- If you want to run Borderlands 4 at higher than 1080p at a reasonable frame rate, you are almost required to own an RTX 5090. (Tom's Hardware)
Borderlands 3 meanwhile will run just fine on an RTX 5050.
Nvidia has published an optimisation guide that consists entirely of improving performance by making the game look like a dog had diarrhea all over the texture maps.
With the same hardware Borderlands 3 looks far better while also performing better. Not a direct comparison, but so does Cyberpunk 2077, even with ray tracing enabled to increase the load on the GPU.

- React won by default. (Loren Stewart)
If you wonder why this is a bad thing - particularly if you don't know what React is - imagine if 98% of cars sold were the Ford Escort, even in 2025, simply because it was the default car.
- China says Nvidia violated antitrust regulations. (Tech Crunch)
Did it? Did it, indeed?
Specifically related to its 2020 acquisition of networking company Mellanox.

So what I'm hearing is that if I lose my mind in a few years, and decided to develop on the desktop in Javascript, not only do I want to use Tauri instead of electron, I want to use svelte and or one of these others instead of react.
(But, my most recent possibility for the future seriously considered was a defense contractor who wants Matlab, Python, and C++. I have one of these down okayish, I have a tool chain and instructions for another, but the third is one I am LoL. I am also pretty sure I am missing important parts of the basic software engineering skillset. So I am probably not going to start developing in Javascript on the desktop, at least not tomorrow.)

normal - I know exactly why you're asking. Locomotion was first recorded in 1962, Chirpy in 1970.
