You can sound the real warnings when Panasonic and Sony stop making them.

But the writing is already on the wall. You used to be able to go into any supermarket and have a whole aisle for DVDs and Blu-rays, and now it’s like a single rack of things that came out recently. People have spoken with their wallets, and these things will go the same way as CDs before them.

Now we just need to get back to a streaming service that doesn’t suck.

If a platform gets traction and is good at removing them, then links will be more obfuscated to deal with it.

Be good practice for when the rest of the world cuts them off for real.

Our export industry is already dead…

That and DVDs were like £3 most of the time. I’d always be picking up stuff just for the hell of it. Got shelves full of them.

Blu-rays and especially 4K Blu-rays were pretty much always full price of £20. That’s at least a whole month of any streaming service and sometimes two. Plus I can barely tell any difference between streaming and disc, especially on the picture quality. The audio is more noticeable, but not worth £20 a movie.

The current streaming services will slowly decline as well until they realise they need to switch to a music industry model where nearly everything is on every service. I installed Jellyfin ages ago, and the experience of just having one service to look through is so much better than dipping into half a dozen apps to see if any of them have what you want to watch.

I know what I’m after as an experience, it’s up to them if they want to provide it at a reasonable price.

Lots of people played Among Us and haven’t killed a CEO.

Yet.

And who is going to pay for that? If they could afford to refund all their customers they wouldn’t be going bust.

You wouldn’t need infinite time if you had infinite monkeys.

An infinite number of them would produce it on the very first try!

I like the idea that they’ve got billions of dollars, but will have to live in a windowless bunker eating beans.

I thought that was their biggest way of gathering evidence

A lot of it will have been because half the game optimisation code was often inside the drivers.

So Intel devs may not know what they were doing, but game devs are often worse.

How is compatibility with older games now?

Because I’m not buying a GPU unless it works with everything.

Especially one just a small naval visit from China.

Hey man, they just renamed their newest chips to have a completely different confusing naming scheme! What more innovation do you want?

Well it’s cheaper, so I’m not sure it’s going for “better”.

You speak for yourself. As an Englishman I get 5% water resistance and +2 charisma when dealing with non-Europeans.

If he wanted to save a right wing shitbird’s stuff so badly, why didn’t he buy it?

A letting agent maybe?

In any case it’s their job to be racist, not an AI.

The annoying thing is they’re not even that much thinner. They’ve just reshaped the edge to make it look like there isn’t room for real ports.

Skynet’s real origin story. We might just deserve judgement day.
