Wouldn’t be too bad if they just host threads and abide by ActivityPub without getting hands on, but they clearly want to shape it how they want.

I knew intel have been doing horribly recently, but they are only $83.3B market cap, I had no idea they shit the bed this much.
What how? Intel is still huge compared to Qualcomm no?
Can we stop calling it AI?
It’s a start, there’s obviously a long way to go for road safety in the US, but every little step helps.
They are doing their jobs. but with limited manpower they have chosen not to stretch themselves even thinner by physically chasing a phone. As the article says, they try to be smarter about it.
Location isn’t that accurate, the phone was probably just traded in a car or in the street.
So the police get a call from the phone owner “yeah my phone location is on X street”, the police get down there, then what? Let’s say it was in a house, it’s rows of houses in London, do they knock on every door there and ask “hey have you stolen a phone?” in hopes the guy admits it? It could have been traded already so a description of someone might not be good enough.
I just read the whole article and it just re-iterates what I have just said. They recover a small amount of the phones because of how quick they move them after they have been stolen. It even says that the criminals “wrap stolen phones in tinfoil to block its signal”.
It’s easy to sit in your chair and say “just go over there and arrest them”, without even taking a moment to understand the logistics of tackling it.
Who is to say it was at an address and not just sold/handed off in the street? They don’t just take the phones to a house and pile them up, they will be sold on through fences rapidly and if they can’t reset them to resell to someone, they get sold for parts (hence why this one ended up in China).
With infinite budget sure, worth a shot, but it would cost a lot more than the price of the phone to track it down.
Realistically speaking, there isn’t enough personel or funds, so it isn’t worth attempting to chase the phone down. These phones move fast through fences, they aren’t just taken to one address and left there. The criminals could and probably do have ‘faraday bags’ to block signals from phones as they move them, only ever taken out to sell them along.
All the police can do is record any data they do get and compile it into a larger investigation with the hopes of attacking the head of the snake (but what even is that?).
To be fair, what are they supposed to do? The phone will be handed off a bunch of times within hours of it being stolen. You are not getting your phone back unless the thieves are caught in the act.
There are a lot of ‘fake’ 120Hz+ TVs you have to watch out for though. The real ones are expensive.
The point being really, most people dont upgrade their TVs at all, for as long as the picture is good. Consoles have the hardware todo 120Hz right now.
Thats another good point, when you are sat so far away from the screen, the resolution becomes less important.
I’ve only played two of them and they worked just the same as any other game. You are putting words into my mouth now, I refuted every ‘hoop’ you listed, I never said ‘just deal with it’.
I could build a pc, give it to anyone and it would work in the same vein as a console. What is the point you are trying to make? That PCs have loads of issues? The consoles are flawless? Make sense.
They sell tens of millions.
I have no idea what you just said.
Most games you just click play and they work. You don’t need to install drivers or programs or whatever you think everytime at all.
If they release a dodgy patch or one you don’t like, you can just revert it. On console you are stuck with whatever they give you.
Don’t like a game after a couple hours? Doesn’t work correctly? Refund it.
Mainly its linux that will have issues you have to navigate and that is probably where most of the technical questions you come across root from. If you have Windows then 99% of games will just work as you expect.
Also Nintendo: They are $70. Want an old game? Also $70. Sales? What are those?
Consoles are such a scam when you think about it, but their low barrier to entry carries them (along with the marketing of course).
What’s the point of consoles getting more powerful? Shouldn’t affordability be the main target at this point?
Their main target audience is couch gaming on TVs, which are usually only 60Hz, something the PS5 and XSX can do comfortably.
Give it another 8 years of development Sony, maybe it’ll be worth playing that time around.
The people saying it are generally not the ones supporting the practice, unfortunately the vast majority of gamers just don’t care and buy whatever big thing is marketed to them or hyped up through streamers/youtubers.
I come online to somewhat get away from the ‘real world’, the last thing I want to do is engage in small talk with the local population. You know what kind of people would end up the most vocal on there too, so fuck no.
