Yep typical ratings are oriented relative to the “average” consumer. But no person is actually THE average.

It’s a useful place to find out if something totally sucks though. That’s how I use it. 60+? Probably good, at least for some audiences. Less than that? Only if you’re already hyped or a fan of whatever thing it’s related to.
Boost allows you filter keywords. It’s not a highlight option, but it’s a couple taps to paste the text you want to exclude.
Typing long form stuff on a smartphone sucks
Slappers only, no oddjob
Creepy guy got fired. Showed up the next day and confronted HR. Idk what went down but they had to call the cops.
Loved that book
Yeah if you need even 99.9% uptime, the most downtime you can accept in a year is eight hours.
I buy a short $5 indie game. I give it away afterwards digitally to a friend. The next guy does the same thing. And the next guy.
Now the developer has to primarily make money by selling merch or ingame ads. No thanks. If the game is good, people will buy it.
You could argue people did this with physical media. But it was not nearly as impactful; I couldn’t click a few buttons in seconds and hand the game away.
Alright who’s running the database on the same machine as the server…👀
It’s one of many things they could do just like how security is a layers thing.
They could inject random zero width non joiners to help detection too. Easy to defeat, but something a layperson would have to go through extra effort to filter out. Kinda like how some plagiarism cases have been won by pointing out identical misspelled words.
Well, you can always get archival M-DISC. https://www.mdisc.com/ Treated special materials to resist moisture and UV degradation. Should last 1000 years if not tampered with and stored properly. Idk what the read/write speeds are, but they offer a 100GB bluray disc option. You will be long, LONG gone before the storage is no longer intact. Obviously not “forever”, but pretty close to it practically speaking on human lifetime scale.
I mean, you could engrave onto stone and expect that to last pretty much forever if stored correctly. The read/write speed and storage capacity leave a lot to be desired though.
Doesn’t tape last a super, super long time? I thought that was of the reason for the resurgence of tape for archive storage.
Well, about half of that is probably salary. There are apparently 17,000 Reality Labs employees. If you assume the average salary is 100K or more, which is reasonable for tech jobs in high COL areas, you’re already looking at a couple billion after benefits that the company has to spend on headcount. The other spend is probably third-party contracts, hardware, etc.
Ooh, going to add bumgoblin to my repertoire
