AWS, Azure, and GCP had plenty of capacity 6 years ago for the entire “web” that they ran, now all of a sudden they need 20x the capacity.

AI requires insanely power hungry GPUs and massive cooling infrastructure.

It’s not exactly rocket science to see what happened.

rather than mourn, are they going after Samsung to replace said food? When I worked best buy our warranty covered food spoilage up to 2 years I believe (if it was the fridge/freezer’s fault, not just a random power outage or something). I’d expect Samsung to do the same.

I remember the big CoD vs Halo “wars” back in the day, and this is exactly what I didn’t want. I liked Halo’s slower combat, more strategy combining shields, grenades, melee, and weapons. Now (5 and Infinite confirmed) it’s just another twitch shooter, with pistols/rifles that act like snipers and everyone trying to one shot. The few Infinite MP games I did play I was always alone in the warthog while others just went on solo. It’s not the same experience it used to be.

They want Xbox to make a resounding comeback while also removing all of the talent from the studios. Cat’s out of the bag, we already know it’s not “14 layers of management” being fired, it’s everyone. They aren’t making the latest awesome Halo for the next Xbox, they want some sloppy sad corporate approved vibe coded cheap thing that they can ship with the limited number of new consoles.

and people will still go buy it in droves.

it is nice to think that way, and I do vote that way and try to be the best human I can. However I think you’re right, it’s idealism vs realism.

That’s me buying and upgrading our cooling HVAC to prep for hotter summers, but also making it a heat pump so I don’t need to burn gas anymore. It’s also my recycling and reducing consumption even though I know I’m one person in a vast sea. I try to follow Nemik’s words from Andor: “Try”. What most people refuse to do at all is to try to improve our world, as long as you’re trying, you’re doing more than the vast majority.

That’s why I think I’m just calling it. Halo 5 was bad, Infinite had good gameplay but the story was meandering and boring.

Campaign Evolved was the second remake of the original, which again is just graphic flashiness with none of the understanding of what made the game special to begin with.

Multiplayer has been moving from the magic that was 2 and 3 to more CoD style because they don’t understand that you can have a shooter that isn’t a twitch shooter. So I don’t have any hope for their multiplayer either.

I’m very sad, but I’m just kind of done with it.

There’s two sides to that that Lemmy won’t ever get.

There’s the equality side of me who says everyone should live on a planet that isn’t warming and we should do everything we can to stop it, which is why I’ve removed all but one fossil fuel use from my life.

The other side has a family I need to keep safe, which is why I overhauled our HVAC system to handle the higher temps.

Game fails? Layoff Game succeeds? Layoff

There’s dozens of free open source apps that do this already. Why would I want to lock into a what appears to be proprietary (and probably vibe coded soon to be abandoned) project?

I feel you and your frustrations, same for me on all accounts. Mom wonders why I don’t visit often but then sits there on Facebook the entire time.

I tried to fight it online, you won’t win. Their algorithms bury your stuff, your comments get the stupid laughing emoji, it’s not worth it. Plus it just starts to suck you in so it’s a lose lose.

The only thing that helps is getting them off their phones. There’s no silver bullet there, but simply disconnecting them somehow. Starting a hobby with them, or hiking, or something that isn’t being in their phones. If you ban phones you’re the villain so be careful, but you can do things that are less phone involved. When they’re not memorized by their phones they come back a little.

No way man my games have always been only made by strong alpha bro men guys! They didn’t have HR or women or anything man, and they were only white too!

Seriously with the sexist AI slop

It is just insane how freaking tiny we can make things. The fact that we have computers at all is simply incredible.

How do you get started?

WHAT IF HE DECIDES TO TALK IN ALL CAPS AGAIN?

Very interesting, first I’ve heard of them. I’d live to hear more, to help diversify my aquisition of Linux isos of course

How does that replace everything?

How does that work?

Standard corporate America right there. You proved our product is a sham and worthless? How dare you we’ll sue you out of existence!

God forbid they step back and rethink their product.

If they went straight to legal it means they legit don’t know how to stop it. That’s pretty damning for them.

First step would be to analyze the hack and the patch it so that the bypasses no longer work. I’m guessing the hack exposes a serious flaw.

Could be either honestly. I always hated how AWS did their multi-region setup, where it’s basically a whole separate account. So difficult to do multi region setups. GCP and Azure both made that much much easier. For this exact reason, I don’t really trust AZs. They’re all too close together still. I want the data replicated around the planet.
