@Rainbow Monkeys did you watch the E3 2018 conferences? Xbox bought 5 smaller companies so im guessing they are preparing for the next generation of consoles, so in the next gen they will give ps4 a proper challenge
Yeah PlayStation has gone a bit mad with their win this generation, the whole cross play controversy really made them look like dicks. Phil Spencer is pretty solid, i think the new console under his authority will be pretty damn good, will have to wait and see.
he had an amazing E3 presentation this year
I don't mind the keyboard and mouse support for a console, provided it's not proprietary. If anyone can get a cheap mouse and keyboard to play, then it should be just fine. It's the proprietary expensive ones that's an issue and lead to pay to win. Also the upgrades do bug me as well, what i liked about consoles especially for mp is that you know everyone is locked into the same settings, you know what you see your opponent sees. I've seen with pc how guys disable graphical features for cheap legal hacks lol like disabling shadows and grass etc. Console forced everyone into a state of equal opportunity and let the best skill win.
@Apollo I attended E3, just not the Microsoft keynote. I think acquiring those companies was a smart move. Next-generation consoles might even come with a streaming only console.
@Sheamus The death of consoles is upon us, maybe?
must have been amazing to sit among hundreds of people who are just as excited as you
consoles will only start seriously dying as soon as home pc's and pc's in general become more affordable
Consoles for streaming lol the infrastructure is not really present just yet, but definitely working towards it. They still haven't gone digital only yet, which i think is the goal for the next gen consoles.
@Apollo Yeah, but being my first time in the USA, alota shit went south for me. Plus being packed and the adrenaline pumping, I kept getting lost and spent the entire not eating. Honestly day one for me was an apocalypse. Getting to my hotel was a nightmare since I rented out a car and they driver on the left side, Lol I kept doing a mess of everything. But after a week I guess I was fine. But met some awesome people though.
Oh i thought you were from the US.
@Sheamus Thats true, considering the amount of bad internet a lot of people have in other parts of the globe. I honestly still think SA we're still good with internet, people have bad internet out there. So definitely not going to be a mainstream device though.
@Apollo Nope, Lol I'm from South Africa.
@Rainbow Monkeys maybe run a VM. With Linux or Windows on the MacBook?
@Meerkat_RSA Yep, I'll use the Boot Camp that comes with the MacBook.
Multi platform is always the best way to go. A PC can't edit as good as an MacBook. And a MacBook can't game like a PC.
Haiku OS released their first beta
btw
@Rainbow Monkeys Bootcamp is the way to go. Screw a VM and all that overhead.
any chance for a crypto channel?
GG @lonewolfza, you just advanced to level 4!
I forget the intrid command in bash
CNBC: Google will stop bundling its apps on Android phones in response to EU fine.

Yo AU, where you at? Europe did it. Come through for us✌.
I would like to decide what Google app i want. I don't need google music. I have JOOX. I don't need Google Office Suite. I have office 365(a school account).

First you got ShowMax for free. Now Joox VIP.
@Meerkat_RSA Yeah there are quite a number of people who prefer to use other music streaming platforms rather than G Play Music. I honestly only use it for the recommended music since it is using the Machine Learning feature.

Hook this up to a monitor and then you can watch TV legally with out a tv license
@Rainbow Monkeys still want the AU to order Google to unbundle apps? https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2018/10/google-to-charge-android-oems-as-much-as-40-per-phone-in-eu/?amp=1
@Meerkat_RSA Lol yeah definitely.
Apple is really starting to not make sense.

Who in their right mind would buy that. R 41 600 for that specs lol
your wallet will be thinner and your debt more powerful😂
I do like the new Ipad Pro they announced but still that price is a tough pill to sallow
