How long you think before MS starts handing recall data over to the NSA? Is the integer describing the number of days negative?

Microsoft probably happily provides any data about its users to law enforcement requests already and they always have. Businesses always do. If you dont want it in the hands of the law, use services which dont store any of your data or are in locations without jurisdiction and/or corruption.

This is how business works. Nadella doesnt give a fuck about who the president is. He is sucking up to whoever sits on the throne so he can continue to sell them their products. Theres politics and theres ideology, the two are often different.

When it comes to playing Hades, Balatro or Brotato, I have had zero issues with the deck. It is literally a console experience there. Verified (green) games will just work and are indictive of a console experience. Playable games (yellow) dont represent a console experience. Small text, having to bring up a keyboard manually, launchers.. these things arent something you'd see on a console. Unverified games and emulation require the most tinkering and thats when you really get to experience it as a PC.

In its default state, playing only verified games, only in handheld mode, without external controllers - the deck is a fine machine and offers a console experience. Dock it to a TV, start using more controllers, fiddle with yellow games and that experience is gone. I absolutely appreciate I have the option to do so and not be locked out of it - thats why im a Deck person and not a Switch one.

My point is the deck cant replace a switch and the switch cant replace a deck. They complement each other fine.

Because it's a console, not a portable PC.

The switch offers a console experience. Everything just works and works well.

The deck offers a console-like experience. The majority of PC games work, some may have issues, some may not be suited to the form factor. You can play console games on it but not out of the box.

I say this as someone who doesn't own a switch and uses their deck every night. I absolutely see the type of person who would buy a switch and the type of person who would buy a deck. They both have valid points for doing so and I'd never recommend the other device to them.

If a security flaw is discovered and patched, it is a good sign the manufacturer is standing by their product and providing support. AFAIK, tp link does push regular fw updates for their omada gear. I've had two in the last month.

In your case, I'd open a support ticket with that issue and see what tp link thinks directly. If you don't like their reply or are ignored, you will have your answer on whether or not you should switch.

They story should have been how a $200m investment into a live service game failed. An investor who knows jack shit about games reads that and now thinks live service games are a risky invetment strategy.

Buy a yoghurt maker. You add milk, 5% of already existing yoghurt and whole fruit (berries are best). Leave overnight and now you have yoghurt with fruit and no added sugar. The fruits are whole so they have fiber and any natural sugar in them isnt going straight to your blood now.

I feel like men do have it tough and when men start talking about it, they get shutdown and told to be a man. Boys dont cry afterall. So some men may feel its unfair when women speak up and are heard. So they want to make it about them. In the comic, just as the men are dismissive of woman problems, she is dismissive of mens problems. Instead of attacking an unfair weath class system, we bicker about shupid shit like men vs women. Its not race, gender or sexuality we should be discussing. Its social, weath classes.

They are efficient (cargo vs fuel consumption). They also go through my regular car's full gas tank in about 30 seconds. Less ships means less fuel burned. If we produce locally, transportation is not needed.
