Yeah Usenet was crap for binary downloads long before the BitTorrent protocol was invented.
It’s just so under the radar that it continues to plod along.

True.
I agree but I think fundamentally the smart tv hardware is so cheap to bundle in (and gives them hope of revenue) that it probably doesn’t add to the price.
Just set the default HDMI input to something else and ignore.
I agree. The Wii U was great fun. The second screen was great for off-TV play and for local multiplayer.
Not only was it terribly marketed, but Nintendo had trouble getting the 3DS to sell and put all their energy into saving that. This left the Wii U with a lack of games at launch.
Combine that with EA dropping Nintendo because they refused to adopt Origin as their online platform, and it was doomed from the start, whether the hardware was good or not.
Edit: and the gamepad was more comfortable to hold than the Switch, ironically.
Microsoft were monopoly seeking/abusing pricks in the 80s/90s/00s but I had just about started to accept that maybe they had changed. Accepting open source and open standards, and competing on their merits in the gaming world.
I was wrong. They’re not as powerful as they were 20 years ago but, having seen this email, their tactics seem unchanged.
Did you mean PS2? There’s about a decade between N64 and PS3.
Good luck getting the ignorant masses to mask up these days.
They’re great for server side, but personally I wouldn’t use one as a streaming client.
@gkd@lemmy.world This looks like a fantastic start! As an Apollo user it’s a very familiar experience.
At the very least I’ll try to test and submit bug reports. If I can find the time I’ll try to do some development too. (I could do with a React side-project…)
I think they’re confusing it with Fourecks.
