No. This is just a return to the days of the IE-only web. It will be problematic but it won’t be the end of the web.

This. People are basically in denial over how poorly Mozilla is handling Firefox. They are genuinely going to drive their product to zero marketshare pretty soon.

Without delving into the question over how good the game is, this sounds like a company that simply has the wrong processes in place. A case of “working hard” instead of “working smart.” As a result, they waste a lot of time and resources on things that ultimately don’t matter. I’m sure the person in question worked really really hard on the game, but it’s mostly pointless and ineffectively effort.

Which is why BEVs won’t be 100% of the market as some are imagining. It’s simply impossible for a mostly inflexible idea to replace everyone’s transportation needs. It requires a vast amount of cooperation and extra resources being spent. It’s highly unlike to happen past a certain point.

The average car is basically a pickup truck. BEVs are not even close to being cost competitive. Especially against used cars.

It just needs to be a Steam Deck w/nVidia hardware instead.

Just so we’re clear, BG3 has only one language that is voiced: English. Every other language is in subtitles.

When was the last time you shopped for an SSD? Cheapest 1TB NVMe are around $35.

Starfield heavily leans on procedural generation. It would be many times bigger if it didn’t. BG3 has something like 170 hours of recorded dialogue. Cutting down means getting of features.

So no, there is no room for optimization here. These games are just going to be that big, period. People just need to accept that they will have to get giant SSDs in the future.

Game is apparently a flop. Only 750 peak concurrent players on steam.

They compromised their higher end system with their lower end system. It’s time to admit they made a mistake here, and they are only now starting to fix it.

We’ve already established that the $300 box is not viable for much longer. And since it sold around 1/3 the numbers of the PS5, it didn’t even work as advertised.

Then why even bother with a console? Just define the minimally specced PC box needed for Game Pass and call it a day.

Game Pass includes PC gamers. It’s probably not that profitable either.

Microsoft should really ask themselves why they couldn’t have procured more components, despite being one of the most profitable companies on Earth.

It has faster memory than the Series S. More importantly, it has more RAM. A few improvements here and there doesn’t make the Series S a real next-gen console.

PS5 outsold both versions combined by around 2x. I don’t think it was nearly that big of a deal.

It’s less powerful than an Xbox One X. I think the problem is that they didn’t really think through what a console generational leap would actually consist of.

The Series S will become an ever bigger anchor going forward. Eventually, there will be 3rd party games that just choose not to bother with the Xbox at all because of the Series S.

Except that they can’t. The only thing they can do is to give up on the Series S. Sure, that is a disaster as it means millions of Series S buyers are basically on a dead console. But they’re headed in that direction anyways.

If they’d taken the Series S as the base line during development, they would have made life a lot easier for themselves.

The problem is that the baseline is actually the PS5. It outsells both versions of the Xbox by a factor of 2. So the Xbox Series S is an afterthought, and always will be.

The biggest advantage is backwards compatibility with existing x86 software. You will lose that with a switch to ARM.

If the mods really find it that irritating, they might as well ban all Musk-related news.

GitHub is owned by Microsoft and it seems to be getting worse. It is also nearly a monopoly and that’s bad in general.

We’re going to need a replacement for github pretty soon.

Another example of why federated services are good idea. Also, all such services must be willing to hand over all your data. Which implies open standards and open sourced implementations.

It’s the Dead Internet Theory in action. While it stays a conspiracy for the Internet as a whole, it is definitely true at particular websites. There are many communities which are just controlled by bots and have no real people there.

Then you must be very outdated on your knowledge. The things you’ve listed, they’re solved problems. You can buy hydrogen cars today with none of those issues. Criticisms of hydrogen cars now are just a repeat of BEV criticism back in the early 2010s.

This is just a FUD post. No one cared about green energy until recently. Everything was powered by fossil fuels until recently. And when people started to care, suddenly it becomes impossible because, wait for it, no one use green energy before! It is a circular argument.

It is a matter of when and not if hydrogen becomes a way of powering many types of transportation. Skeptics have their own agenda to oppose this and it is usually not a good one.

This is just a FUD argument. The route in question can never be electrified because it is a lightly used route. The alternative is just diesel itself.

People who question hydrogen pretty much always have an agenda. Either they are secretly promoting fossil fuels, or believe in environmental fantasy that is detached from reality. Akin to how green parties shut down nuclear power development.

Hydrogen tanks are literally just tanks. They should not cost much more than say, a CNG tank.

Did you even read the article?

Then you are free to indulge in your fantasies. The rest of us can just look at Twitter and see what it really implies.

He didn’t found Tesla. He truly did steal the company. SpaceX is ran in such a way where he is basically isolated and prevented from doing anything of consequence. Twitter is the first time we actually get to see his real level of ability.

Stop worshipping a right-wing asshole. He just steals ideas or runs outright scams.
