It was always meant to be great in dense areas, which it is, but marketers went all apeshit promising that it was going to be the second coming of Christ. Instead they should have shut the marketers ina corner and called it what it is, an enhancement to 4g. That 4g and 5g would hand off interchangeably.

This is why you should never let business dictate tech. They think they know what they’re talking about but they don’t, and end up pissing everyone off.

Huh, til. In programming it’s simply a way of ensuring something happens exactly one time

I don’t get it

We’re only holding ourselves back, at some point the subsidies for oil aren’t going to be enough. We’ll be watching the rest of the world continue on into the future that we thought we were heading towards

Being skeptical is fine, being accusatory with no proof is a jerk move.

Hi Lisa! I’m Gehngis Khan. You’ll go where I go! Defile what I defile! Eat who I eat!

Thank you! This is the part I was missing, and felt like I was blindly picking batteries. This feels much safer

I trust Batteries Plus, stupid question though, what do I search for? This is new to me, given that I have my APC model, how do I derive what I need from Batteries Plus?

All the information we have is in the blurb above

There’s a multitude of reasons. Contracting/consulting has been a long standing thing in tech. This is the perfect application, they have something they want to do, they know it’ll make money, but they don’t have the staff capacity to do it themselves without throwing out their roadmap. So they go to someone else, write up contracts, have milestones and requirements, and the other team gets it done for them. Remaster, DLC, Hell Oblivion did all of Fallout NV for Bethesda. There are no rules on what can or can’t be done. CDPR has done their QA through consultancy firms before, and that’s pretty standard.

No, this is done by a third party, like how the Oblivion remastered was done. Oversight is done by CDPR though so I have hopes that the story will hold up. They also know they have a high bar after Cyberpunk’s release.

Their roadmap is the same, from what they publicly share. All effort is being poured into W4, while Cyberpunk (2, 2078, who knows), is probably in early development, with the majority of the team swiveling to that once W4 releases

As we learned with Cyberpunk, it’s much better for them to take their time.

Please be good please be good dear god please be good

Good, this is what I was hoping for, especially with demand for AI datacenters shrinking. I hope Micron hates themselves for killing off Crucial when this happens

I’ll concede there, sports gaming and sports gaming are very overlapping venn diagrams

What an odd statement. Xbox is in direct competition with porn and crypto? Do they know any of those things? Do they think people are just like “hm, 60 dollars. I could game, buy porn, or crypto. Hmmmmmm”

Anything to avoid looking inward. Their IPs have empty corporate souls because they’re made by souless corporate entities. Halo, Gears, Starfield, all shallow empty stories, and gamers are tired of it.

Of course they don’t have souls so they assume gamers don’t either. Couldn’t be that were gaming to enjoy a story or feel something deeply, no we’re literally debating on gambling or video games. Jesus Christ so out of touch.

Simply that as I grow older I have learned that nuance doesn’t exist on the internet. A human is boiled down to a few lines of text in a comment. That comment becomes everything the other human knows about them.

Nuance is knowing that humans are capable of holding two separate beliefs, for example that I can believe that the sex industry is exploitative, and also admit that this is funny, and know that those two things don’t contradict each other.

It’s the same argument to me of How I Met Your Mother’s character, Barney. A sexist pig who in all sense of the word is a horrible human being. A binary approach to life says you can never watch the show or laugh at the jokes because he is in there. A nuanced approach is being able to watch and enjoy it, while also knowing that he’s a horrible character, and we should probably make it clear we don’t want more sitcom characters like him.

However, like I said, virtue signalling is important to many people, they have to know that you know how moral they are. To me, we’re all very complex shades of grey, and I’m completely okay with admitting that things are more complex than a comment can express. Yes, I know the irony of this comment

To me the meme is just plain silly. That’s the point, it’s ridiculous, and with the NSFW twist it makes it fun. But yes, I agree, on the internet if you see someone working in the sex industry you see everyone virtue signalling that there are problems with the sex industry, and no one can have fun without everyone being made aware that even acknowledging that the industry exists makes you a horrible evil human being.

No idea why you’re getting downvoted so hard, I found it funny

Step one: you don’t go looking for a money wife. You go looking for a dedicated life partner who you will encourage and support for many decades.
