no worries guys, we can just go buy the american-made competitor with no tariffs.

you can’t use straight 1:1 inflation to infer what the contemporary cost should be of digital products like video games, movies, tv shows, music etc. There is no physical asset to tie the individual product value to. There are of course production costs, but those are the same whether you make 50 copies or 50 million.

The reason inflation hasn’t hit video game prices is because the video game market has grown exponentially since the 90s. They make more money by selling low margin at higher volume, compared to high margin and low volume. It’s all about maximizing that total profit, not individual sales.

Publishers can try to charge more, but it’ll be up to consumers if that actually gets them any more money overall. only time will tell.

i mean as a core feature of a watch/smartwatch in general. garmin is going above and beyond compared to the competition in that area, and that's great. But that doesn't mean every other smartwatch manufacturer arbitrarily locking traditional watch features behind paywalls.

and yeah apple does fitness themed commercials for apple watch because it does help with fitness a ton out of the box. just not specifically guided workouts.

that's more like an added perk from garmin. I'd hardly consider workout plans a core feature of a watch.

yes and i don’t think it’s limited to politics either.

which should have been expected. after 10 years the market is saturated, and it's a mature product that has had no killer feature to upgrade early for.

I personally like it on a dedicated Pi simplly because I don't want DNS to die if i'm doing other server maintenance. the Pi is pretty much set it and forget it.

But i guerss you might as well try it on your server first and you can always buy a Pi if you find it to be too much of a pain.

honestly don't find it necessary. raspberry OS basically never needs to be rebooted and if you really need planned maintenance you can just use a normal DNS server til you're done.

all of the guild questlines in oblivion are so fun, particularly the stealthy ones Dark Brotherhood and Thieves.

never mind downvoted, i was banned from the ml world news community for saying ukraine has a right to defend itself. justification was “promoting war”.

apple has implemented junk AI (image playground, useless notification summaries, etc) while delaying the one thing (imo) AI could actually help them with - integration with siri.

that doesn't mean we should exacerbate the issue with AI.

why wouldn't that be the case, all the most persuasive humans are liars too. fantasy sells better than the truth.

The Outer Worlds is a perfect example of this in the best way possible.

I think the programming would prevent as much harm as possible.

well, yeah... why wouldn't you want a human to do the same thing??? you're watching too many fast and furious movies.

Firstly, no one in an 18 wheeler loaded with cargo is "navigating away" from anyone desperate enough to attempt such a scheme. This entire idea is ludicrous, think about how slow and massive those trucks are.

Secondly, you don't want an 18 wheeler loaded with cargo being driven aggressively. You're just escalating the risk of killing yourself and everyone around you, for what, a truckload of insured corporate assets?

and phones make you use your unlock pin often, so people are forced to remember it. on the other hand windows lets you use a short pin instead of your full account password pretty much forever which results in people forgetting the password completely.

you mean AI bots are shocked to learn they're arguing with AI bots.

you never did entertain a conversation, you're just insulting anyone who disagrees with you. when you are actually challenged on your bullshit you bail.

lol how hypocritical. you say I am stuck in an echo chamber, but when i ask for you to help me understand your differing opinion you don't even answer the questions. Just deploy your ad hominem and call it a day.

how does race or gender have anything to do with this?

what makes you think most people wouldn't be ok with wearing tech on their face?

maybe you are the one forgetting that cameras and microphones are already in all the products that most people already have. how is AR any different?
