  And not only reddit, but the internet as a whole.

  I’m also not really old enough, but I thought it was license costs (as usual with Sony).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Lemmy users feel when they delete their Reddit account⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I just abandoned it years ago. ‘deleting’ the account won’t do much of anything than not displaying the account to user side anymore or move it to a internal only database. At least that’s what I would do if I could and companies regularly do much worse.

  As a watcher from the outside:

  It might not be fun to hear but vpn is neither the solution to government oppression nor a solution against tracking (recently there was a good article regarding that) so all you do is pay more.

  I don’t know. If you look at the picture of the switch lite thumbstick you’ve shown I would formulate the theory that your body oils slowly decompose plastics with rubber component. 🤷

  It’s really interesting. I own a lot of devices and consoles and usually never experience something like this even on well played systems / controllers.

  But in comparison a family member uses his notebook for 1 month and it looks like it had been in a war zone for 30 years.

  How??

  No way! I thought it was a documentary!

  Kidding aside, yup.

  I seem to have struck a nerve there, apologies.

  I don’t think it’s a shit example. It’s the latest I experienced. It’s a good game but hampered technically. Nobody needs to tell me, I’ve been gaming since before dos and grew up with it; I’ve also been working in it for a few decades.

  Look; you could just have a bigger or more gpus with more ram in a pc but if the end result does not significantly look better the question is for what all the effort is.

  And that’s what happened with UE5.

  Yes, maybe in a few years it might look different but it’s also been some time and hasn’t really been worth any of the performance impact.

  And - as said - I see quality impact in UE5 games which I personally can not comprehend in an supposed upgrade.

  However, feel free to disagree.

  Maybe it’s my background in datacenters: of course you can always meet demand with more raw power but it’s a losing fight and the intelligent progress is to optimize and use resources in a clever way.

  At work? Every shit is a browser app now. Hard to organize.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Epic boss Tim Sweeney thinks stores like Steam should stop labelling games as being made with AI: 'It makes no sense,' he says, because 'AI will be involved in nearly all future production⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I really am? (no sarcasm here, honest surprise)

  I thought it’s widespread knowledge that the “upgrade” to UE5 mainly brought a lot of performance loss compared to UE4 while having a signature blurry (or whatever) style which actually worsens the perceived quality.

  For example expedition 33, while it’s style is awesome, it’s performance is absolutely not. It should run flawless on ps5 and on superior pcs but still doesn’t and the fps range is not in line with the hardware capabilities.

  I think I just understood why UE5 sucks that much…

  Yes basically capitalism is rigged and at some point we are forced. Hence wage slaves.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree and I know it’s hard to swallow, but that’s enabling.

  Yes, life is hard and it’s not easy or possible for everyone to change jobs. Still.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it completely impossible to do age verification without compromising privacy?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Indeed, technologically it is absolutely possible in multiple ways.

  But the tempting possibilities of doing more than that are just too great.

  Interesting and curious!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If Microsoft ended Windows 10 support, why is it still getting updates like every other day?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Are you in Europe and do you have a Microsoft account configured? Them you’d receive updates until 10/26.

  Does Windows update (not) show that there’s no longer any support?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ich finde es beschämend wenn in diesen Dimensionen Souveränität erst als notwendig erkannt wird wenn es “akut” wird. Dafür gibt es Fachleute und Experten denen man glauben sollte.

  Da ich selbst einer bin weiß ich aber auch wie das läuft…
