But why do they care? You're paying the transaction fees. They're getting their money. If anything isn't it good for the payment processor to get more transactions? It's a real transaction. Nobody was deceived, the money

Product pages on Amazon now have AI review summaries. I like it in theory, but the cynical part of me is suspicious they're somehow using it to skew things positive.

Yep. They obviously learned nothing from killing Xbox overnight. As an IT person I can guarantee this rebranding is going to cause confusion that will waste my time. That being said, Coke killed Coke Zero and seems to be doing okay I guess

I feel like there has to be some weird cultural problem at Microsoft where nobody wants to speak up about obviously bad ideas. They destroyed the entire Xbox brand overnight and hampered any chance at recovery with a stupid confusing naming

Yep. I've been an Xbox player since 2002. Huge Halo fan. Thousands of hours on 3 different generations of Xbox. I still have my Halo 3 special edition helmet. I keep up with gaming news and listen to multiple gaming podcasts every week

I work in IT support helping customers with this type of thing and this specific problem you just described still trips me up regularly. And it's been like that at at least 3 or 4 companies I've worked at so it's not just thi

"Digital" has become this weird overloaded term with a second meaning that means "no physical media". You see it mostly in videogames, "bought digitally" means buying it from Steam or another online store as a

Exactly. I feel like this author doesn't realise how long ago 32 bit was replaced. Only specifically retro gamers are still playing on PCs that old, and they're probably not online. I'm surprised the launcher still supported

A bit clickbait. EA is still running a store and you won't lose your games, it's just a new app and not called Origin. Also the bit about 32 bit PC users having to buy a new one is a bit overblown. Who's still using a more th

That's so cool!! I'm kind of sad I mostly missed that era of computing. Always thought the ZX Spectrum was a cool system. It's neat that writing your own software was accessible and practical all the way back then. I'll

Yeah. Looking at stats without context of their audience is what caused the Xbox One disaster. They saw a huge number of hours on Xbox 360 being used for watching streaming shows, so they thought that was all anybody cared about, ignoring t

I warned people not to buy games on Stadia. I specifically told them this was going to happen. Nobody should trust Google for anything long term at this point, ever.

"The FF 91's 142.0-kWh battery pack is rated for an EPA-estimated 381 miles of range " That's... pretty terrible. That's only 609km. The 438km-rated Model 3 battery pack is 66kwh. I could understand this vehicle bei

This site has been more useful to me as the only site I know of that doesn't have https, for testing things, rather than as an example domain.

The only hope for change is for the EU to force Apple to implement RCS. It should frankly be a requirement to get your phone certified onto any mobile network.
