    Sorry. iPad user. That being said, The Galaxy Tab S10 seems too big (14"/12"). I've handled the larger iPads and always came back to the 11" form factor. That size, for me, balances the screen size with weight without feeling over bulky. So maybe the Galaxy Tab S9? Or the Pixel Tab. I don't treat my iPad as a laptop replacement. It's a consumption device that I do some work on. So I guess it defining your use case will define if you want to get a larger or smaller screen. Is it a laptop replacement or a supplemental device?

    Yeah, we kinda got wiff of that reasoning back in July/August when they announced the cancellation. It really costed twice the amount The Mandolorian costed per episode and didn't garner as much ROI.

    Gunn stated on Threads that he does not want to tell Superman or Batman origin stories since everyone knows their origins. I would say, think of this story as a Year 2-type story. The relationships are built or building to where they collide. James Gunn’s Superman Introduction Avoids a Major Origin Movie Mistake (ComicBook.com) Also, despite what we see, Krypto is not a "good boy". ‘Superman’: James Gunn On Superhero’s “Complicated” Relationship With Krypto; “He’s Not Nearly The Best Dog”

    Dear god no. It was made by the same AI image generator that makes those "<insert movie title> was made in <year or decade> <Panovision/stereoscopic/etc style"-type videos on Youtube.

    Also today, Intel Arc B580 - "Battlemage" GPU reviews are out. Consensus is; It's not bad. Overall, it's actually worth the $250 price tag...if you are in the budget-build realm. Almost RTX 4060 performance overall at a RX7600 price tag. And with 12GB of VRAM to boot. Yah Intel (?). Drivers still need some work but it might actually be a good budget GPU.

    LG stops making Blu-ray players, marking the end of an era — limited units remain while inventory lasts (Tom's Hardware) Seeing how people are grabbing physical copies because shows disappear from streaming on a routine basis, it's kinda sad another vendor is leaving that market. But alas....

    Perhaps space-configuration? That would explain the thrust vectoring U-shaped backpack. The show is starting off in the colony so it should be optimally spec'd.

    Whenever it's ready. It just depends. Announcements could be 6 months out. They could be 3 months out from premiere. It just depends. And since you are asking on a Macross-specific site, the answer is, "No one knows." If you're holding your breathe for some kind of announcement, I would suggest finding a way to oxygenate your blood cuz you'll be holding your breathe for a long time.

    Just a FYI, it's pronounced "G-quax". Some other info from the press event. GQuuuuuuX production started in 2018 (2 years before Witch from Mercury).

    I actually liked Mon Mothma's story in Andor. 'Said that early on. As much as Luthen is the lone-wolf person, he is behind-the-scenes. He has no political capital to spend to rally other cells behind the cause. The other cells will do what they want to do just as he does with his group. Eventually, the Rebellion would need a political figure-head that all Rebel cells eventually rally under. And that's Mon Mothma.

    Yes I know. They came out back in August/September. Besides the performance and efficiency improvements, the main selling point was the AI features (it's in the name), which don't have a true definitive benchmark test nor have feature that's taking advantage of it at the moment. I don't see an upgrade to the Ally X coming out before Spring 2025. Unless Asus wants to sunset the the original Ally ASAP. Maybe in 2026. Compute-wise, there isn't any real generational leap in the forecast. Me neither. Which is, honestly, to be expected. Right now, we need software to play catch-up. It will be transformative in that AI workloads may finally see some fruition in everyday compute but hardware? Probably not except for generational uplifts. Nothing revolutionary. Only evolutionary.

    AI hardware is nice and all, but game developers are still a couple of years away from actually taking advantage of said hardware. Much like ray-tracing and DLSS, game developers have to implement the coding on their side. Stuff in production now probably won't use too much AI. Stuff in the pipeline to be released a few years for now will probably be able to use the AI hardware (in something besides frame gen, which is handled by the GPU). Probably. The lowest I would expect it to go would be 15% ($694) but that might require patience to get closer to Christmas when retailers drop prices to increase their year-end sales numbers.

    Outside of those weekly 2 hours, do you use it in other longer sessions? Or just burst playing when bored? Like you said, it's quality-of-life improvements. Otherwise, it's the same device (same APU, same screen). Also, how much of a Black Friday deal will it be? The base unit is on sale for $700 right now at Best Buy. If a Black Friday deal can beat that, sure.

    SEED came out during the period as CG and drawing tablet screens started replacing physical animation materials. This was still a time where they did it on physical materials, then scanned in. Nowhere near where it is now where there's practically no paper/cels (i.e, in reverse now; done in the computer and then printed out for reference & QC)
