goat Official Nintendo Switch Thread

All that I noticed was that his Macbook was filthy Freaking clean your machine before shooting a youtube video at the least -
Dude, I said there are a lot of reasons for women to be under represented including conscious choice, societal factors etc. You need to realize that women were encouraged to not even enter the job market 50 years back. The paradox warns about drawing statistical inferences, but the issue here is a lot more complicated. The paygap is an outcome of having treated women as outsiders or second class citizens for a major part of the history. You need to account for that before assuming its just the paradox.

I work at a similar firm that takes conscious decision to be more inclusive. It's great that your employer is doing the same. My point was that we cannot generalize our personal experience and assume all sectors operate this way. That's pretty much what I was trying to get to especially since data suggests otherwise. If we were to check the list of richest folks in the world/CEOs of fortune 500 companies, we will know the reality. It's difficult for the current generation that we have grown up in to even imagine that women had to fight for their right to work/vote all but 50-60 years back in even the so called developed nations.

The gap may not be very evident in your firm, but the gender gap very much exists. My company that has equality as one of it's core values only has 1/3rd of female employees in leadership roles. You can find more details here: https://www.salesforce.com/company/equality/ There are a lot of factors that contribute to the gender gap including the choice of stream for higher studies, what roles/jobs the society deems as fit for women etc. Even in extremely progressive countries like UK where the government takes a proactive role in addressing this, the gap very much exists even today. We are probably oblivious to this being men, as it never even occurs to us. I did my bachelors from one of the tier 1 institutes and we had a boy/girl ratio of 10:1 and my stream was one of the better ones. In the team of 10 odd engineers I lead in my company, there is but a single woman. With such low representation, it would not be surprising if they are paid lower than their peers.
-
It is not a US only thing. It is prevalent everywhere and is probably not getting flagged enough in India because the percentage of women in high paying salaried jobs such as IT (my domain) is still extremely low.

If we folks stop responding to the posts by Radical/Ank, they won't have any motive to go on. As long someone tries to argue/point out something, this tirade will continue. -

Steam games can potentiall work on Windows, Linux and/or Mac. But this varies on a case by case basis. SteamOS (Linux) compatibile games will only work on Deck. Windows and Mac ones will not work. The certification has three levels iirc. - Verified: games that work great and have been officially tested will have verified badge. When you search or load steam on deck, only these games will show up. -Playable: games that require some custom optimizations like tweaking controller settings etc will have a yellow badge. Some features of deck like controller may not work ootb. You can change your store settings to make these games visible on your deck. - Unplayable: Mostly games that do not have SteamOS compat/VR only etc

Any idea where I can get a Dyson V11 in Bangalore? Seems to be out of stock everywhere -
Dated games don't matter only if your console can't play them. You'll be surprisrd at the sheer number of games that don't need remaster or remakes on PC just cos you can mod the crap out of them to make them look modern. The entire remaster/remake argument purely exist in context of consoles. They tend to get released on PC, cos why not? You can always milk a cash cow. Some publishers just tend to offer free upgrades to PC cos they know that charging full price again for a pure visual/fps boost wont fly with the PC crowd.

Cos you posted it here PC is still a superior gaming device when compared to any console any day. You aint win that argument no matter what. What do you mean by a device that has everything? Consoles suck balls as afar as real time strategy games are concerned. And remember backwards compat? I can play games ranging all the way back to 80s to the latest games and even play PS games from previous generations that PS4/PS5 can't. You should seriously stick to the PS vs Xbox thread. You are out of the water here ?

Flawed argument. PC is way better than consoles for anyone who is purely into MP gaming as well. Sure, PS has a lot of great quality single player games, but if you don't care about them, PC is def better any day. Choose high res or high fps depending on what you want. And not having to play for MP is a boon. Not to mention regional pricing assuming you are okay with the upfront investment.

Credit Card - Help & Recommendations
l33tmaniac replied to El Tigre Chino's topic in General Chatter
That's a lot for emergency funds in liquid cash man. I agree to your point about FD, but honestly, my cards give me a limit of 10-12L each. Having another 15L on top of it sounds overkill considering i can swipe the cards. I mean, I am still a salaried guy. Makes sense for me to think about my retirement and invest instead. -

Well, that's not what folks here argue about right? As long as there are frame drops in XSX, Mark Cerny's brilliance will continue to shine through The mode never matters. -
PlayStation vs Xbox vs Nintendo thread
l33tmaniac replied to kmkaks's topic in News, Rumours and Discussions
Both PS5 and Series X cannot lock to 60fps, with drops into the low 50s and even the high 40s during combat and other alpha-heavy moments. Series X seems to have fewer drops than PS5, but it's surprising to see these issues at all when resolution has been cut back so dramatically. *Eating popcorn* -
Planning to wall mount my C9. Any recommendations for the wall mount? Or should I just ask the LG guy to bring one? Also, if the LG guys delay, does it make sense to use Urban Company?
