Hah thanks for that, edited the spelling

Obligatory Qantas never crashed

Edit: spelling

Nintendo used to have Nintendo Selects where the price of a game would be significantly reduced after hitting sales benchmarks, usually $20 when the original game was $50. During the whole run of the Nintendo Switch, no games were given this discount. So on top of charging more for game, they remain charging more for longer, or indefinitely. Breath of the Wild, a launch title for the switch from 2017 is still $59.99 on the eShop today. After Iwata passed away, Nintendo went from making games for everyone to making games for their shareholders.

Is there a really a quota on the CSAM detection, or do you mean catbox would only get a free 1GB of storage? No one’s saying that Cloudflare would give away 1 PB of traffic for free, obviously catbox would have to pay for it. Still though, Cloudflare or another CDN adds a lot of value which would be hard to replicate.

At that volume, you need to scale a lot, which is what CDNs are designed to do. Moving 1 PB a month in traffic would be like a sustained upload speed of 3 Gbps for an entire month, which is huge for any ISP, and cost a lot. You’d probably need to divide the traffic going out which means multiple ISP connections, and more machines for redundancy. Probably at that scale, connections are coming from all over the world, so to reduce latency, you’ll need locations in multiple continents to serve quicker. As you can probably tell, this becomes more than just one time purchases and electricity costs.

CDNs have dedicated fiber links between geographic locations and negotiated volume discount rates on bandwidth with other ISPs. From a cost and a reliability perspective, it means you can deliver content for less than hosting it all on your own.

I think the criteria is that both women talking need to be named. The point being that if the same rules were applied to men in film, it would be easy for everything to pass, but when applied to women, unfortunately it’s difficult for many films to pass the criteria, or require a lot of scrutiny.

This was a triumph

I’m making a note here

“Huge success”

It’s hard to overstate my satisfaction

I haven’t played the Switch version in a few years, but it at least used to be cross platform multiplayer. Not sure if it still is?

Just remember if you need to do anything with subtitles in FFMpeg, you need to install libass

Here’s the original clip from The Simpsons episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4XZxHXSHko

Shhhh just be happy Google Voice still exists, and isn’t in the graveyard. Personally I’d take RCS over webp in Google Voice.

Feels like a bug where someone forgot the 1 in 128kb. What chat app is this?? In Slack, custom emojis can be up to 128kb in filesize

Not sure if this is a bible reference or a Beatles conspiracy theory?

It’s so funny going through the control panel, getting to more and more esoteric settings, and seeing the UI getting older and older. I ditched Windows after Windows 7 but remember seeing menu themes that looked like they haven’t been updated since Windows NT

Does Steam have built in Chromecast support, or are you mirroring the whole Desktop? I’ve had good success with Moonlight, to use Steam Streaming, but have never tried with a Chromecast.

There’s something so poetic in the way you write.

thanks i hate it

Obviously this is antithetical to this community, but when Stadia was a thing, it was actually really amazing. Playing Cyberpunk 2077 on release day with a shit PC blew me away. I’m not sure how it worked in Australia, but the lag was only noticeable sometimes, and never was a distraction or took away from the game play. GeForce Now is ok, but they need to support your game, and then you need to purchase the game + have a subscription. I know Stadia got a lot of shit, and also had a limited catalog, but it actually got me to buy cutting edge games, sometimes on release day, with no subscription.

For me, piracy is not about cost, but more for combating anti-consumer behavior by corporations. Say what you will about Google, but Stadia was actually a good product. I guess it’s just good they killed it before they could enshitify it.

I was pretty sure this was going to end with “In 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer’s table.”

The issue I had with slingshot was in whatever version released for the switch at release, maybe in 1.3? Tbh I have not tried with the slingshot in newer versions

having played maybe 500 hours with controller only, maybe I don’t know what I’m missing, but the controls don’t seem that bad. Only thing which comes to mind as terrible is the slingshot, i never even try to use that.
