That device costs thousands of dollars. The os license fee is around 35-50. It barely even registers in the grand total. Add to that the well known MS management and reporting tools and everybody choses the MS variant. They know it, they can use it and the store staff can even do first line support themselves lowering the tco even more.
That's it.

PC gaming is not here to stay. One day, someone, will finally do a cloud /saas streaming solution which works, which solves the latency and fidelity issues and which will be accepted and trusted by the masses.
Hopefully that will be a Valve solution. Not Nvidia, MS, Google or Sony.
From that moment on the client will not matter anymore and you will just stream it to your device and from there cast it to your big screen.
Hopefully I'm full of shit and this will never happen. But I'm afraid I'm not.
Yeah, you seem a lot smarter. Good for you.
Sigh.
Nazism isn't the same as fascism. Nazism does care about your ethnicity. Fascism does not.
But whatever.
Just watch that xkcd graphic my dude. Somebody else already linked it. It makes the issue very clear and is quite scientifically based.
Yes, everything you said is factually true. That doesn't mean your interpreting it all correctly. We not just accelerated it, we where strolling along the path of planetary heating and then decided to step aboard the Starship Enterprise and screamed: "MR SULU WARP FACTOR NINE, STAT!"
We're fucking with systems (planetary weather patterns) we can't comprehend. And to solve it we again fuck with that system but now not by adding energy (heat) but by removing energy from it (wind, radiation)
I think both will have issues. But for now removing lots and lots of energy from the system will greatly benefit us.
In the end it will always come down to population control or going interplanetary as a species.
More people on this planet, in this system will always mean more heat. Remove the excess from the system and it will find its equilibrium again.
But.. Removing the excess sounds nice but isn't. Especially when you are deemed to be the excessive one.
You want to know where global warming can lead to? Look no further then Venus.
Im just a tad disappointed that according to this graphic fascism (which isnt exactly the same as nazism but whatever) is strictly a white issue.
Which, if you look at the world, clearly isn't the case. Fascism is everywhere.
On places likw g2a.com steam accounts are sold all the time.
The worse they can do is ban the account. Just give it away if you want.
That's not what i meant. Replies are just more a cesspit over here and often not worth the energy needed to read them.
Often there is no room for debate.
And that's for sure hurting the platform.
Thank you for once again doing what i was railing about. You've proven my point once again. The room is divided, I'm an simplistic asshole and you're the righteous dude. Congrats. Next stop: I'm a racistic bigot.
Lhgbtwdxyz I don't care, bud. I really don't. Do what you like, don't do what you don't like. Be who you are. Live life how you want. It is as simple as that. And let me do the same, ok? I will never get all the fuzz. Be gay. Dont be gay. Be bi. Dont be bi. Be nothing: also great. Be everything : good for you. Be the other sex or none at all: it's your life. I don't care and neither should you about what I do. Just love people and you choose who. Express yourself however you want. That's not a new message.
Police : solutions. Not anarchist bullshit. ACAB is bullshit and leads nowhere.
This is a boxer, right?
Wasn't it Clarkson who ignited the flame of hate? The porsche for people who couldn't afford a real porsche?
Just have fun. Drive what you like. A cabrio is always a delight.
I miss it daily.
The discussions here always are the same, very leftist. There is only one side. Memes here are always overdone. Comics are always politicized. Everything is "eat the rich", lhgtbq cant do anything wrong and lets not forget: fuck the police. Eating the rich has been tried before guys, several times. It didn't work. People need leaders and these leaders will always benefit from it. Learn history before you try to make it. Or is it just jealousy?
Just because youre lhgtbq does not automatically mean you're right or have been wronged. Surely your identity is very important. As is mine. lets find some middle ground, ok?
Police does fuck up, a lot. Do you have a solution instead of "all cops are evil" or is that just a catchy easy thing to say? And that brings me to the next one:
The depth in discussion and the amount of objective (news) subjects here is lacking. Views are often shallow and if they aren't they are cast in stone. Lemmy is unfortunately not usable for sharing and consuming knowledge. The depth isn't there, the communities too small and it always devolves into you're wrong because i say so. Or, if its IT, the knowledge just isn't there or worse: people are not willing to share it, adding a you f-ing MS simp because why not. And that brings me, again, to the next:
It's also often a lot less cordial. Instead of discussing the "room" gets divided in friends and enemies. Name calling is normal. Its a lot darker here.
Most of the times I don't even check responses on my comments : I know what they say. Yeah buddy, fuck you too.
Anyway, its fine. I use it daily. The use case isn't the same though. And the experience is very different.
I wouldn't be here without Sync by the way. Without (stuff like) Sync the hassle would just not be worth it.
There is no legal argument. You (or whoever up in this thread) brought that up, not me. I reacted to that. It was never stated anywhere that it was optional. You pulled that out of, I dunno. I strongly suggest you yourself read that faq and dont regurgitate BS you red on discord but didnt bother to confirm yourself.
You accepted the license and the end user agreement the moment you started the game and didn't reimburse the game in the first few hours. No blood, no fingerprint or the life of your firstborn son needed.
Read shit before you click accept. Don't accept what you dont like. That is all.
Do what you want, i dont care if the reviews are bad or good.
But i just have to react to your "legal" argument.
Legal pressure over an EULA you accepted when you bought the game and got reminded on when you first started the game? The game you didn't refund for over 3 months and probably have 10s if not 100s of hours in? That EULA?
Because contrary to what you seem to think it was in there from the get go. That it didn't work is nice, but doesn't mean anything.
That they created a workaround because it didn't work is nice of them but again, besides the point.
You accepted the EULA. you clearly didn't read it. Who's fault is that?
The only pressure they felt where you guys making a lot of noise. And that was and is great.
But what did Sony learned? What did they really learn?
I'll tell you:
Next time, when they fuck up.... Don't back down. Because if you do back down the negativity stays anyway and you gain nothing.
That's the lessons the corpos have learned. They've learned they can't win. Just accepting the damage is the better strategy. That way you earn something (the ones who did link) at least.
This is not a hurdle, its a nuisance at best. It's stupid though.
Great substantiation. Thanks for that clear insight.
When i was young we had glass bottles for everything.
Thank god for PET bottles.
PET is just as easily recyclable as glass and it doesnt break when the bottle falls or explode during temperature swings. Next to that its weighs not even 10% of a glass bottle thus saving a lot of transportation costs. Creating a PET bottle costs a fraction of a glass bottle. Nobody ever died because of a cut vein by a PET bottle. Glass on the other hand...
PET is way better for the environment then glass ever will be.
I lived in the 70s/80s as a kid and there are very good reasons why we stopped with glass. Glass bottles for pop sucked ass, big times.
And the recycle money scheme also works on PET bottles. I know that also for a fact. Why? I live in the EU. We're doing that for like... Forever.
In the end its not the companies who just jug it onto the roadside or dont recycle shit. It's us. We're the assholes. We find it too hard to put something in the right bin. We find it too hard having 4 bins at home for recycling. We find it too hard to just keep our waste with us in the car. Its nasty. Just open the window and throw it out.
Putting everything in glass will solve nothing. Then, instead of forever plastic we're left with forever glass. People are lazy assholes. Accept it and start work on that, not the symptoms.
And maybe... Maybe Carlin was right about plastic. (if you dont know what im talking about, which I cannot believe, search "carlin earth plastic" on YouTube. And choose the longest one for the entire sketch)
The moment the state decides if your life is valuable enough or not is the moment we are talking about fascism. It is that simple.
And yes, I'm all for assisted death. But the keyword is assisted. And if you yourself cannot decide if you want to be assisted it just can't happen.
A politician can not decide for you if you deserve to live or not. A life canot be valued. And that was what was implied.
They are rich together. One just a tad more then the other.
Edit: typos. (curse you ms swiftkey!)
Say, didnt you guys hear about that one party which was hugely popular in germany once? The guy in charge was called "the boss" and they had a very specific greet.
They too extended it to people with disabilities.
I dunno.. But it seems somewhat relevant..
