  • For AI stuff you’d want something with at least an RTX 4060. AMD GPUs for laptops are not great and most of them don’t support AI. Any card that’s good for AI will also be good for gaming so you’ll be fine there.

    You probably want something with 32gb of ram, too.

    As for pulling out the wifi card, there’s no need. Most laptops let you disable wifi through the BIOS, completely disabling it at a system level.

    Dual booting works on anything.

    Generally I’d recommend Lenovo Legions, ASUS ROG stuff. If you’re rich you can also look into Razer I guess.









  • It depends on what you mean by piece of technology I guess, since what we have now is a culmination of thousands of awesome tech over the last few hundred years.

    If I were to choose one thing, I’d say the telephone. It’s the predecessor to the internet, and suddenly communication between people was instant rather than messages that’d take forever (or morse for the places that had it).

    It probably changed the world forever, being able to talk to someone in a completely different country and share something quickly.


  • Because they were getting really stale and they wanted to hold onto the franchise name anyways. People are nostalgic now, but when AC games were coming out back to back people were getting really bored of it.

    When Assassin’s Creed 3 came out, everyone was saying how this is the third time they remade what is basically the same game (AC2, brotherhood, revelations, then 3). People weren’t impressed. Unity and Rogue didn’t sell that well. Syndicate apparently also didn’t sell very well.

    So they basically remade the franchise into an RPG starting from Origins. They aren’t that special, but honestly, neither was everything after Revelations.






  • People that have this opinion often only play AAA games. There are a lot of indie games that channel old-school game energy and improve upon them. Shovel Knight for example is a lot better than old platformers wish they were. A Hat in Time is a ton of fun compared to the vast majority of PS2/Gamecube 3D platformers. Hollow Knight is better than any Metroid game (I know a lot of people would disagree, though).
