If you're actually expecting people to transition without asking for help on a regular basis, you don't know people.

You just made yourself their IT guy for life.

There are a bunch of free channels on the internet that some TVs can just stream without a dedicated app. These channels are supported by ads like cable/whatever channels, but not locked behind a subscription. VLC is supporting whatever formats they use to allow (or make it easier; IDK) people to watch them if they want.

The other part is that they're working on web assembly to allow sites to use VLC as their embedded video player.

"Frankly, Kimmel’s fake requests were funny, but what he did was clear violation of copyright law,”

How?

Cameo sounds like work for hire to me. You pay, it's yours.

The scary part is presenting it as a fucking privacy feature with no consequences.

The US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), which is leading an investigation into the incident, said pilots had reported pressurisation warning lights on three previous flights made by the specific Alaska Airlines Max 9 involved in the incident.

As bad as it is if a manufacturing issue caused a piece to fall off an airplane, there's a huge amount of negligence in an airline continuing to fly an airplane that has triggered pressure warnings multiple times without investigating and resolving the issue.

They already fucking do.

They just pretend pre-roll trailers aren't ads.

Absolutely insane.

I can understand extreme cases, like some sort of disputed IP where their contact to sell the content turns out not to be with the actual rights holder, resulting in no longer serving the content (with an unconditional full refund). But past that they should be legally required to host the content until the heat death of the universe.

Imagine competition being a bad thing. Is anyone complaining that there are too many laptop choices?

Steam opening SteamOS to other handhelds would be huge, though. Windows is painful.

Suits like this should permanently get everything you own, including subsidiaries and parent companies, placed in the public domain immediately.

reportedly cost the studio roughly $42.6 million dollars to make, with a net profit hitting over $49.7 million. Approximately $7 million past the breakeven point,

That's not what profit means.

Their complete butchering of the basics makes it really hard to take their analysis of cash flow seriously.

"Selling shares before the announcement" was a pretty egregious misrepresentation. He has scheduled pre-registered sales on a regular basis because he gets paid partly in stock.

It was always going to be relatively soon after a sale of stock.

Yeah the matching donations was the obvious answer. It's honestly a decent way to do charity as a company (obviously bigger ticket contributions are good, too), because it rewards them for their choices by increasing their value, and your contributions are going places that have some support behind them from your employees. Finding worthwhile causes that don't get money has value, but it's really hard and expensive to do.

If real people hate your game because of the changes you made from the last one (that you took away from them), that's not a review bomb.

It's just a review.

It can definitely be done.

But when all the actual experts who do it every day are telling you "fuck that shit; it's too much work", it's probably a pain in the ass.

Steam doesn't enforce anything. They provide a very weak opt-in DRM that they literally tell developers they should expect will by bypassed. There are plenty of actual DRM free games on Steam.

People use Steam instead of GoG because Steam works and provides a wide array of value adding features and GoG doesn't.

Opt out is not acceptable under any circumstances. It's not your data. It's your users'.

Sending a single bit back without an explicit, uncoerced opt in should be illegal.

This isn't "his doctor". It's an independent doctor making an evaluation for the purpose of determining if he's competent to stand trial. It's not private.

Nintendo can't get emulators that actually are for the primary purpose of bypassing their restrictions (even if doing so on legitimately purchased games is perfectly legal) shut down, and this company thinks they can close a fucking reader because it's possible some people might use it with pirated copies of their IP?🤣

Payment processors have a functional monopoly and should not be permitted to refuse or otherwise be punitive to any category of purchase.

Anticheat.

The casual friendly hyper-monetized nonsense that needs to install malware to "ensure fair play" (or sell loot boxes and spy on you) doesn't run.
