Except it isn't. On average you can make a couple bucks extra on each person.

But if they don't try to double dip, that's a couple bucks left on the table, and that's worse than death, apparently.

Nevermind that by trying to double dip they lose money in the short run, but if they can push the standard practice towards it even half a step, that's fine.

It's one of the few things corporations seem to be able to see the long view on.

Using the voices of real people who did real work with them, with a real agreement between studio and actor, and paying the actor even when lines are generated, is exactly how it should work.

Promising. Not that I trust game reviewers to do a 3D RTS that hasn't had an entry in over a decade, justice.

Steam isn't the one delisting the games, that's still up to Sony.

Also creating a PSN account as a citizen of an unsupported country by VPNning or fake addressing your way to it is against terms of service, and can result in your account getting disabled.

Piracy is unfortunately the best option here by far.

Microsoft furiously writing down the lesson: shut.... studios down.... to.. boost... reviews. Got it! Thanks!

You're comparing apples and oranges.

The speeds you mention are defined by the memory type, not the connector.

As far as I can tell, there is no reason this connector could not, and won't be, used with more advanced memory types. Including the type in apple silicon, and beyond.

Good. Did I claim otherwise?

I approve of both of those options. Personally I simply find the AUR the most convenient community driven way to install software.

I have no idea. I think the claim is that as "arch is unstable", the delay allows them to make sure none of that "wild instability" makes it into Manjaro. But as far as I can tell, no such checking occurs and the delay is just a delay. I got into the habit of putting off updating because more often than not it meant an evening of timeshifting and troubleshooting.

But arch isn't really that unstable. On Endeavour (endeavours main repos are just the arch repos, they don't maintain their own) I update whenever my system notifies me there's new stuff, and the possibility that my system won't boot afterwards doesn't really cross my mind anymore. I still run timeshift, but I haven't needed it yet.

In fact, if you really want stability... Unless you need some upcoming security update, bug fix or feature, you can just keep using your system, only installing things when you need them. There's no real reason to impulsively install updates the second they are available. My system doesn't even check for updates more than once a week.

Then, if my system worked yesterday, it will do say today. And unless I decide to change something today, it will do so tomorrow too.

In that sense even arch's stability is "customizable" because you can voluntarily reduce how often you risk breaking something, while at the same time running a system with still more recent packages than most other distros.

Well the deck only gets updates once Valve decides they're good to go, and it's immutable so there can't be edge cases where system packages don't play nice with something user-installed.

Something similar is true for arch in general, package updates go out once they are good to go, and more importantly, when something really breaks, the fix comes in fast.

But manjaro tries to fix something which isn't broken by delaying arch updates by two weeks, meaning you sometimes gets stuck with broken things, waiting for the fix, or get updates that install versions of things that don't work together.
