I’ve tried a few college treats like Hot Pockets and found they are really terrible. I was a bit ashamed that I could have possibly enjoyed something that bad. The upside of shrinkflation is that you actually may have had great taste, it wa

“In my game” It’s inappropriate to generalize personal observations .

"online check" in this context means online license / entitlement check. There's also a "network online" check that you can disable in the settings.

Thanks I’ll look into that. The past few months I’ve had really suspicious downvoting so I’ve been suspicious.

Not sure why I’m getting downvoted. It’s true, and on topic? It’s also relevant, with all the discussions about owning your own media. Weird.

i’ve tested it , that’s how i found out. If you run your dns it’s easy. Set licensing.xboxlive.com to 0.0.0.0 . The entitlement only lasts a few days. If the online check fails and you’re otherwise online, it gets revoked . Nearly all DRM

If you are offline, it will work for a few days that’s right. If you are online, and the rights service is failing, it will revoke your key. The trouble is, you would have to know about the outage first and go offline before attempting to p

Every modern media disk since DVD has had revocable DRM . That means you have never owned the disks. (Only Audio CDs and laser disks were owned digital media). With games, a synchronous right’s check is made every time you insert the disk

it only takes a concerted group to convince the rest (I'm talking about history not virtue).

it's a sort of inside joke about google cloud cli being > 1gb , because they include a python distribution and a bunch of third party deps . so i'm glad to hear that this app can ship smaller packages

There doesn’t have to be a statute that says “ you can’t raise your price more than x %” . That’s what common law means. The judge determines whether the contract between them was upheld in good faith. Now if the contract says “every 5 yea

common law. and both the registrar and the gtld have american entities you can bring to court. otherwise they wouldn't be collecting revenue.

by tonymet 3mo ago
Not exactly. We’re a common law country, and there is an implied covenant of good faith. It’s for a judge to decide if this price change counts as good faith. OP should file a complaint and let a judge decide.

App Store ratings unfairly favor positive reviews. The App Store makes it more difficult to view negative reviews or older, relevant ones. I’ve written a number of targeted low reviews (for security, hostile UI, crashes – sincere reviews

Even peasant Civil War soldiers penned more expressive letters than Ivy League graduated journalists do today, so the source was even more broadly experienced. But you’re right about this one aspect.

Possibly, but some eras are better than others. And given the volume we are producing, even at 2% it should eclipse all of the books you read in high school. Despite the volume, it’s nearly all garbage from what I can tell (at least what ma

I’m more worried about the lack of writing . Far too much time is spent reading other people’s ideas. And very little of what has been published in the past 15 years has been worthwhile. Better to encourage more people to solidify & a

I used to think that good governance made good policy, but I now realize that it’s used to justify the people making the policy. So all that really matters is picking the right people to make the policy . In this case, you seem to have a ro

The fundamental blind spot engineers have had with every authentication protocol for 30 years is forgetting that trust must be mutual. The lone exception has been phishing prevention with user-selected avatars, and that didn't last lo

Lack of proper IO connector is the reason I abandoned Raspi. SD card crashes are nearly a guarantee. Total pita too since there’s no display during the BIOS.

A helpful guide, but usb c usability from a consumer standpoint is atrocious. From the specs it runs so many modes, PD (at various power levels), classic 5v , alternative modes. Sadly, there’s no way of knowing which mode a device or cable
