Technology@lemmy.world•Gamers push back: 71% say they’re not ready to let physical games die as PlayStation and Xbox move toward a digital-only future”English
7·2 months agoPC hardware is not vendor controlled. They can’t delete your game because sales of the sequel are low or a license agreement ran out. Buying is owning on a pc where the game can be backed up, reinstalled on new machine etc. without any need for the agreement or permission of the publisher. You bought it. Can’t do any of that on console. Cant back up to your own systems, cant copy and if the console vendor decides to withdraw it from your library and delete from your device, you cant stop them (short of never connecting the device to the internet again) Historically console physical media has had a good second hand market, no such thing without physical media.
You’ll hand your money over, own nothing and have no recourse.

Technology@lemmy.world•ChatGPT's market share slips below 50% for first timeEnglish
6·3 months agoI wish headlines would start to qualify market share. They had over 50% of the active usera/subscribers/acticity or something like that. The addressable market on the other hand isna lot more people and they probably never got anywhere close to 50% of that.

18·3 months agoWhatsapp preinstalled… hard pass from me. All the other considerations like price, browser block, app emulation implementation; those are all things I could probably get past but preinstalled spyware is unacceptable from the get go.
Edit to add. The app blocking is interesting to me. Instead of thinking about the user being blocked from unstalling and using the app, I’m curious about the technology they will use to block the app (and app maker) from running activity on the device.
Hopefully the solution includes something like DNS blocking rather than a blacklist on the play integrity api and a reliance on Google killing the unstall of apk from other sources.
Not sure if DNS blocking explains the browser exclusion which is otherwise a bit odd.

1·3 months agoFair point on the self hosting potential, but lets me honest the apicy autocomplete they are calling ai is way too unreliable to be any kind of useful like jarvis was presented to be.
For some time now I think its been the case that frontier models perform worse (or at least more inconsistently) at procedural activity.
