Thats irrelevant to my point. I am not comparing consoles to PC’s, you are, thats a you problem.
Again, irrelevant for my point If you want to make a proper argument for consoles VS PC’s then we can have that.
I have never experienced this, at least not in any form of malware that has ever noticeably tampered with my PC.
This is actually not entirely true, the first thing I did when I bought my R4 was replaced my RAM sticks, a later lightning strike fried the mother board, I was able to get a free replacement, that is only true when the PC comes with a warranty user agreement, typically stating “no user-serviceable parts inside” In which case, they would void your warranty.
I did a lot of self teaching also.
Though I took A+ computers and became certified, then went to an ITT tech, dropped due to major car accident rendered me immobile for a year, returned to do programming. Realized I don’t want to do programming as a career but rather enjoy it as a hobby; then switched my major for criminal lab forensics. Visual basic was pretty fun to deal with. I still have my old disks lol.
Most come with at least 500gb-1 TB. That lasts you for quite a while till you’re ready to upgrade your storage.
You can specify if you want more storage during the purchase process, and it doesn’t cost you that much more unless youre going for SSD, but try and purchase a PS4/5 with an extended storage, and your costs are dramatically increased.
I also feel like they intentionally create a shortage for those specific Better/Best consoles just so they can justify a price gouging, and even if you can afford them, they usually out of stock, the biggest god damn issue were scalpers over-buying and re-selling which was a huge problem for both console and PC.
You think Anti-virus are necessary as a residential user? Unless you’re frequently dealing with websites that are typically infested with malware, anti-virus is arguably not necessary as a standard, residential user, I haven’t used anti-virus in 20 years.
However, for a company or organization that holds onto much sensitive information that they are under legal obligation to protect, they must buy anti-virus software and keep it up-to-date. Even working for a governmental organization, we still get hits from Crypto-viruses despite that protection. People with the skills to make malicious software, don’t target random users specifically, they may use them for practice though as there is less risk of them possibly noticing and getting police involved.
The only other reason, would be out of spite, or as retaliation. People aim for places that have money, or valuable information.
PS/Xbox always does updates too, every time I pop in a new game it has to install the damn game, which takes a lot longer than it should, then I have to wait for it to then perform a software update, for every damn game This can take from 10 minutes, to 30 minutes. I really hate it.
I’m 37. By standard zoomer qualifications I’m already boomer age. Lol
The worst part about getting old is coming home from a long day at work, and staring at your 500$ PS5 and thinking “I’m too damn tired to play this.”
I’m not familiar with this, is it like a studio software?
Well yea, its about double the price, I’m not disagreeing a console isn’t more affordable, there’s just some games that feel better on a PC, and some that feel better on a console. Diablo games just feel more organic on PC, as do FPS games due to awkward aiming with a controller over a keyboard and mouse, but a lot of your open-world games like the newer Pokemon games, feel a lot better on the switch, not considering the specific control peripherals designed to coincide with the game’s interface.
