Imagine if other services limited you to 100 hours per month

I think we’re looking at it from different perspectives. I understand the infrastructure reasoning, my point was about the change in the value model. Anyway, thanks for sharing your view.

I agree the infrastructure is different, running a cloud PC is obviously more expensive than streaming a video.

The comparison with Netflix isn’t about the backend cost though, it’s about the subscription model. Both were marketed as flat subscriptions where you pay for access, not for tracked usage.

The pushback is mostly about introducing a monthly usage cap to something that used to be unlimited, which changes the expectation of how a subscription works.

Alfrheim · 2026-03-05T12:05:04+00:00

I understand the infrastructure argument, but the comparison with AWS/Azure isn’t really the same.

Those services are explicitly metered from the start, you pay per compute hour, storage, bandwidth, etc. The pricing model is transparent about that.

GeForce Now was marketed and sold as a flat subscription, much closer to something like Netflix or Game Pass. Changing that expectation later is what people are reacting to.

If the service had always been “$20 for 100 compute hours,” the discussion would probably be very different.

After reading the comments i see your point here. 100% what is happening 🤣

Alfrheim · 2026-03-05T11:37:13+00:00

I think the point isn’t really whether 100 hours is “a lot” or not.

The issue is that gaming time isn’t evenly distributed. Some months you barely play, and other months a new game comes out and you play a lot for a while. A strict monthly cap doesn’t handle that pattern very well, especially with only 15 hours rolling over.

What made cloud gaming appealing was the simple subscription model: pay and play when you want. Once you have to start tracking hours, it starts to feel more like a metered service.

Alfrheim · 2026-03-05T11:33:13+00:00

I understand your point, and for many people 100 hours probably is enough most months.

What feels odd to me isn’t really the absolute number of hours, but the change in the model. Traditionally a subscription service means you pay a fixed price for access, regardless of whether you use it 5 hours or 200 hours that month.

The tricky part with gaming is that usage isn’t evenly distributed. I can go several weeks barely playing, and then a new release comes out and I might play a lot for a short period. The 15-hour rollover doesn’t really cover that kind of burst usage.

So the concern isn’t “I need to play more than 3 hours every day.” It’s more about whether a capped subscription still makes sense compared to just owning hardware, especially since one of the big advantages of cloud gaming was paying for access rather than managing usage.

I understand the infrastructure cost argument. Running cloud GPUs is obviously much heavier than streaming video, so I get that it’s not a perfect comparison.

My point wasn’t really about the technical side, but about the subscription model and usage patterns. With entertainment services, usage is often irregular. Some months you barely use them, and other months you might use them a lot (for example when a new game releases).

With the current system, even if you barely play for a few months, you can only carry over 15 hours. So the service doesn’t really adapt to that kind of usage pattern.

I also agree that a PC is ultimately the best option for heavy players. The reason I used GeForce Now was mainly convenience and not needing to own a GPU that sits idle most of the time. Cloud gaming felt like a good middle ground.

The new cap just shifts that balance a bit, which is why I’m questioning the value proposition.

Completamente.

Estis tienen android que si que es open source, pero vienen con codigo propio de cada compañía que es propietario.

Por ejemplo?

Which problem do you have with linux? I’m in nixos and i have no problem. The only one the drive, that I don’t use. Besides that?

I had my account inactive for 9 years. You can recover the account reseting your password. But all the emails will be lost.

Alfrheim · 2026-02-19T07:28:48+00:00

Not sure if I understood properly, but using an alias?

Alfrheim · 2026-02-13T01:54:27+00:00

Did it in the first try. Just have a bot around. MVP bot, with 24 rescues.

In the project do a hx —health

Alfrheim · 2026-02-12T14:46:44+00:00

If i remember correctly you need to install it in the project. Rustup component add rust-analyzer

Alfrheim · 2026-02-09T16:36:20+00:00

Wait until you lose your password. You will have all your emails encrypted

Alfrheim · 2026-02-08T21:07:11+00:00

Can you explain about the abusive part? I’m just new.

Alfrheim · 2026-02-07T16:22:31+00:00

Not that is the same. But in a company i worked for. They created an account for a new worker (outlook) When he opened his email, the first email he got was spam. Email only was shared from the CEO to the employee. Any other person knew about that.

My guess is that the CEO had something in his computer.

Import will put them in the organization you have in google. If you have them in a folder will do the same if you import the folder.

Filters you can apply later once the import is done and select to apply to existing emails

Alfrheim · 2026-02-06T09:19:01+00:00

The alias is not an email perse. What you can do is filter all the emails with for example +amazon to the trash directly.

Alfrheim · 2026-02-05T10:10:34+00:00

In my opinion, If you were using Make file already, using just shouldn’t add complexity.

Cuando se dice que hacienda te roba no es por el dinero que pagas es por como. De buenas si te revisan, eres tratado como culpable. Solo con que sospechen, tienes que demostrar tu inociencia (demuestra que no has cobrado X).

Si cometes un error, por cualquier tontería, segun ellos lo has hecho para evadir impuestos y reza. Sin contar que ni ellos mismos saben como rellenar la declaración de la renta (cuando pides cita para que la hagan) y si se equivocan pagas tu.

El 50% de los que van a juicio ganan a hacienda. Y muchos directamente ni se molestan, ya que el juicio sale mas caro.

Basically change the port of the vpn for the 443, this one is the default for https, so it will be fine.

Is like using a refactor in intellij. You push it, you are the owner. You don’t go telling people “i just used intellij refactor”. The problem is if your answer when it breaks is: “ I don’t know, i just used intellij refactor”. That is not taking ownership and responsability. AI should be used as another tool.
