YSK that United has significantly escalated their war against basic economy passengers
  • No, because United employees didn't beat the passenger up, the police did. That's not even remotely close to the worst thing that cops have gotten away with.

    Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 sucks up to 180 Mb/s of internet bandwidth while in flight — equivalent to 81GB of data per hour
  • You are mixing up the different values.

    "Meanwhile, scattered reports of **MS Flight Sim 2020'**s bandwidth consumption point toward a more conservative ~100 Mb/s in densely populated photogrammetry areas, such as major cities. Usage in lighter areas could dip as low as 10 Mb/s, though the official Microsoft bandwidth recommendation for that game was 50 Mb/s."

    Flight Sim 2020 had a higher install size and lower bandwidth. Flight Sim 2024 has a lower install size and higher bandwidth requirement. Even if the sustained load isn't using the maximum bandwidth, it still means that 2024 will use a significant amount of bandwidth such that it may affect customers with data caps.

    DOJ indicates it’s considering Google breakup following monopoly ruling
  • I don't see Amazon as a monopoly, but as far as Apple goes, they currently hold the majority of phone sales in the US. A big reason for that is that they have a history of artificially preventing you from using certain device features with non-Apple products or services. iMessage is a good example as it took an order from China for Apple to add the RCS messaging standard that Android phones have had for years. Another example is that, while music apps on Android can use Google Assistant features, only Apple Music can utilize Siri features on iOS.

    The official support of Windows 7 has finally ended today!
  • I mean, that's a decision for the managers or execs at Microsoft, not for me. They released the product with a ton of issues, not us.

    Plus, plenty of users are sticking to Windows 10 because it's the better OS for them, whereas Windows 11 has fixed so many long-term issues and introduced enough useful QoL features that make it far better than 10 for me. I think the market share difference compared to previous Windows versions speaks volumes on how badly Microsoft screwed up.

    I just opened an overpriced can of fancy soup and on the label, along with the expected stuff like 'gluten-free' and 'GMO-free,' was 'mustard free' and 'celery free.' Is that a thing now?
  • As a vegetarian in the US, restaurants here have gotten way better about dietary restrictions over the years. Yes, some places still do mislead, but the vast majority usually ask you and the kitchen about ingredients and accommodate accordingly.

    The official support of Windows 7 has finally ended today!
  • As far as the performance issues go, I've experienced a lot of those when I first upgraded from 10 to 11. After reinstalling though, the performance has been amazing.

    I hate all of the constant advertising of MS products and services, especially in the case of Edge, because so many of those products are genuinely amazing, and people won't give them a chance because it's shoved down their throats.

    Switch emulator Ryujinx shuts down development after “contact by Nintendo”
  • Where did I say "oh well, nothing we can do?" You're literally tying random arguments to my name.

    Nobody here made the argument that what is legal is exactly what is fair. Nobody here made the argument that Nintendo being overly litigious is a good thing. The only argument made is that copyright law is flawed because companies abuse it and that lawmakers need to fix it.
