I noticed in my local supermarket in the UK they started wearing cameras too it’s really weird. I’m really not sure what their goal is - it will never help shoplifting as much as static cameras, and seems a lot of effort to safeguard against abusive customers.

Eh I dunno, I got bored of it before I finished the story or explored the other half of the map. Feels like a bit of a failing there. 30 hours would be fine if it was a fully contained experience.

This doesn’t even make sense to me. Are we assuming these people don’t own their own homes and are still paying rent to reach these figures? 31k to be ‘moderate’ seems absolutely stupid to me if housing is taken care of, and who has 31k a year pension but didn’t pay off their mortgage by retirement? Seems their definition of comfortable must include a lot of expensive holidays.

Maybe she should buy twitter and ban the guy, or is this the wrong billionaire I am thinking of?

Hogwarts is fun for about 30 hours roleplaying as a wizard, as a casual potter fan. I got really bored of it after that and never finished the game. At its core it really is very generic, it’s really propped up by the IP. That’s not to say it’s bad by any means but its not got the depth of Zelda.

Exactly lol. He is really going to let his campaign die over not taking his boots off? It’s quite obviously true and he can go in the high heel club with Trump and Putin.

House prices are going down. Just not by as much as many expect because ultimately there is still a housing shortage I guess. Also inflation is perhaps offsetting the actual drop in figures but technically is lowering prices too.

Not for me sadly.

I mean 10gb/s is already like 20x more than you would need for that and probably more.

Having near 50gb/s is like, the bandwidth of an entire university campus going into your phone or something. Like just so overkill. You could stream 4K netflix over 3000 times over literally. Like, what could the use for that ever be? You couldn’t even write or store that much data on your phone lol.

It’s like saying you are disappointed because your new car is speed restricted to 50000 mph. Like…cool? It ain’t gonna reach that so we’re fine.

Which is why I asked if it had other benefits like better range or something, presumably that would be the benefit to be hyped over if any.

I mean, if speed is the only reason to upgrade what would be the point? A phone can never make use of 6E speeds it’s entirely pointless to have even faster.

Are there some other benefits it’s missing out on?

Honestly though by the time wifi 7 is out in the world enough to be utilised the majority of Pixel 8 phones will be on the scrapheap.
