Yeah, I've gotten sucked into HSR as well (first f2p gacha game that's ever hooked me), and I can't imagine having time for another game like it. The daily content isn't really any trouble to do, but having to do that for multiple games would get old fast. And the monthly content drops can be really substantial and take a long time to experience all the content.

Sounds like Play Music All Access subscribers are safe for the time being.

Probably just not big enough. Pokemon-like games are very common, palworld was just hugely successful and a lot of the media coverage for it was comparing it to Pokemon.

Having a usable product while your opponents continually shoot themselves in the foot is a viable market strategy.

No, I straight up had two different installation media's fail until I went back and shut down windows fully. I've never run into that before on an install before.

First I tried ZorinOS, and it would fail to even boot into the live environment. I tried multiple times and even made a new install media. Then I tried fedora silverblue, it would get into the install environment but couldn't do any kind of partitioning etc to the drive. I then rebooted to windows, shut it down fully, and tried again. This time fedora could edit the drive partitions, and zorin could load the live environment and install.

Previously I've had issues with shared drives being locked by windows, but this was the first time I've ever had an install fail because windows wasn't shutdown fully. I don't usually dual boot these days either though (I was setting up this computer for family) so I figured maybe something had changed with newer versions of windows or device security.

Make sure windows was shut down all the way. Normally when you shutdown windows, it only hibernates and it locks it's partitions to prevent editing. I tried installing Zorin for a family member recently, and it couldn't install until I booted back into windows and shut it down fully.

To shutdown fully, in windows you need to either hold shift while clicking the shutdown button, or open the run box and run the command shutdown -s -t 00

New drugs get a period of time where the company that developed it has exclusive manufacturing rights. The idea is that if anyone can start making the drug immediately, there's not a good reason for companies to spend money to develop new drugs. However if demand for a drug is greater than the ability of the creating company to produce the drug, other companies are allowed to temporarily step in and make up the difference.

No, because apple's monopoly doesnt count because they're upfront about it being a monopoly.

Which is stupid, but that's how it works apparently

It's not like the current group of users is perfect either. There's a lot of circlejerk opinions going around, and I've seen being get majorly downvoted for posting factual info that went against the "hivemind" opinion.

Windows is absolutely abusing their position as the dominant OS to push their other products. The number of "no don't do that" messages and pop ups when trying to install chrome on a windows computer is clearly anti-competitive, and the only reason microsoft has been getting away with it is because Edge/etc hasn't achieved enough market share.

Right, but in my case I'm not actually a customer of the local electric company that offers fiber. However pressure from them got my telco company (the only choice I have besides satellite) to offer me fiber, raising my max speed from 3Mb/s to 1000Mb/s.
