The sensors themselves are also slightly better than 20 years ago, much less 40. Meaning they can probably produce a nicer image before all the AI shit.

In seriousness, I think gaming has LESS pressure from past titles because while classics still get played decades later, many games don't even work on a modern operating system and many are so janky that you can instantly tell they're old. Games often don't age well. You could argue that the same happens for other media but IMO games depreciate more because of the technical aspect.

No, books written before April 2025 are already trash and who's gonna rewatch an old movie or listen to 80's music nostalgically?

Hmm, where are the states rights folks now?

I mean the incel name didn't come from other people, incels themselves made it up to describe themselves.

It could just be that for a lot of people their only exposure to German is that clip from Der Untergang where Hitler gets super pissed and it does indeed sound like yelling in German is way more aggressive than yelling in English - but the other people in the room don't yell back at him and there's nothing aggressive about their speech.

That and the videos of people pronouncing words in different languages and of course ambulance is said in a normal tone while Krankenwagen is yelled because stereotyp funni, but that's based more on how the words look when written down I think.

What DO you use? There's literally three usable browsers out there, one mismanages its finances, one is Apple and one is responsible for the entire web browsing experience turning to shit because they run the browser that everyone uses so they can just ignore the W3 specs and other browsers get the blame when they don't adopt Google's tracking-riddled APIs.

Are we at the end of the operating system development cycle? A browser is an operating system that abstracts away your operating system, at this point.

Anyway, there's a lot of ad tech and tracking stuff to be implemented. You'll love it, Google decided so.

I've posted this time and time again: the CEOs most valuable function isn't making decisions. It's taking the fall when the company fucks up so the board can go "yup we replaced him" and continue to pull shady shit after a while

I do not want this in my underpants.

It's because Giant Pandas come with worse license terms than Adobe products.

China owns not only your pandas, but also any offspring. Piss off Xi and your panda contract won't be up for renewal.
