I'm sure a normal person would be in prison for running a scam like this. So will we see the CEO in the slammer?

I have to admit I've never heard a complaint about too frequent optional updates. Sure, if you are forced to update. But if your Calibre ain't broken then just skip the update?

I agree that most DB instances are grossly underutilized (or abused performance wise). But an "entire company" is a tad crude unit of measure when talking about optimization. Good point though. I've seen companies create a co

I'm going to read this as an attempt at sarcasm. That doesn't need to happen for the Charlatan Group to struggle. Most current hardware companies are dependent on the customer to renew their hardware every 5 years.

People might not be interested in P&T (I am though!) but this video involves Rob Pike and Dennis Ritchie, which is highly relevant to the HN crowd.

Was is a pre-checked checkbox by any chance? There's also a few dark patterns to confuse the user to check the box. Put it next to a "Accept T&C" and people think they have to check it. Or word in a vague way. I doubt it
