There’s a lot of unhappy gamers downvoting us.

Some of the comments on this story sound really addicted to PC gaming.

Not feeling great about the opening saying keys are necessarily locked to a single device. If that was true, they wouldn’t be in active use.

With a Japanese Apple ID and probally GPS spoofing too, sure.

This isn’t new. I noticed this back in ~2001.

People are just catching up to me.

Do YouTube next. Do websites next.

Phones are being pushed to have full 3D game experiences. For example: running new resident evil games or Death Stranding. These things need that memory. It’s unified memory, so it’s RAM and VRAM all in one.

It also enables multitasking. And if you are on Android, you are running Chrome, right? Notorious RAM eater.

Encryption back doors are not based.

Based.

Seems like an awkward conflict. If the generated material can’t be copyrighted and the characters are “licensed.”

Can I copyright my ai output if I put my own copy-written character or IP in the corner? Does a logo count? What about a dancing logo character?

Yeah, that resonates with me.

I didn’t have any political reasons. I just grew to dislike the writing style. I became disenchanted by the style of the videos.

I’m still up for watching new Contrapoints videos.

Philosophy Tube

He’s just part of a huge machine now. And he looks tired as hell sometimes.

Oh, I always sensed something was off there. Oof.

I feel like iFixit has always talked out of both sides of their mouth. It’s one of those situations where it becomes clearer over longer and longer timescales.

They are a business, not a non-profit organization.

Native apps are so much better, on every platform.

The JavaScript must flow….

There was a time in my experience of twitter where the only anime profile pictures I ran across were people arguing about gamergate.

Just make sure you don’t use the butt soap.

To summarize: the device is riddled with security flaws, originally shipped with default passwords, communicates with servers in China, comes preinstalled with hacking tools, and even includes a built-in microphone - fully equipped for recording audio - without clear mention of it in the documentation. Could it get any worse?

I am pretty sure these issues stem from extreme negligence and rushed development rather than malicious intent. However, that doesn’t make them any less concerning.

Slop everywhere. As far as the eye can see.
