Do Bosch tools not exist outside of Germany? Here the professional (blue) line is pretty much on par with hilti and Makita in terms of quality if not better depending on the type of tool
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 has won Steam's 2023 GOTY Award 10 months ago:
Just because it’s the same doesn’t make it worse though - so it definitely is up there with the best game soundtracks of games from this year

I always assumed incognito was just disabling history and cookies.
- Comment on What's up with Epic Games? 10 months ago:
The problem is that without those exclusive deals noone would change
Most people didn’t buy EA games at origin or Ubisoft games at UPlay even though you needed those launchers anyway. They even didn’t buy CDProjekt games at gog despite the games being dem free there.
Excluding deals on sought after games is literally the only way to get a majority of the players moving away from there comfortable “I have ally games and friends there already” position
People are lazy and hate change - without force it’s not going to happen
- Comment on What's up with Epic Games? 10 months ago:
No it won’t - people are lazy
Even CDProjekt sold many more copies on steam than GOG when you
- Actually own the ge there instead of renting a licence for it.
- Know that 100% of your money go to the game developers.
- Get many additional goodies for free
Don’t tell me people are choosing the better deal when it’s all just steam having the might of “I have most of my games there already” on their side…
- Comment on What's up with Epic Games? 10 months ago:
Let’s also not forget that game developers have no choice but to release on steam if they want to have any chance on breaking even since they have that huge of a market share and that Epic challenging that already lead to better deals for developers since Valve hat virtually free reign before

I wonder how a strictly linear thread structure is possible to transpose into a branching structure like lemmy

- Comment on ‘I don’t know what else to do’: Carnival Cruise customer spent 2K on trip. Now that she’s passed away, they want a $1,300 cancellation fee 11 months ago:
At least it’s that way in Germany
My father died 2 years ago and my sister and I had to pay for construction at the house he signed off a month before his death even though we didn’t want that and both our lawyers said there’s no way to get out of that unless you deny the whole inheritance
- Comment on ‘I don’t know what else to do’: Carnival Cruise customer spent 2K on trip. Now that she’s passed away, they want a $1,300 cancellation fee 11 months ago:
I mean the mother signed a contract? there’s a “classic” case that if an old person ordered a stair lift and then died before construction started the heirs will still have to pay for that.
It’s just that you inherit not just the values but also the obligations as shitty as it might be
and that she apparently didn’t even send them the death-certificate before going to the media makes this just drip from big Karen-energy…
- Comment on Car dealers say they can’t sell EVs, tell Biden to slow their rollout 11 months ago:
I don’t know how it is in the us but here in Germany many (single-brand-)dealers are also licensed mechanics (for that brand) - and since EVs are taking much less repairing than traditional cars they are basically shooting themselves in the foot by selling them
- Comment on Fairphone has created a smartphone that owners can repair themselves - This sustainable smartphone aims to reduce global electronic waste 11 months ago:
The main upgrade they need is the processor because the companies making those are not supporting newer Android-Versions and at some point that becomes a security-issue.
Problem is that replacing the processor to a newer generation usually means the whole mainboard is obsolete, too and then is very quickly doesn’t become easy to upgrade anymore
just switching between different types of cameras, screens etc. wouldn’t be as big of a problem but that’s also not part of the main-problem either

It’s just sad how stupid or ignorant to modern methods of influencing them most humans are to fall for stuff like this

- Comment on Nothing's iMessage solution might not be as secure as we thought 11 months ago:
The problem is breaking up the network effect from messaging apps.
Noone is uninstalling WhatsApp since there’s always that one guy you need to keep in contact with that refuses to change.
Having aggregators like this is helping break up this

I liked the one a while ago about making every blind person able to see again for exactly 6 hours before they go blind again
That sounded just viciously cruel

Except if it’s in Chinese interest to skew the public opinion in a certain direction (like in this case the Anti-American and anti-imperialist-spins on the war against Hamas)
- Comment on Amazon made $1 billion through secret price raising algorithm -US FTC 1 year ago:
That’s exactly why I don’t understand people defending Steam just because right now they are only using their monopoly against the developers but not against the users. One day that will change and move will have seen it coming.
Same with Google abusing YouTube creators for years but only now when they start pushing against adblock people look for alternatives.
Too many people are just lazy and complicit

- Comment on New evidence confirms COVID-19 vaccines are overwhelmingly safe 1 year ago:
The whole period before about behaving responsibility and using masks showed you all you needed to know about how responsible and interested in the general wellbeing most people were so it only made sense to not leave it up to chance with that.
And it’s not like anyone was forced - only other people were secured from coming in contact with irresponsible and self-centred people that couldn’t care less about them
- Comment on Would you prefer if games had a separate difficulty setting for boss fights? 1 year ago:
Depending on the game I’d even do the opposite.
I don’t care for the 20th fight against bandits to be hard - but a boss should feel like more of a challenge and take more time to finish.
- Comment on Alan Wake 2 - Review Thread (90/100 OpenCritic) 1 year ago:
With how directly Control tied into the Alan Wake universe with their DLC being completely centered around it I’d be really surprised if they wouldn’t go even further now
- Comment on Elon Musk gives X employees one year to replace your bank - ‘You won’t need a bank account... it would blow my mind if we don’t have that rolled out by the end of next year.’ 1 year ago:
Not to mention identity fraud already being commons there
Fire sure fraud won’t be totally rampant…
Also I think the hardest part of being a bank is the shitton of regulations (especially in Europe) and not the software.
Twitter might need to hire a lot of experts and lawyers in that field to make it work.
Also banks are all about trust - and that’s precisely what Elon lost for most people in the last year
