Really will never understand people who won’t vote (at least when its not super inconvenient like it can be? I think it can be for some idk)

I do feel like it was a blunder having Joe run again though.

Can’t find a video, gonna assume it’s the video explaining this? Anyways found this article which was very cool to read: https://awesomeocean.com/guest-columns/natgeo-photographer-seal/

(Guessing its the same thing)

It didn’t sound like a big deal, but somehow you just instilled in me an existential dread of having no teeth to enjoy solid foods when craving some.

Maybe if you wear headphones(?) like most people, then you might not get bothered or whatever (so if you really don’t want to be talked to, wear headphones or go late?).

Honestly though, it’s kinda nice when every now and then someone asks for a spot and you have a nice small interaction, but maybe that’s just me cuz it forces me to face my social fears.

True, but that won’t stop them from acquiring more data so they can squeeze more out of you.

Anything to make them more.

Maybe my examples would’ve been better for other industries, but yeah, I think this will happen everywhere if we don’t stop it.

And fork you if you don’t do it because you don’t wanna be the “parent with a kid who has x”.

Wish we could have someone who’s real.

The future we are headed towards if we don’t start caring about privacy and where we hand out our data.

Obviously Playstation has their own data, but stuff like this is gonna start being way more obvious in other places because they can so easily buy data on you through data brokers.

Websites you visit saying they share your data? Yes they sell it and it’s directly going to have an effect on other parts of your life just like this.

So you won’t just “pay with your data”, you’ll pay with your money too in a less direct way (prices on other sites shooting up because x website sold your data to y and they know you need this product so they price gouge you).

Not only will this occur for gaming stores or web shops, it can become a thing in banking (maybe they give you a worse interest rate on a loan, etc) and worse.

Long live Steam & GOG in their current moral states.

Airlines are the worst example of this that I know of.

It’s not just the rich they will target.

They (including everyone) will and do use this technology along with data they harvest from you (from other parts of your online life) to make you pay as much as you can to get things you need.

If it works for you, there’s no reason not to keep using it.

If it looks like an upgrade in performance and simplicity and you think it’s worth swapping, then you could consider it, though personally I’d wait until it’s a bit more mature/proven (maybe it is already idk).

They mentioned the early days when it comes to licensing games to us.

But dont mention that in the early days of multiplayer games it was us moderating our own online communities, not the company selling the game.

I’m unconvinced anyone will really legislate this,

The Eurpean Union sort of has it’s head on when it comes to addressing consumer rights, if they legislate this, then the entirety of europe will likely benefit (even those outside the european union like the UK, examples of this have happened before if im correct, see windows 10 1 year extension for eu).

and if it is, it’ll just lead to that country being scratched off the list of where the game is officially supported.

No it won’t. Maybe if it’s a country with no internet and doesn’t have a population interested in gaming, but any major country like UK, Germany, etc enforcing this would force the hands of game publishers bevause these markets are just too big.

No publisher is going to pull out of the UK for example.

Realistically, we need to stop buying online only games where the servers will eventually go offline, and support those that release open servers.

I agree. Unfortunately most people are unaware or have no backbone so they keep on buying the next “big” game, nevertheless I agree, we need to stop supporting anti-consumer behavior instead of defending it.

Likely and I’m skeptical of their (amd/intels) management software running directly on our processors too, though unfortunately there is nothing we can do about that until we can use open source chips like RISC-V (which wont be any time soon).

Do you know if anyone has ever been able to verify the backdoor exists and is taking our info/spying for definite? Ie has seen a packet with suspicious origin/destination with data that wasn’t manually sent anywhere leaving their network?

tl;dr we can’t do anything about amd/intel management backends possibly spying, but we can do something about microsoft very opening spying on us (alternatives exist).

A separate backup NAS would better than nothing. If losing your data would be a disaster, then don’t overlook backing up your data in a separate location (either at someone elses house or use a cloud backup provider like Backblaze) incase of a fire, etc.

Cloud or any way to backup your data in another location is greatly preferred to having another NAS in the same location just as a mirrored copy of your first.

Also I’m scared that this person may be risking their github account by posting this, I dunno if it’s legal to “distribute” apples website code yourself. If not, best hope they dont ban your whole account.

Just to save on wasted bandwidth for the client (and your server) is why I would disable them.

Yes, I’m sure every one is glad their tax money is being spent on drafts and debates on laws like this. Great job…

I don’t like where the world is headed with these new laws.

If you regulate or ban this type of stuff I think you just end up with sexually frustrated people who instead of watching their porn (which has become outlawed), now go find someone to enact their will on forcefully.

That’s just a theory of mine based on zero facts, but just what my brain has powerfully concocted.
