At first I thought this must be obviously bad satire. I thought: “If course newer cards at the same price level aren’t worse than older cards, they are just not as much better as they have been in the past.”, and if you think the same, you may be surprised as well.

Thank you for your detailed reply! I personally view LMG videos as purely entertaining, they shouldn’t trash other people for data quality or accuracy, since they are rather weak in that field as well. Rather they should focus on entertainment for entertainment’s sake, where they are - at least in my opinion - stronger than a lot of the rest.

This looks in line with ER, I hope they fixed the shader compilation stuttering.

Netflix‘s gaming endeavors seem so half heartedly and bored out of their mind. Like they have the money, they can buy a studio or a publisher or two if they want to get into games. But they only seem to talk about gaming if times are tough (losing subscriber last year, actor-writer strike this year) and forgetting about it as soon as quarterly results are better than expected. And then cloud gaming? Really? If Microsoft cannot do it today without additional latency over consoles, with a steady framerate and without compression artifacts, Netflix won’t fare better and realistically worse. The cloud gaming optimists(!) are expecting USD 17 billion cloud gaming market size by 2028. This is negligible compared to the gaming market at large and will need to be shared by a lot of players. I thought we were over this, when Stadia closed.

Which meaningless drama did I miss here?

I only remember the Samsung rugged ones, which do not look great. Some compromise will be needed to get removable batteries into phones. Compromises the buyer of a gold iPhone Pro Max to flex their wealth won’t appreciate. Not DRMing batteries and giving users access to documentation and tools for replacing the battery requires almost no compromise from no one (except a tiny dent in Apple‘s balance sheet, which they will recover from, I’m sure).

This. People read this and think about the removable batteries of Nokia bricks and plastic hardshells, but this would really hamper with IP68 rating. It probably just means the users must be able to replace the battery themselves, instead of artificially locking it down with DRM. And maybe provide some documentation. Otherwise phones would become so much worse, than they have been for more than a decade.

I won’t get my hopes up, since VR is all but dead without some VR-first/VR-exclusive AAA games, but maybe, maybe Apple’s Vision Pro, triggered some FOMO somewhere.

Has this story ever been confirmed by Target directly? As this happened in America and her father was outraged about it, it would have been awfully convenient, to “blame” the algorithm for “discovering”, she was pregnant. It takes quite a data analyst to figure out trends before someone even knows they are pregnant. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out a pattern for someone if they know they are pregnant and are just hiding it from their dad.

Far from it, it their profit is down like a lot.
