Yup, ≠ is right “under” =. As is ≈.
Only if you’ve not paid attention... There have been AI models for identifying object in images/video for use in home automation/security for quite a while, just to name one. AI models that “learn” habits to curb power usage (though admittedly most implementations of this are dogshit.)
There are plenty of legitimately useful applications for AI models, shoehorning an LLM into everything and anything is just the most visible because it’s what every tech company and their brother is doing.
These are explicitly mini expansions, so… yeah.
Reached out to EA to see if I could get my key transferred over. The answer was no, of course. But it’s still annoying that I get less for having bought sooner on their platform rather than waiting for it to be available on Steam.
Source on the legality change? I’ve never heard about a law that would apply to this.
While I agree with you, there are infrastructure issues if you try to transport that much energy across the country. Current infrastructure pretty much demands you have your power source be within a certain range (the range varies depending on available infrastructure.)
The obvious solution is to build out infrastructure alongside solar farms, but that’s a whole other beast to manage.
Fair, but that’ll usually be a “fuck no” on their part, not a forced yes.
That said, if your enterprise policies are going to enforce this, they already have something worse enforced as well such as screenshots being uploaded to a centralized database every x minutes. (I’ve personally experienced this.)
People never think these ideas through to the end. They are thrown out as emotional outlets, ignoring the fact that more pain would be caused.
Decades of history exists in M$ not stopping users from modifying their systems however the hell they want. Your argument against that is “they might eventually.”
How exactly is TPM requirement at all related to cloud anything? They absolutely aren’t moving to cloud dependency, the closest anyone has heard on that is them moving certain enterprise options to subscription, and rumors from unreliable sources. Again, your argument boils down to “they might eventually.”
And what does their current install disk space have to do with anything? 20 gigs for an install is leaps and bounds different than an extra 50+ gigs being used out of nowhere.
Doesn’t matter, there’s a snowballs chance in hell Valve will sell.
You can literally kill off anything in windows, albeit with some effort in certain cases. Right down to their telemetry services everyone hates.
Beyond that though, such a system would be quite a lot of load on the hardware running it. In fact, many low end hardware combinations that support 11 likely won’t be able to support such a feature. Not including an off button would be silly. In fact, not making it opt in, similar to gaming clip systems, would be a terrible idea.
Comparing it to a locked down OS with a cloud service tie in I’d like comparing oranges to cars. All signs point to this feature being fully local. What are they going to do, hide gigabytes of video from you just to waste space?

Step 1: Understand all forms of DRM
Step 2: Deep dive on the game at a technical level
Step 3: Make a decision
Some people can’t even manage step 3 effectively, and you expect them to follow through with steps 1 and 2?
Not to mention “Dad can I have [game] I really really want it, it looks so fun and it’s all I want for my birthday” “Sorry Billy, but that game is anti consumer and locked into an always online DRM system, and I’m just not willing to support that.”
Like, c’mon. That’s just not how the world works, and we’ve known that for decades. That’s why consumer protection agencies exist.
