Video itself starts with a QR code ad embedded into it. And it’s on Youtube so who knows how many ads I skipped with uBlock…

I swear there’s a weird fetish going around Redmond where their only release is to get you to run SFC /scannow
Really think they’d have got in without Trump?
I think that in order to have a socialist nation you first need a nation.
And you’re not going to get that without being a power hungry lunatic.
We’re still a serfdom ruled by kings, and no amount of window dressing has changed that. At best we decide what colour hat the king will wear every four years.
Sure, but what’s the use case at this point anyway?
“My bluetooth headset ran out of battery and my phone ran out of battery and I want to listen to music.” How often does that really happen?
Bluetooth is less cumbersome than all of these choices, but for under a tenner you can solve all these drawbacks. Whack it in a pocket of your travel bag with your earbuds and away you go. I genuinely couldn’t even tell you the last time I saw somebody in real life with wired headphones. My bluetooth AKGs actually have a headphone socket, that I’ve used exactly twice. Once to watch an in flight movie on a 480p screen on the back of a headrest, and again to use them with my Switch since for some bonkers reason it didn’t support bluetooth headphones for ages, despite having a BT receiver on board. No idea where the cable is for them now. I doubt I’ll need it again.
Well you can prevent it on Steam. And I don’t think Epic really have an ad network to abuse for this either.
If you see Google launch a “free game only” store for PC, get worried. Although Google being Google, it will be deleted within two years anyway.
But they don’t fight for everyone. If they did, maybe they wouldn’t be in this state.
Mate, they practically invented them.
A good move. Nip that shit in the bud right now.
The mobile stores are fucking unusable, a sea of ad-ridden garbage.
Sure, it’s like JPG.
It may not be the newest or best compression ratio, but it works, and even the shittiest old hardware supports it. And I know it won’t whine about licences being missing or some shit.
Oh they’re probably right that it’s not safe to leave your data with Chinese corporations/government.
The real brainwashing is “you can trust US corporations with it instead!”
They’d have never had any issue with Chinese software if they agreed to share all their data with the US…
Plus there’s the electronic opening mechanisms that fail in the event of a fire. This is on most Teslas iirc. Even if the doors are intact, you’re stuck.
There’s ways to open them, but good luck with this shit when you’re concussed from an accident, and sat in a burning vehicle.

Or whatever the fuck Megalopolis was trying to do.
The issue is the people in charge have a different definition of “behave properly” to the rest of us.
Top of the line in utility sports.
Unexplained fires are a matter for the courts.
When it comes to EVs, the US is on the wrong side of history. Tesla may be there, but the US main export is oil and has been for at least 15 years.
Tesla is valuable because they’re looking to put taxi drivers out of a job forever.
China on the other hand has hardly any oil. Same with most of Europe. On this issue at least, we should be allies.
Between them the US, Russia and Saudi Arabia will still boil the Earth, but at least we won’t be fuelling their war machines while they do.
Because it’s all owned by private companies, who will charge the going rate to fulfil power needs.
And since power requirements can’t be met without gas, that’s the price they’ll charge. They know you’ll pay it rather than go without power.
Oh there wouldn’t need to be anything actually good on it.
You just need Superbowl advert money and suddenly you’ve got millions of users with no money.
I suspect the only reason this hasn’t happened already is that those millions of users are already on mobile, being flashed with garish noisy adverts every two minutes of gameplay, and moving them to PC some of the time wouldn’t really increase ad revenue…
