The main difference is the most important thing for gaming. Less than half the CU's of the X (just below 6600 and 6800 desktop GPUs respectively).

Plus there's the ram 8gb vram on the S vs 10 on the X is not that much of a deal but having the remainder for CPU usage being 2GBs is shocking.

Especially since it appears system software on the X occupies around 2,5 GB. Obviously they must have restricted that for the S but still the RAM available is ridiculously low.

Finally third party developers are not required to figure out how to run their games on Xbox unlike Microsoft. For all it's technical marvel FS2020/4 is not a killer app, especially on consoles.

I just read your list and it confirms mine.

Small buffer AND can't skip ahead on a boring video because you can only get served the ads to unlock further video after time equal to the served video duration has passed.

That is not YouTube, it's online TV and there will be an impact on the product. Preloading a video via a 3rd party client will still easily beat this scheme. Just get a headstart equal to the first ad break.

Sure if you fundamentally change what YouTube you can make it work.

You need very small buffers or complete disablement of seeking even outside of ads. Otherwise a client can reconstruct the video without viewer interruption.

People however expect to be able to skip ahead in YouTube videos, otherwise its just TV.

The US will veto any action.

It's them you should be criticizing. It's always them or Russia/China for the other team.

That's a lie.

The original Sony feature did not give access to all the hardware and thus it was not possible to play ps3 games on it.

Their ban actually motivated people to crack Sony's measures and install Linux with full access to the hardware.

Hezbollah is not a terrorist organization according to the Lebanese and Iranian governments or the UN.

The have 15 representatives in Lebanon's parliament.

What makes the US have more free speech?

Legally all EU countries have freedom of expression enshrined in their constitutions.

Culturally I find Americans blind to any non governmental censorship. Since it's legal its OK.I believe not allowing private companies to censor people is absurdly considered a violation of free speech.

There are obvious results as well: the US is way less politically diverse.
