A major factor failing to be considered here, is the importance of consistent input latency. This example where cloud gaming is “lower latency”(in very niche favorable circumstances) most would prefer local because it’s consistent. Dropping inputs to a lag spike is a non starter.
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+%.
@CarolinaGX7X@corylav 1 - speculation is also that this noise is his agent trying to stir the pot. He has a history of this.
2 - would be dumb to not listen to offers. If a team wants to massively overpay, it should be considered.
@ellaella963@HughJazzole@TheHockeyNews@Michael_Traikos Even if I am incorrect about playoff teams not receiving rev share, 7/10 are still American franchises.
Even still, they’ve hurricanes have contributed significantly more than most Canadian teams since 2018.
Your rev share argument doesn’t hold weight here.
@ellaella963@HughJazzole@TheHockeyNews@Michael_Traikos Under the CBA, the top 10 teams in revenue contribute to the share pool.
7/10 are American teams.
Additionally, any playoff team is classified as a contributor and therefore doesn’t get revenue share.
Canes haven’t benefited from the revenue share since 2018.
@CatsandCanes@huhcloe You don’t get it! Watching them reload behind the net 800 times a period is so sick! Elite hockey! Only the best of the best on display here! As opposed to the disgusting evil boring canes hockey…
@spelunky_ Costs money to do the database lookup.
Chances that users will notice and care deeply about this for old tweets is low, cost savings to be had by not pulling the data until the user is interacting with old tweet.
Less data needs to be actively cached.
@Richicago1@MyFrontPageGift@ProducerDrew_ That’s a very silly difference to make. The poster was obviously referring to their active contract at the time of winning.
