  1. Hence why I use a secondary account where I have 70-90% off all games vs my currency + store all year round =) The day Steam really starts cracking down on Gift Cards and Accounts usage outside the store country is when I'll really start feeling the pain. Until then, my Turkish, Argentinian and Ukrainian cousins will keep sharing their games with me.
  2. So the only issue is Microsoft being able to use these titles through Cloud Instances? Why would that be such a massive point of denying the acquisition? Microsoft will still be able to sell these products in their XBox Live store and theoretically (if they hate money) outright no longer make these titles available in their competitor stores and platforms. Honestly I don't really care if Microsoft acquires Activision and all rights since I don't consume any of Activision's products, just trying to wrap my head around why Cloud Gaming is such a massive point of contention to go ahead with the purchase, yes I know that Sony gave a statement that more than half their playerbase primarily play Call of Duty, just don't know what Cloud Gaming has anything to do with that.
  3. - no fee return - free roaming inside EU - cable standardization like USB C - removal batteries which is supposedly going to be enforced in 2027-2030 - GDPR which even by today is still not followed by many corps which have consequently been fined due to it These are just 5 from the top of my head without looking it up, there are innumerous laws and regulations just in the EU Consumer side of things...don't know lad, you might be from France but like the other lad said, you seem clueless or just irrationally angry so you just flat-out say things without meaning them that are simply not true and extremely hyperbolic. And yes, I am too an EU citizen, which is a false appeal to authority anyways, don't need to be from the EU to know what they have done for their EU citizens...
  4. Why would Emby or Jellyfin get canceled if a part of its userbase uses it for nefarious actions? If that was the case Deluge and many others would had long been shutdown. EDIT: just read the whole spiel between you and LAwLz, which I basically subscribe to what he said.
  5. Why would it matter what Emby thinks? It is Open Source, do whatever you want with it. And if Emby is not your cup of cake you also have Jellyfin which is also a popular Open Source alternative to plex.
  6. I think the best way for you to get answers is to read what they have to say about their data: https://www.digitec.ch/de/wiki/6167 Often you get a replacement instantly, sometimes depending on the supplier you might wait a while, I had one instance where I had to wait for 2 weeks to replace a UPS since those were handled by an affiliate in Germany that represented their main branch in Spain (Salicru), so it took a while to get processed. Parsed it through ChatGPT (deepl asking for a sub lately for longer text): EDIT: Getting too late for me, I just realized that I replied to a very old post that probably already got addressed lol
  7. Nah everything you wrote is standard practice here in Switzerland, most of the people around the world underestimate the logistics and sheer purchase power of the average citizen here just because it is a small country not part of the EU. Pretty much every retailer that has their warehouses here delivers their shipment in a single day to all of Switzerland and Lichtenstein. RMAs are completed in about 1-2 days, often they don't even bother with repair, they will just outright give you credit worth the current market price of the product in their store, or ship you a replacement the same day. Second hand market (Ricardo) is a massive business here, most of the items I purchase, use and then sell there a couple years down the line get sold at around 90% market price, some even for more, latest sell being a Rowing Workout machine which I sold for profit after I didn't need it anymore due to lifting of covid restrictions. Swiss consumerism is massive, specially due to their huge purchase power, whatever latest product gets released, you can assume that at least a handful of Swiss already own it, I'm not boasting, just telling how it is. https://www.gfk.com/insights/map-of-the-month-gfk-purchasing-power-europe-2022
  8. Old news, dunno why Toms Hardware decided to now make an article about it, guess to parse the data after half a year of this being live? Here the original source when this first was introduced: https://www.galaxus.ch/de/page/gnadenlos-ehrlich-digitec-galaxus-zeigt-neu-die-garantiefall-und-retourenquote-25950
  9. Be damned if you do, be damned if you don't. I was one of the people criticizing LMG heavily, I even unsubbed way before GN made that video due to the reasons cited in there. What the hell did you actually want? Them preparing the answers and reading off a teleprompt is not bad, quite on the contrary, considering the size of the company and the passionate response from the community on Steve's video doing that was the correct move. A moronic step would be answering on the fly without any preparation and forethought, causing a trainwreck of the level of what Linus's first response was in this very topic.
  10. Wrong, it is always innocent until proven guilty, that point is obviously an if-else case, depending on how the Lawsuit develops one side or the other will win the public opinion, most recently see the lawsuit involving Amber Heard and Johnny Depp. If people draw conclusions of a court case before it is concluded, their opinion is automatically irrelevant and they should be disregarded for anything in any topic ever.
  11. Damn even in this thread the #1 LMG Sycophant is hard at work, to the point of even making sexist remarks too, based.
  12. Unfortunately been reading your replies while trying to reach the end of the thread which will never happen, each page I jump 2 new ones pop up. Advice, let the grown ups talk, based on your replies you're either too young, inexperienced/lack the knowledge or the absolute worse case you're a prime sample of the Dunning Kruger Effect. Dunno if hitting "Ignore" in your profile will spare me from more brain rot, probably not, hoped there was akin to a block function to never see someone's posts, don't take it personal, with time you'll look back to this and cringe, happens to all of us, happened to me too.
  13. Sorry Linus, but most of what you wrote as a response felt Corporate at best, not genuine. Quality of the videos when it comes to reviews, data and its consistency has fallen off a cliff, I unsubscribed to every single LMG channel except for LTT because of that months ago. As for the GN video, most of the points are valid and hopefully light up a fire under you guys to actually do things slower and more carefully, most importantly please put more time into a video to actually meet the standards you preach about products you test constantly, thank you.
  14. Meh, why not? I always welcome less cables, specially for parts that get swapped frequently, in a dream world scenario you buy a motherboard and you'll use that for several CPU generations, post installation the part you probably most frequently swap is the GPU, since that's the easiest performance uplift path. Most users, don't even use more than 600W off their GPU, and the likelihood is pretty high of manufacturers gambling on this adoption to extra ship an adapter that lets you use those GPUs on mobos that don't follow this new design... Haven't read on the technicalities but my biggest worries would be on the motherboard itself surging off that port for whatever reason and frying everything else with it.
