My point was that it’s one of a very short list of free top-level domains, and was likely chosen because it was free and didn’t have the same reputation that, say, .tk had.

I doubt that was literally their intent, it’s just a free TLD

Lowe’s uses a customized Linux distro for their department terminal computers. Most of what you do is in browser or terminal applications, if genesis is still in use.

Because Microsoft isn’t responsible for every program that runs on their OS.

CrowdStrike is an EDR that enterprises choose to install. The bug was caused by a dodgy content bundle update, which is something that’s meant to be 100% safe but evidently they found and triggered a bug.

But, eventually exploitable is still a pretty major concern for anybody who has systems running longer than a few days at a time.

I think where valve went wrong was not requiring specific minimum specs. It led to a very inconsistent and hard to support platform.

Steam deck leading to a standard “steam device” hardware platform with consistent OS and hardware is my dream, but I know their goal thus far has been to refine steamos and release it for OEMs to use on their devices.

Massgrave is a tool that can create legit (oem) keys for windows and office out of thin air*

• it’s not literally creating them from nothing, it’s using a system Ms themselves run to get working keys. Evidently they don’t have a huge problem with it.

It’s not unheard of in folks who are in software dev because they love the repetition and routine. Farming is pretty similar to programming a computer, just with tons more manual labor.

Umami has been pretty good to me. Plausible was a close choice but I ran into technical difficulties getting it going.

I didn’t get around to trying it, but goatcounter looked promising as well.

Classicube for that simple block-building itch

Classicube is pretty sick

It was more common for commercial discs and some consumer discs to have the data layer sandwiched between the bottom surface and label layer, especially later in cd/dvd’s heyday, to prevent tiny scratches on the label or sharpie marks from destroying bits in the data layer.

Cinavia! Allegedly it’s still around and mandated in all consumer Blu-ray players.

Plex has been good to me but I grow ever more concerned that they will drop lifetime Plex pass features as they become more focused on being a provider of media and not just a streaming middleman.

Nintendo made no legal demands nor threatened to sue any involved party, their letter just formally requests that dolphin wouldn’t be published on steam.

The Weeknd

The lifecycle would continue. Xchat to ychat to hexchat to dodecahedronchat…

My gut feeling is that that is apples entire game plan with the Vision Pro- seed an expensive version of the tech, then refine it with what they learned into something leaner and significantly cheaper.

I could be wrong, but given the current price point that’s my guess.

They make a lot off of paid repositories and enterprise contracts, id be shocked if they had to enshittify it

A gun would help stop those witches from flying in the sky.

I may be taking this analogy the wrong way.
