Enhance, embrace, extinguish. That's the Microsoft way, their success has always and will always be built off the backs of others they've fucked over.

Hmmm it's almost like Jim Ryan was on to something when he said gamepass wasn't good for the industry and publishers didn't like it during the antitrust trial with Microsoft.

It blows my fucking mind how stupid some people are just to be able to play the next rehashed bullshit CoD on gamepass instead of paying $70 a year for the same garbage.

Come on now, that's not just a Google problem and you know it, no need to shit on Google for something damn near every tech company does. Google does their fair share of shitty things, this isn't really one of them.

Well isn't that what FOSS provides for us thought? The ability to control everything the software does and we own the content being shown. If we choose to block that content then that's our right, if threads chooses to allow everything under the sun there's nothing we can do about it but wait for Facebook to do it for us.

This is why the whole situation exists, IMO if there was a reason to believe China is trying to influence united states citizens, then this wouldn't even be a discussion. There are probably hundreds of Chinese companies that operate in the US, why is tik tok signaled out? Because there's probably a reason they're being singled out. It might be nothing, but I'm inclined to think that the people who signed the bill know more than what they're letting on for national security reasons.

Make it open source and don't charge for a "premium" version when it's fully released that will hamstring your capability if you don't pay.

Both versions were tested on Steam Deck OLED models with no CryoUtilities and a UMA Buffer set to 1G (default).

No, just no, I hate testing like this, it's not a stock deck with the 1G uma buffer, it's just not, and the OLED deck is already known to be more power efficient and has a small fps improvement due to that power efficiency. They should be testing with the middle ground LCD deck with no buffer modifications and then test with modifications to see the difference.

I want this to take off but unfortunately it won't. Nothing ever comes of these kinds of things and this is no different.

I feel like I'm the only one even remotely interested in this game. Does it look like watch dogs in space? Yes, but I for one enjoyed watch dogs for what it brought to the table. I've been dying to play a star wars game that doesn't involve a Jedi as the main character, so this game is right up my alley. It's Ubisoft so I'm very skeptical though and cautiously optimistic.

The steam deck is also the reason why we're hearing so much about an Xbox handheld/hybrid. OEM partners are screaming at Microsoft to make a mobile UI because they want their products to sell and they don't want to spend the r&d to develop one. Steam deck is already crushing it's competition even when it's using an older chipset and less powerful hardware due to the ease of use of the product.

Valve struck gold in a product market that has predominantly been high priced mobile PC's from companies like GDP, largely due to the fact that they have no obligations on licensing costs and are using their own OS. I wouldn't put past Microsoft to try and capitalize on ARM and the handheld market at the same time and push out some ARM based Xbox handheld that's capable of XCloud streaming and x86/ARM compatibility to fight Apple and Valve. Of course this also means anti cheat makers will need to build compatibility into their products for those handhelds, or else Microsoft will have the same problem Valve has with SteamOS.

A link to the past for sure, it's one of the greatest games of all time. My favorite modern Zelda is skyward sword, the dungeons in that game were so well crafted it's insane the amount of effort and detail they contain. Least favorite has got to be breath of the wild, it's a wonderful open world game, but an absolutely horrible Zelda game.

You completely miss my point, are you saying data such as copyrighted published works and medical records are free? Because I did not in any way consent to sharing medical records to OpenAI https://www.businessinsider.com/openai-chatgpt-generative-ai-stole-personal-data-lawsuit-children-medical-2023-6?op=1

Now I realize this is an alleged offense, but it's still fucked up. As for wanting to be the first to make a LLM, I have no desire to put myself into that amount of responsibility and liability. Sam Altman is chasing money and nothing more.

I fucking hate how this company is just taking data and metrics without any permissions and repercussions. OpenAI and Sam Altman can fuck right off. Same with Microsoft and copilot and every other company rushing for the AI/ML arms race, its disgusting and irresponsible.

We joke about skynet and terminators and whatnot, but the reality is OpenAI is legitimately moving towards that end with no safety precautions, no thought put into the economic and humanitarian impacts they're going to cause. Capitalism in general (and yes I'm going to be that guy and say it) simply cannot survive the AI/ML age of humanity without evolving.

Very stock Android, but they use older hardware for these phones and it shows. I had a moto g power, at one point it had to install updates and when it rebooted it sat at a blank home screen for ten minutes before showing any icons. I ditched Android altogether and went iPhone, but I heard really good things about pixel phones, so I switched back and gave my old phones to my kids.

I really really like proton pass, was using Google password manager prior but I primarily use Firefox and Firefox's password syncing is just bad. Proton pass has been a surprisingly reliable password manager.

No worries, it's an understandable mistake.

A VM and a container are two completely different pieces of technology...

Have you ever tried to setup a Windows container let alone one on an Xbox? Even Microsoft knows windows containers are fucking shit, just look at azure Linux, it's the entire reason for it's existence

You're getting down voted but in all honesty, you're not wrong. All it takes is one x86/64 alternative to show the world that Intel and AMD aren't the only players in the game. Apple did it with ARM and the m1 chip, now we're hearing reports of Microsoft actually putting a real effort into ARM and making their own chips for AI instead of that half-assed Windows on ARM initiative. I for one love this competition, because that only benefits the consumers.

If those concession discussions fail then you sue and have more leverage in your case I guess. Either way, it's a fair criticism IMO, and for the record I'm not really a right leaning individual, I just think she's jumping into lawsuits without doing her homework first.
