I can already burn through my entire wireless data limit in minutes. What is the point in it being faster without data being cheaper? At least from a users perspective and not someone who owns a telecommunications company.

Also the device is in a condition that makes this difficult like not turning on or the screen being broken.

It wouldn’t be so bad if it were only a 20x difference. It is more like a 5000x difference. 🥲

That’s a fine opinion, but I happen to disagree.

At least personally I can just leave. It’s interesting that so many people get so entrenched in a service that they can’t go without it.

Hopefully that battery usage gets better when they upgrade to what is currently Element X.

Somehow? Paying to remove ads is rewarding ads thus causing more ads in the world. It’s not mysterious at all.

There are plenty of ways to not make it an all or nothing service, but that is at least the most straight forward. You could potentially give some of it away and then have to pay for the rest. Or have some stuff for free and more premium content is paid for. Or perhaps based on bandwidth with video quality / resolution.

Anything that is not ads is going to be an improvement.

Paying to remove ads is part of the ad business model. Upset your customer enough until they give you money to make it stop. Once you pay to remove the ads you have rewarded them for implementing ads which lets them know that implementing ads was a great way at making money.

So YouTube premium is not another model. It is the same model. Another model is paying for a service that never had ads at all such as NebulaTV or CuriosityStream.

It is at least a different problem, but adding in the element that any failure is a fatal one it just isn’t enough that there are less obstacles in the way.

At least for normal non-tech oriented people it is a Twitter without Elon Musk. Which I suppose is an improvement despite it still being Jack Dorsey.

I think it will be important to see how it is potentially monetized. If they can find some way to stay alive without going down the enshitification rabbit hole with ads and prioritized posts with paid subscriptions like Twitter then that would also be an improvement in my opinion.

That is a peculiar problem I have not seen or heard f before. It doesn’t sound like it is completely freezing if it keeps letting you play the game. Just windows behind the game is freezing?

Do you play in fullscreen mode where it takes complete control over the graphics output of your monitor? I wonder if there is some driver bug that is not properly relinquishing control of the monitor to your OS when you minimize the game. If possible I’d try playing in either windowed fullscreen mode or just windowed mode next time as a test.

Also it is always worth updating your graphics drivers too.

Agreed. I already don’t trust car automation. No way I’m going to add a 3rd dimension to the list of possible failures.

How long until someone adds a lemmy watermark onto this?

It appears that there will be no ads and the only monetization is for advanced features. Assuming that actually is true that is a respectable way to monetize something.

It all returns to nothing.

I try to eat less the next time. I find that there is an optimal amount of food that prevents me from being hungry that doesn’t causes tiredness.

Where can I buy a new Vita?

So did Gmail, but it was a different time without any good competition.
