  I’m running windows 10 on a first Gen i7-930. I’ve upgraded my ram and video card over the years but still on a crappy hdd. Windows isnt lightning fast by any means. But it’s not unbearable. Perhaps my mind will blow when I finally upgrade.

  My pc isn’t eligible for upgrade to eleven. Guess I’m sol then.

  Same the normal ads aren’t much of an issue for me, especially since some are skippabke. But about a year or so ago, I was getting 30 minute ads. They were skippable, but if I was just playing the shows in the living room while making dinner in the kitchen or whatever, I had to constantly go hit the button on the remote or be stuck watching 30 minute infomercial for a product I’d never even consider buying. Are they still allowing these long ads?

  You’re absolutely right, which is exactly why it’s just a marketing term now (imo). There’s amazing games that stay in early access for years and years with near monthly content updates, but at the same time, some early access games are complete garbage and the devs never intend to complete the game. They leave it as ea to sell copies to people who hope it will one day get better… But never does.

  Sometimes it’s obvious it’s abandonware that hasn’t had an update in two years, but sometimes not so obvious.

  Early Access is just a marketing strategy these days anyway. I have a couple of games in my library that have been “early access” for nearly a decade. For all intents and purposes, the games are complete, but the devs just keep adding new features. Outside of the major AAA companies, games these days seem to just be ever-evolving, so long as sales are enough to keep the dev interested in adding new features.

  I agree with you here. There may be a better service out there, but I certainly haven’t found it yet. I use Spotify in my car (via USB to my phone), in my kitchen, master bath, living room and kids rooms on Google mini’s or Amazon Echos… And I don’t have to go out and download anything, it just plays what I want when I want it.

  It’s shown right there in the thumbnail. The text reads “Sponsored recommendation”. After some initial conditioning, it seems easy to ignore it after a while, just like the first few Google results or other ads seen across the web.
