100 ms input latency? Are you SURE about that number? I seem to recall old consoles like the NES and SNES had something like 16 ms latency, how did things get worse by almost an order of magnitude?
Not if they accurately summarize the legalese. The legalese is still there for you to get the details on payments and rates and so on, and the translation is "You have to pay us every month. If you stop paying we take back OUR stuff."
What I would like to see is a "In layman's words" translation after each section; one whose wording is NOT enforced in court, but gives the average reader an idea of whether they're allowed to do something or not.
Here there's a pickup once a week, but it's normal trash every other week and paper or plastic on the weeks between that, resulting in a month's wait for each of them.
So eg., Monday 1st: Trash Monday 8th: Paper Monday 15th: Trash Monday 22nd: Plastic Monday 29th: Trash and so on.
Honestly that's what I do. I follow a very simple two-step flow chart:
1) If you touch it tomorrow, will you not care or will you find it gross? If gross, put it in the main trash. If you won't care, see 2). 2) If you light it on fire, what will happen? If it burns, put it in paper. If it melts, put it in plastic.
Done. The rest is up to the guys handling it later.
This last Christmas we were suddenly told to NOT put the paper that had been wrapped around all the presents in the PAPER recycling bin because it contains plastic.
How do they expect people to keep up with these kinds of lists?
Did they try to take players who were used to playing at 30 FPS and gave them a 120 FPS rig, did they try to take players used to playing at 120 FPS and gave them a 30 FPS rig, or did they just compare current FPS levels with K:D levels?
To be fair to myself I was running low on coffee and was just commenting off the replies, having forgotten exactly where this was going on. It just sounded like something you'd hear out of America.
Now, I am not entirely well versed in US law and am certainly not a lawyer, but I seem to recall some law stating that any commercial offer extended to the state or government (and I'm assuming police falls under the state for this) must be the best possible available price-wise.
This... doesn't seem to match that. That's all.
And as I said further up the thread, it sounds a lot like these paid updates only exist to get around calling it a subscription service, which in itself is borderline fraud.
I'm thinking it's been something like $7.95 per month per radio, but rounded off to a yearly 'update' payment. Still ridiculous, of course. They should be opening an investigation into Motorola to see just how much money they're getting across your country.
I haven't played RDR2, but the description KINDA sounds like flight masters in WoW although that's between hard set travel points. An evolution of an idea, perhaps?
Slashdot Mirror
Content patch a few months down the line? Full expansion like in MMOs? Of course those are big.
A NINETY GIGABYTE PATCH BEFORE RELEASE is not a patch, that's a complete do-over of every last file that makes up the game.
I think the main idea is that you can stream the game while sitting in a bus, at a train station, etc. - away from your low latence WiFi network.

What kind of data caps will we be seeing on 5G networks? How quickly will it be (would it have been) better to download and install than stream?

It's called the advertising budget. The moment they paid out that money they got coverage in the news all over the world.
Just so you know, Slashdot has that exact same boilerplate in their terms and conditions.

I've always liked this simple version of what you just said: "Your freedom to swing your fist ends at the tip of my nose."
You realize most of those 'hotlists' will be alphabetically sorted, and 12345 will STILL show up before 123456, right?
And they all keep advertising that tired old slogan, "All in the same place."
You wanna know where you can get it ALL in the same place? Yeah. Very competitive pricing scheme, too.

Yeah, it sounds like these paid and required updates are a way of going around a ban on subscription services.
So now science should only publish when the theories are perfect?
I'm betting they reversed the bad pin, so instead of 0000 it's now 0000. Attackers would never guess THAT!

It's the rule of the 10,000 new people every day. For a decent number of people, any given Match 3 game WILL be their first Match 3 game.
Unskippable, though. To hell with that.
Second hottest February on record (hottest was 1990) in Denmark.
This is why the plural of anecdote is not data.
