Nope. I don’t talk about myself like that.
If putin throws a dud nuclear weapon out, would that stop us from nuking them?
No. Because retaliatory missiles would be fired long before the “dud” landed. I can guarantee that any missile leaving any known nuclear site would illicit a response. The only hesitation would be “where is it heading?”. After that though… it’s fair game.
now find out why America doesn’t have universal health care?”
Fucking wish America would stop being the worlds police.
I’m just pointing out that the $300 on the original comment I replied to for ps plus is insane.
And you justify the value of it based on the 3 “free” games a month. To which I’m arguing against. $80 a year for the life of the console will almost certainly be more than $300. With console generations lasting nearly 5 years on average each that’s actually $400 in subscriptions, keep in mind that generations have been getting longer, and seventh and eighth gen consoles lasted for 8 and 7 years respectively… So closer to $600 in cost.
I’m not justifying console vs PC.
But that’s the context of the whole thread…
positively moderated, optimized gaming experience
bwuahahahah. Sure. Cause console lobbies aren’t filled with kids screaming racial slurs. And it’s so positively moderated that all your data including credit cards leak (https://firewalltimes.com/sony-data-breach-timeline/).
How many people actually download and store those installers though?
… The hundreds of GOG-based torrents disagree with this sentiment. You don’t need EVERY person to store it. Just a handful of seedboxes can feed the world sort of thing…
Edit: But this does risk someone being malicious with the torrent of course…
You’re using the same amount of storage whether you buy games physically or digitally.
The difference being that you can load the content back onto the SSD at will, and regardless of server statuses… A lot of people have bandwidth caps or live in places with shit internet speeds.
Edit: I should clarify that I know some publishers only use the disc as a license of sorts with only a few MB of data… I’m wholly against this concept. Think publishers that don’t ship a working game on the disc should be barred from selling physical copies at all as it’s just landfill.
No harm in mocking them for it, but I wouldn’t be ringing alarm bells unless they actually start implementing it in their vehicles.
Right. This is what I’m not understanding though. Ford is the only brand I’m aware of where disabling telemetry/radios is as simple as pulling a fuse on many models of their cars (https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/forum/threads/experience-with-disabling-the-telematics-control-unit-module.36040/, https://www.fordtremor.com/threads/disabling-the-modem-pulling-the-fuse.7101/). The other brands don’t make it that easy at all where you’d need to modify the radio/antenna yourself (and disassembling a bunch of shit just for the opportunity to do that).
Deserting is always an option, and the most ethical one
If you were caught deserting you were killed. And your family often killed as well.
If you were called to conscript and failed to appear. SS would visit your home. You either went with them or was killed… or your family killed. It may be the most “ethical” in your eyes… but these decisions are hard and come with a lot of strife and pain.
Source: First hand account from a conscripted German. Aka my grandfather, who was lucky enough to be conscripted in the very end of the war and DID manage to get a way with desertion only due to that luck. I have family which accounts were documented of the SS killing them for even mentioning that the SS did something inhumane ( a great-uncle of mine).
Has nothing to do with country. Discs are round objects. In the computing sense that’s cds, dvds, etc.
Disks are floppy disks(diskette, “discette” never existed as a word) , hard drive disks… etc. There is a difference and it has nothing to do with what land you’re in. Disk in usa never meant a circular object like a Frisbee (discus for example)
