Chromebooks Are Getting a New Button and a Host of Google AI Features
  • The first thing I always look for whenever I see new integrations for AI is what they say it can do. And every time I read it I'm not surprised to find out it's just buzzwords and non-features. And even the features it does list, bots have been able to do for years with better results. I've had better luck with article summarization bots on Reddit than with "AI."

  • US couple blocked from suing Uber after crash say daughter agreed to Uber Eats terms
  • And they'll keep getting away with it as long as corporations are treated better than actual people. And you know they put shit like this in the agreements because they know nobody reads them. And every time we get complacent or blame someone else, it only gets worse.

  • The games industry is undergoing a 'generational change,' says Epic CEO Tim Sweeney: 'A lot of games are released with high budgets, and they're not selling'
  • It's because the games are mid or worse. Took me one google search to find a plethora of games released in the last few years that had high budgets and sold very well. God of War: Ragnarok, Ghost of Tsushima, Elden Ring, Horizon: Forbidden West, Doom Eternal, Hogwarts Legacy, Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, The Last Of Us Part II, and so many more. These are just the ones I played. Just because the only game you guys make is Fortnite after abandoning all your IPs and that your Epic Games Store money isn't as high as you thought it would be doesn't mean other people aren't making amazing games. It's just you, my guy. I consider myself a patient gamer and I've bought more full price games over the last 5 years than I ever have.

  • Nintendo Is Now Going After YouTube Accounts Which Show Its Games Being Emulated
  • It's more about accessibility. It's not like they make the games anymore and the emulators they have on the Switch are lackluster. You could buy shit on eBay but if it's a super niche game it'd probably cost a lot of money. Money that doesn't go back to Nintendo. It's not like they're going to lose money for someone playing a super rare game on an emulator.

  • Nintendo Is Now Going After YouTube Accounts Which Show Its Games Being Emulated
  • So... Almost every single video pre switch besides speed running videos? Where the fuck else are they supposed to play them? By the time "let's plays" we're popular on YouTube we were in the time of the Wii or even passed it. And even if they didn't emulate, they'd have to have bought the console off eBay where Nintendo makes zero money from the discontinued consoles. This is literally just control for the sake of control and it's why I hate Nintendo.

  • Microsoft's latest Windows 11 update is reportedly a borkfest that breaks mouse, keyboard, WSL 2 and Wi-Fi functionality. Steer clear of KB5043145 if you're not into BSOD.
  • We're all against Windows. Fighting amongst ourselves is just gonna turn more people off Linux which is the opposite of what we want. If you're trying to get people to switch, the last thing you should do is shame them immediately afterward. They'll just go back to Windows where there's less of a stigma.

  • PayPal opted in users to share their data.
  • Not the same person, but I do a credit card. It's a lot easier to figure out a dispute with my card holder over PayPal. Plus I can cancel my credit card instantly instead of risking my personal information getting leaked as PayPal has done before. And if my PayPal got hacked they'd have access to more than just my credit card number.

  • PayPal opted in users to share their data.
  • Without reading, my guess is something convoluted like sending physical mail under a certain weight or sending an email within a certain date that has already passed. Imma go read it really quick and let you know how accurate I was.

    Edit: Apparently you can just do it in the settings. But they will still do it "as necessary for transactions." Which means they'll probably still do it and just stretch what "necessary" means as far as they take it. Which is equally as shitty.

  • Man Buys Taylor Swift-Inspired Guitar at Auction Only to Destroy It
  • What did this accomplish? This person is down $4,000 and sellers just made money off of someone that isn't even a fan. Sounds like a win for everyone but the person that destroyed the guitar. If I sold my car to someone, I don't give a flying fuck what they do with it. I got paid and it's none of my concern anymore.

  • you're no longer needed now GTFO of my computer
  • I'm in the process of this now. I haven't used Linux in like 15 years so I'm starting slow with my laptop. My goal is to be free from windows on my desktop and laptop before I have to go to Windows 11. I have to use Windows 11 at work and it's fucking miserable. I can understand some of the changes from a personal usage standpoint, but from a work related one there are so many features that just make productivity worse. I've had to change shit in the registry like 7 times just to get some quality of life features that they changed.

  • Massive E-Learning Platform Udemy Gave Teachers a Gen AI 'Opt-Out Window'. It's Already Over.
  • Regardless of what it's for, companies should not be able to opt people into whatever the fuck they want and make it as difficult as possible to opt out. Like the whole thing with forced arbitration going on right now where the only way to opt out is to send physical mail to an address within a certain amount of days. They make it as difficult as possible so people are less inclined to opt out.

  • Major outage: Verizon confirms it’s working to restore service after widespread complaints
  • Hey, I just got a phone call from my brother because he couldn't call anyone. I have T-Mobile and he has Verizon. Funnily enough our call worked just fine but he couldn't call his girlfriend. Apparently he has no problems calling people that are using Android but can't call anyone using an iPhone.

  • Pronouns bad!
  • Oh man, I would have never known if you hadn't pointed it out. Thank you so much! /s

    Regardless of the validity of this story, I guarantee someone out there has done this to a certain extent. People get worked up about pronouns to such a degree that this almost seems like a relatively tame reaction.

  • Multiplayer shooters should get "pure" healers that can't shoot
  • That would just make them even bigger targets than they already are. And now they won't have a way to defend themselves? That sounds like a nightmare. I used to play Overwatch and would always play support. There's no way in hell i'd trust my team to help me if I'm being attacked. They're probably just gonna jump ahead and say "I need healing!" fifteen times and call me a trash healer as I get the shit beaten out of me with no way to fight back. If this is how support roles worked nobody would play them. I already get left to my own devices as the rest of the team ignores me getting attacked in the back line. It's already a thankless and painful role to play and this would make it unbearable.
