I play in SEA and see the reverse. I don’t think most China players are connecting to Oceania servers, they’re far more likely to connect to Asian servers since the data centers are usually in Taiwan, Singapore and Japan which are much closer to China.

I refuse to give Facebook money and honestly if I didn’t have a WMR headset, I wouldn’t even have bothered.

You’re right but at the end of the day, the average person is content with having their stuff just work for now and that’s a reasonable expectation isn’t it? If it ain’t broke, people aren’t going to go out of their way to protect themselves from a what-if that they may feel is going to maybe mildly inconvenience them when it happens regardless of what it actually is, since they may be ignorant of the true state of how things might be.

And in the end, some are just gonna accept that inconvenience from stuff not working completely rather than switch. People have been saying to switch away from Chrome for years and now even with ad-blocking being nerfed, people are still on it.

The original article referenced was misleading and only referenced browser games. The actual percentage should have increased if you look at Steam stats and use that as a baseline.

Not sure if it’s the same amount of money you’re referring to or if there’s another budget given to them but the video does indicate that for one of them, Intel claims that they have never received the money.

Classic streisand effect

At this point I’d honestly even pay for a privacy focused mozilla browser that is clean of all this crap, just to keep them afloat, but fat chance of that happening.

As much as I’d love for something like that I don’t think it’s even remotely possible. I don’t think enough people are willing enough to pay for a browser that respects them, heck the amount of people who remain on Chrome shows that people aren’t even willing to take a small step to stop using a browser that’s actively working against their interests. I’d love to be proven wrong though.

Instead of capitalising on Google pissing off power users with its crusade against adblockers, why the hell is Mozilla fucking up so hard here? Seriously, which chain of command green lit all of this and didn’t even think this would be remotely an issue?

The other big change that’s coming for a lot of people I know: end of Windows 10 support. Honestly, the majority of people I know who still have a traditional Windows PC are using machines that can’t be upgraded to Windows 11.

The average person just simply won’t upgrade. These are the people who find regular updates or shutting of their PC already a pain, what makes you think they would switch to a completely different OS?

Nvidia would have you believe that with MFG and DLSS. Anyways, never trust the manufacturer’s claims, we’ll see what this triple slot 4060 competitor can do when it gets in the hands of independent reviewers.

Piracy always exists and will always be there once you get an awful deal as a customer. That’s what’s already happening to streaming services. If they don’t learn from that, they’ll just suffer later on.

If I plan to play the game long term and potentially play it on my Deck. The only reason I have Game Pass is for CoD because the player base for that game dies in less than a year when a new one is about to come out.

The page describes the regulations for manufacturers and dostributors. If you import it yourself or buy it elsewhere then it isn’t illegal.
