With at least 2000 added games. Wireless controllers. Full repairability if something breaks and choice of what brands to go with for peripherals etc etc etc
Re: But you're defining "free" to suit your notions.
I've calculated the labor time I used to install and hunting and it resulted in USD (I don't fucking care). Also, the hardware costs are something near USD (I don't fucking care either because the PC is used for multiple stuff so it will be there regardless).
But if you want real costs for dedicated hardware just look for a Raspberry Pi and Xbox controllers. As for the work you need about an hour to have everything set up and running so just calculate it based on your average income. Of course it doesn't include all the fun in setting the thing up and I didn't include the fun in making a personalized case for the Pi. And it comes with approximately a fuckton of games from at least 15 different gaming platforms.
"the learning that precedes viable solutions is likely going to be decidedly ugly as we try to ferret out the best path forward"
The platforms alone won't be able to solve the problem. We must take this into our hands as society with free speech in mind. The most important step and yet the one that won't yield fruition as fast as we need is educating the ones we can so they'll think critically, look for multiple, reliable sources and more importantly, take their time to read and understand stuff before forwarding instead of parroting tiny, easy to memorize headlines. One can hope, no?
But... But.. PIRACY!! *foam gushing from mouth* GOOGLE EVIL! MASNICK GOOGLE SHILL! *brain meltdown* /troll
Ahem. Tim, your argument is very valid and based on factual data but it ignores one detail: you are trying to argue with sanity and reason. Those are not something you'll find in the usual nay-sayers, specially from TD.
"Frankly, it sounded like my son complaining when I took his electronics away when he watched YouTube videos instead of doing homework."
Because his son needed the internet to fill his tax stuff, to do virtually everything bank and govt related, to manage his medical data, to communicate with his/her colleagues at work, customers, to study etc etc.
To be fair it wasn't The Mouse (tm) in the defendant position. If it was the case and they were convicted I'd grab my towel to fetch a ride out of the planet because the apocalypse would ensue shortly after.
You don't need weapons to destroy a nation that doesn't care about educating themselves. Sadly, my own country is filled with idiocy as well and we are in a much more advanced state of degradation. Americans must unite and put petty partisan bickering aside because everybody has the same goal in the end.
So, is the reporter counter suing Universal for future protection and damages? I"d love to see this clearly settled. If there's a donation drive for that count me in.
When it's screwing your average citizen it's not a problem but when it's one of the privileged then OMFG INVESTIGATION NOW! At the very least it is being scrutinized...

Yep, just like his son.
