Because console manufacturers can rely on their customers buying stuff at their store.


Wow, that’s a very short article.
I was sort of hoping for any kind of “I tried it and thought X” style follow-up.


Though I see what you’re saying,… Damn, dude, read the room.

Do you find there to be a split second of delay when you switch to it before it’ll respond to pressing things? Unsure if I’m going mad, or holding it wrong, or something.


Your screenshot doesn’t support your text, and from what I recall they say that:
That’s it. It’s actually about the CD keys, not the game itself. There’s no rule about selling the game on another store, using that store.
Found the doc I was thinking of. They actually just say “a worse deal”, so it’s not even about a lower price.

Your screenshot there seems to be quoting this page, in fact.
My point is that they absolutely don’t enforce pricing, that was something one dev said in a lawsuit and you’ll notice they didn’t get agreement from people. You’re welcome to check the documentation out, or find any other source that isn’t bad reporting based on a lawsuit that wasn’t successful?
No worries if the answer here is “please go Google it”, but I’m curious as to what the end user has to edit?
Do they have to edit your domain into a connections file or some such, or is it more involved? I’d expect a chocolatey package or some form of installer could improve that hugely…


Can you explain how “emailing all your friends about your viewing habits” is enshittification and not just a feature you don’t like?


So, to go back to the question above, would he be suing the American branch of the BBC which is the US-operating segment (and I suspect doesn’t have billions of dollars) or trying to sue the BBC which doesn’t operate in America (leaving that to the US branch)?
Or would be be suing, for instance, whatever broadcast service performed the BBC broadcast in the States? (It doesn’t sound like this)


Something something “there can be only one”.
Sigh. Not that I particularly enjoyed bloodhunt when I tried it, but it’s always a shame to see a game shuttered.
I’m sorry, do you mean Microsoft Copilot 365?

They’re not taking Splitgate 2 offline, they’re calling it beta again.
They’re taking Splitgate 1 offline, apparently because it’s costing them money (but possibly to drive people playing that towards Splitgate 2).


Having not read the article yet:
I’ve used it on my Steamdeck. It saves a fair bit of battery, and can look quite nice for it - but you’ll obviously need a fairly reliable internet connection.
It’s hard to try and super sample, and the official “installer” will trash your non steam games. I was using the flatpak available until this week, and I’m thinking I’ll move back.
Another thing I’ve found is if you limit the Steamdeck enough, GFN will drop the visual quality and it can look pretty awful.
That said, it’s pretty neat to be able to run some windows only games that I might not consider playing on the 'deck, or to easily play Xbox game pass games, or whatever. I played a fair bit of AC Valhalla like this.
Any specific questions?


I think the difference was that there was no impact damage for the vehicles in this game (so people were abusing it), whereas PS definitely did have that.


We’re not talking terminals, though, are we? You can run pwsh in dozens of terminals. As a shell, it’s… Very decent.


Pretty much that - the NAS instance is running all the time, and there’s a setting in Immich for the network address for the ML container(s) that accepts a comma (or semi colon) separated list, which is tried in order.
The docs mention that you can balance requests, but you’d have to use an external method for that at the moment.


If it helps, I have an ml container on my more powerful machine and have my Immich insurance pointing at that, then the local NAS container in order. If it’s on, it powers through (so I turn it on if I’m about to dump a batch of photos) and if it’s not it churns slowly through (e.g. if my phone uploads one or two).
It’s super easy to do! Would recommend.


Wondered if you typo’d the 678 until I read the article - damn! That’s a heck of a range!
I’m not sure you do see my point.
To be clear, nowhere in that article suggests that valve would be making a profit on the current price, or that they “have to make a profit” - just that they would not sell it under cost.
I’m genuinely confused how that becomes “profit motive”, or shows greed.
