  • It's so expensive to upgrade...

  • Yes, summer child.

    They also used to optimize for cards, too, to get the most performance for players. They don't do that anymore, hence they only target the APIs and shit it out regardless of performance.

  • 400 dollars was excessive for what is a 4 year old budget computer in a handheld form. 800 is just outright fucking stupid.

  • the gaming upgrade market was kinda ridiculous anyway.

    We dont need new, more powerful GPUs every 12/16 months

    GPUs should, like, a new GPU every 5 years at a bare minium. New Cards being churned out every year is why gaming is shit, because theres no time for devs to learn, to optimize..instead they just target apis and get it out, and tell us use DLSS/FSR3 if performance is shit, even at 1080p there are still games they expect us to use stupid ass scaling to make playable.

  • I have never hated an engine before UE5. But god it is just a steaming pile of unoptimized, bloated dogshit.

  • Only approved phones can pass Google’s new reCAPTCHA, locking out privacy-focused alternatives

  • I mean, you are disagreeing with facts.

    Cause not only is if factually real, it has factually happened,

    FBI kinda screwed up the case against one of the Jan6ers by forcing them to unlock their phone by forcing their thumb onto their phone. . Granted, it was appealed and the court declared it a violation of 5th amendment (which is great in general, even if it unfortunately helps a Jan6er).

    and there have been numerous other instances of police and authorities have done the same thing, it was not an uncommon practice before that court ruling.. and to be honest, with how power abusive police are, its probably still not that uncommon.

    So you can disagree all you want. but its happening every day. Biometrics are security theater, not actual security.

    edit This isnt conservative media, downvoting doesnt make facts become unfacts, lol.

    This is why the up/downvote systems are so toxic and ruin human interaction. It allows people to carve out their own imaginary realities/echochambers, by "punishing" things they don't like and pushing them down, so they don't have to see them anymore.. And once you hit a critical mass, people just stop even reading and thinking and just join in on the group think with blind downvotes.

    This gamification is ruining human social ability and creating people who don't have the basic means of self control to deal with being wrong, or with contrary opinions, or anything.

  • It’s much easier to steal cash than to force someone to unlock a device and make a payment, so yes it is more secure.

    and with biometics, its not hard at all, you just force their finger onto the scanner/hold their camera infront of their face.. and hell they probably dont even have to be alive to do it, and you've got full access to do everything on their phone. instead of stealing 5 bucks out of their wallet, you've now got access to any and all banking shit on their phone.

  • Biometrics are not more secure, because you can be forced to give it against your will.

    Fingerprint? They can force your finger onto the scanner.

    Eye scan/Face Scan? They can put you in a headlock and hold the phone infront of you.

    You cant be manhandled into typing a password.

    Biometic security is convenience, not security.

  • Need another Roosevelt to come along and take an anti-monopoly hammer to these big companies and shatter them into pieces

  • Google will now verify if you're a human by turning on your webcam and asking you to wave your hand

    Jump

  • Good.

    Fuck google. I just wish the other 5 billion people obsessed with it would do the same. Company is one of many that deserve to die.

  • Google will now verify if you're a human by turning on your webcam and asking you to wave your hand

    Jump

  • Exactly. Its what these companies do every time.

    and there will be no punishment for it, because people are too lazy and stupid to stop using google, and government is to feckless and useless to properly hold megacorps accountable.

    Bet they'll be "punished" by a 5 million dollar fine (which is like, couch money to google, and would probably be 0.005% of the money they made from doing it)

  • Child nudity, even if its medically necessary, is 100% enough for google to delete everything you have with them and to call the police on you, labeling you a pedophile.

    Because its already happened

  • Further reason to avoid google's shit like the fuckin plague.

    The videos are never associated with a user’s identity and are deleted after the verification process. Audio is never recorded.

    My fat fucking ass do any of this. Google is just as data hungry as everyone else, they will absolutely save it, and feed it to their AI to enhance their ability to generate realistic people.

  • Zohran Mamdani is reshaping the Democratic Party faster than anyone expected

  • Yeah, wtf is wrong with Mamdani.

    Doesnt he know hes supposed to make big promises, then do none of it while giving handies to CEOs in his office before selling his citizens out for literal pennies per person?

  • UK: Under-16s to be banned from social media, Starmer announces

    Jump

  • Just cause lots of people call something X, doesnt mean its X.

    Otherwise Trump would be a literal god. And web forums would actually be social media.

  • First of all, Don't blatantly lie about the very thing you are linking to. It is not listed as social media.

    They simply say some people (mostly idiots) refer to it as social media.

    So thats already points on you for intentionally and willfully misrepresenting information.

    Also the entire article is bunk cause it calls Mozilla and Minecraft social media. Which is stupid. Because Mozilla is a fucking company that makes a browser, and Minecraft is a goddamn game.

    Second of all, You can wrongly refer to something as social media all you want.

    I can write Fuck You on a brick and throw it through your window, and just because I Call it Macaroni refer to it as social media, doesnt magically make it social media.

  • One thing that has always sent me into an absolute rational rage is cunts in cars blocking sidewalks and pedestrian passageways.

    and now that I have family in wheelchairs and on walkers, that rational rage has become about 30x more intense, to the point that I have to physically stop myself from bricking their windshields.
