Growing and harvesting and delivering and picking up food use a shitload of fuel, we just subsidize it so you don’t realize how much it is. Using an image generator uses almost no energy (training it did, but that’s already done). The comparison isn’t even close.

Of course it’s another pretty young woman. These people are just human traffickers, not law enforcement.

Kidnapping usually implies a followup with a demand for ransom.

They said all those exact corporate blowhard promises when the introduced the gamebar and the Xbox windows store and a “gaming mode” lol.

I don’t understand where the confrontation came from, but I guess if that’s what you want you can have it. I literally told you two posts ago about how it’s not just waiting for 20s and clicking a button. It’s an attended upgrade and scrolling process. I won’t bother quoting what I wrote 3 minutes ago, go scroll up and read it again yourself. No, my microwave does not present me with EULAs when the power goes out.

What “score” are you talking about? Do you take personal offense when a Sony product sucks? Did you invent the PlayStation or something? I was just sharing my lived experience.

They’re a danger to the public that needs to be banned, how is it not political?

No machine stays on without power, I’m not quite sure how you interpreted my statement that way. I’m saying all my other appliances recover gracefully from power loss and do whatever auto-updates they need to do in the background so when I go to use them they just work.

Yea I have one for my PC. Sony argues in court that a PlayStation is not a PC, but an appliance. I’m pointing out how untrue that is.

For the updates: I put it to sleep. However my power cuts out every now and then. When the power comes back, the ps4 turns itself back on on and makes obnoxious beeping noises, just to tell me the power was cut. The dumb thing is it will stay on that screen until manually dismissed and won’t auto-update until you dismiss that screen, with no timeout. The hassle-free appliance experience!

For your claim that the eulas being easy to skip, keep in mind that sometimes there were back-to-back updates that each required me to agree to a eula. So I would babysit the thing, walk away when it was taking forever, and when I came back it wouldn’t even be ready for gaming. Even windows isn’t that obnoxious.

Also my tv at the time had no way to disable CEC (my new one does, and also doesn’t crash lol).

There aren’t any official sources to the claim, however, they have tried to argue it in court before. They clearly just do whatever they want and then lie in court later because they know there are zero consequences and no rule of law in the USA.

Yea, hdr is very standardized.

Lmao, pussy-ass fascist lovers.

Science and reality disagree with your feelings. Do not parrot the disingenuous spam from the oligarchs.

Lmao they’re removing Thomas Jefferson quotes? Fuck the Nazi-loving mods here. History judges your poor choices.

Edit: so you mind quoting the reason they gave for removing a Jefferson quote?

The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi.

We need to move on from .world. Don’t upvote any posts here.

If you have a dumb TV you can use a USB to CEC adapter that talks to the tv. If you have a smart TV it is probably supported by Home Assistant so you can rig your computer to wake the TV.

Edit: both of these solutions are arguably no-code-required but I agree they’re a bit technically involved.

Maybe it’s because I don’t use it enough but the last Sony console I bought was the absolute opposite of “no fuss”. It was nothing but mandatory unskippable updates and I constantly got signed out and had to sign in and the 2fa app kept changing names. And also all those updates and sign-ins had mandatory EULAS you had to scroll through. Such a hassle.

Edit: also it tried to talk to my Sony tv in some “smart” way over HDMI (so I couldn’t disable it) which would sometimes cause my TV to crash and reboot for several minutes.

This is your rose tinted hindsight fantasy.

In the same way that talking to a presidential translator is faster for a diplomat than talking to Trump. The translation layer can communicate more concisely and effectively.
