Honest lmao

Cringe

… My comment wasn’t disagreeing with you? Sorry it was probably worded goofy lmao

Why does that even matter? Currently, if you have a locked phone and switch carriers, you have to buy an entirely new phone anyways.

At least this way, a user can pay once, and then hop around carriers depending on what’s cheap.

Also there’s no shot that locking users to phones costs that much because the unlocked version of a phone is only like 15-20% more expensive. Since when did you ever get a 70% discount on the MSRP of a phone for buying it locked??? They’re straight ass lying lmao

I get not wanting to have to have 40 different accounts to play your games, and making that your entire basis for not buying a game - sure whatever. But that’s your decision, and other people are allowed to be upset that they have to do so, and still want to play the game and just deal with the bullshit foisted on them by corporations.

That’s the point they’re making. It’s absurd

When people stop caring for the plight of others, we all lose.

I’m honestly shocked that someone hasn’t gone the black market APK route of analyzing the protocols heuristically and then releasing an APK with those protocols on torrent/deep web. Obviously, that’s insanely more risky and error prone, but you would find out pretty quick if freestyle modified their protocols, and could patch it within a week or two (maybe). I really wish I was more low-level hardware skilled to know better, or even lend a hand.

I just make shitty SaaS software for a living, what do I know lol

Jesus Christ that sucks nuts… Hopefully in the future the situation improves. Iirc this technology is still early and companies are incompetent

Wtf is wrong with you

My best guess is that they instead aggregate your data and serve ads based off of basic demographically information - instead of data they’ve harvested from your Google account. E.g. they’ll use your age range, gender, region, etc

I feel like it’s more ethnocentric than racist, which is a bit less bad. Some developers have had negative experiences with offshore talent. I’ve personally had mixed experiences, and some of that comes down to communication issues and experience issues. Sometimes you get an offshore developer who is really skilled, but generally the very skilled developers get their work visa and come to the US.

You also get absolutely garbage developers in the states, but of course nobody ever mentions that. Lol

Are you stupid

I think the Corsair 4000D does iirc (my case).

Glad to see lemmy users are just as snide as reddit users jeez

The reason that your favorite games are your favorite is because they aren’t soulless cash grabs. They’re made by people with imagination, passion, and ingenuity. AI simply can’t create something brand new from existing parts, it can only give it a fresh coat of paint.

Furthermore, AI will always work like this, because that’s how the models are trained. I don’t think we’ll have a model that learns to create on its own within any of our lifetimes, if ever.
