Oh, ok then. Guess who didn't read the article. :-)

What do I do with my PS5 discs if I buy the Pro one day? Are they just unusable? Will I be able to get a digital copy for free since I already paid them for the disc they stopped supporting?
It seems like there's no sane migration path from PS5 with disc drive to the PS5 Pro.
All the things that used to break phones got fixed, mobile OS changes got smaller and smaller, designed obsolescence required something that would get people to buy a new phone every 18 months. So here's a hinge. Here's TWO hinges!
Most people have never installed an operating system, and I've never seen a laptop running Linux for sale at Best Buy or wherever, so there's a huge barrier for entry for the average person.
I'm sure most people would be fine with Linux day to day if it was set up for them, but they're not going to download an ISO, boot from it, and install an OS if they don't have to.
These same people, to stick with my example, might grow delicious tomatoes, better than those you buy at the supermarket. Can anyone grow some tomatoes? Pretty much. Does anyone really have to? No.
What's a month? ;)

People can choose what to spend their time doing. Some of us choose to be able to install operating systems, other choose to become master gardeners. Who's to say which one is right or wrong? The gardeners probably don't have any issues using WhatsApp, even if there is advertising in it, because it solves the problem they have. Then they go back to the thing they're experts at instead, saying things like "why can't these tech sheeple grow a radish? send them all to jail."
It took me a lot of convincing to get my friends on Signal instead of WhatsApp. I believe WhatsApp was talking about adding advertising or charging money, and I used that to get people to switch.
This reminds me of the argument I see from Linux users that Linux is just as easy to set up as Windows. I think it doesn't occur to people making that argument that most people never even set up Windows. It's just on their computer when they get it.
The setup needs to be fast and easy for people to consider it. Nobody will spend even 5 minutes figuring something out these days.
Edit to add that a bunch of younger people have never had a computer or laptop. They do their computer stuff on a phone or possibly a tablet and they definitely never did anything technical like reinstall the OS.
Unless I missed it multiple times, I'm amazed that Red Dead Redemption 2 isn't on the list at all but something like Mini Motorways is. No offense to Mini Motorways, but RDR2 was a mind-blowing game for me.
Yeah, I tend to agree with that.
If I was looking for a game to play right now, and The Last Of Us 2 was my choice, I'd go with the remaster over the original though. I think most people would, so I think it's a good recommendation.
They'd have to triple their sleep though.
Surprise, a ranked list of games leads to controversy.
Google made this available so they can encourage developers to use it and say "we're not a monopoly, the developers are adding the check" and see how long they can get away with it.
