How would it, or any software for that matter determine a given request is malicious before it does something malicious?

That works out if you’re from Europe or somewhere else where using third party messaging apps is common but in the US we primarily use text messaging apps which don’t really support webm or avif

Apple only supports avif on paper and doesn’t actually support avif in iMessage in practice. It won’t display properly and they don’t care to fix it.

On the Android side Google Messages Doesn’t appear to support avif at all

Let me know when I can text one of these to someone

Problem is the medium people use to send GIFs to each other doesn’t support any alternatives

Wow the EU pulls ahead of the US in the competition to become the most comprehensive surveillance state

The U.S. as well

It sure is. I think your problem is you don’t know much a gaming PC costs, or much at all about hardware, so your only frame of reference is the Steam Machine, which is a small form factor pre-built machine with notoriously poor value for the money.

Care to show me this ps5 pro beating pc for $1000?

Here you go.

This dynamically changes with price, so for posterity this listing is $1,062

Literally the only thing the PS5 Pro beats out in this build is that it has DDR5 instead of DDR4 RAM, but even that in no way makes up for its shortcomings in other areas. The PS5 Pro’s GPU is close but doesn’t quite match the performance of the 9060 xt, and the PS5 Pro’s CPU is absolutely gimped next to the 5600x due its remarkably small cache and power limitations.

That a super low spec PC is twice the price of a PS5.

A PC that will outperform the PS5 Pro by a decent margin could be had for about $1000 today. An entry level gaming PC could be had for $700 or so.

The premium you pay for a PC over a PS5 is only 10-15% and that’s only because Sony sells them at a loss to recoup later in PSN subscriptions and online store purchases (This is why they’re killing physical media).

You’re saving 10-15% up front at the cost of being trapped on their platform forever and you’ll pay more over the life of it in PSN subscriptions unless you play single player only games.

That’s not true at all, but yes consoles will be a bit more expensive than comparable Consoles.

This isn’t even the first time these exact three companies have been caught doing this. Their executives even went to prison last time.

Do you have a source for that downward pressure? I’d like a little good news if it’s real lol

Hetzner just raised their VPS prices for the second time in two months, 300-400%. Not sure how much more of this I can bear lol

All physical objects degrade with time. Factory-pressed commercial discs like movies have an expected lifespan of 10-20 years assuming they’re stored properly at all times.

They would not end up with more money, they’d lose a whole heck of a lot just to make a point

730 million dollars and 9 years of prison time between 16 executives

You think they’d destroy their own companies as a threat?

Everything old is new again

You are spiraling further and further into abject insanity. Whatever meds are on you need to take them
