actually the Japanese seem to be moving over to xbox now due to Sony's recent fuckery with censorship of anime games (while ironically allowing hardcore gay buttsex in The last of us 2).
All this shit is because Sony HQ moved to california and is no longer in japan. So as usual blame Cali
XBox does this already and has been doing this for this whole generation. It only gets used when someone reports it and they have to go back and "research". It's all bullshit
I’ve seen this around and it’s not entirely true. It says you can be recorded by the party owner and that information can be shared with Sony in a report by that individual.
If you think what counts as abuse to be reported isn't going to be part of the greater mercurial set of Whatever Democrats Think You Shouldn't Be Allowed To Say This Week, I have a beautiful collection of bridges to sell you.
Anyway, Sony consoles are lousy/good (in that order); their success with 2/4 made them complacent, consequently, 5 will be 3 all over again. Skip it.
No, not what I’m saying. I’m saying that “Sony is recording everything you say in a party” is incorrect. We correct misinformation around here when we can.
And Amazon and Apple aren't recording everything you say with Alexa and Siri, respectively, except they are, and have already been caught having done so.
When a PS5 "report" lets moderators hear the previous five minutes of conversation, where do you think that's coming from, a Time Machine? It's recording everything, all the time, by definition. The notion is that it's only keeping the last five minutes, but you have much more faith than I do in technology companies based on the last decade to think that constant recording won't be abused badly.
People forget so quickly that the abuse a technocracy can heap on you is limited only by what is possible, rather than vague notions of what is "right" or legal. When you have an IOT device in your house with a microphone (and chips with NSA and CCP hardware backdoors competing with each other to phone home first), please don't be so naive as to pretend that what the companies say they're doing with those devices bears resemblance to the reality of what they can and will do, because they are able and it is advantageous to them--or someone else--to do so.
How easy is it to set up a pi-hole? I've been thinking about doing it but not sure if it's worth the time. If it's fairly easy then I think I'll do it when I have some downtime myself.
XBox does this already and has been doing this for this whole generation. It only gets used when someone reports it and they have to go back and "research". It's all bullshit
Don't trust Microsoft. Their founder is and has always been a big 'C' Communist. When the time comes this stuff will be used and by that time, there will be no recourse.
Sounds like Sony should be perfectly happy if someone burned down their HQ. It can be rebuilt, after all. Surely, a single building is less valuable than a whole city, too. So, one could say it would in fact be more acceptable to burn Sony down because it would take a lot less to rebuild.
Imagine if all their warehouses full of ps5s and their other products were destroyed. Millions and millions of dollars in damage. And a few of the executive's houses were defaced, and maybe even a few of those execs shot to death by BLM supporters (though even without the deaths they'd be crying.)
People who run these twitter account are stupid whamen 30 year old communications majors. They dont know shit but still have been given too much power.
The meak have inherited the earth and there will be very much pain
Have a complete Sony ban on any and all electronics. Nail in the coffin was when they updated the firmware removing linux boot back in 2010 or 2011 can't remember exactly when that was. Plus all the db hacks and security nightmares way back shill cuck company.
Same. Although I'll admit I did buy a PS3 for the specific purpose of jailbreaking it, as soon as that became possible shortly after/in retaliation to the linux removal fiasco.
What really sealed the deal for me was the discovery (after PS3 jailbreaking became a thing) of how much personal/private info every PS3 was sending back to Sony, things that they never publicly disclosed. Unfortunately this is a common practice nowadays with big tech companies, but at the time this was a big step over the line.
SO fucking stupid that they bundle all the reactions into one thing. So the smoothbrains think they are part of the crowd no matter how they react. HATE social media
Why is it always that same condescending tone.
Can the small businesses that were destroyed rebuild, no, insurance didn't cover everything.
Can cities that were deeply indebted already rebuild without some magic supply of money, no.
Can large corps buy into cities for low prices, yes.
Fucking Shit bulls.
Worse. Sony is enacting a though-police functionality.
I'm getting an Atari VCS (duh, check my name) and enjoying my Steam games unmolested by wokeness. I can do anything with the VCS I want - even put on 'gasp' white male patriarchy games!
I had it ad-blocked. Didn't know it was still there. That's pretty funny.
That's France. They didn't get the word on what BLM actually 'is'. They're also slow to update the website - since they're a small group. That said, they're not sending them any money either - all the money has been to the console production to the exclusion of previous vendors who fell on their face with the initial design (good thing too).
It's just the usual corporate bandwagon nonsense. But where Atari isn't sending money - other companies sent those terrorists (and the DNC) billions.
Getting rid of boobs was Sony's dumbest move. It used to be Nintendo was the ones who censored games and Playstation was more free. Now it's the other way around. Thanks Anita.
I've been a huge Sony fan boy since I was little. My dad has always worked for a distributor if their product, I've always had a playstation and a sony tv. Being a Japanese company, you can always feel good about supporting them.
This is tough to see. No doubt it is their North America division. Still, wish Tokyo would put their foot down.
No doubt it is their North America division. Still, wish Tokyo would put their foot down.
Don't forget they have moved their Playstation headquarters to California, so they can better adapt to American puritanical SJW values. They have already started banning certain type of content - independent Japanese developers have said their next titles won't be on PS5 due to edits being required.
Ugh, is Steam based? I have a PS4 and Sony NC headphones. I like both very much, but maybe no more Sony products if this is what they do. I was sad to see how woke Patagonia is when I was browsing their website yesterday. They make good windbreakers. I can understand Patagonia being woke with the customers I have seen in their store, but Sony being woke? Only reason that they might care to be woke is because they are in the film business as well as electronics.
What about the people that have died in the riots? Go further, how many people have lost their lives work from their businesses burning down. They don’t care about people at all. They are just virtue signaling to make a buck and it is sickening. Remember when you didn’t have to look at a company’s political record before making a purchase?
Cities can rebuilt.....? hmm, anyone see if Detroit recovered from the riots in the 1960's yet? Has anyone heard of Watts since the riots? How is South Central LA doing?
Without the distractions of sports that we watch and video games that we play we will be more resourceful with our time. We don't need to watch movies as most of them are fiction and if based on historical accounts is exaggerated. Life is much more fruitful on the other side. I have taken up wood carving and metalwork and have become proficient in it ever since I stopped wasting half my weekend on football since 2016.
Don't forget the fact that you will be recorded while using the voice on playstations, and they will monitor it for bad words...
What? I didn’t know that. Fuck em.
Oh yeah. Not a good thing in the Sony world
actually the Japanese seem to be moving over to xbox now due to Sony's recent fuckery with censorship of anime games (while ironically allowing hardcore gay buttsex in The last of us 2).

Sony actually has their HQ in Cali now
Uhhh... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony
Uhhh... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony
I only read news in Japanese. That is until I joined .win .
It’s not the japs, it’s Sony America. I doubt Sony Japan even knows this fuckery is going on.
XBox does this already and has been doing this for this whole generation. It only gets used when someone reports it and they have to go back and "research". It's all bullshit
Yeah the new 8.0 io update
I’ve seen this around and it’s not entirely true. It says you can be recorded by the party owner and that information can be shared with Sony in a report by that individual.
And the CIA isn't spying on us either =). Alexa totally only listens for key words and not everything.
Amazon can assure you that Alexa is not a wiretap. Now check out this killer price on an LG TV with Alexa built in!
At least they tell you they are recording. We willfully allow our other devices to record us while we pretend that they aren't recording.
Still.. Recording private conversations is an invasion of privacy. That's a no-go.
Yeah I don’t like it but they’re not just recording everything.

And that off button on your 1984 monitor really works!
Setup a pi-hole. I did yesterday and found my Samsung tv was trying to phone home twice per second. I disconnected that shit.
How easy is it to set up a pi-hole? I've been thinking about doing it but not sure if it's worth the time. If it's fairly easy then I think I'll do it when I have some downtime myself.
Super easy. Get raspbian on it. Setup ssh. After that setting up pi-hole is easy.
Pi-hole? I'm in high-tech but can't keep up with everything. I've used ethereal and it's relatives.
It filters dns queries. You can have filter your whole house. Block ads, telemetry, malware sites. Quite helpful!
I came here to say this. Fuck Sony. They´ll record you saying something they deem wrongthink and delete your game library.
XBox does this already and has been doing this for this whole generation. It only gets used when someone reports it and they have to go back and "research". It's all bullshit

they'd probably be fine with it. they are a massive corp with insurance
Insurance won't pay if you keep asking people to burn you down.
And then planted a sign that said "Buildings can be rebuilt, Sony"
You didn't rebuilt that!
Sounds like their manufacturing facilities should be no problem to rebuild too. Fuck their corporate offices. Factories are more effective.
Makes sense to me. I hope someone tests out this hypothesis
Imagine if all their warehouses full of ps5s and their other products were destroyed. Millions and millions of dollars in damage. And a few of the executive's houses were defaced, and maybe even a few of those execs shot to death by BLM supporters (though even without the deaths they'd be crying.)
"Oh but companies can rebuild, Sony."
People who run these twitter account are stupid whamen 30 year old communications majors. They dont know shit but still have been given too much power. The meak have inherited the earth and there will be very much pain
They just released a BLM theme for PS4, they're in deep with the woke BS.
Haven't owned a Sony System since the PS2.
Have a complete Sony ban on any and all electronics. Nail in the coffin was when they updated the firmware removing linux boot back in 2010 or 2011 can't remember exactly when that was. Plus all the db hacks and security nightmares way back shill cuck company.

Unfortunately this is a common practice nowadays with big tech companies, but at the time this was a big step over the line.
Same. I went PS1 - PS2 - 360 - XB1 - XB1 again because the first one broke - Series X.
I remember I didn’t get XB1 because it was going to be “always listening” while the PS4 wasn’t.
If I recall, this cost Microsoft a chuck of lost sales
That’s accurate. But after Don Fucktrick was fired and Phil Spencer was promoted, they completely backtracked.
They backtracked on a ton of stuff gamers were furious about like mandatory Kinect and digital only games (which was just ahead of its time).
I went from PS2 - PS3 - PC forever
Sega genesis to PC forever. Based since 96.
Yep, and even my PS2 was second hand
SO fucking stupid that they bundle all the reactions into one thing. So the smoothbrains think they are part of the crowd no matter how they react. HATE social media

vote with your wallets, my pedes.
if these companies are not begging for your money. they are failing.
gillette had to write-down/off 4-6Billion USD for their wokeness?
my sides.
let this be a reminder that the young generation is now the
most conservative (in the US) young generation since the depression.
they think these kids are going to grow up playing madden on their consoles?
my sides.
this is the death knell of many MANY industries that were woke-broke
long before people moved to never give them another cent.
i for one, am GLAD when they show their hand.
pedes should just shift entertainment funds to books, guns and canned food.
Goya is up, NBA is down. Pedes have powerful wallets 👌😎

The winds of shit .... Randy
Great! Let's start with Sony headquarters then. We'll come burn it down this Friday, or does next week work better for you guys?
It's only property. They probably have insurance.
No more Sony TVs for me. I'll just stick with Samsung everything, fuck it.
Woo Samsung gang!
Pssh, consoomer...build your own spynet with ai embedded technologiez.
I have no clue what you are talking about.

WITH BOOBS!
The new Atari looks promising. Unfortunately they are promoting BLM and link to a donations page.
I had it ad-blocked. Didn't know it was still there. That's pretty funny.
That's France. They didn't get the word on what BLM actually 'is'. They're also slow to update the website - since they're a small group.

This is what happens when you hire libtards
companies need to purge their HR departments
There is a BLM cancer cell high up within Sony.
Is this new or from the original dumb shit they were posting back in July?
Get a pc. Screw consoles.

PC MASTER RACE
Sony recently released a Black Lives Matter wallpaper for the PS4
Here's the tweet: https://twitter.com/PlayStation/status/1318212838104666115
Pc gaming is and has always been where it's at
I was planning to buy a PS5 until The Last of Us Two came out with its genderfluid trash. Miss me with that ish!
I think it's the Feds talking through Sony.
No Sony Shareholder would openly take a political side and risk losing money.
I've been a huge Sony fan boy since I was little. My dad has always worked for a distributor if their product, I've always had a playstation and a sony tv. Being a Japanese company, you can always feel good about supporting them.

They have already started banning certain type of content - independent Japanese developers have said their next titles won't be on PS5 due to edits being required.
I used to like Sony, but it's over.
This is what happens when the hq moves from Japan to California. They are also losing market share In japan for censoring games. Fuck sony.

I don't think they're based, but they didn't cave to the demands to put the BLM slogan in their software either. A bunch of indie devs pulled their games from Steam because they wouldn't cave to the mob: https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2020-06-16-developers-remove-games-from-steam-over-valves-black-lives-matter-silence
Steam it is, then.
Browse steam for games you want, add them to your wishlis,t and purchase them during steam sales, you can save a lot of money fren!
Liberal teenagers/adults suck cock
Conservative teenagers/men play video games
What makes Sony think this is a good idea? Do they really think libtards will buy their products.
No way a company like this is THIS dumb. This might be a result of a diversity hire here in the US, as this wont fly anywhere else
