And every time you do, the next shit has a harder time sticking.
Stadia was doomed from the start because nobody was willing to commit to it in fear of Google killing it, and that meant it wouldn’t get enough users and would get killed.
So this is why they want that browser integrity stuff.
Without the integrity a change like this would be absolutely wonderful - my ad interests would be “FuckOff” and “Nothing”.
Currently you don’t.
The real underlying issue for this all is that the “Hot” sorting algorithm Lemmy (and Kbin) uses is terrible - if someone posts the same thing in 5 different big & popular (i.e “hot”) communities at the same time, there’s a good chance you’ll see all those five posts all next to each other on your feed even if one has 100 votes and the others have 30 - note how they are all “6 hours ago”.
There actually are updates to it as for the last three years Microsoft has continued to patch it under the commercial “Extended Security Update” program - that only ended in January 2023.
You just couldn’t get them as a home user without doing a lot of tweaking on your own.
Because why not, maybe someone will buy it from you as they don’t know better, and you cash in the profit. It doesn’t cost anything to post something on eBay after all.
Some of them don’t even have the thing in the first place, if someone buys the listing they go get one from Amazon or a local shop and send it.
If you actually want to know what people are willing to pay for something though, look at the completed auctions.
Ah, the Desire Z was amazing. Used to play doom and pokemon in it as well, the keyboard worked great as a controller.
Because when you are giant studio using Unreal Engine there really is no excuse for poor performance or porting. But when you are a (relatively to Epic or Sony/Microsoft etc) a tiny team building a game using the engine you came up with yourself with its roots somewhere around 2010-ish , back when 6 cores was a brand new thing and have been tweaking it ever since, you do get some slack if it doesn’t multithread perfectly.
Also it’s a Larian game, so not only will it have all the thousands of bugs fixed (literally, the first patch had over a thousand fixes), you’ll probably get the Extended Enhanced Definitive Divine Edition that rewrites half the quests and adds a bunch of new ones.
Countless services exist where you can buy captcha solving, though currently it’s done by actual humans in developing countries for tiny pay. Yet another job that’s going to soon be replaced by AI, though this time it almost certainly will result in some people starving to death.
But there would be no-one to do so. In a copyrightless world George R.R Martin would need to have another job to pay the bills and wouldn’t be able to dedicate his time for writing, and HBO or anyone else pouring massive amounts of money to create shows also wouldn’t be able to exist as they would gain no profit from what they do as their creations would also be in the public domain. Unless you live in an utopia with universal income and replicators that completely eradicate any need for money or ownership of anything, copyright itself as a concept is vital, the issue is just how corrupted the current system has become - which is mostly due to the greed of Disney.
To give an example, if all books were automatically public domain HBO could have created Game of Thrones without paying George R.R. Martin a single cent for it, then publish and sell “Game of Thrones: The Book”, aka the entire Song of Ice and Fire series, again without paying him anything and stealing all of his profit in the process.
As someone who just upgraded from a setup with a GTX 1060 and a 1440p monitor to a 3060 TI - which is something like 25% faster than the RX 6600 - I would suggest getting something a bit faster if at all possible. The RX 6600 is still a pretty good card for 1080p, but the extra resolution is a bit too much with most newer games. Though if you are okay dropping to medium settings or utilizing upscaling it won’t matter as much.
Not yet. But mysk has said he wants to make X like WeChat, which has payment and sending money as one of the key features.
It’s should to be close enough, the spec is called sensitivity (SPL) and most headphone manufacturers try to hit around 100dB/mW.
Hopefully the setting would allow you to fine tune it based on what headphones you have.
If the service is decent enough with servers close by, it really isn’t bad at all. In a PCgamer test, the input latency for Metro Exodus and Destiny 2 went from 46ms and 51ms local to 96ms and 75ms from GeForce Now, and 179ms and 129ms from Stadia.
For comparison, back when Tekken 7 was released on the PS4, it had 120ms of input lag.
Usually they don’t. Something like Horizon Forbidden West credits almost 3500 people even though Guerilla Game has less than 500 employees, most of the rest is absolutely massive bloat from different outsourced teams and Sony departments - like the “Head of Opportunity Markets Business Operations Tim Stokes from Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc.: Global Business Operations” was undoubtedly very important for the development of the game.
As for Baldurs Gate 3, Larian Studios currently has 450 employees in 6 different locations, so they are actually around the same size as Guerilla. I wouldn’t be surprised if the credits end up being well above a thousand people (D:OS2 has around 500 credits even though Larian back then had only 130 people).
Youtube knows I have subscribed to 515 channels, I have liked 2364 videos and favourited 685. It already floods the recommended videos with others based on "Users who follow\ enjoy videos of ".
They for sure do not require my watch history to be able to recommend videos to me.
The Java Team posted that they would be leaving and stopping official communications on reddit.
Because that idiot gave them 44 billion for it.
The first Fallout barely had anything, but Fallout 2 sure is something else having specific perks, traits and statistics about sex, a bunch of people you can have sex with and some you can get pregnant, and you can work as a prostitute or a porn actor. Or force some of your companions to do so.
