That’s still pretty high end in my opinion!

That’s odd because I had previously heard the 8000 series was intended to be midrange only. A 7900 XTX is insanely fast already.

This is why I like this company.

Got a lotta reasons to hate them too, but I have reasons to like them

I didn’t mind BfA too much. Shadowlands felt like a drag the entire time though. Definitely my least favorite expansion.

The next expansion seems good. I’ve been playing cata

You won’t let us install a rootkit on your system? :-(

Well no multiplayer for you, cheater! >:-(

I use arch btw

Ratchet and clank is a great choice for a thumbnail. Why yes I am a furry how did you know

Bruh idk I just commented on the headline

Pendulums swing.

That “do I pass” game always messes with my head.

While you wait an hour for it to charge yeah

This is a lot more boring than any of that. Just tech debt

Yeah it’s not ideal. I just don’t see a world where Microsoft will set people’s search engine to DuckDuckGo

Glad you had something useful and helpful to add to the discussion. Have you ever in your life heard of “playing devils advocate”? Read a book some time.

Ok 💅

You don’t have to use this site

Imagine you have a computer that’s been compromised by malware. What do you think the search engine will be set to? Not Google, not Bing, probably some third party one that has ads and malware. Changing that to Bing would technically qualify as a repair.

They could easily improve this by just adding a list of common reputable search engines, and adding those to an allow list.

Controversy drives engagement

I’d just like for these things to be opt-in, not opt-out.

Finally, they’ve optimized this game. Shameful that they released it in an unfinished state, but at least Bethesda is continuing to work on it.

You mean to tell me they couldn’t plug in their own USB controllers?!

Very reasonable take. I’d like to toss a little bit of credit Sony’s way for their excellent controller design at least! I’ll keep buying consoles so long as games are still sold on physical media for them

For my money, I think Sony will release a PlayStation store for PC, continue pushing the cloud thing, and start allowing third party app stores on consoles if and when they’re forced to by regulators.

I think a lot of this sentiment is more true for the previous generation (PS4, XBOne) because those consoles could barely keep up with PCs at the time. The current generation of consoles have gotten so good that the average consumer would have a hard time telling a console and PC game apart. This is, of course, because the modern consoles are just gaming PCs themselves, with very tight integration.

Just think about your average dad who buys a TV at best buy. Now think about how he’s going to be so impressed by the on-by-default HDR feature on the PS5, and how he can also be sold on the home theater aspect where the device can play 8K Blu-Rays if he wants.

I’m not arguing that consoles are the best thing, or that they’re going to be the same forever, I’m just saying they have their place and I don’t think they’re going away.

Consoles are not intended to turn a profit on their own. Game sales are intended to turn a profit. There will always be a demand for an easy-to-use box you can buy for less than a PC and plug in and play games. The console is a loss leader, the games are the real profits. Why wouldn’t they publish on more platforms? They lose money on every console sold.

I’m glad competition is so strong in the PC market.

A non-profit can, in fact, profit, but it has specific rules on what it can do with those profits. Tax law is a rabbit hole and I don’t even wanna peer in

It seems like a profit-driven thing to me. Big piles of anonymized data are worth a pretty penny.

Importantly, if you have already opted out of sending data to Mozilla, this change will not affect you. It only sends data if you have the setting turned on. It takes just a few clicks to entirely disable it, and Mozilla deletes all record of your browser within 30 days from turning off this feature. If you’re worried about it, do it now, it’s just under Settings > Privacy & Security. Instructions are also linked in the blog post.

“Sonly sold slightly less than their extremely optimistic projections” —> “Consoles are done for” is quite a stretch lmao

This isn’t really news. The PS5 is 4 years into its cycle by now.

Because some gamers think windows would be better for this. And maybe a little bit of gamer brand loyalty

I also used it for half a decade and had 4/6 sticks of RAM fail. When I contacted support, I had tor request a manager escalation to get past the engineer who insisted it was a problem with my windows installation. I run Linux and tested it with memtest86+.

Corsair makes bad products. Your brand loyalty is embarrassing.

Corsair can’t even make reliable ram. This is likely to go poorly

Proton has gotten so good that many games do better under it than native

They don’t need to react. Valve handles the compatibility for them.

They’ve tossed ClamAV on mine but it’s not on the AD, thankfully.

I use Linux on my desktop at work, and sometimes you might end up with an apple computer instead depending on the employer.

The monopoly is slipping.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’ve done that same thing so many times

The article specifically notes this. They exclude chromeOS. If you include ChromeOS, it’s closer to 6.5%
