IIRC the EU also ruled that burying the rejection options under additional links counts as a violation. Hence why Google now has a Reject button next to the accept button. Most sites still do that.

Steam News : Refund Policy Update

I find it surprising that existed. Not an unreasonable change.

For the lazy, when a game sold "advanced access" as part of a pre-purchase; game time before release didn't count to the 2h refund limit. So you could play eg 10h of a game, then refund it on release. This is them fixing it.

iFixit: We’re Ending Our Samsung Collaboration

Starting June 2024, iFixit will no longer be Samsung’s designated third-party parts and tools distributor. Also starting next month, we will no longer have a quantity limit of seven Samsung parts per repair shop per quarter.

Wow that is quite a limit Samsung. I can see why no one would want to be a partner with them. (Which was obviously the point.)

The scrapers are not actually an ai, they are just dumb scrapers there to get as much textual information as possible.

If they have to do Anubis tests, that is going to take more time to get the data they scrape. I suspect that they are probably paid per page they provide, so more time per page is less money for them.

It's all allocated, but not all those allocations are for routing on the internet. Eg private ranges, localhost space, multicast, experimental ranges. Unfortunately you can't repurpose those ranges as there is already kit out there that is hard coded to treat them a particular way.
