Maybe people who have never worked before might be surprised.

That’s exactly what they’re aiming for.

Sure, but it’d be nice to let your wife know that you’re okay when you’re in a potentially dangerous situation lol

Although the location sharing did help lol

Yeah, I think that’s the entire point of having a new version lol

“error” lol, as if they didn’t intend for that to happen.

Not sure if I agree with you, someone in this thread is literally asking for a “prostate cancer GoFundMe” so they can donate to cancer so more people can die from it, which is making fun of cancer. Then, we have someone else saying “lol that he died to ass cancer” which is essentially making fun of prostate cancer.

The guy was a dick, but that doesn’t mean making fun of cancer is now cool all of the sudden.

I gotta admit, I’m pretty disappointed that people are laughing at him for having had cancer.

I get it, the guy was a dick, but laughing at someone having cancer is pretty shitty tbh. My punch biopsy came back clean for my mole earlier this year after waiting for results for 35 days (try enjoying your holiday break while a possible cancer diagnosis is in the back of your mind the entire time) but I would have been pretty upset if it came back as cancer and then I found this thread with people actually laughing at someone for having had cancer. I’ve had relatives die from cancer, it’s not really something to laugh about.

The guy was a dick, sure, but making fun of cancer isn’t cool. There, I said it, you can all disagree with me now for not being extreme enough.

Well it was Black Friday when I went, it was absolutely packed with people. I already bought a PS5 months earlier because I didn’t want to wait for a sale, otherwise I probably would have picked that up too lol

I agree with most of what you’re saying, I disagree with the last part of what you’re saying.

The self-host movement is about taking control away from companies, and running web services locally instead of having to rely on companies for them and pay for them. Most things you can run locally without needing a server, but there are absolutely good use cases for server-based services. Some great examples of this are cloud storage, code repositories, and chat servers. You could run each of those things locally, but they are each improved by running them on a dedicated server designed for 24/7 uptime and centralized access.

It’s not just media that doesn’t feed recommendation algorithms - I actually like recommendation algorithms (Jellyseerr does a pretty great job with this), it’s more about having control over my media and it not being taken away randomly. So many times an older show I would want to watch would no longer be “available” so I’d have to download it anyway, with no option of paying to watch for it.

Well yeah, it’s expensive and they didn’t put it on sale. This was obviously going to happen.

When I picked mine up (I knew I’d get one eventually and didn’t want to risk the prices going up like they did for other consoles), I saw 5 people walking out of BestBuy with a PS5 for every Switch 2 that sold, and the numbers seem to support that the PS5 outsold the Switch 2 over the holiday period.

Because billionaires like to stick together because they think that they’re better than all of us combined.

USA is cooked, man. It’s no longer a free country. Party of no censorship and free speech, yeah right.

If I had to guess, it would probably be because what they said was the equivalent of “fuck every country, fuck everyone”.

If I said that, for example, I’d probably be downvoted too.

Sure, there are alternatives for the games I listed, but if all your friends are playing any of the games I listed, you don’t have many options for Linux outside of something like Shadow or GeForce Now, which admittedly is a pretty solid option for online-only games if you live near their servers.

The fact they mentioned “anti cheat”, it’s going to be your modern online multiplayer games. It’s going to be games like Fortnite, PUBG, Call of Duty, Battlefield, etc.

Actually that’s just true lmao

This seems like a good thing to me. Good news seems so rare these days.

What OS and remote are you going to use for that, though?

FWIW, I get like, maybe 14ms latency with Steam Link and that’s just over WiFi, it’s shockingly usable.

There’s something to be said about the convenience that off-the-shelf solutions provide over custom solutions, and that’s coming from someone who typically always opts for custom solutions.

It is a fantasy because unfortunately it’s not a large enough market for any company to care about.
