I mean. For the majority geo blocking off anything except their main region would be fine ( whitelisting Europe for Europeans will be fine for the most part ). Especially if you make it opt-in rather than opt-out.
Though I assume they would likely just continue their hack attempts over VPNs.
Yeah I have an old email as well. I rarely log into it, but when I did I saw there are daily attempts from China and whatnot trying to log into it.
Not in the situation where the account is locked out though. I always wondered if you couldn’t reach out to m$ and ask for a geo block at the least.
I think you’re reacting to the wrong person as I didn’t make the NIH claim, but merely explained its meaning. :)
I think “Not Invented Here”. Meaning he wants to build everything himself from scratch despite there being alternatives he can use instead.
E.g.: Building your own httprequest library rather than using the existing one which is good enough.
Next up. We’re renaming dollars to x-coin.
I prefer the one where you randomly sort the array until all elements are in order. ( Bogosort )
To them it probably is. I’ve seen literal posts ( or GitHub comments - I forgot ) where they are raging their fps dropped from 420 to 370 with the latest patch and that the game is now completely unplayable!
They have a point complaining because the patch had a big fps drop, but the game is unplayable? At 370fps? Gtfo xD.
There’s people playing on a lot less than that.
I looked into that at one point, but 15$/month is quite steep just for that ( imo )
The fact the family can’t sue. They absolutely can (edit: in my opinion). Disney Lawyers believe they can’t ( edit: in their opinion). But wether or not they can is up to a judge in this case. And not up to Disney.
So saying they can’t is false until there is actual clarity.
Edit: that is my opinion of course
What could go wrong when you let an ad company dictate the browser standards/rules.
I know we have Firefox and some forks like librewolf, but percentage wise it feels like a lost battle ( even if I am on Firefox ).
If only people switched en masse to Firefox for the ad blocker. Wouldn’t that be something… One big collective FU to Google.
Oh well. One can dream I guess.
They can believe all they want. Unless it’s ruled and a precedent is set, the statement is false.
I hope people stop believing they have that kind of power, but decide not to do it from the goodness of their heart or bad publicity.
I should hope the actual law still has more relevance than a ToS.
That was something Disney Lawyers claimed, but was never actually agreed/enforced.
So it doesn’t actually hold any weight until a court actually rules on it.
If it’s too hard to protect, you shouldn’t have it in the first place.
One can be used in an airport/aircraft/train and the other can not.
One is fit for travelling and the other is not
But then how can we monitize our gamers if we can’t run at the kernel level and do whatever we want?
We’re selling games at an overpriced rate and putting tons of gambling and Mtx in our games. But this is unsustainable. We’ll go bankrupt at this rate! Just last week we had a meeting with the CEO complaining he couldn’t buy his fifth luxury boat because he had spent that years bonus on his 2nd aircraft. He said heads might start to roll at this rate to keep the company float. Where are we supposed to find the money to index 5% on the wages.
Some upper manager somewhere. Probably
We have confiscated all the laptops we could find sir. They had a TERMINAL open. Filthy hackers!
To be honest my steam Deck doesn’t go that far beyond 4h either on a single charge when I lower all the settings.
The .htaccess file does nothing on nginx though.
I guess they might lose customers, but the ad revenue will offset it. Which could be a win for them. Less cars to produce for the same amount of money. If they survive everybody else will probably just follow suit. Like the car functionality subscriptions.
I’m just sad we reached this point.
Ban targeted advertising. Ban data gathering. You won’t even have to deal with the f***ing cookie banners anymore.
This makes me so angry. It really really really really really does.
Despite setting everything to English I still get my receipts in French. And all because my IP is CG-NAT to the capital which is marked as french speaking.
What is so hard about letting me decide. The absolute fucking arrogance thinking you as a company know better than me in which language I would like to be served.
Eat a dick Microsoft.
