Really? "Urge to do moves/actions from it in real life" is the same as thinking or dreaming about it?
From my experience with the Tetris effect, not one occurrence fits his description, but I experience the Tetris effect in most weeks in my life. That's why it feels like such a disconnected description for me.
That is a pretty bad description of the Tetris effect. Also incredibly misleading. The very short description from Wikipedia reads:
The Tetris effect occurs when someone dedicates vast amounts of time, effort and concentration on an activity which thereby alters their thoughts, experiences, dreams, and so on.
Yup, it would be. But many people are, so they changed that it's displayed at all by default.
Since the other comment didn't Go into detail: Microsofts "Recall" will so that on every Windows 11 PC soon. Literally index everything you do or look at, OCR-ing periodic screenshots. Also storing them, possibly including sensitive information like this.
Ah yes of course, edited. Both are the unwanted stepchildren, so it's hard to keep em straight when you don't care about em...
You clearly misunderstood my post. Never said it was apples to apples, quite the opposite. I said the change from 7 to 10 was much bigger (and yes, we're ignoring Win 8 completely).
And of course will there be an uptick in Linux usage, he says it would be a "big" one, to which I objected to. Linux desktop has been trending up for a while, and while there might be a slight additional bump, I highly doubt it will be far beyond the margin of error for that general positive trend.
I also said it "barely" moved (it being the market share), which implies it did move, just not a lot.
More to the expected magnitude of the 10 EoL date pushing people to Linux, it won't be anywhere near what valve accomplished with the steam deck. Why? Because people buy a gaming console, they can play games on. Most don't care that it's Linux, it's just a tool/toy. It happens to be Linux underneath. On their PC they actively have to change it themselves. If people bought a PC that had Linux on it, they probably wouldn't overly notice or care either, but they just can't. Overwhelmingly they just come with windows, it you want it or not (usually there is no option to not buy that license).
Edit: what is harder to predict (or guess) is the indirect influence of valves accomplishment. Now that gaming on Linux it's actually viable, this might actually open the door for more people to give it a go. But as per usual with these things, it's probably less people who actually do it than one would intuitively expect or hope.
Edit 2: changed Vista to Win8
People said that about Windows 7 EoL too, which was much more of a paradigm shift. Absolutely nothing happened. The dial for "market share" barely moved, let alone Linux increasing substantially.
Just not gonna happen. I really wish it would, but it's just wishful thinking. Most people either don't care (they just "use a PC") or wouldn't know how to switch anyway.
I'm still using Nextcloud, have been for only 2-3 years, but it's getting to the point where I'm more annoyed about it than appreciating the usefulness
It's not just being slow, it issues with the install. I'm pretty sure these days I'd be better of with specialized individual services than this one monster that die absolutely nothing well. It still can't even sync files on Android ffs. I'd consider this core functionality.
Because you can't read the article by reading it's number, and there isn't enough room for the whole article on normally visible parts of the body (not to mention the cost of that tattoo).
The QR code would give you a way to copy/paste the id so you can actually give and, you know, read the thing.
A QR code can also just contain plain text. It's just usually used for URLs.
Yes, and in that state it's still better than any other smart watch I've tried. By a lot, too. Which is honestly just sad, but here we are...
Nothing is "obvious" about that. What you present as the only possible conclusion from their actions is just your subjective interpretation. Could be true, of course. I highly doubt it (which is my subjective interpretation).
Someone realized that the investment required for making a PC port (or having the studio include it) is less than the money you can make from selling it on PC. Selling consoles (the hardware) isn't what makes them money, it's reasonably common for them to be sold at a loss, especially early in the life cycle. Profit comes from people buying games they take a cut from, which is unchanged if Sony is also the publisher (or even the developer).
In any case, if I'm right or wrong isn't even the point either (I'm probably wrong, too). The point is it's incredibly complicated, and nothing is even slightly "obvious" about it.
