I think it blatantly showcases how backwards our reality has become. Sure you could say you could get something very similar for roughly the same. I would even say you can pretty easily find something a little better for that money but you could also get something much better for roughly the same years ago.

The specs look horrendously bad for the price if you happen to be someone who upgraded just 2 or 3 years ago but the reality is that we won't get anything nearly as good as back then for a somewhat acceptable price for a very long time. 6 months from now the price could actually start to seem a little low and I wish I was kidding.

I genuinely think Valve tried their best but it still feels like a slap in the face by AI companies.

I will say that "tiny form factor" shifts the goal post here a little. I do agree that's probably the one and only real selling point for the Gabecube. But why wait months until it arrives instead of buying something now that's basically just as good for the same price? Does it really have to be that small and quiet at all cost? It's a tiny niche, frankly. And whether you use DDR4 or DDR5 has very little impact on low range machines from my experience.

This is the only plausible prediction for AAA gaming. They'll go full cloud gaming. None of the computing will be done in your living room or even your phone anymore because the little hardware that consumers will be allowed to own is going to be too shitty to do anything meaningful. Inputs will be send to the server and the server streams frames back. That's it. No ownership. No control. But full surveillance.

EA is toast. They got bought out and loaded with debt they could never pay by operating normally. Stake holders got a nice golden parachute before the company is being sold for parts.

Sure:

Unfortunately, many if not most manufacturers already switched to BPS and BPF which are essentially the same.

I heard from a pool guy on Youtube that this is pretty normal after a full refill during a warm, rainy period. He also explained ways how they're likely getting getting rid of the algae. So yeah, this seems to be part of the process more or less but of course it's still not a good look. This swamp looking pond may not reflect the beautiful sky right now but it reflects Donnie's politics perfectly.

Kinda dumb for rich people to brag about education when education is directly tied to wealth.

No doubt there are bad actors polluting communities on the Fediverse as well and I'm not feeling quite as optimistic as the author here. But they're absolutely right about the corporate side of the internet. The mainstream that is controlled by the rich and driven by greed. You need FOSS to have at least a good base you can build on top of. Profit oriented platforms have failed us as a society.

Let me guess he doesn't like Republicans because of their racism against himself specifically but he's totally down to hating other minorities all the same.

Newsflash: Queer rights are human rights, smart ass! We're in this together. Well, not you. You can eat shit, Dave.

Took 'em long enough to figure this out. I'm happy.

Such a hassle when Xitter is right there and lets them spread propaganda without any hacking.

in America, apparently if you crime hard enough and big enough they stop putting you in prison and start patting you on the back and calling it good business sense.

There's a story about Alexander the great capturing a pirate and scolding him for raiding villages along the coast line. Alexander asked if the pirate feels ashamed and wants to beg for forgiveness. However, the pirate had something else to say. He said that Alexander was doing the same thing, but infinitely worse. The only difference was that Alexander called himself king and plundered entire lands while the pirate only raided small villages. The pirate reminded Alexander of the many lives he had destroyed in his conquest. So the pirate's only crime was not to be the biggest baddie in the hood, so to speak.

Alexander replied by stating that the title of king forces his hand and that he couldn't just stop what he was doing. The pirate on the other hand was just an individual who could easily change course. And so Alexander set the pirate free, stating that he himself will start changing his own ways right there and then if the pirate makes a fresh start first.

I don't know if there is any truth to this but it's a fable often used to explain how legitimacy changes the perception people have of wrong doing and heroism on a fundamental level. Alexander's reply sounds like an excuse and I think that's on purpose. The pirate outwitted him in the end by stating a basic truth.

The line has to go up. That is literally the law. The fact that Youtube has a larger income than Disney doesn't mean it will stop. They can never stop. They just can crash and burn down eventually but only after making a few people very very rich.

It's funny. The conservatives and the far right that a lot of people in Germany voted for demonized these things and now many of those voters want it to because it works. Kinda awkward, when your ideology is in the way of a better life for everyone, isn't it?

It has been out of stock since Christmas or something. At least here. I guess they just can't produce any for a decent price anymore. Pretty sure that goes for most manufacturers. It's the reality we live in now. Still a bonkers price for hardware that was considered somewhat outdated 5 years ago. The Steam Machine for under $1k feels like a pipe dream at this point.

Huh. They unionized before GTA 6 came out. Hope this can extend to the people that got fired over this.

Napoleon. Yes, it's a little oversimplified but that man really shaped Europe and Germany with it.

It seems to me not even profits matter to them. Just control and power.
