I don’t see how the DMA would cause this other than Google preemptively setting themselves up for malicious compliance. The whole point of the DMA seems to be to give users choice not take it away.

This is about Revanced, isn’t it? They failed to kill it via the YouTube backend so now it’s down to lock down the os and browsers as much as possible to keep feeding people the juicy ads.

Straight to jail

Very thorough answer, thanks!

I agree trains are generally safer but I’d like to know more about the data. Are those just base death chance statistics (e.g.: 100 people die from train accidents every year compared to 3500 from cars) or deaths/km travelled?

Luckily you can upvote all three

Baggage handlers are not paid by the bag

The difference is availability of choice. On apple phones, Xbox, Nintendo, and PlayStation you are locked into a single source of software. On a PC there are myriad of game stores you can choose from. Sometimes you can even buy the software directly from the developer. Usually people are upset when this choice is taken away (for example epic exclusive games). Nobody would bat an eye if a developer offered their game on epic or their own platform with a ~20% discount compared to steam. But it is up to the developers to make their game available on any of the PC game stores.

In conclusion, steam is not a platform holder, they could charge whatever they wanted. If the markup was too high, you could simply choose to buy your games elsewhere. For most people, this 30% is worth it for the features and buyer protection that steam offers compared to other platforms.

Saturation slider go BRRRR?

Looks both promising and sketchy at the same time. Have you personally tried these? How’s the ANC?

Only if I don’t run out of blinker fluid.

I think that’s one of the dilemmas of westworld. William starts off as you describe: peaceful, not really wanting to hurt the hosts at first. But he’s kind of like a fish out of water. To me it seems heavily implied that the only ones able to afford to go to Westworld are the rich psychopaths who exploit their own environment for personal gain. And we also get a look at how William turns out by the end…

150 GB for $30 a month seems like a pretty bad deal…

It seems like the opposite: fission triggered by fusion

Made me chuckle

Where do you think KFC comes from?

$100 seems like a stretch to me as they have been giving the last game away for free several times on Epic. But who knows with the console crowd…

Yes. You can buy handguns for a couple of hundred dollars. For a few thousand you are able to buy much larger, more capable weapons like modern assault rifles or designated marksman rifles/sniper rifles. You could buy a small arsenal for 40k.

My favourite “innovations” ought to be the lack of an instrument cluster so you have to look at the tablet for your speed, the steering yoke, and putting the indicator controls on touch sensitive buttons on the steering wheel.

Lol

But I would have made Turkey into Mexico probably. Or maybe Spain… Italy is Florida for sure.
