IMO it’s great but it is a departure from earlier titles in more than just going to 3D, and the sides are a 90s caricature of the US/China/Middle-Eastern people, so it’s something that you definitely couldn’t make today.

Like the “terrorist” side gets suicide bombers and a unit called “angry mob” to which Chinese flamethrowers or American snipers are a good counter, while China gets two soldiers for the price of one and propaganda loudspeakers everywhere that makes units fight harder.

The story is barely there as well, which was a strong point of the RA2 and Tiberium universes.

This day is to be remembered.

Is it only me that had the C&C Generals Nuke Cannon tagline going off in their heads saying BRIGHTER THAN THE SUN in a deliberate voice and a heavy Chinese accent?

Solar is technically fusion though

Investors are trying to keep the thing going to offload to the next chump, and then US retirement funds will end up holding the bag at the very end when it pops.

It’s very hard, takes a lot of time, and is kinda pointless to scale it up, because everyone knows the demand won’t last.

It’s an oligopoly of mostly 3 companies who together have 90% market share. The third one not involved in this deal just announced they are closing their direct to consumer brand Crucial, and are focusing on AI as much as they can.

So this is only this year, but they can keep throwing nonexistent money at it in perpetuity as long as the bubble lasts.

I can already imagine articles of Americans dying of thirst because all their water has been taken to cool datacenters that use terribly inefficient algorithms to solve Candy Crush levels for me.

And a lot of ESL speakers will write in a mishmash, since they read off of the Internet with mixed sources.

Gadget Hackwrench.

I rest my case. Didn’t even watch the show.

How do you know they honour your decision to deny them the footage, instead of taking it without your knowledge or consent?

Except your GPU fans will start screaming when you press skip.

They hope

Yeah, you’re right, I looked it up.

Apparently that’s the “Chinese characteristics” in “socialism with Chinese characteristics”.

Buy a Framework, I have 4 slots that can be everything from USB-A to C to RJ45 to card readers when I need it, and I can charge the thing from any port.

It’s setting expectations. Just because I can wear a clip on my nose, I won’t stop telling the local idiot to stop farting loudly in the elevator.

I think you’re misunderstanding. I think what the person above is saying is that if Youtube can go back to skippable ads and not pull out of Vietnam or go bankrupt (lol), then places like the EU or even individual EU countries have more than enough leverage to demand this.

No, but some public transit services, random service providers, random SMEs whose services I use communicate solely through Whatsapp.

I’d love that, but I need Whatsapp to participate in society. Several companies, mostly SMEs in fact but also big ones won’t talk to me if not through Whatsapp.

I guess the alternative is locking their people out of Youtube by effectively banning it. Even this is a gutsy move TBH.

It’s the same deal when “how is it that you’re paying taxes if you’re a libertarian”?
