Another reply in the comments here posted what they claim is a snippet from some sort of Patreon Discord server. It looks like for reasons unknown (probably financial) they have outsourced their security to "a number of external organi

I'd say this is to appeal to parents, who buy Minecraft and authorise associated micro-transactions for their Minecraft-playing children. It's a much easier sell if MS can "guarantee" that little Timmy won't hear ba

You might not be able to get a Framework here (yet), but ebay is FULL of ex-business Thinkpads that are almost as easy to refurb and cost <$500. Hell a lot of them are new enough that you can still get genuine parts for them direct from

When we say "supply chain issues", what specifically does that mean? I keep seeing this being used as the new catch-all explanation for everything, but I never see it clearly defined anywhere and I'm very curious.
