1000 x 70000 gross salary or whatever = 70 mil. 70 mil isn’t endless amounts of money in the managerial world, actually.

This has a funny secondary effect in that in some countries they would definitely need to get a broadcasting license then, when so far they got around it, being a video-on-demand service falling under the same laws as rental places for VHS tapes and such.

Have we considered that inputting phone numbers could work better with a reduced set of motions? We could have all numbers arranged on a circle and all you have to do is rotate a dial and let go.

I mean, who among us hasn’t thought about this? 🤷

Probably just the first animal he thought of that he didn’t see homosexual behavior of in videos before, seeing how common it is in documentaries about most felines or apes. It happens so much that it’s difficult for the cameramen not to film. 😅

Allegedly.

Honestly Rouge the Bat deserves to be there in full, not just lite.

More to the MS Satoshi.

For a very simple element, consider that if you used to have texture resolutions of 256² = 65536 pixels, you now might easily have 4096² = ~16.7mil pixels, a 25480% increase.

So our 4k texture packs really guzzle up harddrive space. And that’s ignoring how many many many more things there are to texture in the first place, how each element has multiple textures overlaid for shading, and all the other parts also needing more space like higher-def audio.

But wait! What if we buy a cruise ship and sell the cabins on it as law-free estate for these freaks? Certainly that one has to work out, right?!

ChatGPT-generated it seems like, judging by the emoji headlines.

Note that if you read the actual interview his principal issue is with subscription services, not the actual physical media.

Yeah they live in a country they stole, owning stuff they stole, and they’re now angry that sometimes they admit it’s stolen and they just don’t give a fuck. But the pedo president is still angry that they admit it.

What would federation do for a wiki, specifically? Like, every instance can have <some> pages and you can browse all of them from anywhere?

I mean that’s also woefully outdated. Just use the installers they already provide and put them on a thumbdrive, there’s a solid chance that’ll last far longer than a burnt disc would, too.

I mean in a way this is exciting, sure.

In particular if they do this in a somewhat eco-friendly fashion, that is, it’s just about the box and the manual and all that. No actual disc/thumbdrive/whatever. Granted GOG in particular would be in a position where they can do this due to their installers, but it’d still be absurd materials and logistics-wise, in particular old-style big box PC releases.

To add, I just recently finally got rid of the last of my old PC games boxes like DAoC or the ME games. I had already thrown out most older games such as Homeworld or Battle Isle years and years prior when I moved where I live right now.
Was it a kinda cool-looking collection in the living room? Yes. Did it take an absurd amount of space for no reason and it’s not like I even had a disc drive in the past 20 or so years? Yes. I nowadays have a pretty large board games collection, and that needs the space the books and video games previously took. So I donated books to hospitals and jails and so on, and games I gave away, sold or in some cases just tossed. Fond memories, but not enough to justify the amount of physical space used for a physical medium I cannot even use.

When the other comment confirmed the first image was doctored I didn’t imagine the real one looked basically just as bad. 😆

dBrand continues to be on-brand with their weird nonsensical decisions. This is like the KillYourSwitch shell that was also obviously a terrible idea but did they listed before they sat on their asses? Of course not.

Aren’t we currently looking at a cold death? As in, don’t worry, this heat issue will solve itself?

Not entirely unexpected, we know from sampling studies that while Google’s search results did get worse over the years, it got so slower than Bing, which is a huge portion of the search results of many alternative engines.
