I have tried this. I'm often reminded the next day that they still haven't received a reply from me.

When people message with a "hi" or "hello" and then say nothing more till I reply.

It annoys the hell out of me. Like, why can't you just say what you want. It wastes so much of my time and mental energy to switch back and forth while I wait for your reply after replying to your utterly useless hello.

Close to 15% India's energy needs already being met with solar. What do you mean "why not invest"?

I agree that the top end gpus are shit at efficiency and we should could cut back.

According to Steam survey, 4090, 3090, 6900XT, and 7900 XTX combined are being used by about 1.7% of gamers.

This number is, of course, inflated (at least slightly) because people who have money to buy these cards are also more likely to buy games and people owning older/cheaper cards are more likely to be playing pirated copies.

The top tier cards are showcase of technological advancement. They are not really used by a large number of people. So there's not much point. It will only reduce the baseline for next generation, leading to less advancement.

I'm someone who doesn't care about graphics a whole lot. I play most modern games at 1080p Mid/high on my RTX 3060.

And yet, I totally agree with your points. Many times, older games had rich looking environment from a distance, but if you go close or try to interact with it, it just breaks the illusion. Like, leaves can't move independently or plants just don't react to your trampling then etc.

A lot of graphical improvements are also accompanied with improvements in how elements interact with other elements in the game. And that definitely adds to the immersion, when you can feel like you're a part of the environment.

I needed a second number a few months ago. My phone has a physical SIM and an eSIM slot. I looked at eSIM.

This is from India, there was no clear information on switching phones and all. Since many cheap phones (the type I use) still don't have eSIM slots, I might need move back to physical SIM later. There was no information about that either.

And lastly, regulations suck here. Every change of SIM type is treated as a new connection which comes with a 24-hour embargo on everything except incoming calls.

I just bought a cheap second phone.

20 million units of a gaming console hardly sounds like a crisis. People have gotten far too used to sales number of mobile phones. Consoles are not something everyone buys.
