do people in the UK not like things like Teriyaki, or like americanized Chinese food like orange chicken?

its only assumed yeah that the parents were financially well off because it was a common thing back then (and is still prevelent today) where couples would adopt children, not knowing that they were victims of child trafficking.

keep in mind this case was only solved because the neice did a DNA ancestry test and found a nearest match. If police wanted this data, they either would have needed to ask said family to turn in DNA (which id imagine back then, wasnt a service at this scale) or to give them 100% access to DNA data of every citizen, which I doubt anyone wants.

afaik, steam drm is optional and its the devs decision to use it or not. thats why there is actually a list of games that are hosted on steam without DRM.

basically yeah, covid-19 ontop of console shortage and people getting more free time/unemployment checks boosted the PC space a lot.

because they didnt learn, in order to make more profit per sale on your platform, you either:

make a platform consumer friendly enough that people are willing to use it (the part that is most important)

or

make a game thats "good enough" that people will use your platform as a service (e.g Riot)

EA and Ubisoft (mostly) failed at both, with both hanging on a thread (Apex for EA, R6S for Ubisoft)

if its strictly nas, yeah thats a flaw. the advantage of the x86 devices is that the low power chips have good transcoding. so its common for people to pick up intel n series boards for intel quicksync, and the raw expansion ports for storage

AMD is testing arm in the backend, but they have no incentive to switching to an ARM design at the moment. I fully believe both AMD and Nvidia are waiting for Qualcomm/Microsoft to iron out Windows for Arm before they release their projects. Nvidia of course has experience via tegra for linux via jetson. AMD is just making use of their advantageous situation on desktop/server market to not need to immediately shift to ARM.

With Ryzen x3D for consumers(desktop), and Ryzen #c cores for low power server core count/low power consumption/yields. they control a huge mind share and the only one they dont control is low power boards (<35W) devices as it's not their current priority (theyre devouring the server market)

Im not singling them out, im saying arm in GENERAL isn't great at gaming, and it's silly to assume just because something is ARM that it's instantly more efficient at everything it does. IDK how you're reading my statements

no, it runs on x86 as its essentially a semicustom AMD chip. AMD currently does not have any consumer facing ARM chips

me mentioning the snapdragon x elite is the situation. it doesnt have good battery life in the usecase this while topic is about (gaming). your comment sounds like you read the reviews and didnt understand which functions excelled in battery life, and which ones didnt.

the whole point is just because something is Arm, doesnt automatically make it more efficient in all usecases. what's the point in a gaming device thats less efficient when its gaming.

Millennials at least had media that were still active that used pagers. For example, any kid growing up with Hey Arnold (1996, the final cutoff year for a millennial roughly), you would get introduced to Big Bob's Beepers which is literally just a store that sells pagers.
