That's gonna be a big-ass NAT.

It's almost like he's referencing it, but that would take being patient enough to read six lines in a row, and self awareness.

It's hardly Counterstrike.

Doesn't it already run on Gamepass xCloud whatever they call it?

I deliberately did not enable SecureBoot or whatever it is that prevents it from updating.

I keep seeing that but I don't buy it. There are corporation owned homes and there are empty homes, but I don't think they're the same homes.

I'm struggling to think of any logical way that you could make more money buying a property and leaving it empty on purpose while watching the value go up, than you would by doing the exact same thing while collecting a colossal monthly rent.

Most "empty" homes that don't have the roof caved in or boarded up windows in suburban slums are holiday homes and air BnB type things.

So have a mechanical circuit.

Like we used to have before a tiny chip became marginally cheaper to produce than a tiny metal and plastic switch.

The most important thing to get updates in the browser tbh. That's the source of nearly everything bad these days, and the main reason somebody would bother to update their PC.

I reckon they'll continue providing updates for those for as long as there's enough people using it. It's not like Google are going to willing turn round and go "whelp, no more adverts and spying for these millions of users!"

Thank fuck, it'll stop asking for reboots.

What bought me back to piracy was the twatting about between several apps, only to find that what I wanted wasn't on any of them.

If they want me back, they'll have be more convenient than piracy. And piracy is pretty damn convenient these days.

We're talking one service, all content that isn't still in cinemas, 4K HDR, 5.1 audio. Let's be reasonable, £30 a month with no ads at any time. Feel free to have ad tiers and lower quality if you're charging less or even showing for free. That's not my thing, I'll pay for the good shit tier. I don't need 8 screens at once or whatever nonsense Netflix know you won't use. It's just me, and my big television and sound system.

Music managed this. There's no reason video can't other than greed. I'm done asking nicely.

Yes, because if they don't then somebody else will and they won't have anywhere to live.

That's how shortages of essential commodities work. Build more homes where people want to live and ensure businesses don't buy them for renting.

At this point you might as well stream the game video, it would be less bandwidth.
