Yes, this is cool, but what is this:

> User needs to use the programming tools provided at wiki page. Any device brick caused by hacking or improper programming may void warranty.

And:

It’s hackable or it’s not, choose one.

Small claims court? Certainly you’ll want to dispute the $95 charge. Assuming there is no third party software that can fix it.

Only slightly worse than the US-based payday loan companies.

This is my solution. I try to get a 90 minute nap whenever I can, but 30 and caffeine can help too. These two numbers are important so that you don’t wake up in a REM cycle.

Lolwat? Have you been to Disney? They take all your money. Have you watched a movie? Chances are Disney made it happen.

I want to know in what world a company like Disney goes anywhere and then send Microsoft and Amazon there.

Props, my friends just played through the demos for the most part. Quickly we learned the e3 demo was scripted when it was ostensibly the enemy so reacting to the environment

Funny, I have Switches and the games I want but still went through the effort to get it running on pc and steam deck. For fun?

Saying Linux is far from ready [for desktop usage] is like saying bicycle is far from ready for off road. What do you mean by “bicycle”?? Who made it? What features were priorities?

People run third party software all day every day. Third party software runs your browser, inside and out. Many commercial products leverage open source projects. Bottom line is you start Windows and you’re running third party programs. If you want Windows apps to run on Linux you need wine/proton/bottles etc. If you want it to be easy, you run Lutris or Steam or Heroic. Sure you can do it yourself too, but that’s harder.

I switched off windows easily, and play 90% of the games I want and have very few problems with productivity software. I use PopOS but I could have gone with half a dozen other distros just as simply.

I admit that I am not daunted by computer problems, but the worst case scenario is you choose a different distro with different priorities. Get yourself a couple memory sticks.

If your heart is set on a cheese sandwich, there is likely no non-dairy alternative that is going be good enough for you. But if you can stand Gimp instead of Photoshop and Libre office instead of MS Office, you’ll do fine.

On what KPI? Did they also suffer less burnout? Did the company lose money hiring these folks? Did anyone care? Who? Why?

I am not sure how the transport layer affects the DNS that is used, but I think you are mistaken. If you require an off-site DNS ad blocking solution compatible with DoH, try NextDNS.

That’s nice. I have never met a landlord that actually built the house themself. That does seem worthy of a tip.

I see it the other way around, if I am not tipping my doctor or my plumber then why should I have to tip my server or barista. The answer of course is that people who rely on tips don’t earn a living wage. That’s before accounting for white servers earning more than their black peers. The US regulates other areas that perpetuate racism like borrowing and employment.

Tipping should be illegal.

Why bother commenting such uninformed, speculative nonsense. As if no one had previously ever called this case frivolous. Just read the Wikipedia entry, it’s short. I believe in you.

The same old tired hot take from someone who didn’t read. This was an exceptional case, and a number of expensive lawyers weren’t able to stave off this litigation.

Scraping is legal.

Assuming you can afford to lose it.

No way to know for every game, but foot pedals for PTT is definitely a thing for controller players in competitive PVP games. They are often sold as accessibility products.

It’s my humble opinion that a setup like this is only “not hacked” from a combination of dumb luck and low value. Maybe that’s enough for most people. IDK

No disrespect, if I was still a windows user I would be on win7 too, however I can’t help but think about how naive this was with regard to security while I read it. I personally don’t know how XP could make a person more productive, but I really can’t understand throwing all caution to the wind and doing mental gymnastics to rationalize it.

I admit it’s possible that being on XP has some obscurity benefit, just like if you only used DOS. Having a firewall is de rigueur as noted in TFA, but far from foolproof. No single layer of security is airtight.

Probably the OP has heard of defense in depth, maybe not. Security of any system is porous. It’s like layers of Swiss cheese and so long as all the holes don’t line up, you don’t get owned. Being that windows exploits often affect versions all the way back to 3.11, XP might be more holes than cheese.
