Most definitely. I don't think personally I would have an interest in using GFN, but I just didn't understand what it was at all.

it still exists

Makes sense. Yeah, I can see advantages for people e.g. on a laptop but with a good enough network infrastructure to make it work.

Thanks for the details!

Ah interesting. So rendering isn't done locally?

In that case I wouldn't even expect it to have a free tier since there are significant costs.

What advantage is there to using GeForce Now instead of Steam itself?

That's not bait btw; I'm an all-AMD Linux gamer and I've literally never used GeForce Now.

The windscreen is made from high-tech Apple SpaceGlass, and the integrated HUD (*Pro car only) presents all non-Apple cars as green bubbles in real time

I think all those dongles hanging off the car would have been a problem anyway

That's faulty logic. We know that mergers tend to lead to higher prices. We also know that there's already an issue with artificial inflation (=companies colluding to raise prices), as well as actual inflation.

Ultimately it's just simple addition if/when the merger goes through. It will exacerbate the existing issue.

My sentiments exactly. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, as annoying as they can be. Now that I'm not using reddit I wish them the best of luck wreaking havoc.

Oh, I totally agree everyone needs to vote for Biden based on how the system currently works. But what I disagree with is the insinuation that anyone disagreeing with Biden needs a MAGA hat. That's tonedeaf and bad for the party.

Right, but winning an election where your own party already required you to shut up about anything where you disagree -- doesn't seem like a win?

I think there's this idea that if we keep the Dems in power, then we'll hit a point where we can return to discussion and fix issues within the party. But that's a false idea. There will always be an opponent, and the idea that we should all fall in line just to avoid fascism is, well, misguided at best -- because it's also fascism. We're already setting a precedent within the party to avoid dissidence. That's wild.

They entered multiple industries and took losses to rise to the top and outlast the competition, in many cases. Now that they're running what are practically utilities, they see there is no money in it and pull out.

Modern tech industry 101, and yes, it's dumb as fuck.

My math skills aren't what they used to be, but I see a short-term solution to their profit issues.

Yeah, that's one of my fears with this rhetoric. We keep reducing issues to bifurcations which is incredibly dangerous.

Apple isn't necessarily doing anything specifically innovative

I don't think they have really innovated for quite some time. But that said, they do know their market. They've got tons of people in the ecosystem and simply have to maintain them. It's a lot easier than courting new users.

Win what? Ultimately no one wins if we can't discuss areas for improvement even within one's own party.

As a lifelong democrat, I find this to be very dangerous rhetoric. It sounds tonedeaf. Regardless of the candidate, being critical of politicians is a cornerstone of democracy.

I understand it's important to be a united front, but the need to seemingly bring dissenting voices into line is not a good way to do it. We cannot force people to say we have a perfect candidate for the sake of avoiding discussion.

Edit: a word

I'm not sure that's actually true. I'm not a lawyer but I suspect it would take more than an internet comment saying "I did it."

Ideally, yes. But it's also a better use of existing public funds versus... whatever the hell they're currently used for. As a taxpayer, I'd just once like to see my money going to something tangible that affects my own life.
