Never underestimate the fleeting willpower of gamers in the face of exclusivity deals. It’s already captured a large section of the market (xbox consoles literally just run modified windows now) and will likely capture more. It’s all about adding enough of a marketing spin on it until the average gamer stops caring, or concedes the value proposition or their morals in favor of something they want more (like a next gen Skyrim reboot or something idk 🤷♂️)
I’m also not sure where they got their idea that cloud is cheaper from. On prem has always been cheaper, I’ve had to walk through fire and flames to get my company to approve cloud hosting as we simply do not have the capacity to be our own mail host. Goodluck explaining tech debt to upper management though, it’s like they’re allergic to the idea of understanding it.
Actually just got my $20 for this. Class actions work sometimes I guess. 10 years after the fact.
Goodluck with that.

The backdoor was not contained within the source code, but within precompiled binary blobs sent “downstream” from the maintainer, this is often done so that end users get a leaner version of the software without development tool chains attached, which also makes automated checking of these blobs difficult to impossible so instead we rely on verified and trusted upstream maintainers to be “good actors”. That’s the reason this is such a big wakeup call, as it’s a maintainer that worked on projects and waited for years before trying to push this through.
Filtered water will extract less due to a lack of trace minerals.
You’re the one with exorbitant usb needs. That means you’ll be the one who expansions are made for. I don’t have the stats in front of me, but I’d wager the vast vast majority of pc users don’t use beyond 4.
Tbh it’d probably hurt more if it had to rupture your eardrum to get to your brain than it would to slither past your eyeball and through the socket. I mean, both are nightmare fuel, but given the choice I think I’ll take the one that seems less physically traumatic haha.
