They have updated their policies a bit. You may not be in the game credits but you'll show up here.

FWIW the social club team which handled a lot of the online components was small around the time GTA5 released. They built the APIs to handle user generated content, telemetry, accounts, etc. But, there were other team members that made it so the game would call said APIs.

Enter your zip, type of grass you want, where you're starting and it gives you a rough plan to follow for seeding, feeding, and pre-emergent.

Not looking to hire? Just curious about testing at your startup or org? I'm always down to talk.

"You need this sign in your break room else you'll be fined $10,000! Just subscribe for $299/year and we'll mail you labor posters each year." These can be found for like $10 and don't change yearly.

"This form needs to be filed else you'll be fined! Pay us $499 and we'll take care of it!" Free to file online.

Even forming a business in my state is like 2 forms and $125 and can be done all online. But if you were to google how to, you'd find all these people to "Help out" and it'd end up costing you $1000-2000 for their "Help".

Nintendo sends a ton of C&D letters to smaller developers, and are pretty anti-emulation. Games never go on sale. Remakes are expensive ($60 for Super Mario RPG for example).

Sony just had the whole "You need a PSN account to play a PC game" thing. But also, you can't create a PSN account in some countries, so sorry you can't play the PC game you bought anymore. They ended up walking it back though. You also need to pay to play online, which is a thing on xbox as well. But I think that's usually drowned out by the "PC Gamers" who don't need to pay for something like that.

I use a google account with a catch all domain. {Website/Store} @ short domain that goes to the same mailbox. I reply from name @ different domain, though.

The benefit is when I give it over the phone it's easy to say "StoreName"@ than spelling my name or using another longer email.

Many times people who steal credit cards will try to make small purchases to validate cards. Since there is no human interaction someone who has stolen ~10 cards could try each one by buying a $1-2 coffee and seeing which ones work. The machine takes photos which could then be turned over if/when the card holder reports fraud.

The only reason they started migrating was because it started getting too expensive and hard to find old parts.

Some will show you their revenue, "I'm a six figure author!" But frequently hide how much they spend on ads or editing. Or try to hide that they're making ~$50k on courses/affiliate sales and their net is... ~$50k. Writing is a net zero income for them and most of it is just used to sell courses/products.

Source: Me. I had a comparison tool for products with similar layout to this. They originally denied it citing 'lack of content'. Made a 2nd website with some blogs/reviews, it was approved. Re-used the code/api for the comparison tool and closed the other website. They haven't complained in 12 years.

Even single player games will require you launch, sign up, and auth with EA's servers before you can play said game.

It's this way in other states as well. I briefly looked into teaching and the pay range was $30-45k because I only had a bachelors. My 10+ years of experience meant nothing. If someone was teaching any other subject fresh from college with a PhD it'd be closer to 60k-70k.

Years of teaching didn't mean much either. It was basically cost of living pay raises unless I went back to school and got a masters/phd.

Bluetooth headphones existed prior to 2016 when the AirPods were released. Wireless headsets for phones were also very disposable. Wireless buds were also poor quality and didn't last.
