This is about Revanced, isn't it? They failed to kill it via the YouTube backend so now it's down to lock down the os and browsers as much as possible to keep feeding people the juicy ads.

Linking to the actual test so you don't have to visit the verge.

What is interesting to me that many failed on the driver monitoring side which to me as a consumer (not a traffic authority) is probably actually a pro not a con. I don't want my car insessantly beeping at me for dumb reasons. I wouldn't intend to use these systems without attention but stricter controls will also mean more false positives.

By this logic Lexus, Volvo, Nissan, Mercedes, and even Ford seem great (somewhat depending on the model of the car).

Whats also funny is that the Tesla utterly failed almost all categories except the lane change (and passed emergency). But it can't even do that unless you're willing to pay them extra thousands of dollars for the software unlock.

I love seeing these two assholes fight.

I think this is good though. Another data point of Apple not allowing true competition on their platform. Oh, you want your own app store? BAM! You're banned. Especially now that it seemed Epic was gonna comply with this last set of ridiculous rules.

We might get a proper way to sideload if they keep this up. We'll see...

This was also my initial take but look at these graphs with the Y axis starting from 0 Stock lost 67% value in the last year alone, and lost 85% in the past 5 years. Looks pretty dire to me. I would say this is undervalued but I have no confidence in the ubi leadership to turn it around.

That's nothing. My workplace disabled copy/paste on everyone's work iPhones completely. Not in their own apps but system wide. Apparently that's something ios allows them to do. Doesn't affect me much because I use the phone as a glorified dual auth token but some people have it as their primary phone.

Then stop complaining and go buy the game directly off the developer's website. Many large publishers have their own storefront. Or you can tell your favourite Indie dev that they can set up a virtual storefront (with diacoverability so users find their game), distribution service with CDNs, support forums, online user reviews, customer support, and who knows what else for their own game. If this sounds like a lot of work, that's because it is. Alternatively, they are allowed to pay someone in the form of profit sharing for all of this if they want to. But no one is forcing you to use Steam.

It just seams the majority of pc gamers find the service useful, so they tend to buy the games there.

It's better than nothing. Also I'd probably weigh the opinion of people who have the extension higher than of those who don't.

Somewhere between top-right and top-middle depending on how revoked his license is at the given moment and how much vicodin he is on.

Let's see.

  • We'll probably be up to the iPhone 22 but I doubt that's what they'll call it.
  • We will have missed the majority of the global warming deadlines to transition to greener energy by 2030 with most companies pushing out their timeliness to 2050.
  • The buzz around AI will have died down a bit but the technology will have found its niche and been adopted both as a useful tool and the next step of enshittification against users.
  • The SpaceX Mars mission will still be nowhere to be found
  • The first $10 trillion+ market cap company will exist by then
  • There will be some other, different conflict in the middle-east
  • The invasion of Taiwan will have either already been attempted or China gives up on it and decides to focus on building their own fabs
  • Putin is still in control of Russia but extremely rarely seen outside of his bunker. Thee are many conspiracies that he is dead and has been replaced by a double
  • The war in Ukraine has stalled with neither party being able to achieve complete victory. There is an armistice in place but not a proper peace accord
  • The price of food has almost doubled again compared to today but wages only increased by 60%
  • There is an even higher social tension between the left and right but people are unwilling to try to break out of the two party system
  • Lemmy has 2-3 x users compared to today but is still a niche platform

Doesn't seem to me like it would make sense to hire RDJ and then hide him behind a mask for the entire movie.

Like everyone is saying, Immich.

But keep an eye on updates because it is under active development so breaking changes tend to happen every once in a while.

It's Hearthstone for me. Spent a lot of time and even some money on a game that was just getting shittier every year.

I can't stand him either anymore. The production quality is high but the content feels very low effort and subjective. I especially cannot stand the zoom in thing as if he's saying something impactful or profound. What's worse is many of the similar channels are adopting it.

I guess that's the life cycle of a YouTube channel: Quirky and interesting -> gain traction -> adapt content for wider audiences to maintain growth -> become bland and lose the thing that was interesting to begin with

Prince of Persia, Sprinter Cell, earlier AC and Farcry games deifinetly have a cult following; and for good reason. Some of these were not only inventive, even genre defining games but also commercial successes, meaning many people got to enjoy them and have fond memories.

It feels like these days the focus is on extracting as much shareholder value out of gamers via microtransactions which means game design has changed, often for the worse: making longer, more drawn out games and progression which you can speed up by paying and also forcing the player to spend more time on the game hoping you will buy more microtransactions, loot boxes or tiered gear (pay for higher number - more damage, etc.)

It also doesn't help that writing has also generally suffered. Not that older games had perfect storylines but at least they had loveable characters. Try playing a modern ubisoft game and it is this designed by committee, appealing to the widest possible audience slop that even Giancarlo Esposito can't make interesting.

Overall, older games feel like they had some soul. Even if it was a huge corporate machine back then too, there were more passionate people involved in their creation. The modern games are technically better in many ways, but they lost some of what made them special.
