very much so! and also decreases productivity, thus driving bosses to make BS changes that hurt employees more instead of blaming the software companies that make _____ changes adding one click to sign off from windows "decreases productivity"... wow... what the hell are you smoking?

do you have any shady chinese "home theater" mini pc's or "game" systems? those things are notorious for having malware and trying to spread it... all those android boxes that come at a low cost from China seem to have something or other hiding in them...

All I want is another iPhone Mini. Crazy to think that a 6.1-inch phone is now considered the low-end. Remember when the 4.7-inch HTC HD2/HD7/Titan were considered behemoths?

You said this before. We know. Secondly, please do not change the color or size. It's hurting my eyes.

Nice story! How things change, right? This announcement helps the stock of both companies. KO moving to a leading world class cloud services platform + imbued with and leveraging the buzzword of the century (AI), and MSFT getting a massive contract with a world class client. It's all smiles.

DUH! In China, your "social credit score" probably dictates you own a "home brand" device.

Everyone complains of privacy. Well, the first time you installed any software, way before smartphones came along, YOU gave up your privacy the first time you clicked yes on the TOS banner. Yeah, China spies on users. And you don't think Apple, Samsung, Google, the U.S. government doesn't? I had 3 Huawei phones. Mate 2, 8, 9. All three were excellent phones. But when the U.S. government black listed them, the updates stopped, so I dumped it.

Competition is good, good luck Huawei.

i only have the ssf now. and i tried playing cypherpunk 2.0 and far cry 6 and alan wake 2 and it was like 6 frames per second my I7 4790k died on me. power supply went and fried all the parts. so im using the ssf for now.

It takes forever to get actual fixes but if it's Ad-related it gets pushed through to Live within, like, a week. 🙄

Though I understand that Fallout 76 is the weakest title in the series by far, I'd like to point out that it's currently FREE on Amazon Prime Gaming through May 15th, if anyone wants to grab it just in case. 8)

I got the SE2 when it launched. 128 GB for free after carrier promo (minus taxes). I stopped using it last year due to horrendous battery life (which for me existed day one, but I just beared with it). I still use the SE2 to play music

Originally, ducks in oceans undoubtedly swam.

Fallout games saw almost five million players in a single day, Fallout 76 at one million by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Fallout franchise's upwards trend in charts is showing no signs of stopping. Bethesda today announced that within a day, the entirety of the Fallout games saw almost one million players log in and explore the waste land. The one and only online multiplayer game from the mainline RPG series broke a record too. Fallout 76 has reached a million active players in a single day. The announcements arrived via social media posts on the official Fallout account, with them saying "Thank you to the over one million of you who adventured with us in #Fallout76 in a single day … and almost five million across all Fallout games in a single day!" Thank you to the over one million of you who adventured with us in #Fallout76 in a single day... pic.twitter.com/rbariEI4q8 — Fallout (@Fallout) April 23, 2024 Steam is the only platform that shows live player numbers for these titles. SteamDB's latest data shows Fallout 76 broke its concurrent all-time player peaks just two days ago to hit almost 75,000 players on Steam alone. Don't forget that the title is also available on Xbox and PlayStation consoles, as well as Microsoft's Xbox and PC Game Pass subscription programs. Meanwhile, Fallout 4's Steam concurrent player numbers hit a peak of almost 165,000 earlier this week. The RPG is almost ready to receive its long-promised next-gen update too, bringing performance improvements, free content, and bug fixes to players across all platforms. At the same time, the Obsidian-developed Fallout New Vegas almost reached its launch-day peak concurrent numbers this week, The fan-favorite RPG hit 43,000 players on Steam a few days ago. As millions logged in to these titles, even the popular modding platform Nexus was recently having trouble with the surge of players attempting to access its trove of custom modifications. The massive resurgence of players for these classic titles, considering the last single-player Fallout entry released nine years ago, is primarily thanks to the brand-new live-action adaptation from Amazon Prime Video. The well-received TV series has proven to be a massive hit, becoming one of the top three most-watched shows ever on the network. A second season has already been confirmed too.
