There are two actors who are really against WFH: on the hand hand highest echelons of management who know they probably have these buildings as part of their balance sheet and need its valuation to stay high, to borrow against. And on the other hand banks and investors who financed buildings like this and have them on their balance sheet and need its valuation to stay high to leverage against. These guys use manipulative media to make this a moral judgement call of work ethics and propagate theses ideas of „working hard = working from the office“ to middle management who are generally just regurgitating these statements. The results will be devastating, since companies acting in their or their banks‘ short term valuation interest will in turn bleed the most crucial talent left and right. I am working in and around IT and every developer or admin who is really, really good either has better WFH conditions than the rest or has a new job by now already. Everyone else comes to the office. This commercial real estate bubble needs to pop fast and WFH and voluntary hybrid models (not everyone has the office space at home or wants to WFH, some capacity should be reserved for them) become the norm, so companies can focus on their business again.

I actually don’t think this has anything to do with standing up for their users but is a simple cost/benefit analysis: building compromised E2E-communication that is still reasonably secure against bad actors is much more difficult (if not impossible) than building robust E2E-communication. Apple just doesn’t want to lose business users over headlines like „iOS messaging used by Chinese spies to steal US trade secrets“, while headlines about how difficult it is for government agencies to unlock iPhones probably drive sales. Nothing morally or ethical here, only profits.

Picking up games I am currently playing on my gaming PC like the RE-engine Resident Evils and remakes or Jedi and Hogwarts have been my best experiences so far. Yes, graphical fidelity isn’t as good, but the general seamlessness gives serious Switch vibes, but for modern games instead of the more „mobile“ feeling of the average Switch game.

I only own Linux and macOS devices, except for my gaming PC. With Steamdeck and SteamOS I am really hopeful to eliminate this last Windows installation in the next few years.

Can someone maybe post the contents?

I really like the implementation, it is not intuitively found, but as soon as one knows it comes very naturally.

I immediately requested my data after one of the early posts from Christian of Apollo, and they still haven’t delivered, they want to stop any migration dead in its tracks probably.

At least Bethesda has the - thinly veiled - excuse that Starfield engine is proprietary and maybe doesn’t support DLSS as easily. As an UE4 game Jedi has no excuse at all.

I find it so comical, that is Nintendo fans are saying something so logical and uncontroversial, yet say it with a lot of doubt, since Nintendo could very well fuck us over for no gain at all.

Sorry, no first hand experience, but I heard okay things for 30 fps @ 60 Hz for medium settings. I will wait on summer sale in a few days if the offer gets any better, but then I‘ll probably bite.

Yes I think SONY will be able to shape the refresh to a degree and Slim will make much more sense than Pro. But there is some headroom left for ray tracing, maybe the Pro is focusing on that?

Switch should have been refreshed a few years ago. I’m not holding my breath Nintendo does it now.
