Not to be that guy who defends Ubisoft (God knows I haven’t bought one of their games in ages), but that quote from the CEO is taken way out of context.
He was directly asked what would need to happen for game streaming to take off, and he responded with “players would need to get used to no longer owning their games”, which is pretty much true as far as answers to that question go.
That’s not Amazon’s fault.
That’s mostly the fault of consumers who buy from Amazon (and other e-tailors).
There’s quite a few retail stores that don’t keep inventory, even for common things. Staples comes to mind, where it feels like half their damn office items aren’t in stock, so you need to wait for them to have it brought in.
The problem is that those same retail stores can’t compete with Amazon’s shipping speed. It becomes a case of:
It’s alright if they don’t want to carry inventory, but they need to have the shipping speeds to compete, otherwise there’s no reason for the consumer not to just buy it off of Amazon directly.
I still don’t understand how anyone here (or on the internet in general, for that matter) is still asking “Is Elon stupid? Is he a moron?” in response to stuff like this.
Elon’s a jackass, but he clearly knows what he’s doing with this. He’s inciting political violence and then acting like it was an edgy joke as a way to give himself probable deniability. Dude’s an asshole, but he’s not literally brain dead.
I was having this discussion with a coworker after Apple’s event where they talked about their image scanning AI. Like, if someone takes a picture of me, and sends it to the AI’s servers, they’ll use it as training data, but I haven’t consented to it. So how does taking it down work?
It’s obviously a rhetorical question. They obviously won’t, and they’ll tell me to pound sand.
In this case, it seems like it’s the app makers themselves who are requiring the Play Store, though. Unless I’m misreading this, the developers are using the Integrity API to determine if the app was installed through “official channels” (in this case, the Play Store). Feels like people should be upset at the companies behind the apps, here.
I think “common” here would refer to having to produce them, over the actual explicitness of the scene. Whether Mass Effect fades to black or not isn’t really the point when the voice actors still have to record the lines that play while the screen is dark.
Yeah, what they’re asking for is pretty standard stuff in other media. A friend of mine is an actor who played a scene where he had to shoot a masturbation scene. He was alone in a room with like 3-4 people: sound guy, camera guy, director, and I think the intimacy coach was there too.
Having a whole team watch you pretend to have sex is not okay, what the hell.
Wake me up when the “Congress” actually decides to take actions not just ask “questions” after the damage is done and money is made.
Right. Into Cryo-Sleep you go, then!
The post made me look him up (it’s been years since I’ve seen him in anything) and I just learned that good ol’ Lyle McDouchebag was a voice actor in Class of '09. TIL.
Same. Elden Ring’s biggest weakness is its open world, in my opinion. It makes the first playthrough great, but it makes subsequent playthroughs a chore. Especially when you’re aware that 90% of dungeons/side areas have completely worthless gear and runes. Your subsequent runs just end up being you riding Torrent for long stretches of time from point A to point B.
While I agree with most of what you’re saying, it’s also stupid to blame Microsoft for breaking your computer if you forcefully uninstall the Windows store, despite the fact that it’s needed for parts of certain updates.
A lot of the “debloaters” have no fucking idea what they’re actually doing and are uninstalling/disabling critical parts of the OS so the task manager shows less RAM usage (because God forbid you actually use your damn RAM).
Probably wanted to bring it in line with the other perfumes. Rolling Sparks was completely busted lmao
Let’s be real, using Excel as a makeshift database is probably still better than actually using Access lol
We’re eating good in 2024!
Doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo, rii tii tii tiiiii
Hear me out: What if they took the DMs and made NFTs out of them?
I can finally share my side of the story now that Twitch employees have come forward. You see, all I did was indulge in a little bit of grooming. One might even say it was a minor case of grooming.
Anyways, I’m not a pedo.
Doc out!
Their outside communication is nonexistent at best
Eh, they’re decently active on Reddit, I guess. They send the occasional newsletter regarding new features if you don’t unsubscribe (and they’re pretty good at not spamming with those, imo).
development speed is unbearably slow
I see people say this all the time, and while feature updates are kind of slow, I’m also not lacking anything, personally. I would appreciate it if they smoothed-out SimpleLogin’s extension, though. That thing is weirdly clunky to use.
Agree on the Linux bit, though. I’m surprised they haven’t put more work into that.
Overall, I’ve been a happy customer for a few years, personally.
Disabling my watch history did the trick lol
YouTube’s recommendations are such absolute trash if you turn that off (I’m assuming intentionally, to get you to enable it).
Microsoft’s naming strategy is just the American Economics wheel from South Park, but with names on it. Of all the big tech companies, they are easily the fucking worst at naming shit.
