As a software dev, I don’t think there really is a better way. One thing you could do to avoid this is to install a second drive and boot to completely different OSes. You could boot to a Linux drive for personal stuff, and only use Windows for gaming.
These gaming companies are pretty aware that they go bankrupt if they either get a reputation for abusing anti-chrst data OR are full of cheaters. They have some incentive to use data ethically. But it’s still a good thing to keep an eye on.
Download your data while you still can.
You can get an old version of the software without the features blocked.
Yet.
Advertise. And Geocaching is a great way to do it.
I’d recommend a post in the community encouraging people to put a url and/or QR code into some geocaches. Maybe with a sticky at the top of the community that explains what Lemmy is.
Consider the point of view of a person who finds the QR code in the geocache.
They can sell colors and themes as DLC! Cosmetics for your home!
If you can open it, they can open it. There’s not much of a point if it’s something you can undo.
I would make sure the firmware can’t be updated. Uninstall the Hue app for sure.
After they make the change, someone with an old Hue bulb should go to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Making this decision retroactive is clearly false advertising and anti-consumer. I don’t really give a shit what their terms of use were.
They can do what they want with their future bulbs. The old ones need to be grandfathered in.
They were gonna raise the rent anyway.
I’m excited for the push this is gonna give Godot. Wouldn’t mind it becoming the mainstream engine.
Yeah, that ain’t gonna cut it.
Which is kind of weird because most C# devs aren’t doing games.
Yeah, this will insure I never use Unity. But at least they can collect from their existing games.
That’s what bitlocker is supposed to do. It’s kind of the whole point of bitlocker.
This is me, laughing at your comment as a bald eagle clutching an assault rifle flies over and shits simultaneously on my head and the idea of public transit.
Is she just starting college? A relationship with someone who’s not at her school might be rough for her. I’d be forever disappointed if I didn’t have those life experiences.
Yeah, there’s really nothing wrong with a 50 year old dating a 19 year old. Age is just a number. There’s no power imbalance there or expectations. It’s perfectly healthy for the 19 year old to get into a long term relationship where their partner is going to be 70 before they’re 40.
Or, maybe, half your age + 7 is a good rule. It’s pretty lenient.
I was in M2-XFE. That whole experience certainly taught a lot about the power of narrative and propaganda. And the later blockade showed what leadership failures look like.
We always had the advantage in that blockade, and could have stayed there for another year had the allies stuck together. Or we could have executed real plans to break them and end the war. Instead we did the worst of both.
