And especially for the things that there are potentially thousands of on screen. And especially for things that are semi complex models. And especially for things that are small at a distance....

I feel like at this point Muskys strategy with X is "well I own a software company now so we'll just make all the software" with literally zero understanding of the context or how that must work.

I think it's pretty telling in some of his comments about "well my space x engineers flew a rocket so they should know how to make a social media better than Twitter employees" as if those skills translate whatsofuckingever.

He has no idea how different types of software work, the context in which they'll be used, and has no fucking clue that you can't just upend the entire global financial institutions. But his devs flew a rocket so they should be able to drive a car, write social media software, write banking software, etc because those are all just easier.

It's a dogwhistle for jigaboo

Long story short, you have a shallow perception of the world, and you seem to want your games to be also as shallow. Something causes you to see these effects when they're on an LCD screen, but not in the real world, and the disconnect bothers you.

Or you just have some narrow perception of the world where you think games only do this in places where it would actually happen. There are literally 3rd person games that have this. But I'm sure uhh, let's see here.... Yeah it's a camera is following you around and that camera has a lens with poor chromatic abberation. Yup. That's it.

Get off your fucking high horse.

I still don't understand the English insistence on borrowing words from other languages, yet refusal to standardize spelling into ways that actually make sense within the language.

So I still blame English for being silly with their transliteration.

Exactly.

But people are hell bent on "Google doing this, bad".

By that argument, it's been on their road map since before Vista. So that's not really any "news" at this point.

So then Google just refuses to play the video until the appropriate time expires. Or they embed it in the video feed itself. There are more ways around this than you're making there out to be.

It's not even a hoop. It's a slight side step. And they wouldn't be breaking anymore of your privacy. They'd still know you're not loading ads.

That indicated they were tracking subscriptions....

And everyone jumped to the conclusion that it was to Windows. Because that made a better story than Xbox, Office, or any of the other products Microsoft makes.

Turns out, it wasn't Windows after all.

This whole thread is a whole lot of hullabaloo about complaining about legality about the way YouTube is running ad block detection, and framing it as though it makes the entire concept of ad block detection illegal.

As much as you may hate YouTube and/or their ad block policies, this whole take is a dead end. Even if by the weird stretch he's making, the current system is illegal, there are plenty of ways for Google to detect and act on this without going anywhere remotely near that law. The best case scenario here is Google rewrites the way they're doing it and redeploys the same thing.

This might cost them like weeks of development time. But it doesn't stop Google from refusing to serve you video until you watch ads. This whole argument is receiving way more weight than it deserves because he's repeatedly flaunting credentials that don't change the reality of what Google could do here even if this argument held water.

If thats how it works, they could very easily just check if the ad ever got loaded and refuse to serve you content until it does. Going after the way they prevent people from abusing their services doesn't stop them from preventing them - it just gives them a new hurdle and that's not a very big one.

It sounds like you're not from the US. Our consumer protection services ara a joke. You're more likely to solve the problem by yelling into a pillow than complaining to US consumer protection.

Counter counter rant: both can be true.

Just because there's a workaround doesn't mean there isn't a problem.

The rumor of Windows going subscription based is so cooked. There's no way that happens. It's a shitty rumor based on huge speculation that already has better explanations.

Search only feels better in 11 because 10s was so bad. Both of them are pretty bad.

That's not even a selling point to an android dev. Android emulators already run, and give a better simulation of a physical device. The only reason it'd be useful for android dev is if you're actually developing an APK for Windows itself.

Yeah I don't understand how there's a whole article of "no one is using it" and the author then states "it's OK, there's nothing wrong with it".

If there's nothing wrong with it, why is no one using it?

Maybe because 11 is fucking awful. Maybe it's the ads. Maybe it's removing fuck tons of features for no apparent reason. Maybe it's the fucking awful design choices.

But no, the author just says "every decision has haters, people just hate it because it's different"

Don’t waste your time with the haters: Israel has never lacked haters who doubt her, who do not accept her legitimacy, who do not believe our ancient people deserve a home of their own. Time spent arguing with these people only furthers the fog of war. Ignore them. Or shame them. But do not argue with them.

Just.... Lol. I think this tells you everything you need to know.

Amazon video is fucking awful. I don't know how anyone could defend their player. It's slow, clunky, missing features, and hard to navigate. Their libraries are pretty bad too. And load times are significantly worse than Netflix. It's like twitch vs YouTube.

Disney was somewhere between the two in my experience. But lots of problems trying to re-watch things or find my place.... It always seemed to recommend the wrong episode of the show I wanted etc. It just always felt it had a small hurdle, whereas Netflix is always one click away from what I'm looking for.
