What's the difference between malware and windows?

Malware is well maintained by its developers.

And how do you give away a digital game?

You might not sell games, but other people do especially if they don't like a game.

Now the game just sits in a virtual library unplayed. If there was a way to sell, or loan, a game license to a friend or something, that'd be cool.

Woah, slow down there pal. Don't cha know, seeing articles makes a copy in your brain which is piracy.

Yeah, flash certainly wouldn't work for actually running the game, but it would work great for a 1 time distribution/transfer method to the game to a pic/console's drive.

They could just use a flash drive to distribute the game. Copy the game to the local drive...and wait, that's how PC gaming works.

The appeal of CDs, or game cartridges, was the ability to load a game and immediately start playing (well after the loading screen as everything loaded into ram) and you could play the game on other consoles (bring game to friend or resell it). To recreate that, most games would have to be shipped on a 256gb ssd so the game can just load from that on any computer. I have a feeling that's not the best business strategy right now

Good. If they want security, hire security. No store clerk should be expected to intervene. Most they should be responsible for is keeping them self safe and and calling a manager/police once its safe for them to do.

Meanwhile Windows; Hi, you saved a file earlier? Let's search for it. Nope, can't find it, do you want to search Bing? No? [A few minutes later] Ooo, so sorry you're offline and can't download it. Too bad.

Ios; you want to open the file in an app? OK, click 7 buttons and we'll make a local copy stored in the app's specific folder you didn't know existed.

Chrome; what's a file?

Linux; which file browser would you like to use today?

Am I just missing it, or is there no list of of these infected apps on the posted article or the reference the article links to. To me, that is the most important information.

The headline/title needs to be extended to include the rest of the sentence

"and then sent them to a minor"

Yes, this sicko needs to be punished. Any attempt to make him the victim of " the big bad government" is manipulative at best.

Edit: made the quote bigger for better visibility.

"Even if they are not linked, services can still share data" Isn't that the whole point!?

what did I just read? That woman needs to dump that boy. That boy needs reeducation on basic cleaning.

This gives the same vibes as "I don't wash my privates because it's gay".
