Some topics do genuinely require more time though. But those can and should be split into well-defined chapters.

I can respond to every single comment of yours. It's just that my time is worth much more than that. Since Russia has basically an infinite amount of propaganda and you won't stop until you spew all of it.

If you were a user that used logic and reasoning I might be motivated enough to engage in conversation. You are not, however.

I don't think the chances are that remote.

Microsoft values backwards compatibility a lot. At least in windows. So from a technical viewpoint, the older Xbox games are probably already compatible with the newest Xbox. If that is the case, technically it would be as easy as removing the arbitrary check that the Xbox version matches. Maybe add a frame rate limiter so old games that calculated time for physics based on frame rate don't break.

From a business perspective, Microsoft does not sell as many remakes/remasters as other companies (like Nintendo, that just sells you an old game+emulator for absurd prices).

In fact, with gamepass, Microsoft states that it doesn't want to sell you games. It just wants you to spend as much time in Xbox/WinPC paying their subscriptions.

Allowing old games will mean bringing them to gampass too. Which is what they want. They want as many games in gamepass as possible.

Ah I read the ".ml", but not the username. It doesn't make sense for me to continue to argue. You're deep into the Russian propaganda pool.

The US are using its bases in allied countries to attack Iran. It is not named a NATO mission because it isn't. The NATO alliance does not require it's members to let the US use the military bases in their countries.

For example, Spain, a member of NATO, did not allow the US to use the military bases located in Spain to attack Iran.

The US has many allies. Some in NATO, and some outside NATO. Even if the US exited NATO, it could still use the bases in allied countries.

It does matter to Iran if it is a NATO mission or not. Because since it is not, it doesn't have to fight against the entirety of NATO.

The US cannot use military bases it does not own or in foreign territory without permission. If there were "NATO military bases" in Ukraine, It would need the permission of NATO and Ukraine to use such base. NATO would presumably not grant permission to use it for an offensive war, as it is a defensive alliance.

Yeah. A defensive alliance is totally the same as a military that is currently committing a genocide for the purpose of territorial expansion.

And Russia is totally an invented enemy that is not currently in a war with the purpose of territorial expansion.

Oh wait, what is actually similar to the IDF is Russia! Who would have thought?

They can defend themselves the same way as if any other country attacked them.

NATO doesn't protect you if you start an offensive war. It only protects you if you've been attacked first.

There's no better example than the epstein-US-Iran war. Trump keeps whining that his "NATO allies" are not helping him. Iran right now can attack the US as much as it can, since the US started the war for no fucking reason.

Some individual countries that are part of NATO have helped the US, but that was independently of NATO.

What expansion?

The latest new members of NATO after many years have applied because Russia invaded ukraine, a non-NATO country.

If there weren't countries invading other ones, no one would need to join NATO, as it is a defensive alliance.

I believe it went over your head. This was a satire comment. It is made by OP. OP doesn't believe in those words. Sarcasm can be used without writing "/s".

If you criticism the Chinese government on a .ml instance, you will quickly get banned for "rule 2: xenophobia".

Go to basically any comment section of a politics-related popular post on a .ml instance. I can almost guarantee that there will be some china/Russia/north Korea brainless take.

1 million is the net worth of the person. Assuming the wealthiest person of your family has 50% of the family's wealth, the wealthiest person is still not in the top 1%.

If you read the conclusion, it is very clear that you should not ever break convention. You should not apply this if it would affect any other program.

That is, if your input is in u8, your output should be in u8 too. Otherwise you are "exposing" your different quantization.

I don't think this post is telling you that you should use the 256 method. I think it is pretty clear that it is just explaining it, not advocating for it. At various points of the article it is written something like "I struggle to see a situation where it would be beneficial".
