True, but as I understand it, the sales of physical media is dwindling fast.
Maybe Sony shouldn’t kill it, but let it die out by itself, but maybe that’s what they consider this is?
Unfortunately dropping physical media has many advantages for Sony, but probably not for the customer.
We will see if customers can create a shitstorm big enough to make them change their mind as Microsoft did pretty quickly back when they announced it, because the shitstorm was enormous, and Sony scored huge points on announcing continued support back then.
Kind of Ironic that Sony is the one to end it now. Ah well, maybe this will help Xbox become more competitive again.
But remember a big reason Sony did it back then was to keep Blu-Ray alive. And I don’t think that is commercially relevant for them either anymore.

Sony is very well aware of the popularity of physical media for games. 80% of their sales are digital, and cost are higher for physical media, and the share is declining.

Don’t ever think there is a gotcha moment on this issue that Sony wasn’t aware of. They’ve been in this business for 30+ years.

They support physical media until 2028, after which new games will not come out on physical media anymore.
It’s not like Microsoft that tried to launch a new console, that out of the blue abandoned support for physical media.

Yes Weird Al Yankovic is now commenting on AI in computer games? 🤣
I hate stupid fonts where different letters look identical, but I can’t seem to get rid of them!? 😡

That CEO seems very shady IMO, I read his response previously, and it was just so obviously off. I think he is genuinely a sociopath with an inability to interact with people in a normal way, because he simply can’t tell the difference.
I also notice you call him “very mature”, so I think you may have had a similar vibe.

It reeks of dishonesty. Very clearly they used AI, just not VERY SPECIFICALLY for the thing they were accused of firing a person over?

AI Generated Content Disclosure:
The main Campaign story, characters, and dialogue are written by a team of human writers.

Why would you put in things that specifically are not AI in an AI disclosure?
Is that normal?

vomit, and then keep eating.

Maybe we’ve been lucky, but we’ve never had that problem.

Definitely not networked though. That just seems like bad design

Indeed, automatic feeders have existed long before we even had Internet.

Yes I get it for vacations, although even then we don’t use it, but just put extra food out so there is enough for the duration. If a cat has learned from it was little that food is not a shortage item my experience is that they rarely overeat. Giving them a little too little every day however, and you will get a cat that can never have enough.

Yes, that must be it.

We promise to not use your data for AI if you press this button.

Terms of use.
We reserve the right to use data you enter to <long description of obvious necessary uses for the platform to work> and to help the platform. (Meaning we take ownership of the data)

We will only use your data after it has been submitted, at which point it is now OUR data SUCKEERR. 🤣 🤡

There is no such thing as enough data, probably more that users are catching on and complaining.

The fact that users have been automatically opted in to this AI training for years is causing a lot of anger.

But it’s mostly a placebo button:

opting out will not prevent your data being used if you chat on someone else’s stream

You can say no, except not really.

How is it smart to have an app driven pet feeder that relies on Internet connection?
Why not just have one where you adjust and push a button on the feeder? You freaking have to fill it anyway!
This sounds like pure stupidity IMO. But then again we do it 100% manually, and the cat will absolutely remind us if there is no food.

Why even have a pet if you don’t want to feed it. One of the highlights for the pet connecting to the owner!

Oh I thought he already did that. Must have slipped his mind. 😋

😀 👍

Hey poster, can you post a non amp link instead?
Here you are:

Absolutely brilliant Trump. And now that you are at it, why not declare China a US territory too?
I wonder why nobody thought of that before? I guess it’s because they don’t have big brains. 🤡 🤢 🤣

😋 🤣

The perfect solution.

Not entirely true it was only the white skin, she also had black hair and very red lips.
I’ve always seen it as her uniqueness that was considered attractive, not particularly her skin.

Black hair is not a typical trait of people who have very white skin, I guess you could have a similar story about a dark skinned woman with fair hair.
But that would not be an image the Brothers Grimm readers would as easily imagine in their heads, and would be more likely for a story written somewhere where that would be more likely and identifiable.

Aren’t there African stories that have beauty standards about being as black as a black stone?

This is an amazing project. It has saved the day numerous times for me when a game doesn’t work with normal Proton.

Interesting that the video you reference, Linus actually admit that he made mistakes in the review 4 years back.
Also interesting how he has turned 180° on freaking almost every single issue on Linux vs. Windows.
The reason for that of course is that he was basically wrong about everything he thought he knew about Linux.
Also interesting that he now consider freedom a feature, something he completely failed to understand previously, for instance when Skyrim was supposed to have paid mods.
Where Linus completely failed to understand the criticism of that.

IMO he is still a moron, but a slightly better informed moron.
The reason he was berated was because he was a moron, it is not our job of any community to embrace him and be nice to him when he is spreading basic falsehoods and misunderstandings.
