Chinese phones are generally pretty good and cost a lot less so it’s not surprising at all.

The Virustotal results are concerning though.

Microsoft products in this area are weird to me. Like C#, Powershell is great on one hand yet annoying and more difficult to rangle on the other compared to other solutions that are out there.

I wish my mom actually followed though on sending my brussels sprouts to the starving kids via mail when I was a kid because it would have been hilarious.

What we’re currently calling AI isn’t AI but just a language processing system that takes its best guess at a response from it’s database of information they pilfered from the internet like a more sophisticated Google.

It can’t really think for itself and it’s answers can be completely wrong. There’s nothing intelligent about it.

Yeah because fuck hustle culture.

We had mods. They’re a bit like skins and new content, only free and far more creative. They are what you call microtransactions today but you didn’t have to sell your right arm to get them because anyone could make them.

The pixelation definitely helps sell the illusion.

Why not just fuck him in front of all the plushies and tell him he’s a naughty exhibitionist then leave?

Performance aside it just wasn’t ready for release anyway. There are major bugs in its simulation in the economy where stuff like your cargo ports don’t function and commercial isn’t actually using your production products and are just faking it. The performance issues are made worse by them not implementing proper LOD when you zoom out so that everything still has way too much detail in it’s models that you don’t need.

I love the game but it needed like 6 months more development and testing before it should have even seen the light of day as an early access game at least.

He also got me to stop using Reddit after hanging out with their CEO too. What a great guy 👍

It’s truly amazing what can happen when they don’t cut quite so many corners and release the minimal viable product.

I’m just happy we have all of these choices.

The FOSS apps are fantastic already and Sync is there if you want that too.

Paid software absolutely has a place in the world. Evil companies producing evil software designed to build a monopoly and lock out FOSS apps do not. I don’t think Sync falls into the latter and I’m happy they’ve made the choice to be able to eat.
