That’s giving them too much credit. I think they want it to be theirs.

At some point, these are going to be too big for motherboards. I wonder what mounting solution is next. Would positioning them outside the case with a ribbon cable be a problem timing wise?

This is why we need machine guns. Imagine trying to get all 100 with a semi auto rifle. I think you’d get maybe 10 before you get mobbed by raccoons.

There are pictures and ads in a newspaper. This is much more minimalistic.

Driverless cars can work if enough vehicles are replaced with them. I agree that a few driverless cars in a sea of regular drivers is not optimal though.

I’d rather a simpler phone at this point. I don’t think I’ve ever looked at my phone and felt that it’s too small. I can think of other ways that I’d want phones to be more functional, like connecting to external peripherals and a monitor.

Lots of people are excited about folding phones too though, so more power to them if companies are willing to go that way.

For a $100k device, I would expect better long term support.

But the steam network is still around. When steam actually shuts down and no longer has the infrastructure to provide downloads for games, I have no idea what their plan is. They hypothetically could provide a way to remove the DRM, but I doubt that it’s something the publishers of games would allow.

Do linux and privacy focused consumers actually make up a large portion of their market share? Linux users still make up a small portion of desktop users, and not even all of those really care much about privacy.

I admit that I’m skeptical since everyone is a node. It probably is fine, but I don’t know the risks that I take by volunteering as a node. I thought that VPNs can be fine as long as they don’t store logs, but I could be mistaken.

Where do we draw the line for “rich people?” You can’t just have a system where you can hurt and steal as much as you want from rich people. What you’re describing is closer to a revolution, and carrying that idea to its conclusion usually involves a ton of bloodshed and putting new people in power who are just as bad.

Yeah I have no sympathy for advertisers, but this seems like it’s pretty clearly fraud.

I like using Bitwarden since it lets me input passwords for various apps on my phone as well as my other devices. Using one built into your browser seems fine as long as the passwords are stored securely.

I thought that most people from here are just from various influxes of redditors.

Somehow I had a way harder time with Elden Ring than Dark Souls 1 or 2, but difficulty is a bit subjective.

I’m suing you for cheating.

I think it would be easier for indie devs to keep cost down. They have fewer devs and artists on payroll. The issue with triple A games is that they’re super expensive to produce, and small teams can output excellent work as well.

They kind of have to be about making money. No company survives by putting the needs of the customer above all else, unfortunately.

Fair point, but it probably always will. That’s almost the point of the military: to be a threat to anyone who is against the interests or safety of a nation. I think modern technology has made them an even greater threat to anyone’s existence than ever before though.

I think publishers value the fact that steam is essentially a form of DRM, so we got fairly lucky all things considered. Imagine if steam didn’t exist and we had to deal with software like Uplay and Origin.
