Yet unlike the PlayStation hardware, they spent absolutely nothing on hardware research and development.

So the only cost is what they may have spent to have studios develop PC ports. Even then it’s minimal compared to the past with all the console hardware being x86 based and effectively just semi-custom PC hardware to begin with.

Don’t know. That’s not my specialty.

But it’s definitely not by compromising everyone’s privacy and forcing them to identify themselves because the government wants to be able to identify everyone everywhere at all times and uaing children as the excuse like they always do.

At the expense of everyone’s privacy even if you don’t participate in the loot box economy, because you know the laws won’t be written for only if you access them it’ll be a blanket requirement. That’s not the way to get rid of loot boxes.

I never said it was a requirement. I said nepotism implies being unqualified.

Nepotism indirectly implies that they’re not qualified for the job and are relying on those connections to get there.

I have done absolutely zero research on the topic, but there’s a chance that he actually is capable of doing it well. I’ll withhold judgement until we see how incompetent he is. Shouldn’t take long with Ubisoft.

There are hosts and nameservers located in countries that don’t give a fuck about companies like Nintendo.

In fact, the recent backlash about everything being hosted in the US has started to make this even easier as companies in other countries are stepping in to grab market share as companies look to flee US hosting.

Selling more than the WiiU is a very low bar.

It just needs to be the way Android works from that point forward, not something optional. If they want to have an Android phone, with the play store, and everything that comes with the ecosystem, that’s what they have to do. Manufacturers never want to change what they do.

Android needs to modularize itself more and separate the core OS from manufacturer changes, carrier changes, etc.

Judges will often comment specifically in cases like this when decisions are made based on the very specific details of a case versus general case law that might form a general precedent in the future.

At this point you might as well just assume the CEO of any large company is a piece of shit until proven otherwise.

This is exactly the type of shit I’ve been trying to explain to the Linux fanboys for years and all of them dismiss outright.

Until simple shit like this is easy for the average person, Linux will never replace Windows as a default OS option for regular users. 99% of people are scared of config files and the terminal, and they’re still just too commonly needed in every distro.

A LOT of work has been done to minimize it, but there’s always still basic functionality that just isn’t in the GUI. That’s not an issue for most of us here… But it is for most people. Fediverse users are a small minority.

I’ve been extremely satisfied both with the 9070XT that replaced my old RTX 3080, and the Arc A310 in my media server. Both have worked flawlessly, and with Optiscaler, native DLSS/FSR/XeSS support doesn’t really matter anymore, you can just use whatever regardless of your hardware, and add FG if you want to anything.
