Yeah I agree, it should have at least said something like "have reported service issues..." Of course the article makes that more obvious, but even the comments below the original article were filled with people who didn't read it.

And before anyone starts the discussion all over again... That's 70,000 customers who have reported outages on a single site, and is by no means indicative of the total number of customers who are actually without service.
Seems like it would never stand up in court. Prove that -I- agreed to anything. To do that, you first have to prove that nobody has ever created an account under my name, and more importantly, prove that Reddit accounts have never been hacked and that the person who clicked the button was even in my household. And if they keep that extensive of records to where they can follow every action taken by every user on the platform, it also implies that they are tracking my personal actions even before I agreed to anything.
On the other hand, do they actually have a EULA? It's been almost 14 years since I created my account, and there certainly wasn't anything about selling my data for AI training when I signed up. If they change the terms of service, they are responsible for notifying everyone, otherwise they can't claim that anyone agreed to these changes.
I'm sure their lawyers could weasel their way through it some how, but it still seems to come down to them claiming they changed the agreement without notification but the users should still be legally bound by the new terms?
Oh I've set up a couple of those at work! Their systems seem to be rock-solid (at least I've heard no complaints over the last few years), and their tech support is outstanding. Good luck with your new shiny!
Don't you wish... 😜
I actually still have some old servers with chips from that period, one of them is still being used as my firewall but until last year I was using others to run multiple VMs for email and web sites. Not as power-efficient but they do still work.
Is it really that hard to include a fallback though? Obviously there's a way to collect the information without that flag. I suppose if you didn't want to take a performance hitting checking the flag all the time it could become a compile option (I would think anyone running that old of hardware would be willing to learn how to compile the kernel anyway), but there should be options available to keep the support available some how?
Maybe this will convince more people to switch to linux.
I'm watching the show "Upload". I'm five episodes in and so far two people have already been killed by self-driving cars. Is this really the future everyone is looking forward to?
16.6%, but let's just be reasonable about this and round it to a nice even 15%.
Yeah I agree you can't immediately trust the star rating, and you really need to read through the reviews to find the authentic ones. Even the bad reviews can't always be trusted (I see a lot where folks complain about a product and go on to explain how their own idiocy or lack of knowledge led to the failure). I've actually noticed several lately that explicitly point out they were paid reviews so at least some folks are being honest about it. Usually when I read reviews I'm looking for more specific information, like when checking for a log cart recently I saw complaints that a small wheel size led to tipping. It would be nice if ebay had a more extensive and visible review system in place, but I'll take what info I can find.
Yeah that worked out so well...
