I could've sworn I've seen something like this in a W10 or W11 installation not even that long ago though.

It's not something I imagine EU would just forget about whenever a new OS dropped.

I thought we've already been through this before?

I vaguely remember getting the option which browser to use during an install before.

Feels like they need to stop nitpicking about this stuff. I barely know anyone that even uses Edge, it's almost like it just functions as a downloader for Chrome or anything else.

At what point are they gonna stop? Until Windows comes without any browsers at all? And we'll have to store copies of installers on USBs And postmail Google if we want a copy of Chrome.exe because we accidentally deleted it?

Well, looks like then I might have to start shutting down my use of Chrome.

I used to be fine with adverts, not a big deal. Until they became insanely intrusive. Noticed that YouTube recently stopped to even show the countdown to skip or the length of the actual ad on some devices/apps, so it's always guesswork when you can actually skip or how long it would run after the skip becomes available. And the amount of ads going in videos is getting disgusting as well, I know it's partly up to the creators, but fucking hell I often get ads like not even a minute into the video already, often running longer than the time I've spent actually watching the video.

They're really just gonna Order 66 this whole thing huh

Lmao now even the moderators get cancelled by Reddit.

The platform can't die quick enough, it turned into such a fucking cesspool of powertripping mods and circlejerks. And it's impossible to ever get in contact with admins because they replaced them all by bots. There are also so many bot posters that at some point it'll just be bots moderating bots, moderated by admin bots.

What?

It says "smear-campaign", but where I live (not US) there were immigrants taking pet cats off the streets with ill intentions.

They can, difference is a vast majority of people don't want to buy/build a PC, or deal with a PC setup in general, they just want to press one button to make it work and sit on the couch. So the easy option for them is buying a console, it's plug and play, while a PC requires quite some setup.

The difference is the price of buying discs vs. buying from a digital store that has no competitors.

I've bought almost exclusively second-hand discs for my PS5, because they're like half the price for the exact same content.

Sadly it'll probably be just a matter of time before those will be phased out as well, one way or another.

It was pretty much a given that this would happen, since there were already options with and without disc drives.

And obviously sooner or later gaming will probably move to an entirely online service like streaming.

It's just a matter of time until the internet and worldwide coverage is ready for it. I always imagined that in a distant future we'd basically only buy a controller, that connects to an app that'll let you stream. And every game will be in a subscription service like a Netflix.

Sounds similar to people trying to get me into alcohol, never liked it much, but everyone always keeps pushing it as if I need to "learn" to drink it.

Fucking no. It's disgusting. I like my occasional light alcohol drink but I ain't chug down litres and piss it, and my money, away because it's "cool".
