Possibly the worst choice they could have ever made. I have no faith in Xbox’s technical ability anymore.

End of a software juggernaut. ID Software engines were always top class.

I often wonder in times like this if John Carmack and Co. feel any guilt or remorse for selling to Zenimax (Who then sold to MS)?

By all accounts they had a self-sustaining business. And now it's gone by corporate decree.

I think the xbox reset is technically a surrender, at this point I'd be surprised if they ever make another one.

From a marketing standpoint, most gamers would associate a “reset” as a final surrender in technical troubleshooting their Xbox.

They want gamers to “reset” their expectations, but I don’t see that panning out well as a strategy.

Totally different topic. What is xcancel ?

A frontend for Twitter/X used to link to X posts without people needing to log in.

And why did it start suddenly mostly stuck at captcha (proof of work I guess) stage?

If your browser doesn't leak enough personally identifiable data, it assumes you are a bot. I find it ironic, considering the page only displays scraped data.

A Twitter proxy to avoid having to access X.com directly.

This website doesn't load on Firefox, it just refreshes continuously. I even tried turning off my adblocker and it still does the same thing.
