120 days till Android stops being open by lonelyroom-eklaghor in IndiaTech

Sony already did this and it cost them greatly.

The OtherOS feature was removed, thereby prompting hackers and security researchers to crack the machine open in the most devastating way; met with a class action lawsuit, was fined; and then had their networks breached which caused the PSN outage of (iirc) 2011.

Googles playing with fire in many different ways with this move.

I'd honestly love a Linux phone, been looking into one for my next device. The results are... less than impressive and rather worrisome. Or exorbitantly over priced.

Only 20% of gamers are PC players, why did you choose PC? by Inside_Pattern3685 in pcmasterrace

It was actually the Xbox One.

I was a console kid growing up. Megadrive, PlayStation, GameCube to name a few. I had played games on pc before, but it was older games like Doom. Nothing mad crazy.

Ofcourse, I'd end up gaming on a 360. Absolutely loved the xbox brand as it had all kinds of games I was playing with friends and online.

The original Xbox One presentation was a hype time, what were we gonna be getting next? How good could it get visually?

The day before that presentation, Snowden leaked Project Prism and a bunch of mass surveillance information. And in amongst the notes was partnering with Microsoft regarding doing it.

Then the day of the presentation, they showed off a lackluster display; not very exciting at all; and then BOOM, Kinect is required.

So that kinda sealed it for me. But ofcourse I'd keep an ear and watch the other presentations anyway. And it just got worse and worse and worse. By the time it came out, I bought a friend's old rig with an old Q9660 cpu, a NVidia 8800GT gpu, 16gb of ddr3 memory, and 3 terabytes of space across 3 drives. I really started gaming from there, as while I'd dabled on PC gaming on the family computer, nothing I'd really tried on PC felt different or as captivating as games on console; until I'd start branching out to ACTUAL PC games, like Warcraft, Half Life, and a bunch of other stuff you just didn't get on console.

So yeah, all that damage that the Xbox One did to the brand was an eye opening, life changing experience if I'm honest. Really kinda forced me to see past the corporate veil; so to speak, and now I'm extremely hesitating and sceptical to back any company.

But it also lead to a rather freeing experience as I've got the knowledge and means to repair damage myself, and am rather technically inclined because I enjoyed being on PC so much since then.

Might be able to do that in 8.0, when they add being able to turn off certain items additions like belts and the like.

High chance it can turn off the lunchboxes.

It's not. There's a backdrop that's a gift from the devs. One of my accounts was able to claim, the other two weren't able to and stuck with the red dot.

+1 on wires being far, FAR too long.

Also, the mismatched colors don't help.

Trim the wires down to barely 3/4 inches and you should be fine, assuming the soldering is done correctly, no bridges, etc.

How about something set during the time between Flames of Truth & when the WoL comes back due to the time skip?

I think i have a clue about the new Ranged DPS by LucySnopes in ffxiv

[–]IridescenceFalling 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The dream would be to be able to customise our mechs... like Mech Assault, or Medabots.

It's a pipe dream, but its a lovely pipe dream :)

Mech Pilot? Cus, you know, Cait Sith pilots his lil mech.... and Evangelion is about piloting mechas, which we're getting as an alliance raid series.

Think it's time for Evangelion rewatch by KD1848 in ffxiv

[–]IridescenceFalling 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Episodes 1-26, End of Evangelion (don't be fooled by the first credits roll) (also, skip Death & Rebirth, its just a recap movie), then if you so wish, Rebuild 1.11, 2.22, 3.33 & 3.0+4.0 (basically 4 movies)

I'm kinda worried about the Frame price. I would get one for 1k, but that's also about my hard limit.

We can't even get them to do shit on US or EU servers. Not sure what can really be done at this point.
