I was having this chat with a mate

Surely once you’ve got a PC that can handle ray tracing, will you ever need an upgrade?

I know there will be upgrades, but like you say, it’ll cost more, be less energy efficient, for smaller incremental improvements

Surely we must be nearing the sweet spot at which the improvements start to be in energy efficiency as well as the continual graphical improvements

Could be a cultural thing, I’ve never known anyone talk like that except for US tv series and movies. In the UK at least, talking like that would be seen as incredibly rude. You would however say “does anyone have a torch?” In a very demanding way which wouldn’t be seen as rude.

The “I need a flashlight” comes across as “I’m going to wait here until someone brings me a torch, whereas it’d be phrased as a question in the UK
