For those not reading the story, which appears to be many, the company that services the implant went bankrupt. The implant was experimental. There exists no one to service it any longer. It will pose a health risk down the road without someone servicing it.
The story doesn't directly say that's why it had to be removed (and she talks about wanting to buy it). I found another source that explains that the device came with a three-year battery life.
More like Deadwolf at this point...
Given that there’s plenty of PCs out there with lower spec than the S
Not when it comes to memory. The Xbox SS only has 10GB combined system memory and VRAM. The PC version of BG3 requires 8GB system memory plus 4GB of VRAM, so the SS is a couple gigabytes short in total.
Going by the Steam hardware survey, 95% of PCs have at least 8GB of system memory, with 16GB being easily the most common amount. 80% have at least 4GB of VRAM, with 8GB being the most common amount.
They weren't normally on the same network, but were accidentally put on the same network during migration.
Just in case BG3 didn't illustrate the downfall of Bioware vividly enough, they go ahead and do this.
Stellaris is far from the worst offender, and yet you're still entirely right.
Just call up Linustechtips and ask to collab on a zetabyte project. Probably get the storage drives for free, right?

Moreover, killing Youtube will be harder than killing any of these social media. Serving video content is very expensive.
Ads are making a comeback on streaming services. Not only Youtube, which is now getting more serious about blocking ad-blockers, but even on paid streaming. Netflix has an ad supported tier, Amazon runs ads for its own stuff (so far)...
I mean, even the Skyrim disc for PC just ran a script to download it via Steam. This has been coming for a long time.
That is generally true, with exceptions like leaking someone else's private information.
But it implicates the adjacent "right to be forgotten" rather than narrowly defined "privacy". This could be a real legal issue in the EU.
Baldur's Gate 3 comes to mind. It was announced in 2002 and launched in 2023. They even had to cut all the content about black hounds.
