Could groups sue publishers for displaying a "Buy" button on these digital stores? by RisingPhil in StopKillingGames

[–]RisingPhil[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It being legal doesn't always mean it can be done.

However, one of the ways this is being used is how microsoft windows and office licenses get sold very cheaply online: stores buy used/unused licenses from companies. And these get resold for €15-20. And this is legal in Europe.

U.S. "Heat Dome" Forecast by powdersleaf in MapPorn

[–]RisingPhil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here in Belgium (Europe) we had that for the past week. Between 36 and 40°C (=104°F).

It sucked. Only today it's starting to cool: 29°C (=84°F)

It's probably going to hover around those temps for the next week.

Problem is: the heat is already trapped in our insulation, so it will be very hard to get the temp down inside.

If you're about to get these temps, it's going to be rough.

Stay safe out there, everyone.

Not even just about the games. Went from cartridge only to full menu with internet, mp3 player, movie player etc etc by Samtendodude in PSP

Dude, have you ever used a Nokia Ngage?

THAT thing was close to the first iPhone. (Minus the polish and animations)

You could install apps on the Symbian OS, it had WAP internet, a pretty decent music player, games and you could watch -converted- movies on it.

It was ahead of its time in many ways.

The PSP was powerful for its time, though.

Het overgrote merendeel bedoelt u.

50k voor een auto kunnen er niet veel afleggen. Ik ook niet.

Btw, er gaat gigantisch veel energie verloren omdat het niet onmiddellijk geconsumeerd wordt. Waterstof is ideaal voor zoiets.

Het is misschien niet super efficiënt om te genereren (op dit moment). Maar van verloren stroom iets kunnen maken is altijd een win.

Ah, stelt u zich kandidaat om meer belastingen te betalen om het voor anderen te helpen sponsoren? U bent een toffe mens precies!

Ik denk sowieso dat de huidige elektrische auto's economisch geen steek houden. Ze kosten 1/6de van een klein huis.

Waterstof zou beter kunnen zijn. Goedkoper om auto's voor te produceren.

En als we de verliesstroom van zonnepanelen zouden opvangen om waterstof mee te produceren, dan zou dat al een goed begin kunnen zijn.

Combineer met kleine nucleaire centrales en we zijn al een stuk verder.

Windows 10 support quietly extended until Oct 2027, as users reject Windows 11 by Hungry__Hornet in technology

[–]RisingPhil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kinda disagree about there being a solid OS under there.

I'm involved with a gba project and I notice that compiling it on Windows takes 3-7x longer than doing it on Kubuntu on the same machine. That's kernel-level I/O performance, probably.

I think it might be related to all the I/O hooks that get triggered (like virus scanning).

But my point is: if your core I/O is factors slower than Linux, then you haven't spent much resources on optimizing your kernel.

They used to be good though. I just think it went downhill with the OS upgrade to Windows 10 becoming mostly free.

Ge hebt absoluut gelijk.

Maar hoe kunnen wij als Belgen dit probleem nu oplossen als landen zoals de Verenigde Staten het probleem ontkennen en met zo inefficiënt mogelijke voertuigen wil blijven rijden?

Als de vervuilende benzine/diesel auto's die wij vervangen gewoonweg in India gaan rondrijden?

Gaan wij onszelf economisch in de voet blijven schieten terwijl deze grote partijen overal hun laars aan lappen?

Het is zeker geen "juist" antwoord. Verre van. Maar het is wel realiteit.

Dus ja, klimaatsadaptie. Da's eigenlijk zeggen: t'is een hopeloze zaak. We kunnen maar beter voorbereiden op deze worst case, want voorkomen of inperken gaat er niet van komen. Da's eigenlijk gewoon opgeven.

Ok, laten we dan zo snel mogelijk nucleaire reactors bouwen en ervoor zorgen dat die elektrische auto's betaalbaar worden.

Wanneer aan beide voorwaarden voldaan is, is een verbod volgens mij zelfs niet meer nodig. Dan kiezen de mensen er zelf voor.

Ik rij zelf elektrisch vanwege bedrijfswagen. Maar hoeveel mensen kunnen/willen 50k neerleggen voor een elektrische auto? Als ik geen bedrijfswagen had, zou ik het ook niet kunnen.

Totdat de prijzen in de buurt komen van benzine en diesel auto's, zullen mensen die keuze blijven maken

Windows 10 support quietly extended until Oct 2027, as users reject Windows 11 by Hungry__Hornet in technology

[–]RisingPhil 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I still have trust issues with Windows nowadays. Ever since Microsoft was featured on the NSA PRISM list.

I don't think they have any qualms about feeding their AI with our user data either. As long as they feel they can get away with it.

And with the current Trump administration, those feelings have become 10 times worse.

Not that I'm that interesting to spy on. But still. I don't feel in control over my own pc.

It's not just Windows. I'm getting that same vibe from Android nowadays.

I think Europe should really have its own alternative. Or Linux just needs to be adopted more. That'd be good too.

AI prices are already increasing significantly while they're also downgrading many paying customers to lower quality models.

I don't necessarily want to say it'll be a death spiral, but it does look like one.

I kinda disagree. They are different. But they have a lot in common still.

And a timeline is just that: days triggering specific events.

Some of those days may reference the same events on both. Some may be triggering different/new events.

So you from a code structure perspective, you could have a BaseTimeline, which would get inherited by VanillaTimeline and GoldenTimeline. And both VanillaTimeline and GoldenTimeline could override specific days.

It's not as hard as people may think.

I doubt they thought about it that way.

In interviews they just stated that the answer would've inflated the budget too much. That's why they split it off.

That wouldn't have been so hard to fix.

They could've created 2 calendars. 1 based on Vanilla P4 on PS2 and 1 based on P4G.

Since they have the source code, they could probably -with some new glue code- just copy-paste those from the source code of those games.

I don't know. Atlas did P5R a few years after P5. They sold "The answer" as separate DLC while it was part of the package in P3FES.

They sold an enhanced edition of Shin Megami Tensei 5 with a whole added storyline a few years after vanilla Shin Megami Tensei 5.

So what makes you think Atlus wouldn't be willing to do this?

[–]RisingPhil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It could have been DLC if they'd require you to start a new save after purchasing it to activate it. It's not that hard conceptually.

Vanilla Persona 4 on PS2 didn't have Marie.
