That may be true but the license thing was dishonest because no one was really unlicensed in any way. That is like saying I could rake in a lot more money committing fraud than conducting legitimate business.

Putting the customer first? Call me when I can transfer my license to anyone else I want without valve having to okay it like I can a physical copy then we are talking about putting the customer first.

In theory could you not use a prepay card unless it reserves a charge for the theoretical full amount up front?

Why aren’t Nintendo bothering ryujinx like this?

So close, but it was supposed to be a bipedal robot.

That won’t cause bad sectors though, that just means the data you were writing was bad.

Err, what you describe is a remake, the new coat of paint over the same old game is a remaster.

Only not normal behaviour for a pre installed system. Windows out of the box install often requires chipset drivers installing for all but usb1.1 speeds as well as drivers for many 3rd party peripherals.

Sending shoes?

More like actively removed them for yes men at the last election because the competent ones opposed brexit. The current administration is more a populist brexit party than a traditions Conservative platform.

Don’t let pesky things like facts ruin a perfectly fine feel good piece to make gammon feel a bit chuffed with themselves.

I’m in the UK and no one I know considers the 360 to have won, regional preferences for one over the other perhaps?

My experience is that seems to be a US centric view that the 360 “won” it’s generation, I’ve never encountered that view locally and it’s ultimately not born out by statistics although it was the closest Microsoft ever came.

Turns out you can make more money by reducing usability and user choice in an entrenched product because hardly anyone will baulk and jump ship to a different product.

That should be “ownership” as actual ownership implies having control over a thing and no one who “purchased” this seems to have much control. Breaking the DRM and creating a self hosted sever is taking ownership of it. Don’t pretend CD keys were physical ownership either unless the key was entirely validated offline which admittedly older key schemes were.

We are walking talking general intelligence so we know it’s possible for them to exist, the question is more if we can implement one using existing computational technology.

They want to be the Gillette of gaming it seems.

I think the point is that “not having ads” shouldn’t be allowed to become the premium experience when it used to be the standard experience.

It’s exactly a monopoly for the chosen ones, gate keeping at its worst. Anything that isn’t blessed is going to be a bit more effort to get working, but I wouldn’t say Kodi is unsuitable for the average user on the grounds of the widevine module though, the DRM module extraction is automated when installing a plugin that requires it.

Except spirits doesn’t mean tiny physical things, it refers to things outside of the physical that cannot be measured or quantified by definition. If spirit was just their word for biodiversity that would be fine but then we’d be talking about sites being biodiverse and not sacred because we’d have established that sacred isn’t the correct translation. You keep repeating the same baseless justifications for spiritualistic and religious practices to be treated like some kind of science but they aren’t and never will be. They are ritualised behaviours that are successful only because the competing alternatives lead to the collapse of the populations practicing them and would fare less well in alternative environments. We are done here, there is nothing more productive to be gained from you repeating the same misunderstanding of science.
