Yeah, and then there are many enterprises that still use XP (edge case, but it may be well hundreds of thousands worldwide still) or Win 7 (possible millions of companies). It is not all smooth sailing in enterprise level either, many companies are upgrade averse, and if the stuff works, then why upgrade it.
From business standpoint, it simply bleeds you potential profits. If tens of percents skimp on two of your OS iterations in a row and keep windows 10 (which most of were “free” upgrades from Win 7 to begin with) then you are losing lot of revenue in a long run. I got the original win 10 upgrade in 2015 (bought win 7 in 2011) , in 2020 build a new PC and still use that licence on it.I possibly see myself using Win 10 well into 2026/2027 when my PC is due for complete replacement. So that is over 15 years period where MS saw no money from me while I still use completely legal version of OS. If there was no TPM requirement, I would probabably already be on Win 11
Yeah, teh real cost of the car is around 1200$, so if it costs more than 300$ it goes straight to junk yard
You could say this meme hits really hard
If I had a penny for every “this new stuff will never work” or "this new stuff will never take off "and then it did, I could probably afford nice dinner.
And you have vastly overestimated how much people want to see your pussy. And even more overstimated how many want it for money. Soon if you post your pussy somewhere once, they will just make hundreds of pussy shots without you
Personalities of models. Lol, that is some niche market my dude. Never watched a porn a said to myself “wow, I really like her personality”. It’s just smut to beat my meat to, nothing more, nothing less.
In the dystopian future I propose, you can make any kind of porn and have anyone star in it. Your hot neighbor? Gotcha! The pornstar you masturbated to 20 years ago when she was young in her glory days and now is old and saggy after 5 kids? Gotcha! Rapsutin?..errr…gotcha!
You can even dream perfect personality for that pornstar if that is your thing. There is nothing that cannot be synthesized anymore. You can even dream up years of her backstory and have her post daily updates live aka “onlyfans”.
Sure, authencity will be left to slowly bleed out on pavement, but majority of people will step over it on their way to perfect synthesized reality they always wanted
It may all sound doom and gloom, but that future is fast approcahing by mile steps and it will be here sooner than later and lot sooner than many people realize or even want to admit it, because to lot of people that kind of future is unimaginable and scary as fuck. But you cannot stop the progress, that train already left the station.
There are basically two camps: Ones that fear the synthetization and digitalization of our lives will happen and then the other that embraces it.

“Hipster porn”, lol get that term patented asap, it may be really catchy phrase in next few years. What times we live in, rofl
I think even the “handcrafted” experience will become redundant in couple of years. Give it text prompt, give it source image, and it will generate everything up to a tiny detail to a spec in text prompt.
Yeah, but then we are risking having motorsport WWE
Fallout 4 biggest issue was that it was just Skyrim with guns. And releasing 4 years after Skyrim, most people already felt the Skyrim fatigue by that time, me included. Starfield has at least that advantage it is not looking like carbon copy of Fallout/Skyrim formula, after all, it is a space game foremost and that can pour some new life into bethesda game design.
There will be bugs. Lots of them. If there is no progress halting bug in the game someway halfway through the main quest, that will be miracle and I will question whether it is Bethesda game at all. All bethesda games are bugfests on release, but at least they give the community keys to the game and then we got unnoficial patches, that fix like thousands and thousands of bugs over time
New pocket dimensions, that are literally mini-rifts. New champion mods. Some class balance (mostly buffs to items) and Solo Self Found mode.
And here I am, wishing we could roll the dice manually by actually moving the mouse
Its bent only on the photo, did not notice it, because it is on forearm, irl its straight as spaghetti
If I was not using my PC for gaming also, I would probably say fuck them and be on Linux too. But gaming on Linux is cancer.
