Wow I'd completely forgotten Percy the park keeper was a thing. I remember basically nothing about it but somehow I recognised him before seeing the caption lol
It could when you're literally just running a basic OS and everything else is in "the cloud". Like that Windows 365 box Microsoft released recently that doesn't actually run Windows itself
Oof yeah I can't blame you for leaving after that, I can't imagine it made you feel particularly welcome! Things do seem to be getting worse and worse every year
Oh I definitely agree, and I didn't vote for them. However I was still cautiously optimistic when they won last year as I thought surely they have to be an improvement over the Tories? Turns out I couldn't have been more wrong
Companies back then: Here is a piece of physical media to purchase. It's yours until you break it or lose it.
Companies a few years ago: Fuck you. We know you purchased this digital media with your hard earned money but due to licensing bullshit we no longer own the rights to it. If you look at page 3462 of the EULA that you definitely read and explicitly agreed to you'll see we reserve the right to take it back from you at any time, which we are now doing.
Companies now: Lol you actually want to purchase stuff you fucking dumbass? Pay us a subscription for all eternity and if you're lucky you may temporarily have access to what you want
This year has been absolutely relentless. Got to be the worst year for privacy by far, and tech in general. Especially in the UK and especially these last few months. I will never forgive Labour for this. I know a lot of the legislation like the online safety act was passed by the previous Tory government but they were supposed to be an improvement, not come in and start immediately enforcing it to a greater extent than the Tories.
I don't think there's been a single week since the summer where I haven't seen something that's filled me with dread. I think it's actually making me sick at this point
I can't wait for DLSS 100 where your GPU just generates an entire game from a static image
