Fucking hell. I just installed this last week on my mom’s Fire TV for her so she’s not inundated with ads.

So about 20 minutes of profit and a guaranteed yearly rate increase that’ll be higher than normal. I’m sure they learned their lesson.

No problem! Glad I could help!

While I don’t know specifically of any compatibility issues, have you checked PC Part Picker? You can enter all your components into the site and it’ll tell you if there’s any potential compatibility problems.

One just recently took effect in the UK, but that’s the only one I know of.

Seems like this is Mortal Engines: The Game, so I’m looking forward to checking this out.

Damn, dude! 😂

I don’t know why you got down voted when what you said was 100% correct. People have had this constant fear that our phones are listening, which I totally get because of how creepy some apps behave, but if phones did have an active mic all the time and were processing or sending the voice recordings anywhere, you’d see the battery hit and it would be substantial. Repeated testing has shown they’re not listening. As you’ve pointed out, the various tracking and profile building tech and ad companies are engaging in ends up building extremely detailed and specific profiles such that they can pretty accurately predict our behavior. It’s fucked, and it sucks, but it’s a different issue than a phone listening in on you.

Lol, gotcha. I thought I was falling even further behind the times! 😅

I am an old, and thus out of touch with the slang of the youths these days. Can you tell me if a “shitting” app is good or bad? Thanks!

It’s Anker, not Ankler. Your link goes to a domain squatting page.

There’s always one.

EA rarely makes good use of the devs it consumes and destroys, unfortunately. This isn’t even the first racing team that I was a fan of they’ve destroyed. Hell, it’s not even the first British racing team they’ve destroyed. They’re truly a plague on the industry.

While I definitely hope the people laid off all land on their feet, having a handful of people from a large team show up at another studio doesn’t really do anything for us. We’ll never get another DriveClub or OnRush or Dirt 5 because the magic that team made has been scattered to the winds.

In a perfect world, sure, but I only know of one time when most of a team stayed together after being laid off and that was when Sony shut down Evolution Studios and around 80% of them were picked up by Codemasters. It’s not likely to happen again and the Nacon has multiple fully staffed racing teams, including the one that made the WRC games before EA bought Codemasters and destroyed them.

I wouldn’t hold your breath. Word is, those recent EA layoffs hit a lot of the Codemasters people, including the teams working on their rally games. They mostly kept the F1 team because that series inexplicably sells tons every release (never been an F1 fan myself, but there does seem to be an appetite for those games). Anyone not on the F1 team was moved to another internal EA team whose name escapes me at the moment and they’re working as a support team for others.

I’ve never understood xtian and xmas. Jeebus supposedly got nailed to what they call a cross, but was really a lowercase t. The abbreviations that would make sense to me would be tian and tmas. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Pretty sure that’s the exact premise of a Black Mirror episode.

I feel like you’re trying to set us up the bomb.

Eldritch, but you’re absolutely right. These people are literal monsters in any meaningful definition of the word. I can’t conceive of any human having a void where their empathic sense should be, yet here we are, with a disturbing number of such assholes running around.

Well, that’s fucking terrifying.
