Aggy

I’m not OP, but I use an Xbox one controller.

The newer ones just use Bluetooth and these days my primary gaming computer is a laptop. Works fantastic, just plug and play really.

I didn’t care nearly as much till I started working at a company that is 100% apple only.

That said, I try to keep my complaints focused on things I found aggravating.

Could you share a link or explain further? I’ve had no idea but don’t pay all that much attention to mobile in general.

I think consolidation creates many issues even if it isn’t a full monopoly right now. Like making it easier for that full monopoly to show up later.

I wonder if it’s the cost of data processing the inputs on servers. The ongoing costs of having software handle it on the client machine is close to $0.

Though it feels like democratizing the checks could work. Like, everyone within a match together is checked by everyone else in real time since they’re all handling the objects moving around anyways.

Though there are probably many good reasons why that doesn’t work or is extremely hard to implement consistently. The idea just came to me

I use them. I’ve found the speeds to be quite acceptable, plenty fast enough to play video games and download movies.

If a creator is on YouTube and nebula I’ll always watch on nebula because they themselves say they make so much more per view. Plus, no sponsors. So same video but they cut that part of the video. Legal eagle’s videos end with extra final thoughts and a thank you for watching on nebula instead of a sponsor segment.

It’s been fun, beat the main story. It’s really short though which is kinda disappointing. Realized that if I had a friend the co-op would probably be a blast

Man, I loved that game and played the hell out of it when I first got it. The music is just so damn good that I still listen to it despite not playing for so many years.

I’ll edit this comment when I get to my computer to link to a great article about this and a history of companies effectively killing federated services .

But the main issue isn’t the data. It’s that when 99% of the users are coming through a company, they have too much power when it comes to updates. Meta can effectively control how the fediverse grows. And if they decided to defederate it’s the normal Lemmy and kbin users who are forced to use meta services to keep in contact with the same people

I feel like AI being the reason doesn’t hold up particularly well from a technical standpoint. From my searching, web-scraping is completely legal. It’d be slower, but a massive dataset is still very collectable.

Plus building a web-scraper is so easy now. Funny enough, generative AI like chat gpt can get you like 95% of the way there in just a few minutes.

Though, none of the reasons they’ve stated so far seem to hold up to scrutiny.
