gila [any, any]

In my experience it’s just the shell and I/O, fingerprint reader etc that vary, if you need usb-c or HDMI out or whatever then look for the model numbers that have them, otherwise just buy based on specs you need, they’re 95% the same

It could so easily have been so much worse. I appreciate they made it weird. I don’t think it’s particularly good, but it’s interesting.

I advise using hypervisor versions. Practicing opsec is baseline self responsibility for people running cracked games of any description

Just that - it’s easy to modify purchasing habits and get a better deal today, so preserving access to that option is where the action is today. Unfortunately I don’t think we really are talking about amending or repealing DMCA than we were in 1998 besides grumbling about it online. The most likely path toward tabling that discussion being the new golden age of piracy that is upon us, but that is not practical means for everyone

Yes, but it’s also literally just cheaper to buy physical copies on launch. To remove access to the limited benefits offered by discs would still be a clear detriment to consumers

IIRC that’s been a known function of Edge ever since its redesign around 5-6 years ago, regardless of whether you’re signed in all URLs go to Microsoft in plaintext

It’s Microsoft that told them to make weird shit, that upfront profit isn’t a priority because it’ll add value to game pass. I just hope they don’t overcorrect

The preposition was that China would create cigs that are healthy

Lighting something on fire and inhaling the concentrated free radicals resulting from its combustion is fundamentally unhealthy

Definitely not the asshole. It’s not your problem that your job doesn’t have 100% uptime. Where I am we don’t have fantastic work protections or anything but at least we legally can’t be compelled to take our rest breaks in segments (or multiple breaks together at once). Unfortunately this sounds to not be the case where you are so do what you need to do to keep your job if you need it, but no way in hell should you feel bad. Hope you have better days soon.

It’s only quite recently that some countries have begun to start trading oil in yuan. It’s certainly not easy to circumvent the petrodollar system that’s been in place since WW2. For one thing, the US will start bombing you.
