Ah, essentially they are selling office desks to start-ups who don't need them anymore post-covid. Sounds bulletproof to me /s. I think that many fast-growing start-ups have decided that it's cheaper and safer to work from ho

What does WeWork actually sell? I mean... what is their source of revenue, or is it just dumb me and it's my own fault that I don't know that?

When do we start crypto-signing original content? If big-tech does DRM to go against piracy, why won't creative commons at least try to do the same, as for the sake of origin attribution?

The bright side is, when Google really pushes through with this WEI nonsense, it will not only break the Web, it will also create some kind of premium Web run by Google, analogous to gated communities. And then the worldwide Internet ad mar

Publishers want to make money. Game developer studios under contract with publishers only get a share of the revenue. That's why big publishers found their own or buy game dev studios to... <drum roll> make more money for thems

Ubisoft: Ubidead Does that also include console copies I wonder? I have blacklisted EA/Origin and Konami already, now Ubisoft is entering the list. Do not support money-milkers.

Yes, you're right. I meant, users who choose to opt out are more competent users (or just more paranoid) and might sooner understand what telemetry means and/or does. Usually, and I am assuming, competent software users tend to ha
