we use google stuff for work, that’s the only reason I have them.

as for average people, because they are free and almost no one cares about data monetization.

could be nice to have a dedicated always-on device in the kitchen or other family-oriented space. default screen could be like the family calendar or a shopping list or any number of other things.

edit: also:

The Cupertino giant is said to have received a phenomenal deal where it only has to pay $10 per display for the HomePod, meaning that it has the opportunity to price the product competitively and take on its rivals more effectively.

…

Sadly, the pricing details were not mentioned in the report, but given that Google and Amazon have successfully tightened a noose in this category by having a multitude of smart speakers in different pricing brackets, we strongly feel that affordability will give Apple a massive advantage.

confirmed.

the number of times i add a game to my isthereanydeal list and have no idea wtf it is when i get a sale notification.

that’s not too much different than multi-year financing and buy backs/trade ins. But also I guess outright calling it a “subscription” would be awful optics. No doubt someone even less scrupulous like carriers will be doing this soon enough.

does that include a VAT?

I was kind of in a long term funk of “everything is meh”

it was always some level of mental effort to get myself to do things

this is my entire life. I’ve spent a lot of this year with two different psychiatrists and four antidepressants, none of which did anything except a couple fucked with my sleep. Today my doc finally said okay let’s test for ADHD, and apparently my results are consistent with ADHD. So now I am here checking how Concerta works for people.

so why do we need this app again?

except we know Chinese people have been review bombing other games because BMW didn’t win. Sure doesn’t seem like a joke to them.

there’s an easy fix for that, don’t come anymore.

and what is the benefit? why should I take a 5% CPU hit for an NVIDIA app?

Why does it even need to be using CPU cycles while in a game anyway?

Ridiculous that this is even a discussion.

I mean, the Chinese players aren’t totally wrong, support from sales IS an important metric. Swen definitely should have worded that better. But is that worth a negative review, IDK. This seems to line up with Chinese culture as a whole though, which is usually polar opposite to the West.

rampant capitalism over workers’ desires lines up with Chinese culture?

and shitty health insurance.

dear god i finally found worse pizza than st. louis style pizza.

real american cheese is mostly made from a mix of other real cheeses, processed with some other stuff into a new thing.

the individually wrapped slices are less actual cheese and may not even contain enough to legally be called “cheese”.

so basically there are really different grades of american cheese, it is not all exactly the same thing. see the labels chart in the middle of this article:

this is not huge news.

but also when you rework game mechanics, add content like expansions, etc there will be even more new bugs. it’s a moving target.

and I’m saying your analogy doesn’t work.

are all the bugs ever gone from any game?
