I have no idea who you’re quoting.

and also a clunky, fidgetty portable console that’s too big to be practical and too fragile to really want to be carrying it around and risk breaking

Yikes, a gifposter, wish I would have known you were that substanceless type from the start.

Another tech illiterate who thinks this is about storage space and not building, maintaining, and integrating a service. The only greed I see here is your entitled attitude.

Already looked that up. Doesn’t add anything to the conversation. Go to an actual delivery page.

The amount of storage isn’t relevant. Anyone can just buy bigger HDDs, get a bigger cluster, etc. Doesn’t mean anything to the service you have to build on top of. Azure already exists and already works and already has APIs and tools to use. This is a matter of building the service and infrastructure in the first…

They’re not comparing similar formats. I’d be very surprised if 256 AAC was worse (if not better) than 320 vorbis. Both are still better than MP3 regardless and are high bitrate so your average person isn’t going to notice a difference.

I like how this article compares bitrate across 3 different formats. I’ll take 256 AAC over 320 OGG. Also for a service that you’ll likely use with a mobile device codec support is also important here as AAC will be natively supported on a bunch of bluetooth headsets and OGG and FLAC won’t. That in of itself drops…

Take a screenshot of the delivery page so we can compare.

Because having Azure as part of your game console company isn’t standard. If Amazon comes out with a console that’d be a reasonable expectation.

Why wouldn’t they just block it for specific games like they do for online backups? You did read the article, right?

Are you sure you’re not just misreading something? It literally says “Meet at vehicle” for me as my only option.

Found the alcoholic.

People who know how computers work often make choices where they avoid having to deal with all of the things they deal with at work so I’m not buying this answer. Typically, the more administration you do at work, the less you want to do with your own devices based on my experience and what I see from my friends as…

Living the city life of bouncing between roommates for a few years as jobs and income stabilized I’ve experienced many of the pitfalls and then improvements to my moving habits. I’ve done a lot of these tips myself after really putting some thought into how I could do my moves better so clearly I’m in favor of…

Yes, I know how it works with Plex. All in one as it doesn’t require multiple hardware and software solutions. If you’re using Plex, that’s already a separate piece of software from a different company, and then you have to run Plex on a separate piece of hardware which itself has to run a separate operating system…

Whatever makes you feel better, vaper, the studies exist that show that it’s bad for you regardless of how harmless it starts out before it’s heated. Have fun being a sucker for a multi-billion dollar industry.

“Downloading” is just the end-user friendly term. This is more so just “caching” which means that you still need other elements to make it work.

I’m gonna bet it’s a technical issue. Have you used PS Now with PS3 games? It literally looks like you’re using a PS3 with (a reduced feature) cross media bar, same save dialogues, and everything. My guess is that it’s not emulation or at least not fully and there are some cell processors involved.

HD Homeruns aren’t all in one solutions though are they? Amazon’s is and since it’s Amazon I’m sure the setup and usage experience will be a lot more simplified than similar devices. There’s not much here that’s particularly unique and instead they’re Amazonifying pre-existing tech.
