@TheOnlyDopepool@blacknredtext Your a fucking retard ass retard if you think this is the first time it has happened, like its not even valves first time doing it lol.
"Hey have you ever thought about like... not eating and sleeping? You know your economical output goes down close to 0% when you do and the next day output still maxes out to 100%. Just seems like we can use our resources in a more efficient manner is all."
you’ll get mad at me for saying this…but cloud gaming is so obviously more economically efficient than physical hardware I think it’s going to be the default soon.
your home console / pc is idle 90%+ of the day. meanwhile, data centers targets what, 5%, maybe at worst 10% idle.
every second a cloud gamer isn’t gaming, that hardware is being used for someone else, training, etc.
I think there should be a new measurement, something like cost-per effective FLOP hour that takes into account the TCO + effective utilization.
If a gamer spends $500 on a GPU, uses it for 3 years, but it’s only fully active ~5% of that period…the cost-per relative FLOP hour is crazy high! Meanwhile, a $50,000 datacenter GPU might have a *LOWER* cost-per FLOP hour just because the effective utilization is 90+%.
@liminalMarch@keewa@hankgreen Does turning your ac around cause it to cooldown the earth? We are we talking about global warming? We can just AC the whole world!
