I can't remember firefox ever being included in installers for flash updates, antivirus, etc with install by default checked either. Perhaps Chrome did succeed mostly on its own merits, but it wasn't above techniques used by thing

Trucks used to be cheap utility vehicles with fairly basic mechanics, but they've turned in giant luxury land yachts with a price to match. They aren't even a good fit for a lot of kinds of work anymore. If we allow motorcycles to

Didn't they already figure this scam out with phone verification? You let the user signup easily and then rug pull them a week or so later forcing them to do the thing they would have balked at if it was an upfront requirement. Now the

I'm sure they sell your usage data even if you pay to opt out of ads as well so it isn't like you've even completely escaped by paying to start with.

So bizarre how web browsers and Windows itself refuses to stop eating vertical space when widescreen monitors have been the standard for probably 15 years now. Windows 11 went so far as to remove the ability to relocate the task bar to the

It is all over the place. The worst part is when you realize reputation is always a trailing indicator the only rational action seems to be to buy the cheapest one and use the saved money for the replacement. Basically, optimize your life a

They just want your government id. It makes their data set more valuable to advertisers. So the extort it out of you after you're partly invested in the platform. The security thing is just cover. That is why they often demand your pho

IIRC Rome actually had a pretty good system for this, where they defeated any large migrating tribes in battle (even if it was kind of a joke battle, a lot of them were fleeing from other forces that had already drove them out) and then dis

It actually sounds like if you claim to have ownership of the training data you can still use AI generated assets. For most people this is a distinction without a difference however.

Glad to hear it isn't as far gone as I've been led to believe, but the situation does sound similar to over here. Not using a smart phone increasingly gives you a second class citizen status and some companies even require it. I d

They wouldn't abandon the market, they'd just introduce a complying version for Europe like N or K versions in the past. That way they can continue to screw everyone else.

Mods extend the life of games, which means you aren't buying new games. I've don't think mods will ever be part of the cloud gaming scene. Cloud is the ultimate DRM. Need people to buy the new version of the game, even if it

Low priced ICE don't even really seem to exist and I think it is because they've essentially been regulated out of existence. Crash standards and emission standards require a ton of technology even on the cheapest cars so there is
