Two years on, Stadia seems to have no direction left

Quoting: Ehvis
Quoting: scaineYeah. On one hand, monopolies are definitely bad. On the other hand, I went from a £6.99 Netflix sub to:

Netflix family: £9.99
NowTV + Sports package: around £25 in total, per month
Disney: £7.99
Prime: £7.99
My solution to that problem: rotation. View stuff on one. Cancel, subscribe to the next and view there, cancel and so on until I'm back at number 1. Won't work for your sports stuff, but hey, if you want that, you're bound to get cheated. :tongue:

Also, glass fibre internet now and cable tv: cancelled.
It's a good idea, but that requires effort.

I came to realize we can't enjoy or have everything, so decided to get one service/subscription and enjoy it as much as possible. By the time there isn't anything I want to watch there, maybe your suggestion can come to play.

How did I miss this? The game captivated me, and scared me, when I first played it. Definitely would recommend to anyone interested in point & click games.

Another project that Google will abandon.

Valve delays Steam Deck, now starts shipping February 2022

Quoting: LiamMcBrideIt wouldn't surprise me if the chip shortage is to blame for it being delayed, I'm guessing it's going to be about as difficult to find as graphics cards are right now because of that
It is the sole purpose of it. They mention it on the email sent to people that pre-ordered it. The shortage is affecting other big companies too, e.g; Nintendo recently reduced their expectations to create/sale hardware on 2022 by 20%.

The irony in this story, is that the IT industry spends trillions of $/£/€ in resiliency, high availability, failover… you name it. Yet we rely on TSMC, as a single point of failure, for over 50% of chip manufacture.

Don't worry, it is not March, nor 2023, but 02/2022 so Valve will definitely release the Steam Deck :D

System76 patches APT for Pop!_OS to prevent users breaking their systems

Based on recent blog posts, accusations, etc, I wonder if Pop_OS will eventually try to get this patch merged upstream.

Quoting: kalinI tried popos and it was the same garbage as ubuntu. After some update the system got broken. From my experience manjaro is far better choice then anything Debian based. Turd is a turd no matter how much chocolate topping you put on
Ubuntu/Pop_OS != Debian and Ubuntu/Pop_OS < Debian

But I get your point.

Wonder if they planned the act on Truck Simulator.
