fair enough.
i just dislike rich assholes who make shitty videos. i agree some specifics would be nice. but damn, i dont remember the exact details of a few videos i watched 2 or 3 years ago. going back to fact check them isnt worth my time. sorry.
tbf, i havent watched a video of him for years including this one. i just dont trust him at all.
maybe this video is pretty alright. idk. i’m not knowledgable enough on this particular topic either way. but he has touched on topics in the past where i’m knowledgable enough and it was really bad. just utter nonsense. not like with mkbhd where i just disagree with his opinions. its just sloppy garbage.
fuck that guy.
the factchecking is horrible on that channel. there are so many videos with so many mistakes, misleading conclusions, important left out things, etc.
Fuck him.
Most of the responses of the ministers(?) covered in the article seem to be pretty solid.
But then:
Responding to the arguments, the government’s representative, minister for sport, tourism, civil society and youth, Stephanie Peacock MP, acknowledged consumer sentiment behind Stop Killing Games, but suggested there were no plans to amend UK law around the issue.
“The Government recognises the strength of feeling behind the campaign that led to the debate,” she said. “The petition attracted nearly 190,000 signatures. Similar campaigns, including a European Citizens’ Initiative, reached over a million signatures. There has been significant interest across the world.”
She continued: “At the same time, the Government also recognises the concerns from the video gaming industry about some of the campaign’s asks. Online video games are often dynamic, interactive services—not static products—and maintaining online services requires substantial investment over years or even decades.”
Peacock claimed that because modern video games were complex to develop and maintain, implementing plans for games after support had ended could be “extremely challenging” for companies and risk creating “harmful unintended consequences” for players.
Handing online servers over to consumers could carry commercial or legal risks, she said, in addition to safety concerns due to the removal of official company moderation.
On the subject of ownership, Peacock claimed that video games being licensed to consumers, rather than sold, was not a new phenomenon, and that “in the 1980s, tearing the wrapping on a box to a games cartridge was the way that gamers agreed to licensing terms.”
“Licensing video games is not, as some have suggested, a new and unfair business practice,” she claimed.
Yeah, full on corpo spin. Fuck her.
You pay more for less so the numbers go up.
Its just not your numbers.
Ditch your friends and play incremental games instead, i guess.
Why did i never came across this masterpiece?
Ooooh, because its the gayest movie i’ve ever saw. Its gay af.
But yeah, it holds up. Had a blast watching it after the trailer. It has the german je ne sais quoi i normally miss in german productions. Just the way people talk is already fucking refreshing. Its still scripted but not that stilted ‘TV-language’ nobody talks like in RL which surely is a phenomenon you know of from your mothertongue.
Apart from that its a greatly crafted intentional B-Movie with great sets, camera work, lighting, acting, premise, characters and script. IDK how the comedy hits for non-germans since its very german coded. But in a good way. Just tons of tiny tidbits of relatable punches at our culture unlike seen almost all of the time on our linear tv screen.
Oh yeah, motherfucking H.R. Giger was creative consultant on this movie. Like whaaaaat?! Also seeing fucking Iris Berben in this movie and ham her acting up to a perfect level was insane. Like i dont give a shit about the german movie landscape but Iris Berben is a name even I recognize.
Anyway. 9/10 Movie. Thanks @CubitOom@infosec.pub
edit: lmao, that james bond coded outro song about killer condoms while the credits role is also fucking great.
Why did i never came across this masterpiece? This might be very best trailer for a german movie i have ever seen. I hope the movie itself lives up to the trailer. Must be atleast a decade i was excited to see a german movie.
Thanks. Gonna check it out.
You can give Intel shit for a lot of stuff but they had a damn good run from 2nd gen I-Series till 14th gen for generational naming. Model naming especially when it comes to the details… Yeah but that seems to be the industry standard and their main competitor AMD is so much worse when it comes to naming consistency.
Obviously these are honeypots.

Aw man, i saw 32gb DDR4 for 50€ a few months ago. Now its at 90€.
Good thing is that i just dont need more ram right now.
Might be a otherwise well made video. But that intro instantly tingled my spidey senses?
Two spy satelites built in the 90s which gathered dust for 20 years and got handed down to NASA were more advanced then the hubble space telescope?
Yeah, but funding and work started on hubble in 70s and it launched in 1990. With that in mind its a lot less ‘amazing’. Also i dont know what more advanced means in this case? Whats the qualifiers or the metrics? Like a space telescope which gathers light for days and weeks to get a picture is built to different specs than a spy satelite which has to take pictures in fractions of a second to get a clean picture.
Also the ‘interesting feature’ of having a short focal length isnt that interesting? They’re spy satelites, what else are they supposed to focus on? The secret nazi base on the dark side of the moon?
Either he is just sloppy with his analogy for what is to come in the video or he deliberatly insults my intelligence to paint a picture which eases me in for his following takes. In both cases it doesnt give me any confidence to invest 2 hours of my life.
meh
that tonedeaf response of the mozilla staff boils my blood. holy fuck. i hate mozilla so much for years already but in recent times it got so much worse. cant wait to switch to ladybird or other alternatives in the future.
