My PC is above minimum specs and BG3 ran really poorly even on low. Maybe they got a similar issue with the s.

I tried playing it on PC today, but it ran really poorly even on low, so I refunded it and will be waiting for the Xbox version as well.

I tried to play Baldurs Gate 3 but for some reason, it runs really poorly on my system so I refunded it. On the plus side, a friend of mine has caught up in Diablo 4 so we played some multiplayer which was great fun.

And I played some Timberborn, which seems fun at least for a while. Probably not a long term game for me though.

I’d agree with you if the game wasn’t paraded around as the perfect example for not having additional purchases.

You don’t need power storage for months, if you combine different renewable sources and have power lines connecting different areas. Wind and solar complement each other usually.

You need to be able to bridge a few weeks though, because there will be gaps, but you don’t need to store solar power for half a year to make it. It is still a big issue, but no need to exaggerate.

As much as I’d like to agree, those projects have very different goals and constraints.

I’d guess even if some other man made satellite is perfectly in line, those wouldn’t have even close to the necessary transmission power to reach voyager.

Usually there is a compromise somewhere though. If they could just add all the features without any downsides, they surely would (and demand a premium for it). Granted, sometimes it is just cheaper to get rid of it (and thus make more profit), but sometimes its just a decision to cater to a minority or provide a benefit for the majority of users.

Almost all of those are pretty niche problems though. Which explains why they just aren’t a high priority for manufacturers.

Some people don’t own cars with all that Bluetooth bullshit, or just prefer to use the jack since it is lossless audio.

I really hate that cars seem to drop a built in music solution in favor of smartphones. Give me a good radio and a cd player or sdcard slot over any smartphone connectivity and I’m happy.

Ask the customers what they want, it’s that easy.

Don’t forget though, that the typical customer may be very different from the bubble on this site.

Maybe for some people. There is however a strong momentum to just keep using what you are used to, and Apple has done a great job in that regard. Stuff just works and it keeps working mostly the same and even switching to a new device is almost effortless. Plus their design guidelines for apps is providing a pretty consistent user experience, zero tinkering required. Which is what a lot of people like.

apples done those things and we said the same thing about those moves. And now look at em.

True, however a lot of people really don’t care about that stuff which somehow often gets overlooked here and on reddit.

It kinda is. Windows 11 won’t run on older hardware and end of life of the latest version of Win 10 is coming up in 2 years or so. And a bunch of PCs weren’t really ready for Win 10 when that replaced Win 7/8 and again, support for those dropped at some point.

Lifetimes are usually more lenient with PCs, but it still happens. You can switch to Linux of course, but then there are alternatives for many smartphones as well.

How steep of a downhill and how fast are you going? Gravity will pull depending on the angle of the hill, wind resistance increases with the square of your speed. There will always be a speed where the force pulling you down/forwards will be the same as the force slowing you down due to wind resistance. If you go slower, your car will speed up towards that speed, if you are already faster, it will naturally slow down with no input from the engine or your brakes.

Interesting purely mechanical design. Our first remote (that didn’t have a cable connection) used sound as well, but it was battery powered and as a kid, I could hear at least some of those sounds. It had way more than just 4 buttons though, maybe the mechanical design hits a limit there at some point (or electronics just got cheaper).

Microsoft used to offer cheaper licenses for Exchange for small companies. They have discontinued those cheaper offers for current software versions which means for many smaller companies, buying a Windows Server license and Exchange got prohibitively expensive and after end of life of those old versions the only feasible option forward was to switch to the cloud version of Exchange (and thus a subscription).

Looks like a perfect space for every lazy person to push their shopping cart into.
