A bit of a party foul on my end as I already knew none exist. Although there is at least an open streaming box OS in the works, but you’d have to bring your own hardware.

It would at least be harder, and have real constitutional ramifications.

Which open source TV stick do you recommend?

This type of thing was definitely happening 10 years ago and people were actually less worried about it than they are today

You’re half right, in that ultimately they can compel you to hand over your data, but there is a higher bar to clear for them to get your personal data stored locally.

For one, they can’t compel you to turn over your data with a subpoena, they’d have to actually go in front of a judge and get a warrant.

How could the existence of a god be the basis for an argument for Atheism? Atheism conceptually requires that no god exists.

That being said the headline is dumb because from what I can gather the premise of the movie is that god is real but it’s not the one that anyone in the modern world is worshipping, so it would be equal in nightmare across theists and atheists alike

The U.S. as well

Discovery is a very flat, one-dimensional misread of Star Trek as a concept that plays fast and loose with established lore, created by a guy who harbors an active disdain for what Star Trek is fundamentally about. Discovery was an attempt to dumb down Star Trek for the average viewer by adding a bunch of action and talking down to its audience about very overt modern political issues that frankly don’t fit in the Star Trek universe.

Star Trek prior to the Kurtzman era was an examination of modern day social issues through a forward-looking optimistic lens. It imagined a world where humanity actually evolved as a species beyond our petty squabbles, and then offers you an opinion on how that could be realistically achieved by showing you how these humans interact with the universe beyond our solar system. Kurtzman’s Trek retcons all that and dragged humanity back down into the gutter that is our current modern world because he either doesn’t trust in your ability to read between the lines, or he has no optimism for humanity at all and offers the opinion that we can never and willer never evolve beyond the problems we’re having in the 21st century.

The best concrete example I have for you is with another’s Kurtzman Show, Star Trek Picard. It’s well established that in the time period Picard is in, humanity exists in a post-scarcity society. Humans do things like join Starfleet for the personal fulfillment and betterment of humanity’s understanding of the cosmos, rather than a paycheck. But in the new show there’s a scene early on where a retired Picard visits a woman living in what amounts to a space trailer and she chastises him about his privilege, because she’s living in squalor while he was a retired Starfleet captain with his own vineyard. This is obviously a mirror to the wealth inequality of today, but it makes no sense in the context of a world where poverty has been effectively eradicated.

You were born to a world without the internet. It’s easy to get along without something in a world where it doesn’t exist or otherwise isn’t important. Existing without the internet today would be orders of magnitude more difficult.

I think skipping cutscenes solves the problem of not liking cutscenes, yes.

I do like Kojima’s cutscenes so I don’t skip them. They’re a part of the experience.

If you don’t like the long cinematics just skip them. Problem solved.

You need to talk to a therapist about this as I’m sure whatever this problem is goes much deeper than what you’re doing with your money.

Practical mental health advice? Stop day trading. Invest in long term low-risk investments and keep them there and stop looking at them every day. Free yourself

All of them contain the entire game. The only functional difference over the early days is that the game data isn’t read from disc while you play.

Skill issue

It sure is. I think your problem is you don’t know much a gaming PC costs, or much at all about hardware, so your only frame of reference is the Steam Machine, which is a small form factor pre-built machine with notoriously poor value for the money.

Care to show me this ps5 pro beating pc for $1000?

Here you go.

This dynamically changes with price, so for posterity this listing is $1,062

Literally the only thing the PS5 Pro beats out in this build is that it has DDR5 instead of DDR4 RAM, but even that in no way makes up for its shortcomings in other areas. The PS5 Pro’s GPU is close but doesn’t quite match the performance of the 9060 xt, and the PS5 Pro’s CPU is absolutely gimped next to the 5600x due its remarkably small cache and power limitations.

That a super low spec PC is twice the price of a PS5.

A PC that will outperform the PS5 Pro by a decent margin could be had for about $1000 today. An entry level gaming PC could be had for $700 or so.

The premium you pay for a PC over a PS5 is only 10-15% and that’s only because Sony sells them at a loss to recoup later in PSN subscriptions and online store purchases (This is why they’re killing physical media).

You’re saving 10-15% up front at the cost of being trapped on their platform forever and you’ll pay more over the life of it in PSN subscriptions unless you play single player only games.

That’s not true at all, but yes consoles will be a bit more expensive than comparable Consoles.
