We've strayed so far off topic. Try to get a handle on your fanboyism and you might be able to see this discussion more rationally. Why do you feel the need to justify your purchase in public and talk about how great the printer is? Ba

And their freedom to bar people from connecting to their servers is orthogonal to their bullshit legal threats aimed at the developer.

Who's pretending? If I share something with everyone for any purpose except one specific purpose that's endangering my project's existence that's not "pretending". And even that's overstating it because th

No "buts", this is an extremely common trend not some one-off example like you tried to claim. Other databases are already funded by cloud companies, predate the cloud, or they're too niche to bother.

I accept that some people find him too abrasive and not everyone is going to like his style, but that doesn't make his content "drama and outrage". It's legitimate annoyance and anger at the state of affairs and calling

When you care so little about consumer rights that you see advocacy as just "drama" then what are you if not a mindless consumer, in the most literal sense? This story is at the heart of everything that's wrong with consumer

90% of his content is about advocating for consumer rights like ownership and repair, most of which is documented and sourced on his wiki [1]. If the only thing you see here is "drama and outrage" then you're not the target a

Your off-topic remarks about Bambu printers and their replacement parts tell me that you didn't even take the time to read what this story was about. In the same breath you're accusing Louis of "manufacturing outrage just to

What's the point of this pedantry? Replace "monopoly" with "dominant market player" and their point still stands. A company doesn't need to be a literal monopoly to engage in anti-competitive behavior. The EU w

I'm afraid it's far less enticing. The usual offer is "To continue playing, pay $0.99 or hit AGREE to share your internet connection with Legit Services Inc." And that's assuming they're nice enough to ask at a

The code may run but it's rarely idiomatic. For example they almost never define functions inside the struct/union/enum namespace unless it already exists and follows that style, i.e. I expect "foo.bar()" but they m

All I'm saying is that it's an imperfect but reliable workaround for archiving your games. What other choice do you have if the game is only available on Steam? Of course in an ideal world it would be available in a true DRM-free

99% of games that use that sort of protection can be cracked in about 5 minutes by simply copying a steam emulator library into the game folder.

Practice taught me that that "should" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here and it's often not the case, even across long time periods (years) that should allow competitors to emerge. For example I calculated the cost of a sol

The good news is that some of these harnesses (like Codex) use sandboxing. The bad news is that they're too inflexible to be effective. By default these shell commands don't have network access or write access outside the project

There's a direct business incentive to game/cheat benchmarks, it wouldn't even be difficult to do, and besides, they have workforce-replacing AI to do it for them.
