Well now my biggest fear of riding a Waymo is not how it drives but getting my Google account banned because it misdetected something.

1. steam does not have a monopoly on distribution rights for PC games. if steam were to go bankrupt publishers could honor your keys and even other marketplaces could do it. steam themselves let you bring your own key.

2. steam has been a benevolent marketplace leader, even though DRM itself plays against customers, the rest of the stuff they pushed while leading, like game sharing, play and refund, offline playing, are pro consumer.

3. why would your knee jerk reaction to this is pointing a finger to steam, what's your endgame?

Now when they see something weird (recently, a bird of prey in street light they saw through the window) they sound the alarm and the dogs go absolutely crazy.

If someone from the US does something illegal on your site (which is legal in your country), depending on how much they want you will end up in a US prison.

Before the US decided that betting online was OK, betting sites had travel advisories for their employees not to travel to the US.

unless it's one of the big guys, devs either sell the extensions or get hacked, it has happened multiple times.

I'm in that age range and I lived through T2 and Endgame and I'll have to disagree.

T2 is one of my favorite movies of all time but experiencing the Endgame premiere, as a hardcore fan, with the other hardcore fans, was something else, it had the whole teather howling during the climax.

I also get that T2 is "easier" to enjoy in the sense that you need to watch like 22 movies to really get into Endgame.

Are people still using this to justify no encryption? that comic sure did a lot of damage.

Mr. Nobody should be able to decide how much they want to protect themselves. If it's unstable maybe Mr Nobody is fine with it.

Raising the cost of achieving this to enterprise budgets, just because, seems suspect. Specially when there are so many attempts to undermine secure computing by the powers that be. [1] [2]

> There are many much cheaper ways to force you to give up your keys.

Yes, but that requires the Mr Nobody knowing you have access to them, which in itself is a big deal.

But let's think about it, why would they torture Mr Nobody by wrench? News stations would like to hear that, or do you think they will make Mr Nobody disappear too? Would they take those risks for a Mr Nobody?

Maybe the most realistic scenario is that people sometimes can hold onto their passwords. Scumbag or not. [3]

you mentioned supply and demand, if everyone is struggling to buy houses, downpayments wouldn't just go down a little.

in the end, everyone needs housing, every single house would be occupied just as now, but instead of having renters being squeezed by supply and demand you would have owners.

how is that a worse scenario?

let developers have rent, they are the risk takers, they deserve it.

> they are not secure.

They are secure if they fit your risk profile, a blanket statement like this is just disinformation.

Don't treat your peers like idiots.

And even if it were a valid point, why would eye even waste a second of your life argumenting against Linux when it's being asked to a company with a projected 1 trillion dollars IPO.

What's your stake here?

I got an ortholinear keyboard that looks like a rectangular grid, just 12 by 4 keys around 10-15 years ago.

I don't recall the last time I felt pain in my hands, completely gone.

that capilarity is not something you can achieve overnight.

I prefer people to email me because half of the time they figure out their problems while writing them.

it's not an absolute rule but people who don't do their homework gravitate towards calls and messaging because they just don't prepare their questions.

asynchronous communication puts the burden on the sender, where it belongs.

proper 4k, like the one you watch from a blu-ray, will have peaks of 150mbps.

the 4k we see on streaming services is awfully overcompressed.

and yeah, you can see the difference, it's day and night.

mind sharing where's the go to place to pay for open models?
