LOL...guess you get all your "news" for MSNBC, right?

Copilot is by far the worst implemented AI tool I've ever tried. As part of my necessary switch to Linux (fuck Windows 11), I've switched to Rider from Visual Studio, and found its AI tools to be infinitely better implemented.

Also, goddamn Rider is amazing. It puts VS to shame in every way, can't believe I never tried it till now.

AAA titles typically require over a billion USD to develop these days, and the industry is not immune to inflation pressures. I wouldn't be so harsh, considering that a game like GTA6 is gonna probably provide you a decade or more of play time.

Most more "full featured" games, frankly, struggle hard to release games on time precisely because they cost so much to develop, and gaming "influencers" get so uppity at every price hike.

It's stalled because is was driven in a big part to the imminent release of GTA6, which was delayed a few months ago by a year so they could add AI features. Prices will very likely still go up, just wait till next year.

Everyone was thinking the game would suck up the industry's revenue for a while, so they were planning to raise prices.

I'm pretty sure protecting his own ass is always priority #1.

Remember, this is the guy that stood at a cemetery in Normandy and reportedly said that he didn't understand what was in it for them to die liberating Europe from fascist occupation.

Personal sacrifice is a completely alien concept to that cunt.

There are lots of things that eat insects like mosquitoes. Extincting mosquitoes reduces the food supply at the bottom of the food chain, causing ripple effects (i.e. unanticipated secondary ecological damage) throughout.

How about we don't do that? We've done an awesome job of fucking up the planet already without that kind of effort.

They won't make VPNs illegal, because that would be absolute lunacy that would be mocked along the lines of Senator Ted "series of tubes" Stevens.

What they will do is have the Department of Justice sue the large VPN providers into oblivion for conspiring to enable mass copyright violation or some shit, highlighting their refusal to block these sites that a federal judge has determined should be blocked under this law. This is the first domino that allows them to have a legal crack at the VPN providers, which is what the media industry really wants crushed.

Corporate VPNs and site-to-site tunnels will still be just fine.

Yes, these laws can be easily circumvented with existing commercial services.

Speed laws are easily circumvented by pushing your right foot to the firewall. Watch them tack on criminal charges for embargo evasion, and use that as a back door to legal action against vpn providers getting similarly blocked if they don't enforce the embargo.

I might be cynical, but you know it will happen.

You can already bring outside food on airlines.

And your whataboutism is grade-AA stupid.

1. Biden wasn't on any general election ballot, so his terrible debate performance is immaterial to this discussion. There was another candidate to vote for who almost certainly isn't senile, but a sufficient number of voters chose to go with senility instead.
2. Biden being senile does not preclude Trump from also being senile. Much the way that trying to whatabout Bill Clinton in the whole Epstein shit show doesn't preclude Trump from being a disgusting child rapist as well.

Care to try again without the absolute stupidity?

He seems to be pretty knowledgeable about escaping legal peril - even with 34 felony convictions and a shitload of federal felony indictments he hasn't spent a single night in prison.

So what does this bring that makes it worth the price premium? You've already agreed it isn't performance, and it's definitely not price. There isn't anything particularly compelling about the software. The camera is mediocre at best. That leaves us with the plastic case it goes in.

Is wacky plastic enough to keep the company alive?

Australia's first domestically built rocket to attempt orbital launch crashed just 14 seconds after liftoff.

"Success!"
