing on for AC, not borderline malware.

Honestly, he probably had no idea who he was, got told some prolific person (who?) was endorsing him by his campaign managers and just went with female pronouns from the name 'Nicky' and called them hot to hype them up in some fucked up way?

Because he doesn't give a shit about anyone, he isn't going to put a second to learn about them.

Yeah, "kernel level anticheat" has become a bit of buzzword in the competitive game scene and people just think it's better without really understanding what that means. Microsoft could do one good thing here and begin blocking that shit.
