    "It just works" is the byline of Apple products

    That hasn't been true since about the iPhone 4 days.

    It's never been true.

    Something like that anyway.

  6. Just what depressives need, a disconnected app experience. People need to get used to the idea an app isn't the be all and end all of solutions to problems. Seems like a cover to slurp up data if you ask me, not that anyone did.

    It's not just Magic Leap. It's VR and AR completely. Where does it fit in the broader world? What real problem does it solve?

    My work is trying to shoehorn AR in somehow and so far the best we've managed to use it for is glorified QR codes.

    Because Uranus is too gassy XD

  13. you would think that with all the video and images they show of europa, this wouldn't be a "might" or "scientists think". is everything nasa shows bullshit?

    Basically all the video and images you see of space, especially stuff like europa are artist impressions. Until they get there how do you think they can know the exact surface conditions. Galileo got within a couple hundred miles or something but that's still pretty far.

  15. Re:Why? on 'Why I Bid $700 For a Stolen PSN Account' (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    If the original owner preferred digital, the account would be full of games tied to it.

    So why not just spend the money on games?

  16. More just working, the extra care and attention apple put in really is worth the premium, right, right....right?

    Sure!

    Wake me when Android has zero bugs...

    Idiot Haters.

    Wake me when apple stuff 'just works' and doesn't have its cheapest model with a 1080 screen over a grand.

  17. And what makes you think that Apple DOESN'T know how to test?

    I can't believe you can ask that with a straight face. Ok maybe its not that they don't know how maybe it's just they don't bother properly.

  18. Oh, and BTW, testing all the HARDWARE variants doesn't come even CLOSE to testing ALL the possible variations of App Loads. And I submit, THAT is where nearly all of the "Surprise!" post-release issues come from.

    Isn't that why the app store is so tightly controlled though, and aren't those apps basically independent of each other and the OS?

  19. Re:It's gonna be vastly underpowered ... on Sony Says PlayStation 4 Successor is Coming, But Doesn't Call it PS5 Yet (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Just like all consoles.

    They are just PCs from five years ago (or worse), with DRM and a different input device.

    They should just have a PC certification program. "Any PC with a least X general-purpose shaders, Y memory bandwith, etc ... oryl, even simpler: ... that is accepted by our OS ... gets to call itself a certified PlayStation 2019!"

    Just make sure you do not have more than one generation every five years, and you got the exact same offering as a console.

    So instead of the closed box with set hardware developers can maximise for you want to just set a base level pc that at best is at least....? Soooo, what's the fucking point? Just get a pc.

    Look at all the games on the App Store and playstore..... you see something interesting and download it and you realise they just rehash the same format and rely on loot boxes and pay to win .... or grind to you die model.

    There's your problem, stay away from mobile games and free2play games. Maybe best to keep away from the latest generation in general.

    Apparently you aren't very good at reading. I'm not being a snob at all.

    Yes, yes you are. When you make out you are better than someone or they are somehow worthless because of some ill defined 'what they are' metric that you decide. Even using a term like eurosnob invalidates the entire point you are trying to make and if you can't see that then you are a fucking idiot to boot.

    I have 4 kids. I guess Darwin will take care of people with your 1 or 0 kids attitude within a couple of generations.

    Isn't this pretty much the opening to idiocracy? Lots of children, no intelligence.

  25. so overpopulation can never be charged with responsibility for climate change.

    Has any one ever tried to?
