Nah I’m good.
Nah I’m good.
So dumb. How many hobbyists will pay that? A tiny fraction. Then in 4-5 years these guys will be sitting around wondering why their new business customer numbers fell off a cliff.
Don’t bite the hand that proselytizes for you at the office.
Well they lost me with their ridiculous price hike for PSN. I won’t be buying any more multiplayer games for my PS5.
The problem is they don’t give a flying fuck what we think of them because they don’t have to and never will.
I use Cloudflare as my registrar and public DNS. And only for that. Sorry but they don’t get to peek at my network traffic.
I want this. Gimme.
On-premises. Please, for the love of god.
This guy puts tech journalists to shame.
So many Microsoft bootlickers in this thread.
Sure there are plenty of good FPS games all the time. Me and my friends are in our early to late 40’s so it’s hard for us to get anything together for long periods of time since we all have Real Life™ going on. But every once in a while a game just hits, and DMZ had everyone in my clan hyped and we all played together regularly for a few months. It was truly awesome and just like the old days when we played Quake and Tribes together.
Then they started spitting out p2w shit and it just sucked the wind out of everyone’s sails.
Slimy things like introducing p2w skins in DMZ, ending the best fps run I’ve had with friends in years?
Fuckers.
They are making Cloud Microsoft sysadmins, as opposed to on-premises sysadmins. Which means the new crop of admins are just high tier application admins, and have no idea how to manage infrastructure, configure hardware, or actually troubleshoot problems with the application, since they don’t have access to it at that level. All of this makes businesses more and more reliant on the cloud, which is exactly what these providers want.
These companies are so short sighted. They are destroying the ability for the people who might push this software for use in a business environment to use it at home, test it out, learn it. This depletes the pool of experts and supporters that would expand their product’s use over time.
Microsoft and VMware are the worst offenders at the moment. I feel if you’re a competent on-premises Microsoft sysadmin you’ll have work for the rest of your life, because they aren’t MAKING on-premises Microsoft sysadmins anymore.
*edited my last sentence for clarity
They sell your data.
Dethrones? No. Not in the sense it will overtake Windows in numbers.
Grows its gamer ‘market share’? Absolutely.
Many of the changes and QoL improvements they are making will apply to the base game as well.
But you can bet your ass I’ll be buying that DLC on day 1 in whatever form it takes.
Every FFF reignites my hunger for the new version. So hyped.
If you cared about privacy you wouldn’t be using any Google products.
I’d rather go rant in a Gaza thread than post an opinion in here. People gettin’ ripped apart every which way!
And ruin my uptime stats? Are you mad?!?!
Among the many things I run are my own email servers so, yeah gotta be up all the time. And yes I have a UPS behind every electronic device in my house except the TV because if that dies I get to buy a new one.
I’ve probably spent upwards of $2000 on UPSes and replacement batteries over the last 20 years, but if it saved even one of my servers from taking a hit it was worth it. Servers are expensive and my time is valuable to me.
