On the other hand, some games using e.g. Unreal engine look visually impressive, but are unplayable at higher graphics settings even on hardware that is newer than the game — probably because they are doing things they aren't supposed to do with that engine, and maybe even the choice of engine was wrong to begin with 🤷

Exactly! RAGE (2011) still looks impressive today and it doesn't have high hardware requirements at all, it ran well even on a laptop with a discrete GPU contemporary to it. Hell, even Doom 3 doesn't look that bad TBH.
That's because they knew exactly what that could do with that engine and it works really well.

I think it's already happening. I have to admit that all my computers were high-end in their time, nowadays all computers I use are older than a decade and I don't feel limited in any way hardware-wise. And I barely ever use the full computing power of my phone. An octacore Aarch64 SOC and 8 gigs of RAM, seriously? I could've even used that as a desktop replacement, although I would never mind extra RAM and usually have it maxed out 😁

Damn, that Return to Oz scene looks scary as hell, I don't think I have ever watched it, now I think I should 😅

Who's the little guy in the upper left corner? 🤔

@bjeelka
As much as I might even agree with this, not be his avid supporter, consider his team to be a bunch of useless fuckers and not support his decision to return to Russia and be a martyr — yeah, I do think he could do so much more if he wasn't in prison, helping impose more effective sanctions being the first that comes to mind…
And even though I get that it could be that last day when this could be considered "funny"… still, I don't think that mocking his team today is appropriate 😩

What if Google subsidizes these? I think they even had such plans with Google broadband.
I won't go for it, but I know a lot of people who would — usually they are fine with using the likes of Google Edge.

I don't think you have to go that far — UBO has an option to disable scripts, large media and third party content by default. It breaks a most websites, but at least in this case I have to approve each of these things myself — often it makes cookie consent and other such things pop up, but at least in this case I know what I am in for.
