The obvious benefit is that they can at least access potential extra views. Without implementing some kind of ad system though, it’s just eyes…so is this just PR for threads?
At this point they might as well just call It COD:Forever Warfare, make it a subscribtion service and sign people up for life, because people will just buy every COD.
Adobe already did this to their CC users. Just opted everyone in to scanning of files and creations. There’s gotta be consumer prptection laws against this.
Because Starfield’s problems don’t have an easy fix. Cyberpunk had initial lack of optimization. Starfield lacks in writing and immersion, also some very basic areas like UI and loading-points. It’s a different mess. I enjoyed both games and hope Microsoft keeps their word and invests in the continued improvement of Starfield. I’d love to come back when it’s gotten better.
“gentlemen, can you look uhm… for me… in a theoretical capacity… if we could just politely raid the Netherlands for vaccines…perhaps even announce to them, that we’d feel it’s best not to raid them even though the option… was discussed.”
It’s unlikely Bethesda is gonna replicate what CDPR has done with Cyberpunk and adress all the issues players have had with the game. If they claim support for years to come that would be the template. And just because 12 million people checked out the game, doesn’t mean it has an active playerbase.
The justification for this is demonetizing white-noise tracks or other work without creative effort that supposedly costs spotify too much. I’m not a fan of the direction this is going because one of the best things about the platform was it’s selection of underground music. This just buries it deeper and doesn’t help artists that are trying to break through. It just shovels the profits to the top earners who are already doing quite well. There aren’t many alternatives and bancamp has been passed down from epic games to songtradr and isn’t anywhere near a real alternative yet.
Well that was the dumbest explanation ever, that’s basically just political pretext to give the government contract to some french company. Potentially there has been some lobbying going on.
Signal doesn’t store it’s encryption/decryption keys in the cloud, so you would need the devices and then you would still have to decrypt content if the user doesn’t give you access manually.
To crack a 128-bit AES key, it would take 1 billion billion years with a current supercomputer. To crack a 256-bit AES key, it would take 2^255 / 2,117.8 trillion years on average.
So until some amazing quantum computer comes along, this is pretty safe. Fuck Olvid.
