To be fair to bottles, they cité that even their hosting costs are usually barely covered, so I imagine it’s running on a pretty lean/Foss dev budget already.

Unscheduled home upgrade time ;)

Why would they do the thing they do on the box, the website, in a little packet, and over the phone?..

I think you misunderstood what I desire, I’m not saying to sync game settings. I merely want configurations such as “disable the advert pop-up” and “turn off Xbox controller xbox button launches big picture mode” (whatever it’s called in the actual settings) to sync across my devices. Heck add a toggle and a page that let’s people decide what to sync completely optionally. I’d still love it. Lol

Honestly, I just want steam to sync my settings between computers (best they can). That would be… Game changing.

Is this one of those old obscenely small obscenely underpowered net books?

The explanation is guys in marketing buying fancy lunches and rounds of golf for the guys in C-Suite (Source: A tired IT admin that has had to talk his management team off of this cliff due to fancy tech demo dinners from unsolicited cloud/software companies)

Let us not forget that there is not a single employer on the planet who would willingly hire and pay someone more for their time than that person’s time is worth. Each employee of a company is making that company money. They deserve comfort because they are the company.

😂 fair enough. I’ve been /mostly/ enjoying the 1-connector for everything revolution myself. It is kind of annoying that I have to specifically search for cable brands that print what parts of the usb c standard they support on them though.

One connector to rule them all,

A maze of specs to blind them,

The consortium that forged them all,

in tangled cords will bind them.

🤔 literally why?

Dp over usb type c fixes this…

It depends on the drive and the type of drive, but generally they actually start to suffer bit rot after 6-12 months if they’re left without power at all. DVDs also suffer from bit-rot on short time scales, especially if stored improperly. Also migrating data or having a copy of it on a hard drive is easy, copying DVDs is legally gray, difficult, and they really only make sense as a delivery vehicle for the file to a drive or tape (if you prefer something genuinely long-term storage ready).

Something that people are missing with the whole physical media situation is that it being physical does not preclude it from internet connected DRM, server requirements, etc. It just so happens that around the turn of this century DVDs came along and lacked sophisticated/connected DRM implementations, but it is not inherent to their physical nature. Physical media also decays. DVDs generally have around 20-25 years before bitrot starts to set in. I love the concept, but you’re better served by a hard drive than a DVD.

Harder since Apple bans this sort of gray-area software development in their store. There are some alternatives you can currently side load I believe though, but they require you pay the apple developer tax for a apple developer account last I checked.

But depression isn’t a thing normal people experience! It’s only the mentally ill and we don’t want them at the controls… /s

Gaming is a niche hobby (unless you include mobile gaming, which is unlikely to inspire the spirit of preservation imo).

With stuff like this dude, nobody can tell you if the end result will be desirable. You just have to create for the sake of creating what you want to make, and release it into the world. If it doesn’t do well, take the feedback on why and improve, or halt doing it, depending on what you’d prefer.

Ah, but did they back in 2007?!? 😂 (it’s a meme, don’t think too hard about it.)

Unfortunately the single core speed of arm chips is not fabulous, that’s what is mainly required for good performance in most games. You’re best off going with a r traditionally supported cpu for now. The revolution will come (and it’ll most likely be RISC).

Hmmm… Honestly, it’s a very nice car. Mine is the chronos trim, so it has all the bits and bobs and over in the US we didn’t really get anything beyond the original E-tron Quattro. I will say, I think I’d rather have a BMW iX, it was pretty much nicer in every way (but it does look ugly I suppose). The extra range would be life changing though.
