Fuck I should have bought a switch
This can’t be real
it's not. he's doing the typical Ganker thing where he takes a headline, twists it around, and turns it into some kind of outrage porn to harvest (you)'s because he has shit fuck else to do with his time.
the real article just roughly says you can schedule maintenance/updates during offpeak hours.
it's optional
it doesn't shut your console down etc etc
all that said:
>yet

they said the same thing about horse armor
Thanks for the (you)s

proof that new Ganker users are nothing more than redditors

it's almost like the subhuman journos are putting blatantly false clickbait in all their """"articles"""" on purpose
It's an edited headline retard. Jesus Christ you're a sheep.
>"yeah journos are shit, nobody should believe them"
>continues to blindly believe every clickbait headline he reads
it's a thing where the consoles will schedule updates around "peak" hours for """renewable""" energy.

I actually bothered to read, all of the old options are still available, the carbon aware downloads is a new option offered it doesn't replace the regular download option. You aren't forced to do anything. The old/current sleep mode is still available as well.

No way man, it's totally real and exactly how OP worded it.
You really think someone would do that? Just go on the internet and tell lies?
>Force
Why would they need to? It has no games to turn on for.
>This can’t be real
it's definitely coming whether we like it or not. modern gaming systems use a lot of power.
The left in this country is leading the nation to mass suicide by not investing in electricity generation like nuclear. Wind and solar do not work (and this is on purpose).
>Forced
It's literally not.
They've just made power saving mode the default option. This thread and the article are both click-bait. have a nice day.
I'm sure the social democrats in nazi germany thought the same thing before their party was dissolved
Microsoft is preparing to comply with globohomo because they're coming for the entertainment boxes because the workhorses aren't marrying the 35 year old whores and making new slaves for the tax man. If they don't do this, their fun boxes would maybe get bent in the future.

>Essentially, the company is rolling out a power-saving feature that will allow a console linked to the internet to read local energy consumption data provided by the user’s nearest power grid. The console then uses that data to schedule Xbox updates and maintenance for times when the most renewable energy is available.
That sounds intrusive as fuck
They wanted an always-on and online Kinect with the One. They were only a couple years too early with it.
Do you think it doesn't already do that and more? This just creates a slightly more practical application for its data collection/monitoring.
It's already what Windows does.
Do you think YOU VILL OWN NOTHING is hyperbole? It's all control. They don't want you to be able to own a home or land. They want everything to be electric cars with self-driving capabilities because the there's no infrastructure to support it thus limiting your ability to move. They want to control what foods you eat and what entertainment, pleasures and luxuries you consume and how and they want it all done by 2030. All because the unrest, the populist and even leftist revolts of the second half of the 2010s, scared the shit out of the neoliberal ruling class that have been running the world for the last century since the end of World War I.
Just say "they tried to ban crossbows" next time, it'll save you a lot of keystrokes.

You don't do that already.

That's a Microsoft product, of course it is a spyware.

wow
just turn it off bro
Why would they allow that?
How about you remove DRM that causes unnecessary decryption and just serve shit unencrypted?
yeah, this only effects how the console handles updates and stuff while turned off, it's not going to turn off while you're playing a game or whatever
The brownouts will do that.
>brownouts
is that what they're calling mostly peaceful protests nowadays?
>it's just horse armor

Computing is cool and all but at some point you have to accept doing Chess by postal mail is the only way forward for multiplayer gaming with full privacy
For the layman, Intel ME is a blackbox rootkit embedded into all intel chipsets circa 2008. Disabling it will make your pc shit itself and cease to function. It has it's own stack and has been proven to be able to access the users traffic, files and metadata, run programs and diagnostics without your OS having any awareness of this occurring.
Intel has refused to release any documentation about it, even for peer-review under NDA. They insist it's not a backdoor for some criminal three-lettered government agency, but under the same breath will not provide any evidence to the contrary. You should look into The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) statements on ME, it really is some vile evil shit.
In other words, you absolutely need it goy, but no we will never tell you why and what it does, that's anti-semetic!
>In the context of criticism of the Intel ME and AMD Secure Technology it has been pointed out that the National Security Agency (NSA) budget request for 2013 contained a Sigint Enabling Project with the goal to "Insert vulnerabilities into commercial encryption systems, IT systems, …" and it has been conjectured that Intel ME and AMD Secure Technology might be part of that program.
Even that leaves a papertrail. I'm training my pidgeons right now and going to shit all over the WEF garden gnomes.
I'm going to play DnD with the other personalities in my head for maximum anti-semitism, so that some glowie with a laser can't just kill and intercept my pigeons in flight.

Is there a list of the games that don't run? Also, can you use the deck OS on any desktop hardware and with a desktop UI? Does Valve offer the deck OS as an LTS desktop distro?
No PS4 or last gen xbox emulator, xbox 360 support is coming with a vulkan translation layer in the works, anti-cheat on recent games is incompatible but not like they were worth playing. You can use protondb to look up what games work and possible tweaks needed to make them work.
Thanks.
>don't bother with HoloISO in particular if you have an Nvidia GPU
Unfortunate.
>missing out on the steam deck UI and easy gamescope management
I guess the steam deck UI just makes things more convenient for the deck but I don't think I would care about missing out on that while on desktop only. But then the "gamescope management" sounds actually technical and missing that could degrade my gaming experience. I mainly asked because I want all the (technical) bells and whistles that allow the deck to play so many games but on desktop. If Endeavour and Plasma offer similar game compatibility, I can look into them.
Endeavour is the distro, Plasma is the desktop environment (like Endeavour = Windows, KDE Plasma = Windows Explorer)
Steam deck uses KDE Plasma for the desktop mode.
Try it in a dual boot first by loading Endeavour on a separate hard drive, do not nuke your windows install, last thing I want is to see someone dive headfirst into linux, not be used to the new way of doing things, then going "ANONS BRICKED MY PC REEEE", also keep in mind with Endeavour in particular you want to use os-prober (an application that searches for other partitions) manually if you want GRUB (Your bootloader that lets you pick OSes on PC startup) to see your windows install. Be very, VERY fucking careful about where you install endeavour to, if you see occupied partitions, that probably means that's your windows hard drive, don't wipe it till you're confident you can spend time on linux and not need windows anymore, kinda like training wheels.
Thanks. Hopefully Valve releases official stuff one day so the less savvy users can make the switch.
>Is there a list of the games that don't run?
ProtonDB. Just assume that games with Anticheat won't work or alternatively check areweanticheatyet.com, and that single player games will, either out of the box or with minor tinkering.
>Also, can you use the deck OS on any desktop hardware and with a desktop UI
not yet but it's basically just immutable arch linux, if you want an equivalent just pick an LTS kernel for EndeavourOS or something
>Does Valve offer the deck OS as an LTS desktop distro?
no but there's an unofficial HoloISO
https://github.com/theVakhovskeIsTaken/holoiso
don't bother with HoloISO in particular if you have an Nvidia GPU btw, it won't work well. EndeavourOS + KDE Plasma will be fine but you're missing out on the steam deck UI and easy gamescope management.
>flatpack and containerization
You'd be surprised, but some people actually consider that a BAD thing.
>int(c)els
RISCV doesn't have this problem since there's no licensing. Nothing stopping private companies like Valve from making further products on RISCV once it develops or ever gets close to the performance/features of x86/ARM (not likely).
But then again, people often don't understand why things like contained sub-systems within CPU's are a worthy thing. Same for TPM or attestation capabilities.

Wdym yesterday I just play 13 hours and none of that shit happened
It's a PR statement for what essentially is just a sleep mode that laptops/desktops do already. It's being turned on by default now on consoles.
I never got why people would leave their consoles on 24/7 then wonder why they die so quickly.
Sleep mode is on Xbox since the xbone and playstation since ps4, why Gankereddit gets surprised?
Meant hibernate, sleep mode is there this us just hibernate.
Now I get it, a literally nothing burger, also people sometimes is full retarded to let their console 24/7 on, don't understand that.
Cause it’s peak Snoy hours
How is this any different from the already existing sleep mode that on Xbox? The one that turns off your SSD

For as much trolling as this is, you literally cannot divest in American energy unless you're willing to start WW3. Even the democrats have cucked themselves to this fact.

Nothing, any idiot knows Microsoft is basically the country's IT department with their fingers in both industry and consumer products. People are just angry they let their comfort be consolidated by a giant zogcorp
don't think just get outraged with your fellow vroskis
Its a slippery slope. First they'll update during low power. Then they'll do what the thermostat companies do with smart saving and restrict the console's performance. Then they'll shut down the console completely during climate lockdowns. Then the'll shut down your console if your social credit score it too low. And yes consoles will require always online connections in the future.
they can just do all this at the power grid level retard
It also wouldn't make economic sense when burning coal in both the literal and erotic sense is the only industry left in America
I can insult you too. Argument ignored double retard.
whatever bro be afraid of the gaming console when the energy and cable companies have the ability to cut you off your power, gas, and internet for decades now
That'd be the extreme case. First they take away your luxuries like games and red meat. Then they force demoralization on you by forcing you to recite bullshit propaganda over and over again. And then they'll pull the plug if you don't do what big brother says. And if you rebel after that you disappear.
Literally the case for about 100 years now. Maybe you're not as contentious or a rebel to the system as you think you are
eating ice cream is a slippery slope, first you ingest frozen products, then you'll move to the artic and feed on ice, then you'll jump into the water spend the rest of your days as an ice cube
Anon the entire tech industry maintains extrajudicial records on literally everyone.
This is already a thing they do.
The change in this case would be directly integrating with your hardware.
Which they're ALREADY doing with farm equipment.
This is basically a feature all PC's, Tablets, Desktops have built in been using for over 2 decades. It's just being brought to Xbox now. If anything this is most likely to just turn the fucker off as it minimizes the overall failure rates
Then you just sell xbox and buy ps/pc. No point in fucking up your product that way

I genuinely miss the days when consoles were just plug-and-play/on-and-off and they didn't need to be always online to be functional. That said, this is just another company passing the blame onto customers.

Yeah no I'm not accepting your attempt at revising history.
Literally every tech industry coordinating to explicitly unperson people publicly started in 2018, 4 years ago, accounting for months. This shit is newer than some of the anime children pedophiles in denial on this board pinch their piglets to.
Just because it's public now doesn't mean they weren't doing it privately beforehand. This isn't historical revision. You're just frightened that they have so much power they no longer need to be private about it.
Yeah no you're not going to put it past me with the "it was always happening actually" and move on to "it's a good thing that it's been happening".
I've never implied it was a good thing, only that the world you yearn for is so far gone and dead and the cognitive dissonance in your brain from reality is unironically making you schizo. If you want to navigate the world with efficiency you should at least come to understand it. Bretton woods destroyed a lot of things, relying on large zog corporations for your heat, warmth, and food is the new reality, and there's very little separating you from being cut off from this world in the way of recourse and always has been since the first natural gas pipes were put in the ground to light houses.

you're not wrong. I just miss when video game consoles were just that and little else.
>and they didn't need to be always online to be functional.
There's no way this console needs to be always online though, right? I'm sure you could just plug it in and put in a disk and play just fine, if you're playing a decent singleplayer game or whatever.
This is why fuck consoles, steam deck and a PC is the only way left to game

If you can't expand consumption, the economy crashes. Means you have to either start repealing some civil rights laws and allow a few more whites into the club or create more consumers in poor countries
They're retracting consumption though, or at least claiming they are.
Shrinkflation and subscription plans really just means you purchase more, or are a guaranteed income stream

Don't worry boys, this thing will still increase your electric bill by 5 euros a month regardless. Fuck the climate.
Is that an onion article?
fucking kek this is on par with deleting emails you don't need anymore and keeping less browser tabs open thinking it'll also help against climate chage (which is something that has been around forever btw and you can't change it)
good, saving the world is more important than chud "fun"
Company psyops to blame end users for climate change. You know will help with climate change? Take the entire supply chain out of China and put in a country that you can monitor. However that requires these dickheads to work and it will cut into their profits
this. it's amazing me just how invasive the environmentalists are getting. Attempting to tell individuals what they can eat, where they can live, what they can drive, how to spend their leisure time etc etc.
fuck off.
meanwhile the actual amount of CO2 released by these activities pales in comparison to the amount released by container ships traveling the world to deliver dogshit from china. or out of season ag products from wherever. not to mention the amount of concrete used in china in the past 20 years outstrips the rest of the world's use for the last century. but no goyim, you must reduce your standard of living.
(and all of this is assuming something as complex as climate can be explained away by a single fucking variable -- co2)
It's a filter and a godsend. You can buy a 10-20 year old truck without the computers and gadgets, learn how to fix it and change the oil yourself (you can do that, right anon?), fuck whatever MPG it has and factually you're saving more carbon than some goy electric golf cart.
heh, i live on 7 acres of forest with young trees, if i could play the carbon exchange game like the corps, i'd be carbon negative with these mofos.
but those rules don't apply to us serfs of course.
(granted i honestly believe all this green bullshit and carbon-nannying is more about control than any kind of relevant climate issue)

>He thinks this will be for active use
OP is disingenuous retard: The thread™.
It's for the idle mode, which was always a fucking waste of electricity.
Finally the next episode to the voice commands comic.

you need to do better, Ganker
I'm proud of you.
The retarded EU are unironically planning a wattage power limit for computer/screen hardware
>Ryzen eco mode on
>Nvidia GPU set to 60% power limit
sorry consolebros.
It seems Microsoft will do anything except make good games
my hatred for microsoft has only increased
I'd rather let the philipines go underwater than eat the bugs. Real sick of boomers fobbing off their monumental problems onto me.
Do you fags literally complain about saving electricity?
where I live, between the hours of 4PM to 9PM, the electricity bill costs 400% more.
It's not really "muh savings" so much as "these fucking gays will bankrupt me"
Are you raw dogging it by paying for market prices in Texas by any chance?
It wouldn't be an issue if it was emblematic of how Microsoft basically has it's fingers in everything, including the business operations of the power companies they read the data from to decide if you're worthy of keeping your devices on or not. I'm indifferent, but there's a very real question of how much control we have over the things we use day to day.
as long as it's an OPTION
not
>your corporate betters have decided that they're going to retroactively change how the product you paid for operates, and you get no say in the matter
>goyim
that's not what's happening here of course, but give it time and that's where we're headed. we're living in a society where it's now not just considered okay to delegate personal autonomy and free will to whatever cause the talking heads on TV tells us is acceptable; but it's a fucking civic virtue.
which is absolutely fucking bonkers and contrary to the principles the country was founded on!
but again, it's all greenwashed propaganda to activate the feelgoods of the prius driving crowd. xbox electricity usage is a fucking joke in comparison to everything else.
Eventually this all comes down to who's bottom line gets affected, it's cool if the megacorps can spin it to come out on top, but being so blatantly disingenuous about it really is the most insulting part
>x-box
>our goal is to be a zero waste company!
>while simultaneously pushing forced TPM compatability that junks hundreds of thousands of older PCs as e-waste
What did microsoft mean by this
I got on my buddies Xbox and set the "its time to take a break" warning to go off every 30 minutes. Haha. Took him quite a while to figure out how to turn it off.
I also turned on the retarded handicrap voice that reads out everything on screen.
I got on my buddies PC and deleted the Windows folder
Microsoft will get sued over this in a class action lawsuit by pissed off gamers.
It's an optional setting
When the 28th amendment declaring video games illegal for all virgins above the age of 16 and virgin gamers above that age to be thrown in work camps with communal zyklon showers, Microsoft will finally force it on everyone
Their servers are and will pollute way more than some shitty consoles.
Cloud gaming and cloud saving was and is a mistake.
You will eat Bill Gates' bug burgers microcucks. You WILL get vaccinated
>XB1 is "an egregious spying device"
Member Germanbros?
Microdicks forgot who their ceo is
>please enter vaccine verification number to continue playing
They want to take your guns.
They want to take your gas stoves.
And now they want to take your Xbox.
What's next?
your anal virginity
Actually, they want to take you women now. Forced feminization for all men. Single male incels are too dangerous to be left alone in clown society
I do wanna lose weight
Why are conservatives so retarded? What can be done to force them to participate in reality rather than being forever trapped in delusional outrage fantasies?
Thank you for turning my xbox off to conserve our carbon footprint, gigantic billion dollar company that causes more pollution than their entire userbase combined. Surely this will save the world.
>Brown outs roll across NYC last summer
>Mayor begs people to turn off their AC
>Time Square signs lit 24/7
Fuck off. Businesses use infinitely more electricity than consumers.
Literally this.
Bet you one of those multi-story billboards sucks more power in an hour than an entire building does with a day worth of AC.
Funny how they never turn off the "non-essential".
They did this shit with water down in georgia.
>Drought comes.
>City tells people to stop flushing.
>Water parks still open.
Sorry man, but I need to send my shit down more than you need to send your ass down a waterslide.
>2023
>NYC still hasn't rolled out a plan to cover every flat roof in the city with a solar panel.
xbox really is the greenest console cause there is no fucking reason to turn it on
>don't finish your verification can in time before the update starts
>social credit score plummets
>power and water cutoff
>front door opens and the dog is shot by the gamer police

At least I didn't buy a PS5 before the pro got announced
Some might say it's fake, but the
fucked up part is that it could be real.
zamn it do be fr? shiet finna gon riot an beat up sum old folks tbch
What was anon's idea called, Children of the Trough?
>Two circled crazy things
>The rest are just as psychotic
This is probably fake but at the same time I believe it.
oh noooo pissbaby gamers can't play games 24/7 anymore just to save the world, this can't be happening!
>Defendent anon. You stand accused of illegal modification of the Microsoft Xbox Gaming Console.
>Why did you do it, son? You had enough GBP to have tendies every other day for months. You broke your mommy's heart. Why?
I did it so my xbox won't turn off.
POWER TO THE PLAYERS.
EXCEPT XBOX USERS.
Cute girl!
"forced"
>it's just an option, cattle
>it's fine
>oops climate got worse
>we need to change that now, unless you pay carbon credits
XBOX GO HOME
Who the fuck puts things into a "sleep mode" besides phones? Just turn it off
4 hours of gaming a day, mister!
lol it's nothing, xbox has like two states sleep and low power shutdown, from now on by default the xbox will go low power, but you can just use the sleep mode if you want, it's just virtue signaling for climatecucks
It's not going to power down during play. It's turning off the "sleep" mode and making the console power down instead when you turn it off.
climate changes every year, climate change is just a myth to destroy competitors and charge extra for everything.
Chinks pollute the entire world and don't have these shitty regulations, no western companies except corrupt ones can compete.
This is quite possibly the dumbest fake outrage I've seen in God knows how long. If we're making fake news about a console changing its default off setting from standby to full power off then we're literally hopeless as a people. The US taxpayer money is being used to carpet bomb random countries in the middle east but instead Americans want to get outraged over a default power setting change. My god.
its probably so microsoft can force updates and DRM onto your console without your permission, the way windows does it
MS is going full monopoly mode now
Consoles have had forced updates for ages. You can't play any console right now that doesn't have forced updates. If you don't update your console or your games you lose online features.
>You can't play any console right now that doesn't have forced updates
bs
Nintendo Switch allows to not update and can play game anyway.
Try and ignore a game update on switch and then try to play online in the game it won't let you
i don't pay monthly fees for anything, I won't give Nintendo money for online allowance, so it's irrelevant
also who gives a shit about online?
>I can't play versions with glitches online, buuhuu
???
The original post you replied to was about online features. If it doesn't affect you why did you reply only to say it doesn't affect you. Retard.
no mandatory patches still, dumb fuck
>don't install online update
>can still start game
>can still look for players
>no one found, because everyone else got the update
>(you): nooooooooo
t. retard
>lose online features
I dont need online features for single player games.
get ready for denuvo for xbox!!
I'll get ready to switch to pc.
Sony owns/owned denuvo so get ready for it for playstation before anyone else
Xboxtrannies on suicidewatch.
Feels good to be a PC GOD.
Why are people still buying consoles? Lol.
Most people are retarded.

I heckin love greenwashing so much, the company makes millions upon millions of landfill consoles that nobody fucking wants, and the poor saps who buy one get scolded on the importance of the environment
>about to kill the end boss
>Halo
>purchase 10 more carbon credits to continue playing
Verify can meme is now a possible nightmare.
At some point, you guys just have to accept that nothing will ever, ever get better. Everything will get more anti-consumer, more locked down, more restricted. We are 100% headed for dystopia and there's jack shit we can do about it.
lmao. im glad i dont own these new console. Im going back to my Nes and snes.
