Probably going to work. Just another company trying to wring money from their user base since they can’t reasonably grow. So many people were like “oh I’m cancelling Netflix if I can’t share it” and then it was record sign ups for them and overall more money.

They are doing this right before The Boys comes back on and somewhat during Invincibles part 2 airing. People will be annoyed and pay the upcharge.

And like me pirating those still won’t change much since I already was.

And this is how I found out The Peripheral was cancelled 😭

Stay strong

I’m sure too people will be like “oh but you played 40 hours! It can’t be that bad” but the first 10-15 are misery from a gameplay perspective, like you’re just trying to level up to get more carrying capacity and get more combat options.

Eu salivating over it’s monoply case

How’s it hidden? You to to the default app settings…

Or just install another browser and they’ll walk you through it.

I find Windows way more egregious, it will allow you to set it but not really, half of anything you do will open edge and then they’ll occasionally reset your default browser with bugger updates.

I was interested at first but then slowly came in the freedom of speech stuff.

Sounds like another truth social, rumble bullshit thing. “Don’t worry if your favorite Nazi gets deplatformed we got their back! Now you’ll see they moved to Rumble.” Depending on their discovery it’ll be a cesspit in no time.

This happens so many times. I’m a pretty firm believer in walking away for 15 minutes is a crucial part of the debugging process. It’s just hard sometimes to know when to stop and stop trying shit for a bit.

Also rubber duck debugging, I’ll talk to my dog but fuck it works so many times. Shes helpful.

Sent back for breaking defect.

Here’s the 17 steps to repro…

They lie about seeders though which is mad annoying. Like they add a minimum of 20 to everything

There’s a general sense of you should try to ethically pirate. Like no one cares if you shoplift from Walmart, but you’re a dick doing it to the local mom and pop grocery store who’s barely getting by.

On a more selfish level, paying for the things you enjoy shows whoever made it they’ll get money for it. Simple as that. If you really enjoy something stealing it isn’t going to convince them to make more. There’s been more than once where a game or show got pirated more than bought legally and it’s killed any future projects for it.

How is two taps, the second needing to be precise less movement than one general swipe?

I’m pro net neutrality and all for getting it on the books.

But has any company broken net neutrality since it was repealed? I haven’t seen some of the stuff we expected. Maybe they wanted to lay low on it but like Comcast hasn’t restricted Netflix and pushed out 10x for Peacock stream or anything. I’m sure some stuff would go down eventually. But curious if this has happened

I’d expect EGS exclusivity to be the norm then. People who will buy the game eventually will buy the game eventually. Those are fixed sales since they’d get the same revenue from them either way. It’s just a breakdown of the sales lost from people refusing to buy the game ever outweighs the 30% you gain. Which at this point it seems like a ridiculous proposal since every game seems to launch to bigger and bigger numbers regardless of what bullshit the game pulls. People who wait for sales would barely matter since a steam sale is like a year after release and they weren’t making bank on them anyways.

But at face value, getting 70% of one Steam sale is only 10% more than you’d make off two copies sold at 100%. So one “never buy” looses you 2.3 sales of a game in revenue. Cool but any converted sale from someone who wouldve bought on Steam but can’t wait and buys on EGS offset that in favor of EGS. I guarantee more people will buy from EGS compared to never buying the game. 2.3x more? Yeah, for sure, lol. I’m sure someone could do some clown math for a break even point per 1 million sales at that point. But considering a bulk of a games purchase is at launch it’s just skewed so heavily toward EGS exclusivity makes more financial sense.

There’s also the percentage that just don’t buy on PC and buy on console instead, but again that’s the same cut you’d get just launching it on Steam

Okay but they are definitely hooking up first. I have a hard time believing the app with built in dick pic sharing features and reputation for being useless for dating has people being like “hey QT you have any jobs?”

Even better they can spam literal child porn at you because of “outrage” and youll get a exec from Twitter defending you to parliament!

I mean I was interested, like the stuff they make does tend to have an eye for overlooked features on similar products. Like I am obsessed with a good screwdriver. I have a channellock that I love. Them partnering with LTT for essentially an upgraded one was neat. My channellock is just still looks brand new even after two years of weekly use.

But when the backpack price dropped and it was like “Haha wtf?” Then haven’t thought about it since.

Ultimately this is probably a good thing. From what I’ve gathered of Linus he is a person that can recognize his mistakes, but only once you get past his stubbornness. His response saying they should’ve hit him up is kind of classic response. What could you have said really? Like GN is right that like almost every video has a pinned comment or on screen edit of a correction. And you know these companies are complaining. Yet it continues.

Having their audience put them to task will go a long way to making them recognize it is a bigger issue than individual videos. I’m really curious about the idea of Labs being able to actually test things publically in a way consumers haven’t been able to. (Give me more of transparency like digital foundry for games and Jerryrig everything for durability.) So they need to pull their shit together if they want to claim to be a data driven lab. Like accuracy is all that matters.

I think the ethical concerns section is overblown. LTT is almost harsh on their sponsors and I got a kick out of Linus starting the last video talking about Framework saying how he doesn’t actually use the Framework laptop as his daily driver at the time and complained about it.

Yeah I wish there was a setting that’s like if it’s released in the last two years just grab it. I always have an issue with my peeps wanting old stuff. Like my uncle was like that and I let his shows auto approve but then he asked for some show from 2019 with 8 seasons and it grabbed like 200gbs of shows in a few hours and I was like “nope, no more”

I don’t think so, but I’ve never had someone do that on the old system. They always want all 16 seasons of some old show lol. Drives me crazy. My brother asks for a show every two weeks and be like where are they? And I’ll respond with the like last 12 shows he asked for with zero watch time from tautilli

Yeah I’ve been trying to cut out the middle man. My family isn’t technically proficient and I found just having it sync straight to Sonarr and Radarr was saving me a step since I always have them open and already have them accessible on my website. Since TV shows was the only thing I don’t have auto approve it just made the decision on letting it search or going out and manually finding a pack happen at the point that matters to me.

But yeah I still have the request site up but thinking of taking it down because I still have some issues pop up and less moving parts is better for me.

It’s also a plus for me because I use NZB360 to manage everything on my phone which is much better with Sonarr and Radarr
