    CNN blocks Firefox with uBo

  • I had that with "I don't care about cookies" add-on.

    I disabled it and then it blocked me for being from Europe. 🤷‍♂️

  • Ubisoft Exec Says Gamers Need to Get 'Comfortable' Not Owning Their Games for Subscriptions to Take Off

    Jump

  • Not really, Ubisoft.

    Much like music, movies and TV, you just need to make sure your content is both available for purchase for people who don't want a subscription and consistently available on a subscription service for those that do.

    It's when you start fucking around and taking them off again because somebody else is offering you more for exclusivity that we get pissed off and just pirate things. You can't expect Assassin's Creed Black Flag to still be making you a noticeable amount of money, but a subscriber can rightfully expect it to be on your service.

    I'm of the opinion that if a game is on a subscription service, be it PSN or Game Pass, then it should stay there except in very extreme circumstances. A game can take weeks to play through, and it's only going to take one large game going AWOL at 90% completion for me to sour on the whole idea.

  • Hamas says two Israeli hostages have been killed by Israeli airstrikes

    Jump

  • Israel operate on a revenge based policy. It really is not about the hostages.

  • Apple hopes to convince people to buy its $3,500 Vision Pro headset using free 25-minute in-store demos

    Jump

  • OK, but that doesn't make it affordable or relevant.

    It's like comparing a Ferrari and a Lamborghini. It doesn't matter because the world runs on Toyota Corollas.

    Additionally, VR lives and dies on software.

  • 'It hasn't delivered': The spectacular failure of self-checkout technology

    Jump

  • Self checkout is just fine, as long as you have enough of them.

    Even better are the handsets you can take around the shop and scan as you go, as nobody wants to really be doing an entire trolley at the self checkout.

  • Temporarily embarrassed millionaires pt. 2

    Jump

  • Yeah, it's a wealth tax we need. 10% a year of everything over $100 million. Yeah, bitch, I'm including all your motherfucking shares and property as well.

  • It's joever. Tachiyomi will no longer be actively developed.

    Jump

  • Yeah, as somebody with an ever growing pile of apps that stop working every time I upgrade my phone, I wouldn't count on it.

    If somebody doesn't take it over and rebuild for every pointless Android change, it will eventually disappear.

  • AI comes up with battery design that uses 70 per cent less lithium

    Jump

  • Is it just a 70% smaller battery?

  • Wi-Fi 7 quietly took off while everyone was looking at AI

    Jump

  • Hell, my ethernet networking doesn't support the speeds wifi6 supposedly delivered.

    Realistically, as long as it's faster than your internet connection, you're unlikely to give a fuck either way.

    I only upgraded to gigabit ethernet for game streaming from my upstairs PC.

  • "Piracy is a service issue.." (Image is a real story btw, link in post)

    Jump

  • Depends on the launcher you use.

  • "Piracy is a service issue.." (Image is a real story btw, link in post)

    Jump

  • Sad that Android TV boxes have better playback than PCs costing 20 times as much.

  • Why is Google allowed to remove purchases from our Play Store accounts without telling us?

    Jump

  • And on another note, why is it not backwards compatible with older apps?

    I've got games and a bathroom speaker I can't access because I got a new phone. Are we just expecting devs to sit there updating their apps forever to meet new stupid requirements?

    Fuck the whole Android ecosystem. It's completely broken from top to bottom.
