It was, but they lost their jobs to AI automation.

PC is an open platform, consoles are not. If a data can be downloaded locally it can be backed up one way or another. You may need a crack to get around the DRM or reverse engineered private server to access some games but the options are there.

At some level this is also possible on many consoles but usually requires either emulation or modded console.

Maybe Jolla phone? Dont know if its good enough for daily driving but seems like it has some potential.

Could this be just clever editing? Does it need to be even 3 minutes of missing footage if you just cut entry and exit of some individual and replace them with fake or repeat frames.

Whole missing minute thing could be distraction.

A real insider threat

Steam is clearly playing the long game with Steam Deck and Steam OS, they’re basically trying to slowly normalize portable gaming pcs. If they achieve this Nintendo will not be just facing competition from Steam Deck but from multiple devices from the likes of Asus, Lenovo, Dell (Alienware).

Millenials born in late 80s or early 90s may not remember but it could still have affected their childhood.

Most European countries do not fluoridate their water. Our solution is brushing our teeth and public healtcare that also includes dental care (albeit it can still be fairly expensive and many prefer private due to long queues in public (Private is like 100-250 per visit in Finland and generally its recommended to do 1-2 visits a year but many visit much less frequently)

He’s not completely wrong. One of the benefits EU provides is better bargaining power for its members against countries like the US.

Sanctions or tariffs on any individual EU country would likely lead to collective response.

Honestly sanctions agains companies like these that can be weaponized politically sounds very reasonable.

They are national security threat in the true meaning of the word.

X-odus has ring to it. It might just catch on.

“And there’s substantial evidence that what DeepSeek did here is they distilled the knowledge out of OpenAI models, and I don’t think OpenAI is very happy about this,” Sacks explained.

What makes this even funnier is that A.I generated content isn’t even copyrightable.

Yeah, especially on mobile where they keep bugging people to install their app even if you’ve logged in. Sometimes they even block you from viewing certain communities on mobile if you’re not using their app but if you’ve desktop site enabled from browser settings.

Honestly the fact how bad user experience X is for unregistered users should be reason enough to ban links to X.

Well A.I is just a tool it can also be used against A.I and surveilance technology. Potentually very disruptive tool at that which may be used against big tech.

That’s wildly optimistic. If I recall correctly, early studies are showing the 51% of participants who saw any improvement, reported an average of a 20% improvement.

Yes the value is wildly optimistic to match the expectations driven by all the hype from these companies pushing their LLM services.

Even granting that optimism, since 5% of all software projects are on time and within budget, we may look forward to a whopping leap to 7.5 out of every hundred software projects arriving on time and under budget, in a best case scenario.

The hard truth no one wants to talk about is that the average software development team is awful. The average software development team doesn’t understand how to deliver high quality maintainable solitions on a reasonable timeline.

You’re oversimplifying things here there are a lot more variables that influence success in software projects. The company you work for might have oversold the project, the client might only have vague understanding of what they really want, project management may fail to keep the costs, developers or timeline in check, client or the company you work for might have high employee turnover causing delays as new employees need proper induction to the project, the initial tech stack may become deprecated or obsolete mid-way the project, etc

Musk has his loyal fanbase who have been impressed by his achievements with Paypal, Tesla and SpaceX.
Honestly he seemed all right before 2020’s but after that he’s slowly become more and more radicalized.

Fortunately his behaviour is alienating a lot of his fanbase, unfortunately they’re getting replaced by more far right fans.

If Musk is ready to lie about his gaming achievements then can we really trust anything that comes out from his mouth.

I mean who cares if Musk is bad at POE2 but the fact that he goes to such lengths to lie about how good he is in a videogame tells a lot about his character and personality.

Maybe EU should just take a page from US playbook and ban these services due to national security concerns.

I mean Musk is clearly trying to influence European politics with fake news, half truths and downright lies. Not all that different from Kremlins troll factories.

This.

What eventually kills these platforms is “death by thousand cuts”. Enshitification, controversies, legal problems will alienate users bit by bit. Competing services will then make some people visit less and less until they stop coming at all.

These platforms are competing for peoples attention/time which is finite resource.
