At first I thought this must be obviously bad satire. I thought: “If course newer cards at the same price level aren’t worse than older cards, they are just not as much better as they have been in the past.”, and if you think the same, you may be surprised as well.
Every good thing the EU does is stuff which slipped through the cracks of the deeply corrupt officials and their lobbyists overlords. The EU just does so much stuff, that sometimes something slips through before the officials can be bribed to stop it.
Thank you for your detailed reply! I personally view LMG videos as purely entertaining, they shouldn’t trash other people for data quality or accuracy, since they are rather weak in that field as well. Rather they should focus on entertainment for entertainment’s sake, where they are - at least in my opinion - stronger than a lot of the rest.
This looks in line with ER, I hope they fixed the shader compilation stuttering.
Which meaningless drama did I miss here?
I only remember the Samsung rugged ones, which do not look great. Some compromise will be needed to get removable batteries into phones. Compromises the buyer of a gold iPhone Pro Max to flex their wealth won’t appreciate. Not DRMing batteries and giving users access to documentation and tools for replacing the battery requires almost no compromise from no one (except a tiny dent in Apple‘s balance sheet, which they will recover from, I’m sure).
This. People read this and think about the removable batteries of Nokia bricks and plastic hardshells, but this would really hamper with IP68 rating. It probably just means the users must be able to replace the battery themselves, instead of artificially locking it down with DRM. And maybe provide some documentation. Otherwise phones would become so much worse, than they have been for more than a decade.
Far from it, it their profit is down like a lot.
Oh sorry, this wasn’t an iOS-vs-Android dig, all the android manufacturers are constantly near bankruptcy, but apple has shareholders who are expecting growth, they will be hurt the most by consumers holding their on to their phones longer. (Samsung is reporting over 90% profit shrinkage, the Chinese brands are probably just PLA plants to capture as much communication as possible worldwide without a profit motive to begin with)
That is going to be a problem for apple, better make the next iPhone’s battery be unreplaceable and self destruct after 2 years.
I played destiny religiously, did all my weekly stuff, told my wife we couldn’t do anything that evening, since I needed to do something before the reset, things like this. During Witch Queen I fell behind my buddies since I wanted to play the campaign on legendary as we had done during each Halo release, but they didn’t want to, since it wasn’t „economical“ to play it Legendary the first time. This was my wake up call, that something was seriously wrong.
Since I wasn’t Raid ready in time, I fell off hard as soon as VotD released and didn’t really come back. Paradoxically: Playing Witch Queen‘s campaign on legendary alone or with Randos was the most fun I had with Destiny in ages.
Twice of the much lower cost, due to economies of scale … which may/should still be significantly less than building two - and more, for more features - factory lines and risk not selling a car for a longer time, since it doesn’t have the right feature combination.
To be honest: keeping the chain alive would be great!
If you are a permanent employee and get a good salary I can follow your argument, you are a cog in a machine and get reimbursed regularly. But if you are hired project by project and get paid some lump sum (and probably not a good one), then exposure in credits and on IMDb is really valuable.
Seriously: MW2 was rough for more than half a year and each season refresh brings back bugs already fixed. Vanguard is only two years away and could itself only have around two years of serious development time since it used the same engine as MW 2019, while Cold War used Treyarch‘s own stream. Even if Sledgehammer started development right after Vanguard they‘d only have two years of development time, but early rumors of CoD 2023 just being a larger live service update for MW2, instead of a new game point towards CoD 2023 using the same engine as MW2. In this case the major development time would have been what? A year? Besides Blizzard enshittifying their first solid release in years for a few MTX bucks right now, CoD 2023 feels like the next thing to crash and burn like Vanguard. Bobby is driving the whole company into the ground and I feel like the acquisition cannot come fast enough for CoD to have any chance of long term survival.
I hope the tickets are really expensive! And why wait until 2050?
I bought it on a whim and am totally surprised by what it is: The marketing looked very soulslike-centric and I expected something like The Surge, but I’d describe it more like a Gears of War/Destiny-mix. Yes, it is sometimes challenging, but Gears of War was as well back in the day, didn’t make it a soulslike. And the semi persistent checkpoints are just that: checkpoints. The skills and “RPG”-lite elements are very reminiscent of Destiny 2 to me. If you like both these games it’s kinda okay, but otherwise it’s nothing to get excited about. Without buddies the coop is really weird, especially if you play story missions, because randos can progress dialogue you might want to hear - but the story isn’t great and really convoluted, so the harm done is minimal. Buy it, if you want to play a challenging Gears of War with your buddies and tolerate Destiny‘s tediousness with resources and upgrades and RPG-lite elements.
They wouldn’t have slammed into it, if they’d kept their safe distance as @XTornado@lemmy.ml wrote. I’m in no way defending Tesla‘s „Autopilot“, it should be banned until they pass a very difficult test proving true self driving capabilities and multiple layers auf fail safes (which they can’t right now). But examples where an autopilot Tesla did something stupid and other people making human errors are disingenuous: if somebody drops their cigarette and breaks unexpectedly and the cars behind don’t keep their distance and slam into it, the reason they have an accident is not the cigarette but their dangerous safety distance.
They will fail so hard! On hand I am totally here to see that, on the other hand, I’m sad we won’t get a good new Splinter Cell.
You are alright bot, you tried your best!
