7th generation is retro. I’m sorry but the PS3 and 360 came out almost 20 years ago. The 360 is as old now as the NES was back then

Very noble of her to return that piece of history to where it belongs.

Oh good. 6.1 seems to fix the only bugs that have personally bothered me. I’m stoked!

Oh to be a fly on the wall in her office as she’s getting briefings on this

In the minds of these people, Hamas are baby murdering killers who must be stopped.

Casualties be damned.

She knows the cost. She doesn’t care.

If you want to inflict damage on yourself you can check the meltdown on patriots dot win. It’s funny and sad all at once.

I don’t think it’s an American prison.

Yeah it’s not ideal. I just don’t see a world where Microsoft will set people’s search engine to DuckDuckGo

Glad you had something useful and helpful to add to the discussion. Have you ever in your life heard of “playing devils advocate”? Read a book some time.

Imagine you have a computer that’s been compromised by malware. What do you think the search engine will be set to? Not Google, not Bing, probably some third party one that has ads and malware. Changing that to Bing would technically qualify as a repair.

They could easily improve this by just adding a list of common reputable search engines, and adding those to an allow list.

I’d just like for these things to be opt-in, not opt-out.

A non-profit can, in fact, profit, but it has specific rules on what it can do with those profits. Tax law is a rabbit hole and I don’t even wanna peer in

It seems like a profit-driven thing to me. Big piles of anonymized data are worth a pretty penny.

Importantly, if you have already opted out of sending data to Mozilla, this change will not affect you. It only sends data if you have the setting turned on. It takes just a few clicks to entirely disable it, and Mozilla deletes all record of your browser within 30 days from turning off this feature. If you’re worried about it, do it now, it’s just under Settings > Privacy & Security. Instructions are also linked in the blog post.

Because some gamers think windows would be better for this. And maybe a little bit of gamer brand loyalty

This isn’t news, it’s been ongoing for quite some time.

This isn’t a surprise but it’s good to see light shed on it

I mean I’m a senior engineer and I mostly handle escalations and high priority client issues, but my work is mostly break/fix

Honestly, my argument that new and old games are both good would be to point straight at the Ratchet & Clank series.

In my opinion, it’s only gotten better with time, and the latest entry in the Series from 2021 is genuinely one of the greatest games I’ve ever played. It’s modern, cutting-edge, requiring a PCIe Gen4 SSD and a DualSense controller for the best experience. It’s just fantastic. New games, even AAA games, can be great so long as the project is being led by people who know how to make good games.
