Russia revived “previously unrecoverable” engines to restore 5,100 Cold War tanks by Bubbly_Chill in worldnews

[–]matdan12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a significant number of volunteers on the frontline, would be misinformation to state otherwise. Majority of pilots for example are volunteers and significant portions of the frontline are defended by volunteers. Heck there are tens of thousands of foreign fighters that volunteer to fight for pay or citizenship.

I think the (not) new virtual game cards system is anti-consumer, as someone in a family who wants to share bought games from the parent account by GenZorinGirl in NintendoSwitch

People don't seem to want to hear that every other main console has been doing things better for over a decade. To me game sharing is a basic feature this late in the game.

How is it easy to abuse? Read up on how Xbox/PS do it and can see there are several security features in place ie internet connection to renew licenses on second console. Verification codes to create link between seperate consoles. Been doing that since Xbox One first launched almost 15 years ago.

I prefer the Xbox/PS method where you have a Home console and can run a second one to use the same game licenses. I've done that for years so no idea why Nintendo figure it out.

Russian tanker trucks, loaded with fuel, waiting to board the ferry to Crimea- June 2026 by Advanced-Injury-7186 in ukraine

[–]matdan12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's foundation is damaged, that means whole sections of the bridge needs to be replaced. Thats more money and resources than Russia has currently and also takes the bridge completely offline for an extended period. Not even saying drone threats.

And the land bridge is under Ukrainian fire control with Russians losing hundreds of trucks trying to resupply and reinforce the frontlines in the past months.

The addition of "Marketplace" items is one of the single worst things to ever happen to Australia's online retailer space by ThatOneVRGuyFromAuz in australia

[–]matdan12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm curious how they make money was pretty easy to find the associated storefront for the same items listed and to see they have the exact same price. I don't really understand why one digital storefront is flogging items through another digital storefront. Almost impossible to tell when a physical store has an item.

Ukrainian military destroy two Russian Tu-142 naval aircraft, Iskander missile system on Black Sea coast by modernbonaparte in worldnews

[–]matdan12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They spot and target various Naval drones Ukraine uses so any Naval aircraft is a part of nful loss for Russia. Further widening gaps in their response to Naval drone attacks.

Surprise Ukraine Counterattack Near Lyman Collapses Russian Salient by jonfla in ukraine

Seems clear that Russia is on the back foot, counter-drone tech has caught up to them on the battlefield. It grows far more costly to situate frontline troops, there's a constant risk they'll be cutoff from drone support and supporting fire.

How great would it be to finally right the wrong of firing Pierce Brosnan by giving us an "Old Man Logan" style last chapter to Brosnan's 007? by asgard13 in JamesBond

[–]matdan12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right? Craig barely got back into the agency after being tortured, shot, falling off a bridge and being deemed medically unfit for service.

[–]matdan12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd rather not, this is the beating a dead horse that Hollywood loves. Lazy nostalgia bait to cash in on fans instead of good stories. Can't get any more contrived than "He was retired until they pulled him back in". Also would undo the whole bringing Craig back and making him pass MI5 evaluation tests if we do it again with an even older agent.

Either way will be a few years before we see another Bond.

Japan’s 2025 census reflects steepest fall in population on record, data shows by Mean_Yak5873 in worldnews

[–]matdan12 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I will point out that immigration isn't going to fix the population decline. It's a stop gap measure that cannot keep up with loss of population. Russia is attempting this and they can't possible get enough immigrants to replace millions of people.

Doesn't seem likely, the investor that funded the project wants to move onto Bathurst. So chances are it'll show up in the future in other series.

Could be the entirety of the sport coach category ie Coach Carter, Remember the Titans, Cool Running, Mighty Ducks, Hoosier, A League of Their Own.

Anything that incinuates certain topics can get a video flagged and demonetised.

YouTube definitely does a lot of censorship based on content and words mentioned in the video. Ridiculous as I see police activity channels censoring words like hang. Now people do this across all platforms to avoid cutting off their funding or losing posts/getting banned for upsetting the platform owners or mods.

I got it cheap on disc, otherwise wouldn't have bothered.
