  We’re still taking about Korean ISP charging streaming company for bandwidth, right? If the streaming service setup some TURN servers to help people behind cgnat, then they’ll going to get charged by the ISP because the traffic originate from TURN servers operated by the streaming service instead of peer-to-peer traffics among users. These ISPs rejected Netflix offers to put their caching servers inside their network afterall, so the TURN servers will have to be located outside their network and thus subject to the bandwidth charge.

  I’m behind cgnat myself and I can download but can’t seed. If everyone is behibd cgnat the swarm would be dead fast. In Korea, there are only 3 ISPs and if they collude to use cgnat with client isolation, they can kill these P2P scheme used by streaming site and boost their profit sharing revenue.

  Actually if you look closer, there was another tiny bot rushing the flame bot at the start but it got destroyed right away, so it was 3 vs 1.

  Which would be passed to their customers in the form of more expensive VPN price. Either way, the ISPs are the winner here, and I think someone mentioned that it’s practically impossible to create a new ISP due to regulatory capture so there will be no competition to challenge the oligopoly.

  So, if the ISP eventually deployed cgnat and broke P2P, they’ll going to be screwed, right?

  Every time you double your servers’ cpu usage, you’ll double your server cost as well. If it were cheap I bet more companies would actually consider doing this.

  The ultimate server-side anti cheat would be running the online game like Stadia where the players basically stream the game, which is very expensive to run today but might be the norm in the far future.

  it’s not a “nothing special” device, it literally has a psp encoded into the soc package…

  It’s nothing special anymore today because current arm processors are fast enough to fully emulate PSP.

  this is just flat out incorrect, a huge amount of games just don’t work on the vita tv because of the lack of touch interactions

  Only a few dozen out of hundreds of vita titles, and mostly due to the lack of touchscreen, not the lack of the rear touchpad. Most vita titles that use the rear touchpad only use it as a workaround for the lack of R2/L2 buttons, which the portal has.

  Hardware-wise, vita is nothing special. It’s just an arm cortex device, which means Sony will have much easier time making the runtime works on newer arm processor. They don’t even need to port the whole os, just the runtime would be enough. If a bunch of volunteer can make vita runtime from scratch on their own free time (and managed to get various Android games running on vita runtime too), there is no reason Sony which have access to the source code can’t do it with less time.

  No need for extra touchpad in the pad either. Vita TV didn’t have it and work fine without it too.

  They could at least add Vita compatibility and it’ll instantly has hundreds of games available. A shame since Vita itself can play PSP and PS1 titles.

  If we dump enough holy water outside, it’ll enter the global water cycle and render the whole planet inhospitable to vampires.

  Well, Infosys bills their clients by the hours, so of course they want their employees to work long hours. On the other hand, Microsoft basically (almost) own OpenAI, so of course they want people to offload more works to AI.
