They’re either voting for the person with the R or the D next to their name. Policies don’t actually matter.

I would argue that win 10 that’s been working on there for a long time will also run like a charm. Or enough of a charm that they won’t care to change it. And if it starts throwing errors, preventing the from doing things they want, or breaking down, they’ll just think it’s the machine and replace it. Most people don’t think of OS and Machine as separate, independent things.

It’s also a pay to win + subscription game full of micro transactions.

The proposed class action comes after Apple scrapped a controversial CSAM-scanning tool last fall that was supposed to significantly reduce CSAM spreading in its products. Apple defended its decision to kill the tool after dozens of digital rights groups raised concerns that the government could seek to use the functionality to illegally surveil Apple users for other reasons. Apple also was concerned that bad actors could use the functionality to exploit its users and sought to protect innocent users from false content flags.

Honestly, if they eat this $1.2B fee and chalk it up to standing up for user’s privacy, this is a massive win for them.

You don’t need price fixing for any industry to go this direction. Take the gas station idea. You’ve got a corner with 4 gas stations. Each one can see the traffic the other ones get and can easily see how much they charge. All it takes is them saying “well, people are still buying gas at that station for $X more than mine, so I’ll charge that as well. And soon they’re all skyrocketing to whatever the consumers can afford.

Calling a group put on Price Fixing requires proving they colluded together to do so, but that’s not required in this scenario. Every landlord can see how much other rents are and if they can make more money and keep their renters or get new ones, they will push that limit. And honestly if they can raise it enough to cover some vacancies they’ll do that, charging 30% more but having 10% empty is still a net 20% in their pockets.

I always have to imagine I’m playing Operation and it’s going to buzz and light up a red light over my head if I bump the sides.

Verified. It’s on the table entry for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamanend's_bottlenose_dolphin

Even AI can figure this out!

Wait, you actually finish games before starting new ones? How do I learn this skill?

My wife and daughter use LibreOffice, neither one feels they are part of a community because they’re using FOSS. That’s not how this works.

People use a tool or piece of software because it does what they need and generally stays out of their way. They’re not going to jump ship to be part of a community because. Sure there are people that enjoy working on it, and there’s people who will donate money to make the software better, but you’re not going to convince people to choose FOSS for “the community”. You’re going to convince them by offering a better tool, at a better price without negatively impacting their workflow. That extends to all FOSS just as it extends to normal software and services.

Are there any other networks we don’t know about called Matrix we can clear out?

For most non-tech savvy people, the OS is part of the computer. It comes with win 10, that’s just the way the computer works and it will stay with 10 until the hardware fails or is too slow and they need a new PC. They’re not separate. And if a PC costs more, they’re just going to deal with it longer or give up on a desktop/laptop and do more on their phones.

I always figure we ask kids what they want to be when they grow up because they have better imagination and we adults are looking for ideas.

Plenty of white guys that ditched, divorced, etc their partners after getting them pregnant as well.

Same here. Even women doctors have been shitty to my white wife over things that should be obvious or at least taken seriously.

I can only imagine black women have it worse and that makes me pretty furious considering what I’ve already seen.

Do I need to finish 13 first?

It’s really not. Birth and conception is a much easier conversation and concept for kids to grasp than the finality that is death.

HFW has a mode where the HUD doesn’t show you any of the things you need to find… like rocks, bushes, parts, etc. it’s more immersive and I beat the game with that mode on without too much trouble. Watching my wife play with the normal HUD showed me I probably missed a few things here and there but nothing crazy. I was always able to find enough healing and rocks and I got all the collectibles (I 100%’d it, I just didn’t go back and NG+ on Ultra Hard like she did)

I remapped my CapsLock key to Escape. The only time I ever hit CapsLock was a mistake, so this works out a lot better… and yes, I’m a Vim user so having that Escape close by saves my pinky.
