You just have to defend it against bit rot, media failure, malicious actors, natural disasters, etc.

Double tap. Don’t get all stingy with your bullets.

Piracy is a service problem.

Yes but also it is increasingly becoming a price problem

Broken clock and all that

I remember playing with a similar feature on my Galaxy S3 back in the day. Eye scrolling. The phone would scroll for you when it sensed you looking at the bottom of the screen. That was the S3. It was not perfect but very usable. My hands always felt faster so I never kept it on but it was a fun thing to play with. I’m sure the only thing stopping them is the fear of backlash. We’ll get there in time I’m sure :/

You just gotta let the sink in or something

Dr. Oz would like a word

Customer: my phone doesn’t charge

Estimate:
$100 USB charge board
$50 labor
$10 shipping $160 total

Actual price:
$120 Screen (OEM replacement)
$75 fingerprint reader+assembly (OEM replacement) $40 speaker (OEM replacement)
$100 USB charge board
$120 labor
$10 shipping
$465 total

I think most people would swallow the loss and use it as an excuse to upgrade. Use that same money for a new phone instead of a fixed phone

If you send in a phone with non-OEM parts it’s safe to assume that it’s a bit on the older side. You’re probably sending it in instead of buying a new phone because you can’t find a repair shop that will work on your device because sourcing parts can be difficult for older devices. If you’re suddenly hit with a bill that costs more than the value of a new phone, or at least a replacement, suddenly paying becomes questionable. But yeah, you’re right. It feels like theft.

You say that’s the best we can do.
No. It isn’t.
That’s the bare minimum and I don’t think we will get even that much.

The first game is already on steam

Over the years I have heard stories where Valve closes an account after the owners passing. This is usually because the poster said they had trouble with something and explained that the original owner passed. Valve then responds by closing the account and ignoring the issue.

With that said I don’t think large groups of people can effectively share a library/account because only one person can play at a time. Small groups like spouses, parents, siblings or a small friend group is doable because it is easier to coordinate who is gonna use the account at any given time. This is especially true if they live together.

With the Deck, I have issues where I boot up a game on my living room PC and my Deck closes it’s game making me lose progress on the Deck. Imagine that multiplied 20x. Getting kicked mid match, losing that boss fight, lose your high score, getting left on cliffhanger mid cutscene. The throw your controller rage stuff.

Yes, happens all the time on gog. They don’t have the same library of games but there is an overlap.

Carlson gave Putin a platform. I see a trend forming.

Kinda ironic that you didn’t cover your email address in a privacy community

Can we do guns next?

Not to be that guy, but how long until the assassination attempts?

Red Sparrow is the better Black Widow movie.

It must be hard knowing the employee of the month was a contractor.

Guns + ski mask + Hawaiin shirt = acceptable
Blue hair + medical mask + no guns = illegal
It’s just “common sense” people. Use your best judgement officers.
