They could have easily crammed the Steam Deck full of stuff to make it hard to use for piracy - locking down everything, making it usable only to play games you legitimately own, force you to go through who knows what hoops in order to play games on it. That’s what Nintendo or Apple or most other companies do....
That's not moving goalposts, you're just arguing semantics. People generally think of eliminate when they say prevent in this kind of conversation....
If anything if they went "prevention" and not "eliminate" like in your sense...it would be even dumber because it would just make the steamdeck a more restrictive x86-processor computer compared to the systems people were already comparing it to up until it's release
Imagine how it would've gone down if people were saying "Of course you can do that, it's a PC" if people responded with "Yeah, except it's 10x harder to do things you could normally do on PC". They wanted it to be close to how a PC is, it was part of the advertising campaign.
Pretty much the title. I’ve been watching more realistic super hero shows like The Boys and Invincible. The reoccurring themes is that with great power comes great immorality....
Though I don't think that's too big a loss when you're using it to sleep. If you used time stop for something that was both exhausting and wasting your time, that'd probably be worse honestly.
It would certainly become noticeable after awhile since as you said, it's one third of your life.
Not really, it's more internet in general. And if we look at social media, they have accounts as frustrating as crunchyroll to fully delete but without anything to pirate.
Like it's a fair complaint but, to be fair
If you're trying to delete your account you're already going to a different provider (in this case, piracy), so it's not like you would've happily come back to Crunchyroll just because they let you delete your account easier.
PC for most games, but I also use it for most things in general
Steamdeck for any mid-tier games that can run on it well, or games that i'll be playing while also doing other things. Also for portability
Switch for better portability if the quality will be more or less the same, since it's lighter, smaller, and doesn't heat up much/at all. But also pretty much strictly for portability. If I plan to use it on a screen i'll use steamdeck.
Without a date or any way to source the comment, it could be something from 2-3 years ago.
Obviously it's not in this case, but it's a very real issue on reddit (in fact there was a post recently) of people debating topics that were being reposted by bots from several years ago. Basically it lets people dredge up old, already talked about topics without bringing any recent relevance to the topic.
I feel like unless we're talking about supernatural AI the only answer is A&B
Otherwise the box has no real way of knowing what you would've picked, so it's complete RNG.
If there was a realistic way that it could make that decision i'd choose only B, but otherwise it just doesn't make sense.
edit: I also didn't realize until after I read it that box A always has the million dollars. So there's actually no reason to pick only box B in this scenario. The paradox only makes sense if box A is significantly less than box B. It's supposed to be a gambling problem but A&B is completely safe with the changes made.
I feel like the Steam Deck is the best proof of Gabe Newell's quote that "piracy is a service issue."

Be honest: if you had the power to stop time, your morals would go out the window. (lemmy.zip)

Piracy vs. Crunchyroll account deletion (lemmy.haigner.me)
Crunchyroll...
What gaming console / platform do you prefer?
I’ve gone from PC to Xbox 360 to Nintendo Switch and very excited about the recent addition of a Steam Deck. Curious what y’all gaming on?
