I mean you probably don’t care but try running anything Adobe or commercial 3D software on Linux. It’s still pretty shit for casual gamers that don’t wanna get into the technical stuff. I’m sure there are a lot more industries that need to rely on Windows because of specialized software that either isn’t available on Linux natively or just runs like crap through wine.

Thank you! The cause might actually be “Enhancer for Youtube” in my case. Didn’t know it had its own blocker.

Got that too (Firefox and ublock origin). So far i can just click the X and continue to watch without ads. Pops up about every third video.

You’ve read the Digital Markets Act, not the Digital Services Act and everything you say sounds completely made up again. I’m sure as shit not gonna read the whole thing you linked just to prove you wrong. Either come up with quotes from the right document or this discussion is over.

What is wrong with you…

You don’t understand correctly:

“The DSA proposal maintains the current rule according to which companies that host other’s data are not liable for the content unless they actually know it is illegal, and upon obtaining such knowledge do not act to remove it.”

No idea how you came to that wild conclusion lol

Wow, thanks. Always assumed E2E was enabled by default. That sucks.

At least it sends standard SMS to everyone without an iPhone. Wouldn’t call that 0 interoperability

Idk to call that shit show Twitter is kind of an insult to Twitter at this point

I bet more people would try Linux if Linux users wouldn’t start slapping their dicks in everybody’s faces the second they read Windows or Microsoft

The overheating issues shouldn’t have happened in the first place, but there is no high-end phone in existence (except maybe some gamer phones with active cooling) that is actually able to sustain high clock speeds without overheating. They all throttle at some point, this might really be just a bug that is fixable via software.

Jeez… at least Siri has an excuse to some degree because of Apples privacy pledge

I’m sorry, hope this gets resolved for you in the future.

I get that but I feel like we’re much closer than you think. Hand tracking has been a thing in budget headsets for years now and it’s really solid. There are quite a few really fun experiences that don’t require controllers at all.

Apple is about to ditch controllers completely, combining hand tracking with eye tracking. The displays are almost as sharp as real life and headsets today are fully wireless, standalone computers while being 50% slimmer than your Vive. Oh yeah, they also map the environment automatically and have high definition 3D passthrough with AR capabilities.

A lot of that stuff was considered science fiction when the Vive was released. What you want from VR is happening within the next decade, no lightyear jump needed.

The OG Vive is a really horrible experience compared to modern VR headsets already. There are incredible technological advancements being made and to say all VR is doing is waiting for some Star Trek technology is incredibly ignorant. And frankly an insult to those super talented engineers that are breaking new ground on a yearly basis.

Which headset did you use? I had the same experience with my old Rift. Got a used Quest 2 recently and all my problems just vanished. I can even do smooth locomotion now which was impossible before.

Might be worth checking out some newer tech in case your HMD was first gen

Siri was always shit but somehow managed to devolve even further lately. I never trusted her to do more than than turning lights on or off but now this shit happens:

Me: Siri, turn off the lights in the living room

Siri: OKAY, WHICH ROOM? BATHROOM, BEDROOM, KITCHEN, HALLWAY, LIVING ROOM?

Imagine living in a mansion with this cunt

You guys just keep throwing everything in the same pot. I don’t like Amazon and don’t even have an account.

To raise the price (by 3 measly bucks) for a service that doesn’t make money is something a listed company IS REQUIRED to do. That’s all I am saying.

It has nothing to do with how much money the company makes in other areas and is a completely separate issue from the horrible working conditions, which is a political one.

But i guess it’s easier to just cry about everything while still throwing money at them and then jerking each other off because you commented “aMaZon SuCks”. Talk about the right side of the fence

In addition to what the other commenters have said: They don’t just sell light bulbs but also motion sensors that can even measure temperature.

So they wouldn’t just be able to tell which room you’re in at any given time but may also be able to tell when and for how long you shower or how often you cook food in the kitchen based on slight temperature changes.

And if you wanna get really paranoid: Hue Sync analyzes what’s on your screen and synchronizes lights accordingly. Who knows what is really going on there if they pull this kinda shit lol

They charge for Prime (Delivery) and until now, Prime Video was included in that price. I hate Amazon as much as the next guy (don’t even haven an account) but all i read from you guys is exactly this kind of unconstructive rambling.

What the fuck do you expect? That a listed mega corporation just goes like “Oh you know what we make billions, what does it even matter if one of our services doesn’t make any money, let’s just keep going, not like we have shareholders to answer to”.

Remember when people used to pay 5 bucks to rent a VHS for ONE DAY and no one lost their mind about it? Without constantly whining about Blockbusters profit margin?

But thanks for clearing up that Amazon is a billionaire owned company, only read that for the 500th time this week.

Prime Video isn’t profitable and they need it to be. They included it with Prime to build a user base but they were always going to charge or make you watch ads after that. And that’s perfectly fine because running a service that’s never going to make any money is fucking stupid.

If you don’t like it, don’t pay but stop with that “big corp makes enough money so keep giving me shit for free” bullshit.

Would love to read your pitch for a streaming service that doesn’t charge money and doesn’t show any ads though
