Alphane Moon@lemmy.worldto PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Gamers Are Reportedly Skipping GPU Upgrades Due to Soaring Prices — Paying Bills Takes Priority Over Chasing NVIDIA’s RTX 5090English1·8 days agoThat’s why it’s best to focus on absolute unit shipment numbers/POS.
If total units increased compared to the previous generation launch, then people are still buying GPUs.

But turns out, at least with the respect to this NetBSD specific offer, you have to send out an application.
Alphane Moon@lemmy.worldto PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Gamers Are Reportedly Skipping GPU Upgrades Due to Soaring Prices — Paying Bills Takes Priority Over Chasing NVIDIA’s RTX 5090English14·8 days agoIt seems like gamers have finally realized that the newest GPUs by NVIDIA and AMD are getting out of reach, as a new survey shows that many of them are skipping upgrades this year.
Data on GPU shipments and/or POS sales showing a decline would be much more reliable than a survey.
Surveys can at times suffer from showing what the respondents want to reply as opposed to what they do.

Alphane Moon@lemmy.worldto PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Apple is reportedly creating its own Steam-like game launcher, but it's still missing the key to making gaming on Mac greatEnglish10·21 days agoThey have powerful iGPUs; something similar to Strix Halo. I am not a Mac user, but in my understanding the top end SKU have iGPUs comparable to high end dGPUs (with respect to synthetic performance, actual gaming performance tends to lag heavily).

Alphane Moon@lemmy.worldOPto Raspberry Pi@programming.dev•Final bookworm-based Raspberry Pi OS update arrivesEnglish1·2 months agoI use DietPi (an excellent SBC OS that combines minimalism with a powerful set of CLI management tools for people who are not experts in Linux), I am not looking forward to the base Debian update.
I don’t know how it works with Raspberry Pi OS, but with DietPi I was forced to do a clean install after a borked update to the bookworm base. I stick to defaults and in-built configuration tools with DietPi.

There are significant limitations to this approach such lack of graceful support for thumbnails, markdown (doesn’t work on the Mastodon side) and URLs. I.e. it’s only good fat basic text posts (or image only posts).

Shipment/POS do not telling you anything about unfulfilled demand or “unrealized supply”.
It’s just how unit were shipped into the channel and sales at retail respectively.
These are the best data points that we have to understand demand dynamic.
Gamers are also a notoriously dramatic demography that often don’t go through on what they say.
