I’d say they just didn’t go touchscreen in time I remember a friend having the first iPhone and another had a Nokia n95 The N95 was way ahead in features and technology but people wowed over the Apple screen…

PSP is probably the best thing Sony ever made even considering the Walkman when they were a a+ Company. Psp has some super gems the sad fact is the Vita could have easily been even bigger if Sony themselves didn’t jump through hoops sabotaging the thing.

The things they did that ruined it was using their own very bad card that barely lasted 6 months over microsd and they gave all the big title game releases to absolute garbage company’s like Nihilistic who have now renamed themselves several times because they make pure trash so they have to .

I’m also pretty bitter over their top of the range Bluetooth speaker which for me began switching between bass mode and treble mode every two seconds straight after the warranty I mean maybe two days after . The fault make no sense at all if it was the button there would be a normal mode in there and I’d barely used the thing at all I’d used it maybe 6 tines. So to me that’s the killer how could such a fault happen if it wasn’t designed to.

I mean if the fault made any real sense I would have bought it but it was ridiculous and then I started reading about the Sony kill switch etc.

Yeah their phones do generally still do things like microsds etc which is very nice I also like the psp but I’ve bought so many Sony products that develop weird faults straight after the warranty and the fact they alway push propriety cards etc.

Its a weird company where divisions seem to actively sabotage each other I just don’t trust them at all.

I find it kinda funny Sony tried so hard to own the standard so many times thought they eventually got it but then the Internet made it irrelavent almost instantly.

I don’t like Sony.

I bought an expensive Samsung microwave thinking it would outlast the cheaper ones. The thing actually started to rust in the first few months something not even the cheapest microwaves have done on me.

Last Samsung appliance I’ll ever buy luckily I’m in the UK and got my money back.

All I want from an Os is to launch my programs of choice and not suck up my battery running unnecessary junk I couldn’t care less about.

I remember being downvoted heavily on Reddit when I called this stupid mostly down to how limited it is and the silly subscription.

Kinda hoping now all those downvoters purchased one because they deserve it.

Call me skeptical I guess but if you wanted a phone that worked as long as lithium say 5000mah using capacitors I think it would be a dozen times larger at least.

Maybe I’ve got it wrong and supercapacitors hold more energy or something like that.

I’d be more suspicious of the router manufacturer or even a disgruntled worker there than anyone else to be honest. An actual hacker I think would be more motivated to turn them into a botnet or similar.

Can’t think of why someone would want to brick them without another motive but I could be wrong.

And I was blown away the ps1 game Vagrant Story turned Into 90mb file as a chd.

That said one of the games I enjoyed most even when I had an Amiga was a 48k ZX Spectrum game called Chaos.

It’s a bit too restrictive by default imo, good for privacy but you will need to change quite a few setting if you want to browse normally.

Despite my opinion it’s the browser I use most on my laptop.

Pretty much everything AI is a scam, I mean it has its uses but isn’t exactly as claimed yet. Pretty much every non phone AI gadget I’ve seen so far definetly is a scam.

I’ve actually been watching this guy for a while, it’s interesting his homemade rc stuff etc.

Could be I just can’t get over the timing of echolon suddenly being called over and Google appearing almost instantly

That said I still use Google just don’t trust it really I’ve always felt it was an intelligence company in truth and probably the echelons replacement.

Google’s a dumb ass company and I strongly suspect them to be Americas replacement to the echolon program mainly due to the timing.

Seems profits getting a bit more relevant than intelligence to them these days.

Yeah I’d rather go without YouTube than deal with the ads at this point they went ridiculous with it a long time ago.

Yeah now I’m never buying a roku I think when amazon eventually manages to wreck my cube (which they really seem to be trying to) I’ll have to try something like a raspberry pi or maybe a small ryzen card.

I’m really not sure but The one thing I’ve decided is to take it out of another company’s hands.

Hps one of only two companies that will never get a penny from me again. I had an HP desktop that the power supply died on at the beginning of Covid only then did I realise it was propriety and they didn’t even have it in stock.

Kept checking for about a year and couldn’t get a replacement when every other computer I’ve ever owned I could have bought a power supply the same damn day.

For the record the other company is Sony who just decided to delete my account with a lot of paid games because I hadn’t logged in for about 6 months.

Leave Proton alone ffs, without them I would have my Internet seriously limited by default by UK isps and the moronic Government that just wants everything to be it’s own propaganda.

Blokada overrides the dns to its own and even then I don’t see how dns is at all relevant because it blocks the update server from being connected with.

Well mine didn’t update at all until I manually added the servers from amazon it was blocking by default.

So I kind of assume taking them off again is a temporary solution. That said I can’t guarantee they haven’t changed anything since then and I might wake up to a worse fire cube sometime.
