They do like money, but Valve also loves providing a service to people.

Nobody uses Epic Games, Origin, Ubisoft Connect, or Battle.net because they want to, they use it because they have to.

Steam Awards is a bit janky sure, but to say that their inability to run pointless awards properly ruins the convenience and value that Steam brings to its users would be a gross overstatement.

I hope this isn't a "Net Neutrality, oh and we'll also spy on you for the good of humanity" bill

The fact that this guy is going to jail by January but Trump isn't even close, means something is very wrong with our justice system.

Hey guys!

It's almost time again for the latest and greatest iterations of Pixel devices, where Google will show off their newest hardware and software upgrades to the masses.

The event will debut on October 4th at 10 AM EST (https://dateful.com/convert/est-edt-eastern-time?t=10am&d=2023-10-04), showcasing what's to be the Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro, and likely the Pixel Watch 2.

Rumors indicate signs pointing to a new Tensor chip in the Pixel devices, temperature sensors, Magic Audio removal features for video clips, and even a Qualcomm-based chip in the Pixel Watch 2.

Feel free to watch the event and sign up to be notified when it's live, at the following YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxlaUCJZ27E

See you all soon!

Google says it can’t fix Pixel Watches, please just buy a new one | With no official repair program and no parts, broken Pixel Watches are just e-waste.::With no official repair program and no parts, broken Pixel Watches are just e-waste.

Looks like Google falls further behind as they fail to properly design and update newer iterations of Pixel phones. Rather than have a superior TSMC chip within the next 13 months, which would have a higher quality manufacturing process and significantly reduce power consumption, it looks like it'll be closer to 25 months if we're lucky.

Samsung phones have DeX widely available across their flagship devices, allowing users to plug their phones into a screen, connect a mouse and keyboard, and work as if it was a laptop or desktop PC.

Do you find features like this fitting into your workflow? How would you feel about a Google equivalent?

The Pixel 2, which is 5 (almost 6!) years old, had better transfer speeds than this brand new $799 phone.

It's not even close, it's the Pixel 2 with 1.5Gbps vs the iPhone with ~0.5Gbps.

Apple's software is good but they are an absolute trash company that routinely screws their blind customers.

The Pixel 8 Pro includes generative AI features which allow it to do things like "SGE" and "Help me write" for apps such as Gmail.

The Pixel Watch 2 looks identical, with slightly different external features such as a modified crown, and potentially a slimmer build.

I'd bet there's a CSAM test image dataset with innocuous images that get picked up by the script. Not sure how the system works, but if it's through hashes then it would be pretty simple to add that to the script.

Let's make this simple.

Elon for example is worth 180 billion. His private jet, which costs $17k/yr to refill, is worth $62 million, or 0.03% of his net worth.

The average person, maybe lower middle class to middle class, is let's say worth about $250,000. If they bought or leased a car worth $45k, that would be 18% of their net worth.

It is probably the equivalent, or LESS than the equivalent of someone in the middle class, buying a candy bar. And they can do it over and over again with no repercussions.

And jet fuel is incredibly pollutant, and billionaires pollute millions of more times in general than the average person.

I'm fully in support of these protesters and hope they don't stop.

NewPipe, and YouTube Revanced are great apps you can use on mobile. They aren't attached to any Google account so you can just use them and skip adds all day without getting any account theoretically banned.

For those who continue to use YouTube and adblockers on PC, simply just make a new throwaway Google account. In the case that they aren't actually bluffing (they are) then at least your temp account will be banned.

Honestly, I see it as a win.

The people that did this didn't really act out in a coordinated attack. They were just kind of playing around, redirecting to lemonparty, changing page elements.

It could have been a lot worse. The site could have been redirecting to malicious websites, downloading trojans, doing a lot of bad things. Instead, we got direct attention to the security vulnerabilities in question, and they're being worked on and patched out relatively quickly. Helps that a lot of those on these communities are focused in programming and cybersecurity.
