This has nothing to do with the gaming industry, specifically. This is a basic (very effective) marketing strategy. But typically federal regulations prohibit them from advertising something as “on sale” perpetually so it has to be advertised at retail price for x% of the time.
Except the tech companies are among the politicians’ biggest “donors”.
Sorry, text is too small to read.
Because forums sucked? Still do.
Talking about “average daily commute” in a conversation about maximum EV range is completely pointless unless you personally never drive anywhere else.
They have no power here.
Okay so you’re just sticking with repeating the same non-sense over and over.
I literally have no idea what any of that is supposed to mean or how it’s related to this discussion.
I self-host a Ghost blog. It’s about as safe as any other service exposed to the internet.
Already here, that’s where he posted this update:
I’m sure they do but reporting on deaths or any other form of devastation doesn’t preclude them from also reporting on things that might affect the global economy.
My Mom is far too old to know anything about Limewire.
what are you expecting dude?
Literally any sort of explanation why you think “sideload” = “dangerous”? Other than just repeating that it is over and over.
Again I ask, how? There’s absolutely nothing in the name to suggest it is “dangerous” or “bad”.
Tech illiterate people will not understand it at all.
our power company is rather restrictive in their choice of chargers to support.
Most of them want you to give them control over your charger so they can load-balance. Much like they do with your thermostats. OpenEVSE supports this via EmonCMS, I believe? I dunno, mine stopped getting software updates a long time ago.
Right, you repeatedly refuse to answer simple questions and I’m the “wilfully obtuse” one. Okay.
sideloading makes it sound like something dangerous
…according to whom? Who came up with this? If they called it “dangerloading” I’d be all on your side.
It did, you just did not accept the answer.
No. It didn’t. You just repeated the same statement with no explanation or justification.
Installing apps is just installing apps, regardless of its source.
You’re mad that a term exists that specifies their source?
Sideloading, just like jaywalking, makes it sound like you are doing something dangerous, something forbidden, something you should not do.
…how? Honestly this sounds like something you made up in your head. I don’t understand why you refuse to answer the question.
The whole locking down of operating systems is to take control away from the user.
I don’t understand what that has to do with this conversation.
I just bought the assembled kit.
Not that I care but clearly a lot of people appreciate the increased performance and resolution that other handhelds offer. And the vast majority of games don’t need touchpads.
