All these companies are going the same way. Quite honestly I don't know why they bother selling a console at all. Just create an app and a controller that connects to the app. If someone has the bandwidth for digital downloads only then just stream the games.

Yes you're right, assuming social media only recommended what you followed. But obviously that is not what they do. Because views & engagement require exposing people to new content even if it is AI dogshit. So if they are going to do that, then they should provide buttons to say as much.

You're kidding I hope. LinkedIn is just a really shitty social media network and has its equivalent of blueticks where assholes and grifters can pay money to elevate their stupid opinions to the top of feeds. If there is any political slant to this crap it is to the right, but it does not follow that slop should be allowed to make things even worse.

Aggregate means a site can work out the number of views to people pushing the button and take a good guess. Especially if other content from the same channel also gets flagged. And it can be weighted against site reputation, engagement and other metrics. Being able to report slop is way overdue.

As I said "aggregate" and it can be reviewed. In addition, why is this any different than when social media offers thumbs down, or "do not recommend" or other mechanisms?

LinkedIn provides both. Anyhoo, every platform should have a button which is able to report slop, scam ads, copyright infringment and other things without the bullshit of filling out a lengthy form that will be denied. At least then there is an aggregate opinion that can be used to flag garbage content.

And if the supplier gave it on the hard drive to Netflix, then really they should have encrypted it and given a key to use the drive by some other channel like email

Netflix should at least encrypt the content so if somebody lifts the drives it's no good outside of the machine it came from. e.g. encrypted partition / files with a key protected with TPM.

There is no way any aircraft of that vintage would manage the trip without multiple stops. It would take 4-5 days to make the journey at best of times even before considering swathes of airspace controlled by the enemy.

I'm sure there are many reasons to think the first generation will be limited and might even suck. But China demonstrates that they iterate and they iterate hard so you can be sure when the 2nd, 3rd, 4th... generation follow (as they will) their capabilities will be that much more.

The tech might be that old, but lots of chips don't need anything better and its used extensively for CPUs, NAND flash and DRAM. So if they're making machines then all those things will follow.

Most likely. It'll be an opaque, impossible system to complain to, probably screened with AI and arbitrary rejections, without the ability to appeal, or see a reason, or see if the person was punished or how long.

Will there be a way for end users to identify content filmed on AssholeCam (tm), and assuming there is how does somebody complain about a clip without knowing who posted it? Is it digitally watermarked? What are the criteria for banning people? How long are they banned for? How is the ban enforced? Do complainants learn the outcome of the complaint?

And ultimately, why is the burden on people to complain? Unless somebody explicitly says "I consent" to these fucking things, then the assumption that no consent was given. This should be especially true in any country that gives its citizens a reasonable expectation of privacy, and it may partially extend even when they are out in public.

While it would be nice if everyone had personal discipline, these service are predatory because they know there are people who are susceptible to their tactics. It's exploitation and enticement into debt that reputable companies should have nothing to do with. But certain companies clearly don't give a fuck.
