We’re talking about a gaming streaming platform. How do you think that concept could ever work without a subscription?
And frankly, adds for the free users really isn’t that outrageous or surprising either. I’m mostly surprised that this wasn’t the case from the start.
D4 really isn’t that different from current D3. In some areas it’s actually better. But of course both of those suck compared to D2 or PoE.
Well it matters when it comes to replacing ageing programmers with very few options available. It’s definitely not something taught in schools today, so one has to be very deliberately learn it.
Don’t get me wrong, you can make a lot of money in such a position. But you also have to deal with COBOL.
Sure, but how likely is this in this specific scenario. We’re talking about a system that’s not even directly controlling the train but just a display on it. The worst that can happen is that those displays won’t work until the system is reinstalled. That’s hardly a lucrative target for modern hackers. There’s way easier target which are worth something.
Well yes. You can code software remotely. That doesn’t mean the end system is reachable through the network. Given it’s DB, I bet these systems are still patched by floppy. Until very recently they’ve used floppy’s to distribute train schedules to be displayed in the train.
Frankly that’s nothing. In the worst case a train won’t start, which for DB really isn’t something unusual. It’s far more disturbing how the whole global financial market sometimes rely on code that’s still written in COBOL.
I certainly got my 30 bucks worth out of it. If I can come back in a few years and find a better game with more content then that’s just a cherry on top.
I certainly won’t trust Musk even as far as I can throw him with such stuff.
I suspect that he doesn’t read dyspotic science fiction novels as cautionary tale but as an instruction booklet.
Well duh. What did you think would happen? That they start loving Israel?
You can’t beat people to stop hating you.
I have just recently bought a FP5 as well and I wouldn’t trust myself without it. Without a case it’s pretty slippery. And just because it’s easy to repair the screen doesn’t mean I risk it getting broken more than necessary. So the 34 Euro I paid definitely was worth it. Especially considering it’s made out of recycled material.
I feared that the fingerprint reader would be hard to reach with it, but luckily it works pretty well. A slight touch is enough to unlock it.
Wanna bet that they will somehow combine this with 5G conspiracies?
“It’s all just a wave after all!!!” /s
The pop up may have been triggered by a technical glitch before they wanted it to. But the whole feature of course was not only developed but implemented into the live version of the game.
- Getting 8 hours of sleep each night.
*DM rolls behind the screen* With the occasional goblin raids in between.
Desperate people resort to desperate measures when normal approaches fail.
Oh great, that NEVER backfired massively.
Oh of course they will still use the data of paying costumers. I’m sure that data is more important to them then any add revenue.
Maybe, maybe not. But the UX pattern they use clearly indicates that they rather have users continue to use the adds version instead of getting 10 euros per month. And that’s certainly not because of the goodness of their heart but because it is better for them as a company. And “better for the company” pretty much always means “making more money”.
But then… why does this system exist?!
Because it works and makes them money! You can bet that other publishers will take notice and you’ll see such money grabbing schemes becoming more and more common.
Hmm, frankly I didn’t even know that Microsoft allows that to be disabled.
And considering that veterans are over represented in the homeless population, they actively hurt those who have served the country instead of helping them. Shameful!
