You spent more time typing that out than it would have taken to actually check Google’s wording. They claim “7 years of OS updates”, you’re just spreading misinformation.

Dumb things

These are not the same thing.

If they fill the rest of the phone with a bigger battery, yes that’s exactly what I want.

The Mk4 made up a lot of ground, but I agree they are a pricey option. Personally I was able to justify the price by the benefits of open source, if the company disappears tomorrow I’m confident the open source community could continue issuing firmware/slicer updates.

If open source is a big deal for you I would look into Prusa, they have a great track record and a lot of other companies are using forked versions of their slicer. I have a Prusa MK3s and absolutely love it. I had a self sourced RepRap before this and compared to that it absolutely “just works”. I bought the multi color add on and was expecting it to be very finicky, but other than some initial filament loading issues (have to make sure the end of the filament goes to a point) I absolutely love it.

I don’t understand how anyone can call the Disney Vault anything other than anti-consumer https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disney_Vault

There are some truly great apple products, so I don’t think it’s fair to dismiss them all as terrible. But they are overpriced across the board. They also have a habit of anti-consumer practices like giving you a worse experience if you don’t exclusively use apple products.

Valve makes infinitely more money off of store fees selling other people’s games. Why would they want to make a fraction developing a single game when they can go after Android’s 30% cut?

In what way is this like what happened with the civil war? States started leaving the union before Lincoln was even in office, not 3 years into his term

Your concern is power consumption, but then want to use the same board as a server running it 24/7?

Is this your brain on AI?

If a game developer can’t trust the platform you’re developing for, you probably should look to find better business partners.

Their biggest problem is they have to brainwash their users into thinking their product couldn’t have just been an app.

Right, and blockchain/NFT have nothing to do with that problem. Xbox could have implemented the exact same program without a blockchain, they just wanted the buzzword in the headline.

Because then they wouldn’t be able to evangelize NFTs. You see this constantly with crypto/NFT tech, a solution in search of a problem

What the fuck are you talking about? It doesn’t matter how many options you have for an exchange, as soon as you choose one you give the keys to the castle to another person. You have no idea who they are, if you should trust them, or what your recourse would be if they scammed you. But don’t worry the scary government won’t be involved at all. What a joke.
