anythings capable of it, but the companies behind the (premium) boxes have less of an incentive. While theyre all capable, its a matter if you have trust in them. At least for the Shield TV for example, go download a shield tv rom if you really don’t trust Nvidia. If you are paranoid that they all can do it, than any smart device can do it because its connected to the internet.
this is why you get a separate apple tv/android box and not connect your tv to the internet
its more or less that yes. they saw the money but not the time and effort to get users to use your platform.
and its not like impossible, as long as you can create games people will play and stay at itll work (e.g Riot), but they legit put such little effort in the launchers that it was creating a negative user experience, and never put in the money to make it better.
first in SEA but second if you consider general asia (Taiwan was first). iirc Thailand gets a handful of gay tourists which really helps with their tourism numbers from the other countries who either have it banned or its a dont ask dont tell situation. heres an article that covers it in the past 5 years
for things to work out that way, the states would have to mutually accept such arrangements as valid. california cannot directly impose such laws vs other states but only can influence companies to apply it company wide.
basically some agreement has to be made in order to universally do it elsewhere, for example drivers licenses and marriage agreements are automatically acknowledged between states, even if a requirment for them or something related to it were to be illegal(e. g gay marriage) in a state. this mutual agreement doesnt apply to all laws.
imagine accepting 63k to die
a couple of reasons, some being that 1, ip addresses are limited on the internet, and making it free would instantly fill it up. another is that there is still some work involved,because once you register for a domain, internet service providers and DNS providers around the world need to also add your newly established domain to ip to their DNS so that people get redirected to your domain correctly. the domain endings also have a cost attached to them due to popularity and who is allowed to hand them out. e.g country related domains (e.g .kr for korea, .fr for france has their reasons to charge or without handing a domain out, but some countries may get lucky and happen to have a domain thats desirable (e.g Anguilla has .ai) and thus will charge more
you also want to prevent domain name ransoming. if domain names were free, there will be people registering for all domain names to use as bargaining chips against a person or company similar to social media handles
i meam the payment for a domain name is kinda worth it. as well as a functional vpn

do people in the UK not like things like Teriyaki, or like americanized Chinese food like orange chicken?
its only assumed yeah that the parents were financially well off because it was a common thing back then (and is still prevelent today) where couples would adopt children, not knowing that they were victims of child trafficking.
keep in mind this case was only solved because the neice did a DNA ancestry test and found a nearest match. If police wanted this data, they either would have needed to ask said family to turn in DNA (which id imagine back then, wasnt a service at this scale) or to give them 100% access to DNA data of every citizen, which I doubt anyone wants.
afaik, steam drm is optional and its the devs decision to use it or not. thats why there is actually a list of games that are hosted on steam without DRM.
basically yeah, covid-19 ontop of console shortage and people getting more free time/unemployment checks boosted the PC space a lot.
because they didnt learn, in order to make more profit per sale on your platform, you either:
make a platform consumer friendly enough that people are willing to use it (the part that is most important)
or
make a game thats “good enough” that people will use your platform as a service (e.g Riot)
EA and Ubisoft (mostly) failed at both, with both hanging on a thread (Apex for EA, R6S for Ubisoft)
if its strictly nas, yeah thats a flaw. the advantage of the x86 devices is that the low power chips have good transcoding. so its common for people to pick up intel n series boards for intel quicksync, and the raw expansion ports for storage
AMD is testing arm in the backend, but they have no incentive to switching to an ARM design at the moment. I fully believe both AMD and Nvidia are waiting for Qualcomm/Microsoft to iron out Windows for Arm before they release their projects. Nvidia of course has experience via tegra for linux via jetson. AMD is just making use of their advantageous situation on desktop/server market to not need to immediately shift to ARM.
With Ryzen x3D for consumers(desktop), and Ryzen #c cores for low power server core count/low power consumption/yields. they control a huge mind share and the only one they dont control is low power boards (<35W) devices as it’s not their current priority (theyre devouring the server market)
no, it runs on x86 as its essentially a semicustom AMD chip. AMD currently does not have any consumer facing ARM chips
its not exactly for the positive reason you think. theyre trying to prevent the class action lawsuit going around the (UK?) right now and realized when a certain amount of people take the arbitration, it gets fairly costly, so they reverted on that clause.
regardless fuck arbitration, its like paying off judges but even more transparent about it.
its basically doing the right thing for the wrong reason (reverting arbitration cause not for thr consumer, but for their wallets)
