Games haven't run off disc for a while, they install to the drive. Even HDD loading speeds are intolerable in a lot of games, forget about optical.

Discs have only been a distribution mechanism now for 2+ generations. You don't run the game off the disc it just installs it to the HD. (Then layers in a 12 GB patch anyways). Two sets of people benefit: those that want to resell the title and those that don't want the gigantic download. The no download crew is pretty much lost as you generally need "day 0" patch to make the game anything but a buggy mess, so this is 100% about resale.

I can think of a few uses, such as being able to read a document or something on the go. My phone is too small, and I don't want to bring a laptop or tablet with me. But I think a six inch screen is too small still, so yeah, not sure what people are using this version for.

It doesn't matter what they say. Whenever the Apple version launches, that will be when a company like Apple was brave enough to launch such an innovative device that no one else ever thought to do. Truly they are the inventive minds of our time, and we should be so lucky to get an iFold of our own, on sale now for $3500.

"Its legal when the president gets his taste."

Basically a reductive version of the drivel you were posting, and adds just as much. Dismissing what everyone else can see as obvious advancements as "nothing new" is fundamentally idiotic. Don't act like someone else rubbing your nose in it is suddenly offensive when you started pissing on everything in the first place.

Programmable graphing calculators were the same - needed to hook them into at computer to root them and get programs on it but once you did you had a fairly capable processor + display for the time.

Gotta clean up the streets! Its the next logical step. After that its feeding all the surplus "material" into the soylent hoppers.

I don't think this is "steak" quality and a long way from it. Think ultra processed stuff like frozen meatballs and chicken nuggets.

Well the entrenched concerns don't want to even give you the opportunity by straight up banning it before you get a chance to try it. If it truly sucked they'd let the market take care of it and billions of venture would evaporate. But all the free market, small government "don't tread on me" types are quick to go after this as fast as possible because certain donors got their feathers ruffled.

Subscribe to Spotify for a month and use its algorithms to find music you like and build playlists off those likes. Download playlists, import them to your local player, boom.

Rinse/repeat as your tastes change, or until they pirate the spotify source code in which case just run the whole thing off your smart watch in 2042.

And Star Wars - 4 to 6. They should really get on making more of those!

Everyone knows it gives a warmer picture, truer to what the artist intended!

Exactly - look up the THX specs - you need to be sitting about 6 feet from that 65" 4K for most anyone to tell the difference.

Exactly."is so easy why you not do that".
