>"That's surprisingly modest. 3-4 years of subscription approximately being equal to a license sounds reasonable." To me it's not modest, because I don't plan to stop using the software after just 3-4 years.

It's sort of unfriendly to corner customers into having to buy the application over and over each year.

I bought Little Snitch long ago but managed to squander my license a couple of years later. Mini is unfortunately a subscription app, which is something I these days consider a hostile/unfriendly business pattern. I won't be going

It's not simply a case of more data = more work to migrate , which by the way is a fallacy in many cases. This is an artificial type of "gravity", because the migration procedure itself was hampered by deliberate disabling o

A shame. DPReview is hands down the most methodical and thorough review platform for digital cameras. I wonder if there's enough time to mirror the content on such short notice.

>"Is Aurora better?" This was back on Aurora 1 (based on MySQL 5.6), and setting it up as "slave" was identical to how one would go about it for regular MariaDB/MySQL.

I'm convinced that, too, is disabled deliberately, in order to coerce you into buying one more overpriced Elasticache instance to use as fail-over. This type of "funneling" design pattern is recurring across their managed pro

In my opinion there are better examples, such as how AWS' managed products are deliberately hobbled and handicapped to make it complicated to migrate away from them once you're in. Two examples that I have first-hand experience

Because of electrical current preferring the path of least resistance (the gold instead of the tungsten), and because of the Skin effect ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin_effect ), I suspect such a test would be inacc

Product description tells us that the gold plating is 1/16" thick (~1.6 mm), and that such thick plating of gold is necessary to fool x-ray testing. I don't know how invasive scratch tests are but I imagine the carving to be

The product description goes into detail of how to produce a fake gold bar and how real their product appears, and even emphasizes that it passes common tests for authenticity - chemical, weight, resonance and even x-ray. "Our gold-pla

Hence " _or_ caloric intake". The reality of my statement remains. Dairy products are an exception in e.g. Asian children's diets. Most Asian countries view the west's level of dairy consumption as gorging.

It isn't, but then again cow's milk and cheese shouldn't, and does not need to be, anyone's primary source of nutrition or caloric intake. The west's notion that children (and even adults) absolutely need milk every

Europe has had many brands doing decent non-dairy ice cream for a decade now - some products even being absolutely delicious - but this certainly looks like one step up the culinary ladder.

Besides the obvious reason of it being a brand new feature of the installer, one reason may be the "hassle" that full-disk encryption comes with. FDE isn't just "home directory encryption", which unlocks automatical
