I mean android always sucked in this regard, but can you better explain what the problem was? I often use my phone, while wearing earplugs, (so basically deaf. Or I can’t hear, whatever), and I never found anything I couldn’t do.

Also the nuclear war never happened. Shooters on the other hand…
- Comment on Amazon’s Twitch to Cut 500 Employees, About 35% of Staff 10 months ago:
50? Idk the biggest techbro firms NEVER made any money ever. Fucking Spotify is yet to be profitable. Who exactly are they planning to sell more service to?
50 is generous.
- Comment on OpenAI employees really, really did not want to go work for Microsoft 11 months ago:
The truth is, faceless datacenters run linux. PEOPLE run Windows.
- Comment on OpenAI employees really, really did not want to go work for Microsoft 11 months ago:
No they don’t. Microsoft makes software. Outsourcing making software makes no sense.
- Comment on GTA 6 is likely to skip PC again and only launching on current gen consoles 11 months ago:
In my view this is short sighted. A game with this many systems in it may actually need time to be decently optimised for keyboard and mouse inputs. When GTAV finally released it also carried a bunch of improvements. R* doesn’t want to sell games consoles. They don’t make any.
- Comment on PlayStation To Delete A Ton Of TV Shows Users Already Paid For 11 months ago:
Well yeah but that is hosted on various abandonware sites. If they defacto disown the rights of it, that is fair enough…
- Comment on PlayStation To Delete A Ton Of TV Shows Users Already Paid For 11 months ago:
They will ALMOST CERTAINLY. But my point is this doesn’t really help… Let’s say a game I really like, I dunno Wreckfest (substitute you own idc) gets yanked from Steam. Here is my 24.99 EUR back. Okay fine, fair enough (it isn’t but whatever), where can I buy the game again? Well REALLY you can’t, you can either buy gamepass forever (Until it gets yanked from there again), or you can go and hunt down a rare an expensive Xbox physical release.
So have I been reimbursed for my loss? No, because the 24.99 is no substitute for the game I had and wanted.

This is what I wrote on the other thread about the same article. The question is, on what possible grounds are they allowed to revoke licenses for completed sales?
- Comment on Kids are brutal 11 months ago:
Yeah but that is a situation that is funny in hindsight.
- Comment on Madness 11 months ago:
More realistically, the reason serial killers are so hard to catch, is because it is a crime without any motivation. It coul’ve been done by anyone. Because it makes no sense.
- Comment on Japan’s automakers are keeping sports cars alive in the EV era 1 year ago:
Or even the taycan, It weighs 2 tonnes.
- Comment on Who didn't play with one? 1 year ago:
I mean somethimes for modern western people, putting things into perspective WOULD actually help.
- Comment on Who didn't play with one? 1 year ago:
It is also a good demonstration how realtive our happyness is. It is all about expectations.
- Comment on Japan’s automakers are keeping sports cars alive in the EV era 1 year ago:
You have very little idea what a sportscar is about if you think that.
- Comment on Petition demands that Microsoft extends Windows 10 support 1 year ago:
Unless you need displaylink. Than it is literally impossible.
- Comment on Petition demands that Microsoft extends Windows 10 support 1 year ago:
My xps 9570 has broken audio drivers on Linux. Dell laptops usually have better linux support than most. 2003 wants it’s OS back…
- Comment on Youtube's Anti-adblock is illegal in the EU 1 year ago:
Still a curveball. Collecting your data and having to say ot to your face are not the same.
- Comment on The Windows 11 problem 1 year ago:
Okay, how is that inherently useful? All any form of trusted boot does is make sure, that the OS is whatever the manufacturer approves. If that is an outdated image full of backdoors and exploits, than that is what the TB enforces. TECHNICALLY a phone on android 2 is secure because the TB enforces that awfully outdated image. All trusted boot is good for is to make sure you can’t run acutally secure software on your device
- Comment on The Windows 11 problem 1 year ago:
What exactly is TPM used for in Windows 11?
- Comment on The Windows 11 problem 1 year ago:
No, you can’t blame them. You also can’t blame people for not upgradeing. The truth is picking totally arbitrary install requirements, especially ones that favour new hardware to high end ones alienated the early adopter base. Also microsoft killed any goodwill againtst them by bloating windows even more.
- Comment on Backdoored firmware lets China state hackers control routers with “magic packets” 1 year ago:
I do agree, and Cisco immediately grabbed the occasion to push their shitty restrictive trusted boot policy. Which is worrying.
- Comment on ASUS is apparently killing the ability to root present and future Zenfones 1 year ago:
Yes there is.
If you want a cfw, which you do because your phone either comes with 2 years of updates or has touchwiz.
If you run cfw you NEED safetynet. Even the witzair app crashes without it. If you cfw and need safetynet, you have to have magisk. Magisk needs root for the safetynetfix.
