I think you miss the point. People want their books with annotations, and they want their music, hence paying for it. What they don't want is to lose access to the goods which is what's happening. I admit I have no sympathy though, anyone who expects Microsoft to keep a product more than 5...

Great, so now my Macs can spam me about not being signed into OneDrive "for backups" as a security risk, just like my Windows PC does? Pass. Does it block watson.microsoft.com like my pihole does? Because I run 90% of my time on macOS, iOS and Playstation, yet my Windows development PC and...

1200/300 baud modem using tin, pine and lynx. Lynx to browse the web (it was great before flash became a thing) Pine for emails Tin to download porn, line by line at resolutions my 3x 4k displays probably wouldn’t even register >.<

So three things from me (FWIW) 1. Running Linux rather than Android (I applaud it for this) means that it's going to live or die by the software designed for it. I don't know how much lean-back style software there is for Linux but based on how hard Android TV stuff is to get already (most...

IKR, it's not like Microsoft has a history of repeatedly harassing users into installing Windows 10 in the dodgiest ways possible...

I’m sure they will, and it’ll be $39,000 for the base model (base model starting production 2023)* *note: base model pricing for headline grabbing only. No base model will be sold in your lifetime, but you’re dumb so you’ll defend us as affordable anyway

Unless I’m misunderstanding what Box is (cloud storage), no, he didn’t misunderstand. Offering a non password protected space to share files like this isn’t something I’d generally expect businesses to use, but here at least it seems like stupid business practices rather than any real fault of...

I’ll take neither hackers or Microsoft having my data, thanks.

Foxcon probably have some spare nets though

You forgot “this information will be used to lower your social score we’re going to introduce like China’s, or Canada’s systems”

You forgot the Battle Royale mode

Kathleen Kennedy still running the show.

So I pay for a service for 2 or 4 simultaneous streams but only I can watch all streams at the same time? Wut? Does that mean that me watching Netflix on my phone while on the road while my other half watches it at home is piracy? Is she the pirate, or me? How about if you charge $x for 2...

It was supposed to be fiction, not a guidebook :(

17ms latency on a VR headset is making my stomach churn already

Wow, that's a pretty mean thing to say about the Epic store.... Oh you meant Denuvo, easy mistake.

Sad truth there.

Becoming more efficient at mass murder (whether it be using planes or bombs) is not something the world should be striving towards, particularly when it's driven by the almighty dollar (which it ALL is)

Haha I it’s never growing to be the year of the Linux desktop, but I’m happy with it being even more of a viable alternative. I run macOS as a primary and laptop and play a majority of my games on Playstation (despite my 800 game Steam library), so I’m never going to be one of the cool kids no...

Lack of choice is never good for the consumer, if someone wants to pay for simplicity, supporting a brand or some value they feel they get (perceived better service) then let them. If they want the cheapest price possible then cool, offer that too. Epic knows that it has a mountain of Fortnite...

Sure, and for me it's great that they are, and I'll continue to support them despite 90% of my time on a PC (productivity and gaming) not being Windows or Linux

Sure, and if it took 5% it'd be even less of an issue, mostly because it wouldn't be there. Epic store is being funded entirely at this stage by Fortnite, and not off its own merits. We'll see how it goes in the long term when Fortnite gets replaced as the game du jour and it actually has to...

Seems to me that Linux gaming is doing far better than it has ever, more titles available (directly or via Proton) and the fact that it's not a shrinking market means it's hardly on its knees. I remember the first time I used Linux and the most impressive game you could get was Tux Racer, now I...

For me it’s not store worship, It’s that I’m sick of constantly fragmenting the market so some other greedy company (like Valve) can get a cut. Steam is the entrenched and I’m fine with it as an app, functionality, price etc. I don’t want a launcher for every damn game I have all with it’s own...

So why not continue to sell it on Steam for $40 and let the market decide? Oh, because you’re cool gamer people too, not because buckets of Epic cash... uh huh.

Anyone got a good pihole filter list to block all their telemetry and site, including all cdns?

Those sorts of statements are just a conspiracy to diminish conspiracy theorists in the eyes of the public.

They've already got the fist in, might as well go elbow deep!

Still not going to use Chrome

I found Andromeda boring, added in with the BioWare fighting with the community over political correctness makes me regret the $20 I paid for it. Anthem so far to me feels like 3rd person Destiny 2 and I’m all Destiny’d out (played and loved the first, 2 just felt like the 1st’s late game loot...

I have family that live in SA, assuming they have power (whole state blacked out a couple of years ago), anyone living in Elizabeth / Smithfield who has a high power draw house that *doesnt* expect to have SAPol kick their door in is probably dumb enough to think they’re going to get an ROI on...

Hit nearly 118 deg F (47.6 deg C) the other day and yes, most expensive power in the world in South Australia

It’s weird to me that so many here are for (directly or indirectly) having more drink drivers on the road. Over here you can and will be breathalysed at any time (including any crashes where police attend) and if you’re over the 0.05 limit you’re given 15 minutes before a retest, fail again and...

Coming from a country with lots of land mass and terrible internet full of data caps and where 5mbit for 90% of users is considered a target, I have to agree. I’ve tried streaming via my Shield, it connected once out of the dozen or so times I tried it and even then it was a laggy, glitchy mess...

Sure, would you pay $500k a year in rent on Main Street in Shoppingsville or $200k a year in rent in that new community an hours drive outside of town where there’s far less foot traffic? You’re going to piss off your customers because they need to drive 40 miles to your store but at least you...

Correct, FaceTime can be used audio only or audio & video. Terrifying bug, at least Apple responded immediately and disabled FaceTime Groups (I don't believe you can exploit this bug anymore even if it's enabled on your handset?) until a fix can be developed. They have had a few security...

I guarantee 99.9% of the outraged didn’t even buy the game or the DLC, it’s just another platform for them to be outraged about which is all they seem to care about. Putting gay characters in the game in the first place was nothing but pandering to the vocal minorities narrative so they didn’t...

Butthurt..... gay... come on, I can't be the only one.. Yeah but breeding requires a very specific allocation of genders to work or it did until a few years ago when people just started making them up. Am I allowed to call them people still or do they prefer something else? Gender has...

I gave up on Ghostery after they got bought by an advertising company, and ABP after they were rumoured to be taking payments to allow "safe" ads. I don't know whether either resulted in a genuine risk, but I stick with UBO and Privacy Badger now, plus PiHole going to Cloudflare for my DNS. Also...

Noob question, why is the Intel i740 description blurred out?
