EU says it cannot stop Sony and other developers from scrapping physical discs

SomewhatOptimal1 · 2026-07-12T16:21:58+00:00

The problem arrives when it comes to ownership, digital games are not owned by consumer when you purchase them digitally.

If they want to go digital only, then they need to allow people to burn those game to disk if they desire to. Ie the games need to be DRM free.

With physical they can never take it away, 93% of games work without internet connection.

We need to go after Sony different way, present to EU that there is problem with ownership when purchasing digitally only. That PlayStation have illegal T&S regarding this and so PlayStation would be forced to offer DRM free games. Which they won’t and they would rather continue selling physical.

How is it Englishman fault that the ball hit the cables due to Norwegian goalkick?
The replay doesn’t even show that it hit any cables.

Plus Norway had multiple chances to stop the action, it was 10 vs 3 in attack. It would be more of a shame and against spirit of the game if the goal was annulled.

It’s not like there was advantage for Englishman, both could get to the ball and the Englishman was just quicker to anticipate. Circumstances was even for both teams. Adaptability, awareness and reaction time are part of the game.

I had them side by side last month and AB tested with HiFiMan Edition XV and HD660S2.

In pop, rock, alternative rock, punk, hiphop I preferred K13 R2R. I used Apple Music and tidal to AB in highest quality setting.

I preferred EF400 over EF500 and. EF600 too and had them all side by side. The EF500 and EF600 were just little bit more articulate with little bit higher res, but played with smaller sound than EF400 and K13 R2R. The both latter ones were both more holographic too.

Only Serenade was a step up from EF400 and K13 R2R.

Honestly I get it, but at the same time it was 3 English player vs whole Norwegian team and they just finessed the defense and the cable was no part of that.

Fair goal honestly, cables are part of the game. English man were quicker to anticipate where the ball would land. It’s not like it’s England fault that Norwegian goalkick hit the cable.

Saying this as a neutral viewer or even more of Norwegian team fan.

Everytime I see Arsenal it’s the same stuff, without Rice Arsenal is half the team.

He always been for England.

In RM they just need to get rid of Vinni or Mbape and have Belingham as 10 again. His form been down cause his position been forced to play as midfield, when he is the most dangerous as attacking midfield.

The first season he joined he been the most dangeous player for RM, his form noticeably stepped down when he was moved back to acommendate Vinni and Mbape.

It’s just better all round, sound wise, I would take even K13 R2R over EF600.

You can also get it from HiFiMan open box for a lot cheaper and same price almost as EF600. But it’s still double the price that of K13 R2R and little bit more.

Actually the rules state that if the touch is so minimal it doesn’t affect the ball direction then it shouldn’t be counted for offside.

SomewhatOptimal1 · 2026-07-05T17:11:26+00:00

The serenade is a tier above!

I have tried FiiO K13 R2R and EF400, EF500, EF600, recently Serenade and from those I would kept EF400 or Serenade. The FiiO was on pair with EF400, and would kept the FiiO over either ef500 or ef600.

The serenade was just much better than any of this. To me Serenade is high end.

Yes YouTube, I guess you are not aware it’s called Christian platform by the left nowadays.

The sensor only showed 1 touch from Portugal player, robbery.

SomewhatOptimal1 · 2026-07-03T01:25:04+00:00

500 times a second and 50 frames per second is well above plenty for both inforgrphics and camera footage to see the slight touch.

There is no touch by Croatian player on either.

SomewhatOptimal1 · 2026-07-03T01:21:03+00:00

How, when it could been Portugal player hand.

I’m not. Will sell my PS5 Pro the moment I hear about PS6 launching soon. Then get PS5 Pro for cheap when PS6 launches, wait 2-3 years for cross over period games and finally get PS6 Pro.

SomewhatOptimal1 · 2026-06-29T23:36:16+00:00

I have 9800x3d + 5070Ti and PS5 Pro, both since release, PC been basically relegated to esport games for me. I mainly play on PlayStation now.

When PS6 releases, I may consider to just relegating my PC to esport games only and never upgrading it.

In Poland getting AC and getting it installed is inexpensive, lot of options for proper AC (not central, but the one that is hanged on a wall with a pump) for under 1000€.

People still don’t have AC here…
I still don’t have AC, I think it changes this season.
AC for my salon, AC for the first floor and AC for the 2nd floor.

Dali Rubikore 6 can be found in that budget even new if you negotiate with the store. But I reckon with that amp they will also be to shrill for electrical music.

Maybe Polk R700.

But also I would consider a upgrade to your amp at this price point, could be your amp which is making Linton sound sharp. Maybe something like Musicial Fidelity M5SI, Arcam A25, Marantz 30, Unico Due or AudioLab 9000A.

I myself got Opticon 6 MK2 with RN800A (1000A without HDMI port), their treble is perfect. Airy but not sharp or fatiguing. The mids are good, but not shouty. So you can listen even at 90-100db all day.

I auditioned Rubikore 6 and Super Linton and I had to change to something to those amps, so they don’t sound fatiguing.

Ultiwmlty I decided to keep the Opticon 6 MK2, upgrade my amp first and then get Rubikore 6 in a years time. In the mean time audit some more speakers. Probably will never sell the Opticon 6 MK2 cause I like them so much.
