In my town it is a city utility like electricity and water. Gigabit fiber up/down for $70 with net neutrality

The biggest thing is view distance vs size. Your eyes can only see up to a certain density.

Nice yeah coffee isn’t always the play for me either for that reason. I like Yerba mate and white/green tea too

I like short coffee naps. It makes it really easy to get up afterwards. I’d only recommend it if you are able to fall asleep almost instantly though.

Basically you chug a cup of coffee and then nap, setting an alarm for 20-30m. Once you get woken up the coffee will be mostly in your system and you’ll feel really refreshed.

They wonder why piracy is on the rise. Have they tried no corporate greed yet?

Yeah the lived experience was what I was talking about with the shadiness of how it was done.

I hadn’t heard about games working when they require an external login. Could that be only relevant for certain features and not the main game though I wonder

Yeah stuff like that needs to be in the check box terms and conditions format and individually agreed to. Then you can’t purchase if you don’t check a ‘I understand I need a PSN account’ box. The format it’s in just feels like I’m agreeing only to the steam terms and the other ones are designed to be ‘snuck in’

That being said I guess everyone needs to read every detail before purchasing, which I and many others don’t do. I think even if they put a notice somewhere at first launch describing that their servers are overloaded and it will require PSN linkage eventually this wouldn’t have blown up at all. I’m way more salty at the shadiness of how it was handled over the fact that I missed the notice on purchase. That’s why they have the 2 hour return window. If I boot it and it says log into this site and I’m not ok with it, I can just give it back. Which is great that they are giving refunds regardless of hours played to remedy that.

And yes, I do take responsibility for not checking.

I know FFXIV saves your data. You’re welcome back anytime with your account

I feel like the easiest way to make that happen is by getting it into state level voting systems first. IIRC MN has started.

Either that or get a president in who doesn’t talk about it and then pushes for it after getting in. And the only way that would succeed is when all the dinosaurs retire or pass

Yeah third party apps can do end to end encryption. It uses the data network and not the cellular network then though.

Google Fi on Android actually does run E2E on calls https://fi.google.com/about/end-to-end-encrypted-calls/

Yeah the way people can recreate someone “in need of assistance” to trick family or associates is really scary especially for people who aren’t exactly tech savvy. That seems to me to be a worse crime than an explicit video that is pretty obviously doctored

Everyone knows this isn’t suicide but they are so brazen because there are no consequences. What do we need to do so that there are?
