Businesses make decisions based on money. People make decisions based on vibes.

Look I want to hate on overwatch because they definitely destroyed that one in pursuit of money, but that Torb at the end sitting with his turret and getting potg hit home hard.

Probably still won't play, but right in the feels man.

Maybe they can bring it back to fun.

But that's not a burner phone, that's an off phone.

How's about a patent that expires 5 years after its first use by a billion+ dollar company? 5 years after it is used in more than 10,000 products? 5 years after its licensing has yielded over $1M in profit? 5 years after spending over $100k on advertising? 5 years after your first major court settlement?

I think there are ways to protect individual innovators but also lessen patent abuse

It's a poor analogy, but imagine a public IP like a hotel, there can be lots of guests (clients) at this hotel. Hotel policy is they won't let any outsiders in unless you know the room number (port) of the person you're trying to reach.

Imagine you and a friend are staying in separate hotels and want to give each other copies of your favorite Linux .ISOs, but neither of you knows the other's room number - you show up at the hotel and the front desk tells you to pound sand because you don't have their room number.

As long as one of you knows the other's room number though, you can meet.

Torrenting without port forwarding means you can only trade your favorite .ISOs with people who have port forwarding enabled (sharing their room number to the tracker), which makes you less effective of a seeder. Enabling port forwarding allows you to share with anyone (sharing your room number with the tracker).

All of the banks I've used in the past utilize email or SMS for 2FA, which isn't the most secure, but doesn't require an app.

California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed a law, AB 2426, to address concerns over "disappearing" purchases of digital media, including games, movies, music, and ebooks.

Sure, there are risks, but if the alternatives are pony up $100k for a new exosuit, or just don't fucking walk again, I see why repair is an enticing option.
