yes, if you want a controller that will never exhibit drift you have to find one that specifically markets itself as using hall-effect joystick assemblies. all other controllers will (eventually) exhibit stick drift.
okay you are obviously taking this far too literally, obviously they could make an app, but the apps could not survive and exist because the competition would undersell them, paid for with investor money.
do you see what i'm trying to get through to you yet? everyone is saying "well the apps are better!" when the reality is that the big investor backed corporations like uber pushed all the smaller taxi firms out with uncompetitive price undercutting, they didn't die out because they didn't have an app, they couldn't survive with an app or without - they couldn't make that app to make you happy because you'd still pick the 20% cheaper one anyway
Again, they did and failed because they couldn't compete because investors paid for the likes of uber to run everyone out of business. I don't know how more I can explain this to you, but you don't seem to understand.
They aren't spending the money to preserve film either. The best case is storing the film in salt mines, and that only slows the degradation. Film isn't being digitally scanned unless there's a uhd release to profit from it, and every week that it isn't scanned, it degrades a little more
The apps weren't profitable. They sold rides for less than it cost them, which killed the industry. That's what all disruptive companies do, sell for an unprofitable price and have investor money make up the difference.
Taxi companies could not compete. How could they? It didn't matter if they were good or bad. There was no chance to compete because they all went out of business.
Again, the apps didn't win because they were better, it's because they didn't allow competition. In a sane world they would have had to have made a profit, and the taxi companies would have made their own app, and things would be pretty much equal across the board. But that never happened.
Fair use depends on a lot, and just being a small amount doesn't factor in. It's the actual use. Small amounts just often fly under the nose of legal teams.
If I buy a single player game, more than likely, valve is making entirely profit on that 30%. The cost of the download is below a penny to valve. Yet they still get s third of that companies revenue.
Charge them for the services if you want. They aren't doing thst, they are taking 30% of an industries revenue for doing nearly nothing.
Why should valve, or sony, or Apple, or Google get 30% of the revenue of entire industries for having a download and payment service.
It's extortionate and undeserved. When I play a game I absolutely love, one third of the money for that game didn't go to the people who made it, it went to valves endless bucket of money. It's not right and we should not be defending these extremely high cuts.
Shockingly, you don't need to dig. And handwaving away the cost, including the environmental cost of infinite rocket launches forever because "oh magical technology will save us some day" does not help your case.
You might have a point if launching rockets was cheaper, but launching infinite rockets forever is not cheaper. The rockets fall out of the sky. So we're talking about one upfront cost or a cost forever.
The alternative is not "higher orbit satellites", it's "put wires on the earth".
Firing infinite rockets that fall out of the sky in a year is a bad, wasteful option that only exists because the American government is not under enough pressure to fix its infrastructure problems.
the rest of the world, even the big countries with lots of remote citizens, they used wires not infinite rockets.
The downvotes are a combination of American propaganda working, and also everyone here is a mid to older millennial, genx tech bro, ergo hate the young people's thing.
Don't take it personally, downvotes mean nothing on lemmy, and it's more a reflection of their inability to discuss points and just blind react to points that go against their propaganda influenced moral compass.
Yes, yes, they are. The Xbox should be in the absolute gutter with microsofts decisions over the past decade. The fact that it exists at all is a testament to how strong consoles are these days.
The switch is doing great. The ps5 is doing great. The Xbox still exists even though the Xbox One happened, and this is all in the face of the pc platform doing great.
In addition, Starlink is not a good solution. It requires an infinite amount of rockets sent into low earth orbit forever, at a heavy subsidised cost paid for by American taxpayers.
You should be pushing for long-term solutions, not ones that literally fall out of the sky six months after the subsidies stop.
