7th generation is retro. I’m sorry but the PS3 and 360 came out almost 20 years ago. The 360 is as old now as the NES was back then

If you have terabytes of data in iCloud, use their mail, contacts, photos, everything? Plus decades of purchased content, expensive devices losing functionality by dropping the iPhone… you have to basically replace everything with something else and it’s tedious especially for a less techy person. This is the reason walled gardens are anti consumer.

I think for most privacy nuts it comes down to “I don’t trust them and it’s closed source. They could be hiding anything in that code.”

And then there’s the people who can’t afford or won’t spend the money it takes to have an enjoyable Apple experience. It genuinely costs multiple thousands of dollars to get into the Apple ecosystem and then it’s massively painful to get out. It’s basically just “corporation bad” because corporations are bad. The only way to be truly private is to not carry a phone at all and use only FOSS solutions.

Oh good. 6.1 seems to fix the only bugs that have personally bothered me. I’m stoked!

Got into an argument about this once. The other person insisted that if I wipe my hard drive and reinstall, that I’m a pathetic moron who doesn’t deserve to use a computer.

In fairness, it’s usually better to fix things so you can learn, but dang they were toxic.

In fairness they usually do take them to a hospital but then the hospital is abusive

I don’t think it’s an American prison.

Only tip on stayovers. I used to be a housekeeper and I kind of grew to expect it after a guest had been in the room for multiple days, but never for just an overnight.

If you make a really big mess in the room, and don’t tip on a stay over, I would dip your toothbrush in the toilet 😂

Because some gamers think windows would be better for this. And maybe a little bit of gamer brand loyalty

This isn’t a surprise but it’s good to see light shed on it

I mean I’m a senior engineer and I mostly handle escalations and high priority client issues, but my work is mostly break/fix

Where’s the interview with the liberal reporter, lol?

This is also just a few days after Durov published Nazi dogwhistles in the latest Telegram update blog post.

Honestly, my argument that new and old games are both good would be to point straight at the Ratchet & Clank series.

In my opinion, it’s only gotten better with time, and the latest entry in the Series from 2021 is genuinely one of the greatest games I’ve ever played. It’s modern, cutting-edge, requiring a PCIe Gen4 SSD and a DualSense controller for the best experience. It’s just fantastic. New games, even AAA games, can be great so long as the project is being led by people who know how to make good games.

It’s not a controversial take, but survivorship bias is certainly strong with anything like this. People like classic rock because the bad songs from that era have faded into obscurity. The same goes for your favorite retro games; for every Ocarina of Time there was a Superman 64. For every Zelda there were 3 shitty LJN games.

The type of trash is just different. Instead of low-effort cash grab games, now we get high-effort overworked devs making a game that asks you to pay for it over and over again.

I’ve been playing Balatro and No Man’s Sky.

I actually picked up a ps3 slim and a decent handful of physical games. You can still buy digital ps3 games too on the console itself

It’s not dumb at all, no need to downplay your passion. Loud and proud I say!!

My favorite is the PS3. Something about its design and library just speaks to me.

The only good new mobile games are on Apple Arcade, which is behind a paywall. It sucks but what can ya do.

Lmao yeah exactly
