My definition for very soon is with-in 2-3 years. In my opinion, a lot the games that are coming out are mostly filler and Nintendo has a track record of doing so before going on to the next big console with the new big AAA titles.

The point is for people to have digital backups their roms to play legally and to play roms on native hardware that will guarantee smooth playing. The cost is also a factor since the switch is ending very soon; a used switch oled, a cart with 7 years worth of “free” games would <=$300. Pretty cheap if one wants to start gaming without breaking the bank.

Adding on to say, yes the Steam Deck is cheaper and better when getting one at the new discount prices. It all depends on preference for emulation or running on original software. And most here would agree that Steam deck with emulation is preferred.

Honestly can’t see people dumping their pcs due to ‘incompatibility.’ Windows 10 support ends officially in 2025 but it doesn’t make it unusable for as long as the computer and programs are working as they should. My parents have a laptop from around 2018 that came with windows 10 and its not windows 11 compatible. They are going to use that thing until it can run no more. It’s essentially a more functional iPad.

Most people who are replacing computers for windows 11 are either college students, people who work on large projects or people who are gaming from a very old set up. As long as everything works with an internet browser and can install proprietary software then most likely they will keep it until the equipment gets too old.

You can find most video lessons on any subject on YouTube for free if you look in the right places. If you are looking for education you can try Khan academy which all the lessons are for free once signed up with an email.

If it’s only on YouTube then it could be a non-chrome browser issue and/or youtube being messed up from the anti ad-blocker stuff. YouTube has been very glitchy over the past month and even so for the past couple of weeks.

Tablet with ReadEra. Easier to read with customization and no fuss with reading all file types.

Deviantart has already done this since the AI image hype train first started. Every picture by default is selected as material for AI training; pictures have to be manually deselected by the user to be excluded. And of course it’s a nightmare for those with tons of art submissions.

Facebook/Instagram may end up having to something like that in the future but I doubt it until someone higher up does something about it.

We still use cable TV because of the way wi-fi is packaged. So we have a decent selection of free movies/tv that I never watched and could watch through tv. It’s the incessant ads that make me pirate the most. It’s worse than watching the same movie on a live dvr recording. Funny, since some of the movies they say are free were also just dvr recordings with the TV station logo in the corner still in tact.

Also, Netflix went away too a year or so ago because the cheapest teir made the movies/shows look like they were in 480p every time. It was unwatchable.

I remembered downloading that stuff for crunchyroll to work. It has to be downloaded and activated (site permissions or something) I think, it’s been years since I used the site.

The point is probably to keep people for downloading and screen recording of copyrighted materials. Anime is not owned by the site, rather it is licensed out to be on the site. This has happened before where many titles straight up disappear because the license expired and wasn’t paid to keep it on. Crunchyroll has no authority on how copyrighted material is displayed, rather the companies probably forced it to for legal viewing. Japan copyright laws are very strict.

Honestly, if you want to watch Anime and have the ability to download it use the official gogoanime site.

Sometimes I get a crash or loading issues with NewPipe, more so on my somewhat older Samsung phone. YouTube does change how videos are accessed so the apps need to update every time that happens. When that happens the crashes and constant loading/stuttering happens a lot. You could try to clear in app cache/data or default resolution to 720p or 1080p. If it still happens then an update needs to come out.

Tried it out a bit. I Ike the idea of the app being basically an rss read for video platforms. This is great for not having a bunch of apps (twitch app/Xtra for twitch and YT app/Newpipe/skytube/etc. for YT.) A user profile and allowing app comments are nice to have on the app.

However, I’m worried about what Rossmann says in regards to profit and maintenance. The app is moderated/worked-on by (I think paid) professionals and we should pay a license of $9.99 yet the app is also unprofitable and may never turn a profit. So, what’s the point in paying for the app?

Rossmann has a millionaire backing up his repair business among other things. So, is some of this being funded by that person and other investors of FUTO or is our money the only thing keeping this afloat? How are these workers getting paid if it’s a one time payment and the money is uncertain? How is the platform going to stay up and pay fair wages? The app is niche and I can’t see too many people paying for a license. I also can’t see too many workers staying unless they are passionate. Something isn’t adding up unless I’m wrong.
