Yes Stalin famously implemented an electoral college.

The only reasonable explanation for an American to support the EC is claim it's democratic is him being a Stalinist or a Russian sock puppet.

Couldn't be an American internalizing USA's own jingoistic propaganda about how it is the most democratic and free state etc.

Always somebody else's fault.

The bot posts in world news which allows non us news.

It not trying to criticize the right wing bias of political discourse it's trying to normalize it and apply it to non US issues and media.

Its an incredibly pro US biased instance despite not being hosted in the US and having a .world domain.

Greatest hits are [email protected] forbidding non-US topics and of course [email protected] and its bias check bot according to which every non US media is left wing biased.

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.
