It’s this. Four or five years ago it was ‘block chain’, then it was ‘crypto’ and ‘NFTs’ and now it’s ‘AI’. In another two or three years it’ll be something different. It’s all finance-bro scams used to pump up stocks and make money before the bottom falls out, and it inevitably will. Don’t get me wrong, ‘AI’ is (or…

I don’t think so. It NEEDS to be updated the way they did 2 and 3 so that you can play 1,2,3 along with Code: Veronica in the same style/engine.

For all the hate it gets, I loved playing 5 even as a single player on 360. That said, I want RE1 and Code Veronica before a remake of 5.

There’s nothing wrong with The Marvels other than people are tired of the MCU. When it was one movie a year or every other year? People were all about that. When you have to watch two movies a year plus 3 different TV shows to keep current, people tuned out. Especially because they’re moving onto smaller and lesser…

We have SkyNet at home!

Agree fully. When I listened to the audiobooks, I thought the files were out of order when it switched from the first to second chapter.  It was jarring, and would not have worked at all for a TV show. Simply playing in the universe with existing characters is far more entertaining.

It’s a good show regardless of the source material. I’ve read the Foundation novels and the show is more of a reimagining of them with a few fan service plot points and using a rough ROUGH plot arc. And that’s fine, it’s its own thing. 

The worst part is that if Apple switched to Bing or made their own search engine, a healthy majority of the users wouldn’t notice or care. Those that did care could change it back.

What first? X-Men in the MCU or GRRM releases Winds of Winter?

Sure, but Apple didn’t make it that way. That wasn’t the intent, that was organic evolution of the indicator that you either did or did not have an iDevice. This type of thing has been happening for decades. Social pressure to have Nikes instead of LA Gear (Are they still a thing?), to have Levi’s jeans instead of…

Color me corrected on that front, it’s great new that it is now. The fact that it JUST happened 3 months ago is really telling, though. If it wasn’t encrypted until August of 2023, that’s not much time for anyone to actually pivot plans and that means theres years worth of non-encrypted stuff out there and there…

Thanks for the criticism, but I’m focusing on Google because GOOGLE is the one asking regulators to step in. The headline specifically calls Google out, so that’s why I’m talking about Google.

I guess the thing for me is, why SHOULD Apple incorporate RCS (yet) when it doesn’t do anything that iMessage doesn’t, and all the carriers are not standardized/interoperable yet. 2+ years ago, Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile stopped trying to make RCS interoperable with each other. Basically RCS interoperability at this…

According to this article from Wired, RCS is NOT end-to-end encrypted, however it is from 2019:

WTF? The green vs blue has a meaning. Blue means it went through iMessage and is fully encrypted end to end. Green means it’s an SMS message and, as such, NOT end to end encrypted. I’ve gotten green bubbles from people on iPhones when data connectivity isn’t good. It’s not necessarily about calling out ‘iPhone’ vs…

Hamas is not Palestine or all Palestinians. If a mass murderer is hiding in a school building full of kids, at what point is it ethically OK to bomb the entire school to get that murderer?

Some people like the campaigns. They need to stop remaking the same 5 campaigns over and over again. BlackOps started out FANTASTIC. I loved the real world conspiracy and alternate history stuff. Interesting and fun to play. Then they just kind of shit the bed after that.

Activision really needs to get their shit under control. 100+GB is ludicrous for a console game install out of the box. They need to learn about compression. I know it’s apples to oranges, but if Nintendo can get ToTK under 16GB, then Activision can get CoD under 50GB.

I’m 42. I worked @ EB/GameStop from 1998-2002. N64 was a HUGE seller, games wise.
