  • Obviously it is concerning. We have just been given a window of a glimpse as to what would happen if one service in which so many things rely on, gets messed up. Like today I was having trouble logging into my bank because guess what, they rely on CloudFlare.

    I’ve read individuals relying on services provided by CloudFlare, their processes were interrupted.

    I know that CloudFlare has a purpose and its purpose is being served, but there’s a reason why people love and should embrace the idea of multiple alternatives and hate monopolies.

    It would be like, if Comcast as an ISP has a blackout, do you know how many subscribers they have? Some people in certain areas are all that they have so the blackout would knock them offline for however long. That’s why alternatives are important.
















  • 4K is just another dumb marketing jargon to make people think something is better than what we currently have.

    I always bring up the argument of transitioning from VHS to DVD, there were vast improvements there in terms of quality. DVD is still around, why? Because it just does good enough and that’s what all anyone can ask for. Blu-Ray is incredibly old now and eventually will take DVD’s spot someday as the ‘good enough’ standard because really streaming is dependent on internet connection speed which can vary the quality which exits itself out of the argument.

    And with every gaming generation that comes and goes, it has become harder and harder to notice any groundbreaking differences. It began to get harder when we went from PS3 - PS4 for example. It is now all about just resolutions and nothing else.



  • So the engineer state that it can run ‘all games of the market’. Okay, cool, but at what kind of settings?

    Like, it undermines the expectations of what one has when it comes to approaching the idea of having a PC to run games they want to see run flawlessly. I have been there before where I was not satisfied running games at Medium, hell, I wasn’t satisfied when I ran some games at even High. My targeted goal of building a machine, is if it can run at least 90% of games that I throw at it, with optimum performance. Suffice to say, I think I’ve achieved that.

    If someone gets a Steam Machine and find that it cannot run that particular game someone buys the Steam Machine for at their preference, you’re going to see refunds flying around.

    The Steam Machine development should’ve never went in with the concept of “just run games”, they should’ve went in with the concept of “run games and run them well”.
