I could see the benefit on a non-phone mobile device. Completely cutting power as a deep sleep without needing a lengthy boot sequence could be nice.

Unless it's actually "just as fast" as volatile memory (including progress to the latter) and not more expensive, though, it seems like it wouldn't justify the tradeoffs.

I'm guessing they're the leagues they have some rights to. But even assuming they have it solved way before football season it dampens my interest a bunch.

No NFL? I don't care that it's the offseason. It dwarves every other US sport. Not having it to select day one is odd.

Edit: "yesterday" instead of "recent games" is just as weird.

I mostly don't play multiplayer, but some games just aren't the same single player.

Madden, for example, the AI just is too complex for them to handle it at a high enough level for the balanced but competitive strategy game football can be. All Madden is hard, but it's hard by cheating. Playing against humans is how you get the chess match. I'm sure there are various other genres focused on strategy that are similar. AI can beat advanced humans in clean games like chess or go, but probably not on a PS5 and not with messier strategy games.

If I put the over/under at 10x male pirate to female, are you taking the under?

The limitation of both was still way more the awful CPU and HDDs, though, neither of which they addressed much in the updated versions.

There's plenty of room to improve graphics. It won't make the PS5 obsolete, because the core CPU/SSD is what matters, but that doesn't mean they can't or won't make a better one.

I've definitely noticed the results suck ass, but this is a nice breakdown.

You should hate it as a manager. You're filtering out every single quality candidate because only a deranged nut job would even consider such an unhinged request. Submitting a video, in and of itself, proves they are not worth hiring.

You don't need to process every candidate. Just randomly take 5%, or 1%, or .001%, and do a real hiring process. Anything at all is better than requiring a video application.

That shouldn't work. They should still be unconditionally liable for anything the rep said in all scenarios, with the sole exception being obvious sabotage like "we'll give you a billion dollars to sign up" that the customer knows can't be real.

The scary part is presenting it as a fucking privacy feature with no consequences.

Your company requiring video submissions for a fucking application is the easiest "this company is batshit insane and there's no possibility working for them could ever be worth it" red flag I've ever seen.

I think what I'm eventually going to have to do is roll my own. I don't need crazy complexity, but I do want some features nothing seems to have. I want the bulk editing that's only on goodreads, and I really want series to be first class citizens. That means series nesting in other series and being able to have a blurb/rating for a series instead of each individual entry, mostly. I just haven't got to it yet.

I don't necessarily have to have the metadata all the public social network style tools use to combine everyone's input to one book object, though I definitely understand how it's frustrating for services to lose information when you import your lists. But organization tools are critical to me.
