Instead of buying a license for a game for $70 you subscribe to a rental service that gives you access to 500 games for $10/month.

Or, instead of buying a $500 console or a $800 PC you just buy a $60 controller and you stream those games running on “the cloud” (=someone else’s console) for $15/month

Problem is that the service is provided by Microsoft at a loss and when they’ll get enough critical mass, they’ll enshittify it.

The economic proposition is good, but I think it’s just to teach gamers that “you’ll own nothing and you’ll be happy”



The worst part is that it’s technically possible to do that using the bd-live 2.0 specification


This is pure speculation, the language in the t&c describes what happens now: the console and/or the account gets banned from online gaming


unless you stumble on a brick, fall down and accidentally install a rp2040 on the switch, then accidentally flash picofly when trying to understand what’s going on



I read a review with 3.8/5 rating on a e-reader review website:

This means the device is essentially a hodgepodge of leftover parts glued together with some of the biggest bezels we’ve ever seen. The top tablet is pulled from the bottom of the bin, so it is maxed out at Android 10 and cannot be updated.

Cons

  • Absolutely zero dual-screen applications
  • Old tablet and old e-reader screen
  • Stock Pen is terrible
  • Only Supports Android 10

With a review like that they still give 3.8/5??? Sponsored much, huh? It should be 1/5


In Europe it’s like this:

Want to do a chargeback with American express or similar credit cards: call the toll free number and do it in less than 90 seconds, instantly approved

Want to do a chargeback with a debit card: you need to go to the police station and report the seller for fraud, then find the chargeback form hidden somewhere on the bank website, fill it and send it back together with the police fraud report via FAX (no email) to the bank, which might or might not approve it in 90 days. If it approves that, they will take a 30 euro fee from what you will get


This should of been on PS+ Day One

I’m not a gamer, but isn’t a ps+ subscription mandatory for online gaming? If it was free for ps+ games, that meant it was f2p from the start


For me is completely broken. Maybe for you fanboys it works

“Where’s Argentina?” - “ok, setting a route to Argentina”

“Turn off all the lights except in the living room” - “ok, turning off the lights in the living room”


Google assistant would have replied “sorry, i didn’t understand” or with some completely unrelated score
