ragestorm··on Tell HN: Automatic fraud detection is making my life hell
You still need to provide accurate data for location, mainly due to taxes. I'm also getting from the post that there's an implication that they are receiving outside the us applicants.

Half the time, the shorts end and there isnt a great way to just continue the clip.
ragestorm··on Ask HN: How do I start teaching my 1.5yo nephew math?
Indeed. At that age speaking from 1 to 10 is good enough. I doubt one with be able to communicate effectively.

ragestorm··on Netflix Ships Last DVD
Lots more logistics involved with physical compared to streaming. Time is zero sum, you they could of had a small profit off the 1 million users but they probably found the focusing on other lines of business would be more profitable or less of a hassle.
ragestorm··on EU tells Apple to open everything up to its rivals
I would equate it to a rabid badger that is behind a door behind another door with both having signs saying ‘beware of rabid badger’. If you want to play with the badger, go for it or just leave the doors shut and you never have to worry about it.
ragestorm··on EU tells Apple to open everything up to its rivals
Just be careful getting anything that you barely use (I.e., less risk of breaking). Since we are locked to the AppStore, older iOS products can’t even download certain apps and there isn’t a way to get a previous app version that works with your product.

Simple apps like YouTube require iOS 14+. If you didn’t download before or had to factory reset once the app version updates, you are SoL.

I severely doubt that big corps will force side loading their app in iPhone when the easier experience is the iOS AppStore. Same reason why all those apps you mentioned are in the android store and not just apk downloads from their site.
ragestorm··on Developers fight back against Unity’s new pricing model
You are counting revenue share for unity, not per install. Say in the first instance, each user installed the game twice, your new charge is 16k$. That’s why people were reasonably upset. It’s the install metric. Glad they walked it back but just shows how disconnected the whole announcement was.

Hours played. Can’t remember the purchase timeframe. Could of been the difference.
ragestorm··on FEMA and FCC Plan Nationwide Emergency Alert Test for Oct. 4, 2023
I would think they wouldn’t just utilize the system so broadly or maliciously as you speculated. I have seen the government be reasonable with a public resource at least in US. Are there times when it is incorrectly used? Yes, but it is used far more reasonably than not.
ragestorm··on I downgraded to an iPhone 11 Pro Max – and there’s not much I’m missing
App support. AppStore doesn’t have download previous versions options and you can severely limit your options depending on max ios.
ragestorm··on FEMA and FCC Plan Nationwide Emergency Alert Test for Oct. 4, 2023
Did you receive those emergency texts (the topics you listed) or merely speculating what they are used for?

The frequency of the returns probably plays a part. Anecdotally, I've returned a couple of games over the 2h limit and they have refunded, no questions asked.

Lawn care and gardening.
ragestorm··on Developers fight back against Unity’s new pricing model
The asinine part is per install, instead of something like revenue share. Regardless of the bar they set (200k x2) for additional installs to charge is terrible simply due to the install metric.
ragestorm··on Is this fraud? And if so, to what extent am I responsible?
Counterpoint, OP is overthinking pen test = certification. He definitely needs to talk to his boss about it, but it could be a simple matter of discussion about what pen tests were performed. If a more recent and/or external one is required, simply tell them that you will work towards that. OPs goal should be to get clarity of what the client expects as a pen test.

One of the few here! Hardly anyone else though.

But they haven't to my knowledge given any specifics on how that telemetry data will be sent/aggregated/counted.
ragestorm··on When the Homeowners Association Comes for Your Home

Typically renting has no bearing on refusing mail delivered. It's your current domicile. If they are coming into your property to deliver the mail, you could post no trespassing and call the cops on them.

Courts spend time on all manner of things, so in fact they would spend 8 minutes on it.

Might as well ban all software and computers which gives an advantage over hand drawn content. Seems like an AI brush tool was used and the tool pays the artists through the nfts.

What's the problem again? That they disclose it? Okay, anyways...

ragestorm··on ‘Baldur’s Gate 3’ Prepared for 100k Concurrent Players, They’ve Gotten 700K
It might be related to multiplayer or that one had to redownload the game. The EA was so different, you had to uninstall and then install when it unlocked globally. No preload available.
ragestorm··on The Windows desktop is dying
Depending on the game and its DRM, the SteamOS has been great. A couple of symlinks are required to run some stuff but proton pretty much bridges the divide.
