Comment screwed process (Score 1) 97

This process is completely flawed. How come the studio that are supposed to promote their artists can be so stupid to strike their promotions. And even strike a podcast with no music....And it is even worse than that as I have seen some youtubers complain they had authorization to use a music then the artist later sell their music to one of the big one and they are being removed their oldest videos which were perfectly legal....

One of the issue with Paris is that buildings are very badly isolated. Adding AC without doing proper isolation is inefficient. Doing real building transformation cost a lot and is very very slowly being made as he need to be agreed at the building level and done with respect of Paris architecture.

Comment powerfull than switch 1 so easier to dev ? (Score 1) 27

I dont get their argument except as trying to justify price increases to shareholders. As the console is more powerfull and more closer to the rest of market, developers will have to spend less time on tweaking to fit on undersize hardware as they had to do on switch1. So this should be easier, not to say a dev a game is a easy thing. Hope these saving are spent to dev better games.

With switch2 Nintendo target also pc games for people that want to play both on a handset and docked. So exactly what Steam Deck does...people will probably buy switch2 at some point for the exclusive Nintendo games but not sure what will happen for rest of market. Especially as switch2 hardware will stay for years while competition will move on and the game pricing model is quite different

Comment Re:CAUSE of the outage not CLEAR (Score 2) 138

We dont know the root cause at the moment but the Spanish electricty company told they had to shut down part of network to avoid a bigger collapse and restarting a network is not so easy which is why they say it is going to may be take 10 hours to turn everything back on. They had plenty of power at this hour as it was middle of day with solar producing a lot so probably not du to unsufficient power. The whole European Electricity network is connected so the collapse was contained even if quite big locally.

Comment Re:Unprofitable or badly run? (Score 1) 72

I am not sure it is so easy to run as it is 24/7 all over the world, multi support , with lots of streamers and systems like payment and so on (but they get the benefit of leveraging AWS services)
I find it runs pretty well but they have to maintain quality if they dont want their users and streamers to move elsewhere (as others are actively trying to get a piece of this market), which mean they need people to run and build new things.

Comment Re:Do not buy HP printers. Seriously. (Score 1) 112

I agree.
I used to be a big fan of HP printers like 20 years ago as they had good drivers for all os including Linux, was printing correctly and it was possible to choose your ink.
Then that degraded to the point where after fighting for months with tricks to get ink recognized (which would then stop to work and so on) , I had to dump a functional HP printer that just would not print....
They are not allowed by law to force buying their ink but they will still do very ugly things to make their customers unhappy
Not ready to buy another HP printer for a long time and not advertising their printers to people around so they have lost a few customers/sells already....
Went to competition (which is far from prefect but much better than HP at the moment) with a reasonably priced printer with affordable ink that you can visually see (not like the almost empty (but pricey) cartridge that are common with the cheap printers)

Comment very bad decision (Score 1) 54

this is very bad as it will reduce signal usage in the long term, attracting people outside signal app (to traditional sms, whatsapp or other)

It is pretty clear at the moment in the app when you communicate with someone that doesnt have signal and also it make switching to signal easy when you talk to a person that has signal app

number of persons in general that have signal app is very low , especially among non IT or non security people (but there are some you would not expect, which is why having both support is important as it allow to switch easily to the app by default)

Comment Whoah that's impressive ! (Score 1) 869

Hope that saved some lifes by changing some people mind (there are obviously some that will just never change their mind and argue the people that died didnt even exist and all is fake because they dont like this)
