This is a weird take when "really rich guys doing depraved things" is a recurring villain trope across an awful lot of comic books and take up a huge portion of the narrative. Insane wealth is often framed so powerfully in these contexts that sometimes it can parallel superpowers.

The green goblin and doc oc are just really rich guys that do fucked up things! It's implies that spidey puts goons and henchmen into the justice system because of course he does, what else is he going to do? His other options are killing them or just letting them get away with whatever the insane rich guy wants to do, which is often some kind of terror attack on NYC. And those both suck too.

Spidey is too busy trying to literally prevent some business tycoon from idk opening a demon portal under central park to also advocate for prison reform.

Just let the stories be fun.

Boost this one to the top, it's the official reason given by sony. You can disparage it if you want, but it has technical merit. The audio codecs supported by mainstream bluetooth devices are meant for music, where you want the highest possible quality and can tolerate a slight delay between when you press play and when the music actually starts.

In video games this means you get a noticable delay on the audio. With classic video file playback like a movie, this can be compensated for by delaying the visuals so thay match up with the audio, but delaying the visuals in a video game is an even worse experience for the player.

Sony's use of a proprietary audio codec via their wireless controllers is pretty justified. They're able to optimize for latency and it shows (or rather, it doesn't, since you probably would never notice it).

what ops?

sounds like a question a fed would ask 👀

Generally I'd say they're one of the most dangerous things you could voluntarily run on your PC. As someone whose education and profession is in infosec, games are one of the things I refuse to pirate because the risk is just too high for me.

Just running an untrusted exe from a shady source is enough to make my hair stand on end but the idea of intentionally replacing low level hypervisor components makes me run away screaming.

FWIW, the type of games that require HV bypasses are ones that I would pass on because the "legitimate" DRM is basically equally as scary from a security perspective.

Everyone's risk tolerance is different though. 🤷‍♂️

They are and they must. There is no path forward that doesn't massively disinvest from personal vehicles.

this message is for investors, not gamers

dumb investors will be like "oh yay they're doing the tech hype fad thing that lets management do big layoffs and pump out content"

smart investors will be like "this will make the games worse"

by themselves? no. but as part of a complete breakfast?

Well, when a man and a woman love each other very much... they can visit each other in the hospital when they're sick. For example.

they might crater the economy so badly that it wipes out a ton of carbon use and buys the rest of the world some more time (albeit probably along with millions of people starving to death, akin to Mao's famine)

considering that Altman made exclusivity deals with RAM vendors not because he needs that much memory but because he wanted to deny it to his competition, yes, exactly

Yeah no, applications need to be secure by default. Blaming the user does nothing to actually improve the security posture anywhere. The security posture of the app needs to be specifically designed with the least-skilled users in mind because they are also the most vulnerable to this type of problem. Google meanwhile is full of talented engineers who are experts at identifying and combatting this type of malware scam.

To look at it another way, what google is actually doing here is intentionally exposing their users to malware in order to take a cut in the form of advertising revenue.

The units are wrong but the ratio is completely credible when you consider how the US has been intercepting drones

yeah this is exactly how it works for "self-driving" cars: https://gmauthority.com/blog/2023/11/cruise-av-operations-require-1-5-remote-employees-per-vehicle-report-claims/

Mac OS wishes it was as usable as gnome.

This is intended as an insult for both.

recurring cost to rent a multiplayer server though, maybe that was it
