Again, this should not be news. These "game platforms" (read: desktops whom are sold but never convey ownership), assume anti-enduder at every step of the way. It was surprising MS allowed 3rs party anything at all. This is why we

This is definitely a "consult lawyer" question. My guess is they already have done so. And frankly, this is just business. This is part of your compensation. Keep every cent you can. You owe them nothing past the terms of the agre

And I'm glad I ONLY have the "free" 15GB plan. Even getting 8GB of images is stupid hard. Either you get lossy, lose EXIF, Takeout doesn't backup, etc. And to think people have 1.5TB of data in that roach motel? I would

It was pretty much complete luck, on both our sides. Neither of us were looking for relationships, or sex, or whatever. We've never done any dating apps. We met literally in the Starbucks line. Conversation started up, we both had time

Tell me about it. The more it happens when I see an "unpopular Apple Criticism" here, almost makes me think that they have an equivalent of the 50 cent army. Its a little too questionable here. Then again, it's VC's who

That's not true. When you make a HS, it is announced in the Tor's dHT. Now, it is true that the scope of the v3 dHT is limited, it is not 0. (And more specifically, Tor is a 6-4 mixing network overlay with dHT DNS.)

To answer that, you have to understand what cell phones came from. Prior to the major smartphone push starting with Apple, cell phones were horrific devices that charged $5 per ringtone, apps were $30 or more and only per provider, no tethe

Thats a no-brainer, really. In the US (assumption of location), we have nearly no social net. We pay 30+% in taxes, but little to show for it if we lose jobs, or dealing with horrific jobs. And with the spates of homeless arrests, even slee
