You questioned why it exists while knowing the reason why it exists and pretending it doesn’t exist.

What product are you using to get that data from a live Azure database?

YouTube pays people by the amount of views they get on their videos. It thinks you’re a bot used to farm views. The fact that you always nope out when it asks you to prove your not a bot makes them think you definitely are a bot.

That’s a different story. You said that up until a year ago paid products didn’t have ads. That’s demonstrably false, we have decades of evidence to prove so.

So no proof, gotcha. Why didn’t you share the ban message which specifically shows the comment that got you banned?

Don’t worry, I know why.

How is that so hard to understand? How can one not grasp such a simple thing

The irony of this is just incredible.

Their revenues are all included in Xbox’s revenue lol. Have you ever even read one of Microsoft’s earnings reports? Doesn’t look like it. If there was a “confidently incorrect” community on here your comments would be pinned to the top lol

Now that Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo have all published their holiday earnings reports, we can compile the data and get a total sum for the entire year. According to data provided by the companies and analyzed by TweakTown, gaming's Big 3 generated over $60 billion in combined annual revenues.

PlayStation leads the charge with a staggering $30.12 billion made during the year.

Microsoft is firmly in second place as Xbox tallies up to a mighty $18.128 billion. This of course includes Activision Blizzard King revenues as a result of the ABK acquisition. Xbox gaming revenues increased by 16.5% in 2023, compared to $15.563 billion in 2022. This is an increase of $2.56 billion, most of which was from the recognition of Activision's revenues.

Show me ONE source showing that Xbox makes more revenue than PlayStation. Just one.

It’s not my bad. You didn’t say you were being asked to sign in because of your suspicious activity lol. That changes everything.

A spreadsheet? No, sales go through the database. That was also just an example. You could ask it to see which state has the most sales of product X between dates Y and Z for customers between age 18 and 25, as another example. You can ask it anything you can think of to do with the data.

It’s basically a reporting engine that can create ad-hoc reports at will.

It’s a lot easier to write a prompt for a report than it is to query the database, especially when you don’t know SQL etc - or even have access to the database.

I tell people things that what they’re saying is wrong when it is wrong.

All you had to say was that it thinks you’re a bot, and then this whole thing could have been avoided. Which vpn are you using?

Cable tv has literally had ads for decades. Magazines have had ads for as long as they existed.

What world have you been living in?

 

This is my first time using ArkOS - are there any settings changes that people always make first when setting up a device with it? What GUI do you like? Can you download different ones?

I've recently moved from using my PC to emulate retro games to a R36S (game boy style but with 2 analogue sticks as well) handheld and have fallen in love with having them in a portable device.

I'm looking at purchasing a bigger and much newer and more powerful device so was looking for advice on things like what the pros and cons of some popular devices are, what OS people prefer, what emulators people use, etc. My R36S is running ArkOS which is ok.

I'm thinking a clamshell device would be nice, but a Switch-style would be fine as long as the controls aren't too snug. As close to "full size" analogue sticks would be ideal too, I hate and can't get used to tiny ones like on this R36S or sliders like on the 3DS.

Don't really have a set budget. Would like to be able to emulate up to and including Wii U via Dolphin if possible, but I know that's pushing it. PS2 or DC level would be acceptable too. Alternatively a really good "up to and including PS1" device would be an option.

Some that I've seen that look good:

  • Retroid Flip 2

  • Anbernic RG556 (I think the 557 isn't getting very good reviews)

  • Retroid Pocket 5

  • Anbernic RG Arc (because the Megadrive 6 button controller is the GOAT of the 8/16 bit generations.

  • Anbernic RG CubeXX

 

X has received executive orders from the Indian government requiring X to block over 8,000 accounts in India, subject to potential penalties including significant fines and imprisonment of the company’s local employees. The orders include demands to block access in India to accounts belonging to international news organizations and prominent X users.

X is exploring all possible legal avenues available to the company. Unlike users located in India, X is restricted by Indian law in its ability to bring legal challenges against these executive orders. However, we encourage all users who are impacted by these blocking orders to seek appropriate relief from the courts.
