The best way is to change our communities, even if that takes time and money.
I agree. I do wish they would use replaceable batteries outside the EU, where they are mandated, though.
Even if that were true, Nintendo is better than most companies, which will use deceptive practices wherever they are allowed, even if they have to pay to maintain multiple systems and configurations.
So, most C++ code I have seen in my forty years of coding.
If I am unable to play Minecraft any longer because I have to buy a shit ass XBOX, I will never buy another piece of software (or hardware) from them. My $5 in 2009 came with a guarantee I would have access (and free…
Can you share more information? I just looked at their Wikipedia entry and they spent 2018- basically doing acquisitions. What were they layoffs you were thinking of? It's hard to find historical data from 2016. And…
My gaming machine is isolated and well protected through firewalls in and out. I don't store any sensitive information like payment information on them. Why can't I choose when to update them? Let me use my thread model…
> I check for game and system updates on my Deck before and after a session and it just takes a few minutes at most. Right, that makes sense if you have sessions often. But, the thread started with automatic updates…
It's also why I always opt for 2FA that's within my control: a security key, TOTP, or an email address on a domain I own. That last one is the weakest, since I own the domain as long the registrar says I do but it's…

Only because stores that have large parking lots are in cheap land areas that are hard to reach by bus, bike, or anything except a car really. Where one can comfortably walk to a store, giant parking lots are awful.
Do most American's have an Amazon delivery every other day? It's not what it feels like where I live, but I might live in a part of the country unusually avoiding Amazon. While I see an Amazon truck every day, they…
I agree the ship has sailed but I have no desire to make it easier for people to spam me or social engineer any of my accounts. If they want to send some crypto to some stangers on the internet to do it, I can't stop…
I am glad you want the world to know your phone number, but not everyone does. Since we still use SMS as second factors (or primary, as some in this thread said they don't write down passwords but just use password…
And if you use an untrusted sync like Google Drive, you can enable a keyfile and never let that file lane on Google Drive.
But the phone number you have is not 100% in your control. I had AT&T flub something and I lost my number and they assigned me a new one (I was chanting my plan just after they did some merging with someone). Granted…

These days every company uses tech in some way. If the bar is "uses tech" then every company is a tech company and the category is meaningless. If you asked a layman to name tech companies, would Disney appear high in…
If you are going to include a speaker's child-naming prowess as a factor in assigning value to an opinion, you might as well just flip a coin, go with vibes, go with the one that matches your biases, or all three. When…
If you are talking about LinkedIn, I don't know how universally they are considered a tech company. Is any company that does its core business on a website a tech company now, even if their innovations aren't tech? NY…
That's the reason I don't have an id.me account to check my IRS account. I just use their guest login to play my tax bill quarterly. Not sure how I will pay my taxes once they nix that.
Not your key, not your crypto. => Not your key, not your data. Why would anyone want to encrypt their data and then hand their private key to anyone is mind boggling.
You met some odd Emacs users. Every Emacs user I have met is a strong proponent of personal computing and crafting tools that work for the individual. It's true that some have a hatred of software that removes users'…
That is not my experience. I had Claude add a variety of useful functions to my init.el as well as refactor it for easier maintenance. I now have a more useful to use and pleasant to edit init for it.
