I don’t know whether they are idiots or just that they know most people are even bigger idiots

Shocking

I mean that’s the cynical view largely based on how conditions in mainly one particular country have developed sure, but it’s not philosophically what economics is about (which is allocating resources in a utility maximising way)

The Apple M processors are pretty good at this. My MacBook has no fan and it’s incredibly performant with all day battery and my Mac studio is basically inaudible apart from extreme load, and yet can encode video in sometimes seconds in davinci.

Amazing narrative that I’d fully recommend people play completely blind if possible

100%. I’ve thought the same thing before too, both my monitor and my TV spend most of their time sitting on a Mac desktop with menu bar and dock in exactly the same place. I have had the TV for almost a decade and the monitor for about 5 years without issue. There would be guaranteed burn in if either one of those panels was OLED. I’m pretty happy not to have to replace screens every couple of years thanks. If I was only using a screen for watching shows or movies then sure, an OLED with its contrast makes sense, but I don’t see how they can ever be recommended as monitors for anything other than casual use.

If you like anime style JRPGs then yes, otherwise not really.

Eh personally Deus Ex is one of my favourite games of all time but none of the subsequent games interested me because they were much less freeform. Unless Warren Spector decides to do one himself I don’t think the series has much value to older gamers like myself, and I suspect they’ve probably done the analysis to suggest that the mainstream audience will be better suited by whatever kind of thing is popular right now.

I’m not sure I understand this? Is this a reference to something?

BBC is publicly funded and generally wins to be factual so yes. The guardian and telegraph are good quality reporting but the guardian has extreme liberal bias and the telegraph has extreme conservative bias so you have to bear this in mind when drawing any conclusions. The Times is a bit more in the middle. All the tabloids like daily mail and the sun are trash for people with low literacy.
