I’m surprised it’s not per-seat or per-user. Not like the dev is getting more money if the user re-installs the game. Also not a fan of it being monthly. I get why you would charge twice if the user installs it twice since you may not be able to track concurrent installs without DRM, but that should only apply if you choose a per-install licence. Per-install also opens you up to malicious users installing/uninstalling to make you pay.
There should be a per-seat/per-user perpetual price if the dev never updates the Unity engine itself. I get charging per-seat/per-user monthly if they devs are pulling in new versions, but that should stop if you cease updating.
The one thing I used the app is now not possible and I have to set up or edit a routine instead as a shitty workaround that takes five times longer. What the fuck, man.
Did everyone here forget that covid started in 2020? This article tries to knock on foxconn by suggesting that their “market fluctuations” claim is an excuse… DURING PEAK COVID. I wonder why they couldnt hire more people or have more of their building occupied… must have been BLATANT CONSERVATIVE LIES
Ohh I’m sorry I didn’t realize that now that covid is over this multi billion company is coming back to fulfill it’s promises. That’s on me, I must have missed that part.
You are throwing the baby with the bath water. Almost every company had to reduce size, reduce occupancy and reduce output. Disregarding the impact of covid when that was a major reason for companies failing is disingenuous.
This corrupt company worked with the corrupt republican governor to really hurt my state. They can get fucked and I have zero interest in giving them any benefit of the doubt nonsense. This was all planned.
Tell me how it was a sham, and tell me how covid had no effect on why
Occupancy wasnt as great as they said it was given everyone was isolating and staying 6ft distance
Supply chains were heavily backlogged due to companies not getting enough man power. My assumption is that given that foxconn is a materials manufacturer, their reduction in personnel heavily reduced their potential output.
Dude supply chain issues are things like your washing machine is back ordered for two months. And they get better. This is billions of dollars in supposed investments that never showed a sign of arriving and still has not despite the pandemic abating.
I can tell you’re feeling defensive but don’t let that stop you from just googling this topic and reading what you will easily find.
For starters it was to build lcd screens. You know…those things that were already being replaced back before 2017 by oled.
Before ground was broken the entire industry already knew LCD tvs and panels were being replaced, yet that’s what the “state of the art” facility was going to be manufacturing.
Named Apollo, the machine is designed to “work in environments designed for, and directly alongside, humans.” The android is initially intended to move and carry cases and totes in logistics and manufacturing settings.
But the Austin-based Apptronik sees Apollo expanding into “construction, oil and gas, electronics production, retail, home delivery, elder care” and more.
Apollo follows Xiaomi’s reveal of the CyberOne robot last year, which looked remarkably similar to the still-unreleased Tesla Bot.
(Apptronik says it optimized efficiency by making its arms lighter than the weight they can lift.)
It uses swappable batteries — running up to four hours per pack — which should provide more flexibility than robots that require wall charging before springing back into action.
The company says it built “modularity into Apollo’s design, empowering users to decide whether Apollo is best used for their applications as a true bi-pedal walking humanoid, a torso that operates on wheels or one mounted in a stationary location.” The robot has digital panels on its face and chest to provide a “friendly, human-like countenance” to make workers feel comfortable working alongside it (as it potentially moves towards automating their jobs).
The original article contains 262 words, the summary contains 190 words. Saved 27%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Gee, a controllable and fairly steady source of something that naturally generates methane. Better just bury it real quick because we’ve got fracking to do!
I couldn’t even use the DSi for long periods. It’s just too thin to hold comfortably and you end up doing some sort of weird claw grip just to hold it.
Ended up playing mostly stylus based games like Professor Layton and Ghost Trick. I even played Zelda with the stylus.
Once again, a !technology thread that's full of nothing but negativity. Wouldn't most people have agreed before this that Amazon's review system was kinda sucky and could use improvement? Will having these summaries make the reviews any worse? Let's see how it goes.
I can’t wait to play this! Quake II and Quake III Arena are my all time favourite games. God they were just so cool when they came out. Quake II especially was light years beyond anything else out at the time. And they were FAST too!
Screencheat is a fps game that supports 8 player split screen, but I think that is just about it. Is a hassel to set up 8 controllers as xinput only supports 4 and rest will have to be in directinput mode so anyting with more than 4 players is rare.
I have zero nostalgia for Quake (i was 5 when it came out lol), but i wonder how this will do! Quake Champions didn’t seem to light the world on fire, but i wonder if the multiplayer scene here will blow up.
I was basically in the same boat. I didn’t have a PC powerful enough to run Quake 2 well at the time. I could do Quake 1, and played the hell out of it, but Q2 was a complete slideshow. By the time I was able to upgrade it was Half-Life days, so Q2 multiplayer will always be a missing chunk of PC FPS history for me.
Quake itself was ok. The multiplayer version was fun. But the real fun started when people began modding the game. The original Team Fortress was actually a free mod for Quake which I'm pretty sure quickly became the most popular instance of the game for online play.
Funny random tidbit, I actually remember playing the game with one dude who specifically had to brag about having a high powered 1ghz processor as his username in the game (something like 1gigahertz or something cheesy like that). Pretty sure back then I was still rocking a 700mhz AMD Athlon Thunderbird processor.
The mods were fantastic. One that always sticks in my mind was Quake Rally. I think you controlled a car and drove it through the standard levels or some new maps, I can’t remember, it’s been so long.
