For being too low.
I’m probably just getting pessimistic with age, but corporations just see dollar signs with subscriptions and reduced expenses with digital distribution. Then they will outlive you and me.
It may be objectively better for players to have physical copies of their games installed on hardware they have dominion over, but we are unlikely to be around to prove that to our great grandkids. We can’t even guarantee even our own children will care enough to try to tell theirs. I’m almost certain owning physical copies of digital content is going to be for niche hobbyists in the future.
As inclined I am to agree with you on a personal level, kids these days are trained to think games just come with MTX, and all bonus content in a game that isn’t a loot box is just paid DLC. All Microsoft has to do is just make this the easiest way to get Xbox games, keep it going long enough, and people eventually won’t know any better or even care anymore. Then they ratchet up the price to make it feel like they’re still profiting from console sales as well.
These days Dr. Evil would still get laughed at for demanding the $100 billion.
Do they even think about where in a functioning society those trillions are coming from? Do they think wealth just magically appears without affecting the wealth gap?
I don’t know what fomo means, but the trick with the Apple Watch for me was to uninstall all the apps by default then anytime I used my phone and thought, “You know, I could probably just do this just as easily from my watch,” I reinstalled that app (or something similar). Ended up taking my phone out of my pocket less frequently and ending up with better battery life.
None of this applies to an AVP, though, but it really isn’t hard to come up with a few useful ideas for that kind of tech in and around the home. Maybe not at it’s current price point, though. (And certainly not out on the streets like some doofuses are doing.)
I'd like to use Jelly Fin, but it has not been a great experience for me on a Mac with an Apple TV. HDR doesn't carry over, some videos are blocked due to music licensing or something, and the library syncing doesn't always work. I'm not sure if it's a Jellyfin problem, a lack of support for Mac hardware, or just my personal incompetence with this sort of thing (very likely). I managed to get Plex to work without issue, so I'm using that even if I don't really like the UX all that much.
WHAT’S TATOR, PRECIOUS??
Oh, we’ve all been aware of that for quite some time now.
There's a calibration process that takes place after a set of Zeiss lenses are inserted and the code scanned. My concern is that this calibration process will likely not be triggered for any insert not made by Zeiss. It may not be a hard software lock, but it would suck if your AVP just didn't work as well just because you didn't buy from the people Apple wants you to buy from, even though it probably could anyway.
Man, apple haters easily make up a far more toxic, elitist, gate-keepy cult than any apple enthusiast group I've ever encountered. Go pester some other group that likes stuff you don't.
