Same with Blu Ray. People claim that porn was responsible for the adoption of it over HD-DVD, but Bluray was a disc with nearly double the capacity in the same form factor. In what world would people choose HD-DVD?
People didn’t care that betamax was technically better quality. You couldn’t record an entire sports game on a betamax tape.
The only time I heard of a line for a video game was one of the WoW expansions, but I never played those games. I guess it made some sense because, being a live service game, there was an element of value attached to how soon you got access to a shared world.
If you read the terms and conditions of the Antikythera you’ll know you’re actually only paying for the licence, which can be revoked at anytime.
This is why I’ve not used one. The whole point of passwords is privacy, yet people put them all in one place controlled by someone else where you have no way to verify how secure they actually are. And you need a password to get into it, so now there’s one password that could be breached to gain access to everything.
Which do you want? A single physical disc that is a tangible product? Or access to a server that has data redundancy?
You seem to want the guarantee of high availability servers but expect to claim ownership of the data. You never owned the data, and you don’t now.
I don’t believe resale was ever part of the licensing.
If you buy a CD with software and it gets shipped to your house, you own the disc, not the software. It’s always been this way, we are just now living in a world where the technology exists to take the software away from you after you paid.
I miss when KH was Disney × Final Fantasy.
I bought a Prusa and I like it.
I figured I was going to spend a bunch on this hobby anyway, I may as well lay out and cash to start.
If you buy one and it sucks, then have to buy a different one, you may as well just buy I higher entry level to begin with.
Check out the M4 Book edit. It reduces the trilogy into one 4 hour film and removes anything that wasn’t in the book.
Makes me think of clockwork Orange
The comics don’t continue anything. They add a bunch of shit that didn’t make sense and then end the run without solving anything.
They were both bad dudes, but only one went on a murderous revenge spree and killed children. I’d suggest that one was the real monster.
That’s too cryptic for me to understand. Can you explain what you’re trying to say?
Invalid password. Already in use by Dicska.
I understand what you’re trying to ask, but the “fi” in sci fi doesn’t refer to how non science-y it is. It’s fiction that is themed by science.
Fan of Stargate SG-1?
I disagree that it’s no different to before AI. These days you can prompt for the whole paper to be written for you.
It’s comparing homework scores against exam scores
The kids who scored highly on homework because of AI did poorly in exams. This shows that AI use is just doing the homework for the kids and the kids aren’t learning.
Not in South East Asia. Bogans give us a bad name. I’ve had locals ask me if I was from Europe, because “you don’t act Australian”.
