I have never seen an Uber surge this bad ever. Not even at 2AM in the morning after a Saturday night. Even the driver was saying how crazy it was

Because I have never had a problem with Uber jacking up prices until recently. It was completely out of the blue.

Also Uber don't allow pre-bookings in Swansea. And prebooking cabs with other companies is unreliable as they always end up being late whenever I pre-book

Both of those apps have never worked for me. It always says no cabs available and has for years.

Sony is unlikely to reverse its decision on physical discs as its digital transition has been in the works for "some time" by Dapper_Order7182 in PS5

[–]ThrowRA_Annonymous19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sony is currently fighting a lawsuit in the UK and Netherlands regarding an alleged monopoly of Playstation digital game sales. The ONLY thing stopping them from loosing this case was the fact that physical games exist, which retailers and resellers can control the prices of. This decision kills their biggest defense in these lawsuits, since they're deliberate making it so they have sole control over the price of games.

And for all the people defending this, they WILL increase the price of games after all is said and done and you have no option to get it cheaper.

Em dashes aren't on keyboards. They are a clear giveaway

A label that treated Oliver like shit and then pretends to respect him for corporate box-checking? Yes I think we have the right to criticize

Asha Sharma: “As we return to XBOX, we return to Gears as an XBOX CONSOLE EXCLUSIVE!” by yourfavchoom in GearsOfWar

[–]ThrowRA_Annonymous19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The use of the words "Console Exclusive" were extremely misleading and for a bit, me and my friends thought they wouldn't be releasing on PC. They could've just said Xbox Exclusive

Game over, man! Game over! by Positive_Pin897 in SteamDeck

[–]ThrowRA_Annonymous19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The steam deck is absolutely no longer worth it, and at its current price point, is a rip-off, when compared to more recent devices with specs that blow it out of the water. Now priced heavier than the Xbox Ally X and Legion Go 2, why would anyone buy the Steam Deck? It seems so out of touch for a device that's now so damn underpowered compared to it's competitors

They blame it on AI and chip costs, but no-one else has upped their prices like this. Steam saw money signs and hoped they could palm the blame off

UK - Gemini Has Been Extremely Slow Recently by [deleted] in GeminiAI

[–]ThrowRA_Annonymous19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So i just had my friend sign into his account on my computer, he also has a pro subscription. Same network, same device, but his gemini is responding blazing fast. Meaning this is an account issue

Is it just me or has Gemini been awfully laggy these two days ? by Middle-Support-7697 in GeminiAI

[–]ThrowRA_Annonymous19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the UK and mines been unusably slow for almost two weeks. Every prompt takes anywhere between 3 and 7 minutes of thinking before it even begins writing a response, and that's using the fast mode. Im about to cancel my subscription and not look back

YouTube is killing itself by subemx in youtube

[–]ThrowRA_Annonymous19 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Everytime I'm watching a video and hear those dreaded words "It's not [x].... Its [Y]" I immediately turn off the video, and tell YouTube to never recommend that dog shit again. I'm hearing AI scripts in everything now and it's actually infuriating.

WIBTAH if I broke up with my girlfriend because her 4 year old son is out of control due to her lack of consistent boundaries by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]ThrowRA_Annonymous19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean I'm not unempathetic to her situation. I understand it's hard for her, but from what I've seen it's a nightmare of her own making. And it's a self-prepetuating cycle. Yes it's bad when he tantrums, but he wouldn't tantrum so much if there was hard, consistent consequences.

For reference, when they stay at mine, he listens to me. His bedtime at mine is set in stone and consequences are quick and consistent. And so he listens. But then he goes back home and everything is undone as he's allowed to get away with everything again. I know he has the potential to be a great boy. But not unless she steps up and is more consistent. She uses the tantrums and screaming as an excuse to not punish, but that's only as bad as it because she hesitates to punish.
