The biggest problem I had with EA was that their client (EA, EA Origin, etc) operated like spyware. What will PIF, Silver Lake and Affinity partners do to monetize such client software, beyond games, that is pre-installed on 1 billion devic

This is a strong take. AMD's actual commitment to open innovation over the past ~20 years has been game changing in a lot of segments. It is the aspect of AMD that makes it so much more appealing than intel from a hacker/consumer

Three things need to change to reduce it: 1. Banks need to own the risk, not the customer 2. Banks need to spend to defend 3. Laws need to make organized fraud catastrophically criminal. There is a reason Singapore does not have this proble

It is right to highlight the fight for libre software that Stallman championed. The world would be a much, much worse place without Free Software. We own the obligation to keep the fight up. So many of us profit from it, and so many people
