It’s not going to be banned. It’s a forced sale or spinoff. They’ll still have TikTok. Media just made up the term ban. It’s just that tencent has ties overseas and they don’t want the foreign influence

The vast, vast majority of people don’t even know these platforms exist

Occam’s Razor

Note even with all of this they only recommend they use encrypted messaging. We should merrily go along with fb messenger or sms or whatever they swear is good.

No this is the fake “heart wrenching” side of Facebook, for your older relatives. These videos were real once, 15 years ago when we all watched the soldier come home as a surprise, but algorithms came in, monetization came in, and now anyone can just manufacture a fake moment just like that! Of course people get bored, so gotta amp it up. Not only are they home but they rose from the grave! Amazing!

And even though it’s fake it gets attention, and likes, and people say it’s fake and other people just comment “AMEN JESUS” and the algorithm promotes it, the people who made it get a few bucks, and they do it again in a week

I think they forget that people below them value their own lives. I don’t know any security guards who are willing to lay down their own lives for some CEO for moderate pay. If it’s that or continuing to live? Idk, it’s a feel good measure in my book.

So many CEOs on LinkedIn calling for more security for executives. None of them have the self awareness to think “is my company doing anything that would warrant such a response?”. Maybe stop being evil fucks?

Yeah that’s all it really says. Media made it into a ban, but it’s just that China has major influence over it and the us doesn’t want that, so they need to sell it or spin it off to an American company. Or they can shut it down, but no one is just going to set that much money on fire and walk away. The modern world I guess.

Agree. I know it’s a hot take but i really don’t think the death penalty is the solution to anything. It never just stays the people who deserve it, and far too many people have been wrongfully convicted to justify keeping it. It’s too final

Same my friend, same. I’m starting my new factory on Friday and I’m getting ready for the math.

Btw if you’re not already, we’re here at !satisfactory@lemmy.world

Once again the executives punish the workers, as they scramble to figure out why their products won’t sell.

Hot theory, maybe those executives should be the ones leaving, let the workers do what they do best without the limitations put in place by management.

Business continues to realize the limits of the AI hype bubble

I believe so? I think? It’s been a long time. The only thing I could see that would prevent it is if they require a check when launching it, but I remember if you had the disc in that was enough for it before.

Okay the other person is onto the right path but I think it’s important to understand the underlying reasons for how “backwards compatibility” works on the Xbox.

The 360 used a PowerPC architecture, which at the time was very cost effective at the time. Pretty much most things now use x86, our standard 32-bit and 64-bit CPUs are this architecture. (ARM is another type that we are seeing now).

Now, you cannot run code from one PC architecture to another, even emulated this is a very costly procedure, every call to the CPU, every call has to be translated. Even with emulation this is difficult. (Note how we’re still just now getting 360 emulators).

This is mostly why Microsoft and Sony both said no to backwards compatibility, because there was no simple way to take a disc, pop it in, and play.

So after the massive backlash (which they deserved, but also was understandable their point of view), Microsoft created their backward compatibility program. Essentially what they (or developers, not sure who did it) did, was to literally re-compile each entire game for x86, instead of PowerPC. They would then upload the bits to Microsoft, and that is what you download when playing. The disc you insert is purely for checking that you own it, after that you ignore everything else and download the x86 version which is runnable on your console.

So, it stands that backward compatibility wasn’t feasible, it still isn’t “backward compatible”. They rebuilt everything from the source code to run. A pretty massive effort on Microsoft’s part and the developers just so we could play old games. Hopefully you see too why I don’t blame Sony for not going through all of that, it’s a lot of work.

So to answer your questions:

1. Digitally downloaded in x86 with the disc as key
2. No, it is a simple recompile, from the original source code
3. No, since there is only the PowerPC bits on the disc, there is no way to play the game on a newer x86 cpu without downloading the x86 bits
4. They work the same, once compiled for x86 it works for all x86 processors. (Caveats in software engineering of course, but in this case you can assume they are the same)
5. Microsoft went through a ton of effort to get this working, and developers each had to pull up old projects, figure out how to build them again, and did all of this for free. I’m all for hating on Microsoft for a myriad of reasons, but this was a project that had very little profit for them but did the community a huge service. They have my thanks, and Sony has my understanding for why they didn’t do it at the time.

I don’t agree with their tankie views, but it does force me to see other views. However I usually just eyeroll and move on.

If I see racism or hate though that’s an immediate block.

“I just find driving more convenient. Transit always takes longer and never goes where you need it to, and with a car I get to be comfortable”

They type into their phone arguing on Facebook while sitting at the dealership waiting for their car to be ready

Literally an office episode. Satire is reality

Doesn’t matter, there’s more than likely a callback in the url that says who it was, and now the sender knows the number is active and the user clicks on links

Holding up a giant sign that says “I CLICK ON WHATEVER BULLSHIT LINK YOU SEND ME”

I think entire groups of people shouldn’t exist!

I disagree

Fuckin woke bullshit!
