Really an odd stance from a company, that prides itself in security

How many more of these will it take, until people start looking for alternatives

While not wrong, let’s not pretend that their friends across the ocean aren’t doing the exact same thing. Practically everything Microsoft have acquired has either been shutdown, or crippled to the point where it’s unrecognizable

I’ll be real with y’all, a 50$ 4 hour tech demo just doesn’t appeal to me, especially in a world where the indie market is absolutely booming with phenomenal titles.

Sure, the first one was nice, but I never felt like I was so impressed by it, that i’d do it again.

Quite sad, but entirely unsurprising.

I loved Gothic to death, and 2 is my all-time favorite game, but after having their wrists slit by the publisher with Gothic 3, and everything happening after the release of that, I am not upset it’s over.

The quality of ELEX was miserably bad in every way imaginable, and it only got worse with ELEX2. Risen had great potential with the first game, but completely flopped it with the next two.

For a lack of a better expression, they were a one-trick pony, and rode that wave of success into their eventual grave.

I’m not sure how substantiated these claims are, but i’ve also heard that most of the original team have left years before the shutdown either way, so essentially, what was left of Piranha Byte is just a husk of what used to be

Read back what you just wrote, and go for a walk to let it brew for a bit.

Why the fuck would anyone slave their only life away, for any employer?

One head gets chopped off, two new ones spawn.

It’s always an issue of service. Make it more available. Adjust the price. Increase content availability. It’s not a rocket science problem, it’s just a problem of corporate greed, and law abuse

Pretty much every brand, that was doing business there before, does it the exact same way, but under a shell company name. Capitalism doesn’t give a fuck who’s doing what, and how wrong it is

Allowing these companies to ever sell anything with the “cloud” marketing was a colossal mistake. Not only it was a waste of people’s money, but now also e-waste

I genuinely dont know a single person who’s created a Threads account (usually through the instagram prompt), and continued using it since then

I genuinely dont understand how SEGA are still in business, after decades of being completely detached from reality

I’ve returned to the game too, after a fairly long break, and ended up settling on Thuldor’s preset. I love Simonrim, so it saved me the time on putting it together, but all the newest fixes/modernization efforts are there too. Strongly recommended. The leveling process is completely different, and that’s something I haven’t tried before. About 60 hours in, it’s really damn solid

Just yet another proof, that the more 0’s you have in your valuation, the less the laws apply to you

For quite a long time now, it’s been the case that if your vendor makes this hard as is, a carrier on top of that will make it considerably worse. As an example, take a look at older Samsung devices, that all needed special-tailored roms for each carrier variant

Being honest isn’t where the money is. Not reaching out towards that takes willpower, and strong principles

Quite a shame that the vast majority of people this video is targeted at will just not care. Especially in the US, or the UAE, if your Apple device breaks, you just get another Apple device, because it’s a status symbol.

On the topic of Marques though - I haven’t watched any of his stuff in quite a while, after I’ve had an eye-opened moment from his content. He would scald and roast companies that make mistakes, and make bad choices, but when Apple, or lets say Tesla, make the same mistake, he lets them off the hook. That’s not unbiased journalism at all.

OBS is practically the only sensible choice. Some people still use xsplit, for whichever reason, but good for them

We literally agree with each other, and yet you’re still arguing. The reason why it’s a scam, is because people sell it like some kind of a godsend, when it’s literally not used in the way it is intended to be used. When it is, that’s great. When it’s trained properly, that’s even better. But that’s not the reality

I chose those examples, because that’s what’s been heavily marketed recently, and it all either fundamentally failed, ended up being a scam, or both.

In contrast:

• devops is software automation practices…?
• edge computing is on-call load balancing? It’s horrendously expensive though, so i’ll give them time to figure it out
• IoT, admittedly, is largely oversold, but even then, there were a ton of products on the market that absolutely outlived all 3 of the examples i’ve given, combined. HomeAssistant+Zigbee home automation is awesome. A raspberryPi is “iot”. Your smartwatch is “iot”.

There’s a difference between cherry-picking, and refusing to accept that something is a scam. Crypto ended up begging for government regulation, when the original intention was to move away from it. NFTs are a pump-and-dump ponzi scheme. web3 literally doesn’t mean anything

I strongly believe that generative AI is catastrophically misused in the vast majority of its applications, so in my eyes, adding gpt-based AI to the browser is largely a wasted effort
