One of those games I intended to check out for a couple hours, but have spent way longer than I’m willing to admit chilling and chatting while in between things.

I was waiting for the part of the article where something tragic happened to the kid to warrant the mom’s jailing.

Not… him just going for a completely normal walk…

I know a shocking amount of people who will buy the new iPhone every single year, so from Apple’s POV why would they ever not release a ‘new’ phone.

Guess the Magic Mouse design team was getting bored

I feel like they don’t even need to be crypto schemes affiliated with Musk for that Venn diagram to work

This all feels very Streisand Effect. I don’t care about these accounts, but the more attempts there are to suppress them… the more they feel important.

…in the update that came out after this article was posted and the discussion took place.

EDIT: The article has been updated and it was described as a “packaging bug” and not an intended change.

How many times do I need to pack up and move to the next “best option”

Ah yes, that does seem like the most optimal way to deliver your games post-death.

No idea what bequeath means but it sounds badass so I support this

That’s the most dangerous part of it for sure. Inherently, the more a company has a monopoly over an industry, the less incentive they have to actually do a good job with anything.

Every time I go to play an old Ubisoft game I get to some stage in launching where I remember “oh right this is why I stopped bothering to play”

Keeping repairs locked into your system of parts/techs can at least feign “safety” or “quality”.

But essentially just refusing to repair is an absolute fuck you.

I’ve started choosing the companies I use based much more on the experience offered when their product/service DOESN’T work, rather than when it does.

I feel like they’re a couple years late to the boat on that (already sunken) fad

As someone tech literate that looks hilarious to follow through with.

But if not, that really does seem similar to a normal captcha with fairly simple steps.

I honestly still hardly have any (spare) USB-C cables, and while I’d never pay for one I always do find the official Apple ones quite reliable.

Now it’s just a fuck you at this point

Top 10 phrases ever uttered

Mine changed back to 8MB from 25MB a few weeks ago and it really does cut the amount of stuff you can send without having to run them through compression or just host externally.

I’d love to know the returns any of these companies are getting on advertising there… it was already pretty bleak before the takeover.
