If that were true slot machines wouldn’t exist.

So...this only affects people who leave a single tab open for weeks and never have it refresh on purpose or accidentally? Meaning probably less than 0.001% of users?

Guess I’m not the target audience. To me this list is a snorefest. The most exciting thing is maybe the Wii Sports sequel. Also many kudos for somehow getting No Man’s Sky running on a switch!

I am pleasantly surprised that this wasn’t just another “article” to give you an excuse to paste an Amazon affiliate link.

“How to say you’ve never left a flyover state without saying it”

Imagine if you will, that instead of having a single company having 1 or 2 purpose built servers just to handle key validation, you instead had a generic compute network, run by anyone who wants, with thousands (or millions) of servers handling it.

To expand on that, _if_ the crypto-verse becomes mature enough, you’d see a bunch of media types, software, games, etc tie into crypto-authenticity checks. You would be blocked from using bootleg copies (or just not have a “validated” checkmark or something). Essentially, democratized DRM available to any creator,…

No, you don’t. Especially with software, the local software can validate itself against the blockchain, much like how cryptocurrency wallets work.

Keep in mind, the Twitter/Kotaku-sphere isn’t representative of reality (see the “Apple walkout” that ended up being like 2 people).

Main big thing is interoperability and reliability. With any account system or database you’re relying on a central entity to:

“NFTs still makes no sense to me. I mean, yes, I understand the concept. You basically turn something digital, usually something seen as having artistic or collectable value, into a block inside a blockchain, so that it supposedly becomes somewhat unique and “worth collecting”

No, it’s passive aggressive against people like the author of this blogspam who are blindly attacking NFTs with various debunked talking points, and making daily posts about it to drive traffic to their website...

Still extremely efficient. Proof of stake chains for the most part can be run of hardware as light as a raspberry pi. If you’re worried about that, then maybe try to ban personal electric cars, or TVs or something, because those use 1000x to 1000000x more energy than NFTs...

No, they aren’t. Most NFTs are traded on chains that are carbon neutral or carbon negative. How about instead of getting worked up over this, you go protest disposable plastic bags, or try to get the fashion industry to produce less waste. Both of those would have more value than whining about something you clearly…

You can also do research into what NFTs actually are and understand why they are useful and not be an idiot cryptobro...

“useless shit that also massively fucks up the environment”  do some research here. Ethan Gach on kotaku is super off-base on this. Most NFTs are being traded on carbon neutral (or negative) chains, and even the proof of work chains have an extremely tiny carbon impact compared to things that are actually completely…

What a fucking idiot....the point is that you could buy a ticket (which is represented as an NFT) and directly resell it without exorbitant middle man fees. Jesus christ.

Or you could learn what NFTs actually are instead of just reading the blogspam posted here...
