History in itself tries (or should try) to be objective and avoid the bias you mention, but that doesn't make it less political by any mean.

There isn't anything wrong in that, is just the way we work, we live in a particular culture, in a particular social system, in a particular time, and we are political beings.
An true history without politics would be like raw data of the state of every atom trough history, and even that may be political (why you choose to view the world as data?)
Also, you’re assuming there are always only two positions on a given topic. I know it might look that way on Twitter—most people today seem weaponized to pick one side or the other—but real social studies are far more nuanced than that.
The fact that everyone criticizes you only means that whatever you say doesn’t align with their narrative, not that you’re close to the truth.
Later in life, when someone showed him the World Cup trophy, he started crying. He said, "I gave everything for that trophy—my family, my personal life. I forgot to live."
Sometimes, what appears to be success from the outside hides a deep obsession and significant gaps in personal care and mental health.
It’s okay not to be number one sometimes, there is a huge price to pay that not everyone sees, and nobody shows.
If you have your entire collection of games on PS4 (or Steam, or Xbox), moving to a different ecosystem is a pain. Even if the console itself is cheap and they give away games, once you have everything in one place, there is little incentive to move away from your console of choice on the next generation. You have to differentiate a lot of your competition, (as nintendo does) but an xbox is basically the same as a ps5, just with 20 or so different games (exclusives).
That wasn't the case in the past. With physical games, I usually had more than one console, and depending on the price, performance, or other factors, I would choose one platform or another.
That's why I think they want to push PC and even TV gaming. Getting people into their ecosystem is the tricky part.
The console as hardware is actually great, probably better than the PS5, and really cheap for such a powerful computer.
Then on the "Series" line you have Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X.
So many people can think "X" or "S" as being a "Series", something of a kind, and confusing a "xbox one X" with a "xbox series X". - You have a series X? oh yeah, i have the xbox one X.
Also the looks of the xbox one S and the xbox series S is quite similar...
Not sure why didn't called xbox 2022 pro and slim or something.
And it's a shame, i have an xbox series x and is actually a great product.
I know that feeling.
Looks like resource isolation and avoiding a non performant piece of code to bring your whole system down is overrated.
Just scale vertically! Get a bigger instance!
