The issue is that someone else holds the key to your license. They can revoke it at any time, with 0 meaningful consequences.

We must now provide our own physical media to store the game...which in principle is fine and makes more sense than a game disk. However, the reliance on corporations to not fuck you over is the issue.

Archiving all your games is easier than said done too. To properly "keep" every game, you'll need a lot of high-capacity storage devices. Going by common file backup strategy, we need to store at least 3 copies, ideally 1 off site somehow. That's going to add up quick.

And hopefully your game is DRM free and doesn't try to phone home looking for a valid license on a deprecated server.

It's meant to be a joke, it clearly didn't land like I thought, oh well.

The new map has no terrain detail, so I, jokingly, took to mean that they literally flatted out the terrain. Which would cause all sorts of climate change.

I just tell them I don't like these apps scanning pictures of my kids and knowing their exact location at all times. My phone also has a lot of my kids pictures that I don't want being scanned for AI.

If a 40year old man had constant microphone, camera and GPS access to my kids, I'd be justified to go buy a gun. Why should a "corporation" be treated any different?

And privacy is not about hiding, it's about keeping nosey people out of our lives. Like closing the windows when you're talking about your finances so the neighbors can't hear. You're not hiding anything illegal, you just don't want strangers to know every detail of your life.

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?

She won't get made fun of for sounding like Jessica Simpson...none will care, they'll be too busy making fun of "Blessica"

This isn't new at all. Apple has been consistent with long term updates for a while.

iPhones have been getting at least 5 major annual updates sense the iPhone 4. The average is 6 updates.

If anything, it gets to a point where the old hardware can barley handle the newer OS.

This is the equivalent of them promising to be called Apple in 5 years - it changes absolutly nothing.

Edit: thinking about it, this gives them an excuse to reduce the number of years they support phones. Instead of 6-7, can we now expect that to become only 5 years?

This could be a huge loss disguised as a win

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".
