If that was the business, yes. The first rule of understanding the business is understanding the business model. Not the product. If the business model is a subscription, then you look at the moat. If the moat is not there - you are not that much different from Microsoft Office (which arguably has a larger moat).

You are giving a line by line answer to AI slop.

People should be educated about AI gotchas.

If apple indeed use shit posting, there has to be several layers of subcontractors in between for plausible deniability. Apple's own comms guidelines strictly prohibits pay-per-review, manipulative, "shit posting" style practices.

For 60% of the world, it doesn't make a difference. Do not project your gendered (read: sexist) language constructs onto us.

True - you avoid widespread attacks, but you become super vulnerable for targeted ones.

mutt is still being actively developed. Being on command line doesn't make something legacy. Eudora on the other hand had its latest version out 2 decades ago - it lacks even the most basic security updates (starting from TLS, but many more).

I understand BBC may not have the technical background to critically assess this approach, but whoever using Eudora (I loved it in 2001 btw) for security should get their credentials removed via King's order. Security through "obsolescence" is no different from security through obscurity - therefore, it doesn't work. Somebody not bothering to look for holes in your software doesn't mean they don't exist - in the age of Claude - I am pretty sure I can destroy your legacy software in minutes.

At some point it's going to catch up. Legislation is a very hard process.

No - it means you are exposed to - electricity / gas / oil prices. Or Wheat maybe?

Nice Ramen sold at 14 EUR are those prices. In Japan, you can have a nice hinge quality bowl of Ramen for around 7-8 EUR.

That's why you should try it in Japan.

You are naive. Nothing to do with empathy. Everything is cash - warm little cash. No what's lost is - people stopped voting with their wallets. When someone did something atrocious, people stopped buying it. Now - first of all, half of the consumers don't care if PS5 titles are on disc already. And they will not stop when they stop putting things on discs. So why would Sony stop?

Maybe introduce virtual scratches? Or like maybe blur the textures a bit every time it's played?
