There are games like "Control" that are guaranteed to be dead in 5 years max as they're glorified remote play solutions. The game is playing on someone else's computer and streamed to the switch. So the bill for that computer is paid by new sales like a Ponzi scheme. No more sales = the dev turns off their servers = no more playing

Netflix updated the credit with his name? Thought they would ignore it until S3 as they would need to pay an editor to fix that.
RIP VMware.
Broadcom prefers to milk the top 500 customers with unreasonable fees rather than bother with the rest of the world. They know that nobody with a brain would intentionally start a new datacenter with VMware solutions
i mean hosted on github, bandwidth/compute paid by microsoft
You download the iso from microsoft.com then if the watermark really bothers you, get massgrave from GitHub (also Microsoft)
Nowadays getting a pre cracked copy of windows is a security issue, also don't work really good as many times is the enterprise version tied to some online KMS that would 100% go offline someday
this bit about "reporting unknown quantities of data back to hp" let me remember a "cool" feature of the printer. HP takes back the cartridges for free, even sends back the recycling company at their expense, but then the fine print says:
The HP cartridges used with this product contain a memory chip that assists in the operation of the product.
In addition, this memory chip collects a limited set of information about the usage of the product, which might include the following: the date when the cartridge was first installed, the date when the cartridge was last used, the number of pages printed using the cartridge, the page coverage, the printing modes used, any printing errors that might have occurred, and the product model. This information helps HP design future products to meet our customers' printing needs.
HP collects a sampling of the memory chips from cartridges returned to HP's free return and recycling program (HP Planet Partners: www.hp.com/recycle) .
The memory chips from this sampling are read and studied in order to improve future HP products. HP partners who assist in recycling this cartridge might have access to this data, as well.
nice data exfiltration program!
wow i wish in my country there was a company like this, with those prices
only thing the telemetry is used in this printer is nice graphs on the app, but the same can be done locally from the embedded web server at the printer ip address
LOL meanwhile even if I have a 4k monitor I still choose 720p to save space and have quantity over quality
It really surprised me that they're based in Italy.
Between all the Western countries it's the stupidest one to base a VPN company. The management risks prison time for little gain, why not Cyprus or the Caribbean like anyone else? Open a shell company in the Bahamas and still operate from Perugia if they really like to live in the Italian countryside
Italy is a country controlled by copyright trolls, for an Italian citizen using them as a piracy VPN is an insane idea, why not just be unprotected at that point?
It's almost like choosing China or Russia as base
From the article it looks like zfs is the perfect file system for smr drives as it would try to cache random writes
Wow, this sucks.
Not for this app because anyway it looks like it's not working on Android 14, but because shady apps can reliably track installs, uninstalls and so on.
