I feel like we’ll be having the same conversation about YouTube Shorts in 10 years as we are having about YouTube Gaming today.
Which is to say none.

That being said, that 20-hour postmortem video on Skyrim feels right given how long I’d guess the playtime is on most people’s savegames.
Because Wikipedia doesn’t serve ads or pay Google, so Google doesn’t like to make them the top result for a lot of searches they should be.
Elon, probably:
“Our bot sometimes spreads misinformation? Unacceptable, we’ll fix it ASAP. The bot should always be spreading misinformation, ‘sometimes’ doesn’t cut it.”
They don’t need to satisfy the complainers, since they wouldn’t be paying for Windows anyways. They need to satisfy their corporate partners who will be paying Microsoft for Pro licenses and yearly Office 365 subscriptions.
It’s Microsoft, there’s always something to complain about.
I dunno, most steam power just involves passing an environmental burden down several generations, which seems like a scam to me.
Agreed. Fuck, I’d even say that’s just appropriate damages, not even just magnified to match their means. They killed a doctor. I’d want Disney to compensate not just for her life, but for all of the invaluable medical care she’d have been able to provide for who knows how many patients over a long career which was cut tragically short by sheer negligence.
If an article title is posed as a question, the answer is always no.
You don’t have to use Google’s store, but they’ve done a lot of anticompetitive shenanigans to snuff out competition and ensure they remain the dominant storefront.
After Google saw how much money Apple was making, they seemed to immediately regret having Android be an open platform. It was a convenience when they acquired the product early on because they could bring it to market quickly, but they’ve done everything in their power since then to close it up.
Just keep it on gallery view at all times, look for the current speaker outline.
Seems like it is missing a lot of the conveniences that I was once used to with Nova, though. No ability to reposition the search bar or keep it in place on other pages, no docked apps, no button to open the app drawer, the home screen grid has fixed padding and so on.
I’ve since switched to Niagara which has been okay, but I’ve never found anything else like Nova since.
They are, I saw an article for it the other day. Some compact set top box running Android TV that costs way more than any Chromecast ever did.
Casting is nice but I’m thinking now is a good time to consider switching to something like Apple TV if you need a dedicated streaming device since there’s basically no price difference anymore.
Because Ellen Pao (the unpopular CEO who was ousted) was set up as the fall guy. Her entire purpose was to be at the helm while Reddit implemented (at the time) unpopular measures that angered the “free speech absolutists”. Once that was done, she was cast aside so the anointed pigboy they have today could claim his promised seat on the throne and not have to walk back anything.
I think the frog has been killed for a little while now, it’s not in my current Google Weather app. Just some semi-creepy gifs of people.
And then they get so embarrassed when you look at them with their gift (or lack thereof) and immediately start overreacting.
It’s never just a “free tier” unfortunately. Most times these headlines pop up, it’s “We’re increasing our base subscription cost, but don’t worry! You can keep paying the old price if you’re ok with ads.”
Wondering if Google Glass counts for that, since it was only ever available as a test device for developers. Never made it to general availability before it got the boot.
I am trying to think of scenarios where this will screw with normal users because companies never do moves like this unless they’re after some sort of grift.
But I am not seeing it at present. Maybe I’m just too tired and my brain isn’t working, but if a game is downloaded digitally and the license comes with it, there’s effectively no difference. Take it offline, you still have the license, no issues.
The only potential impact I can think of is if you have two users on a console that is the home console for neither person, and both of them bought the same game digitally. User 1 downloads the game, the license comes with it, and they take the console offline. User 2 then uses the console, tries to play the game they own, and gets a license error because the console is offline and doesn’t know they own it and therefore it can only be played by the person who downloaded it. But I think that’s how it works already, since User 2 would still need the console to be online to import their licenses.
