They bought it from totalwargaming. Impulse I think it was called. It was actually the most promising steam alternative at the time, and I had started to prefer to use it because it was fast, clean, functional and they had some DRM free options.
Then GameStop bought it, and turned it into a steaming shit pile in less than a year.
Was a long time ago though. Very early 2000s I would guess.
Fanta is probably the worst example I can think of for having a different recipe depending on where it is. So maybe whatever is wrong with Fanta is just where they live.
What’s maddening is even this pricing is about what it costs off the shelf in the UK on a private prescription, no insurance involved, and like a 10th of that through the NHS. Like they don’t even try to be consistent about it.
Uh. We have both of these. The home cupboard and the guest cupboard.
Also. Apple has alt app stores in other regions. Data transfer on Apple hasn’t needed iTunes for a long time, and it will read USB-c hard drives and keys. I don’t disagree with you that iOS is more locked down, just pointing out the gap keeps getting smaller. I have a Jolla pre order in, because I’m a fan of open hardware, but it will likely be my android phone that I drop in favour of it.
Just them. I wasn’t really arguing for or against subsidies though, just the absurdity of it being called out so often when Tesla et al got subsidised too. You can split hairs all you like on the nature of those subsidies, but they absolutely did get them. They also didn’t have to give up a share of the company to get them, unlike all the Chinese automakers, but again that’s another complex issue.

Not at release. It came later though for certain chipsets.
Nope. Buyer and sell side. Federal interest free loan, state business tax credits etc - they got 200 million pounds in grants in the UK alone. Buyer side was on top. Hell they lied about sales in Canada to try and claw in undeserved subsidies before the programme closed.
Always amused at the “Subsidised” cracks with the Chinese automakers like Tesla wasn’t subsidised up the wazoo. It’s like the only crime is passing on the saving. Not saying you are doing that here, but it’s odd it comes up so much.
Huh. See a police car around here and it’s “ey-up, they’ve found you.”
But I see you. Since kids I have found any phrase that is a song title (or key refrain) gets sung back to them just to be annoying too. Sometimes said track is immediately played in a vain attempt to not seem crazy.
I ran into something similar recently on a Debian NAS. It was something to do with the power management settings on the drive. Tweaked a couple of settings and the problem so far hasn’t arisen again 2+ months later.
No complaints about Yomu.
More profitable to sell the disease and the cure!
Syncthing can easily be set to retain the last n copies. And you only need one or two to protect against corruption because you aren’t editing a corrupted file. Likewise a lot of the KeepassX clients can snapshot periodically too. Been doing this for years with no issues over Linux/Win/iOS and Android.
They did this with “plays for sure” DRM protected music files too, way, way back. Never bought content of any kind from them after that and then killing Windows LIVE.
Just assume everything from them has a “destroy after” date set in the near future.
When the scores are settled sure, doesn’t mean there’s not mechanisms in any particular country that make this harder. Work two Jobs in the UK without carefully sorting PAYE and one of those will be collected at 40% emergency rates. You get it back eventually, but if you are paying transport, meals and other expenses to attend the second job I can see how it could get close to nothing. You get most of it back later, but that doesn’t help marginalized people trying to earn extra right now.
Have you read the news lately? We’re just training for the next few years.
ALVR isn’t awful. I needed new hardware and bit the bullet knowing I was likely going to lose VR, but with the hardware upgrade, it’s nicer in the new machine (Bazzite, 7900XT) than the old (Win 10, 2080 Super Max Q). Definitely not a drop in replacement yet though.
And I’m saying it’s the same as world. You can drop off the net and play. Private session --> drop connection, play on. Can’t say I’ve ever tried starting it with no network because there’s no way in hell it’s running on the deck, but you could with MHW, so I wouldn’t be surprised if the same rules apply. I will try to remember to check later.
There’s also a Denuvo review account that only reports Denuvo status. Great if you don’t really use the reviewers because it puts the status in the main store page.
