And yet the listing would still probably say “near mint condition”.

Usually age has the opposite effect, but I hear they make pills for that.

See, now I’m interested!

Generally the person who recorded the music would have a performance copyright on that recording. This is often sold, licensed, or otherwise given to another group to distribute that recording such as through CDs or streaming. That same performance can also frequently be licensed for use in videos, commercials, public displays, etc.

If the campaign purchased a license from the distributor to play the recording at a public event, there really isn’t any consultation with the original artist. Hence, an artist’s music being used for something they do not agree with.

If they did not purchase a license, that’s when the lawyers are unleashed.

Playing games on the couch: normal. Playing games with the couch: weird.

But then how will they upcharge you for additional storage or push you to their monthly cloud storage solution?

Can’t go calling yourself the greatest country in the world forever, eventually you either need to put up or shut up.

Mate, I’ve had users who were sharing an account that only some of them had MFA prompts for. They didn’t bother checking who had initiated the prompt, they just approved it because it was easier. And that was while they were fully awake and thinking…

To set a scene, you awake in the middle of the night because your phone is making noise. Blearily you unlock it, glance at a prompt, and then approve a login and fall back asleep. The intruder now has access to your password manager!

They attempt to log into your bank and drain your life savings, but despite having your password it sends another prompt to your phone. This time, you wake up enough to realize something is wrong. This time, you deny the prompt.

The entire second paragraph cannot happen if your MFA is a single factor. Don’t store MFA in your password manager!

Is paying for something for someone else not gifting?

Thor from Pirate Software has a great video breaking down how Steam works and the lawsuit that claims they are ripping off consumers. It’s very educational.

Of course, there is no requirement to use Steam. Game makes can publish their game themselves without a platform at all, which very few do. If you say they actually need a platform, there is the value they are getting for that 30%. If they weren’t getting anything of value, then they could do it themselves and benefit instead, which most do not.

Not really, were used to good things getting banned.

Comparatively speaking, it’s safer than coal mining. Wikipedia Nuclear Accidents by Death Toll

I disagree.

• XP felt like it was mine.
• 7 felt like it was mine
• 8 felt like they were trying to force something on me.
• 10 felt like they were pushing bloatware like a cell phone. At least l could remove some of that?
• 11 feels like they decided it’s their computer, I’m just renting time in it by watching ads. You could remove half the programs by default and I would not miss any of them. Do I need a version of minesweeper with micro transactions? No!

If it’s your sign you may do as you please with the sign. Displaying it in your yard may be less straightforward, as it may no longer count as a political sign and fall under a local sign or art ordinance. Probably.

Funny thing, even if you do that you can be prevented from initializing the device. You get a “this phone was reset in an unusual way, sign in to the original account used for setup” message the may or not hint at an email address. I’ve got a stack of them on my desk from former employees that I’m trying to get back into. Pain in the ass for business, good for consumers.

I had this same thing happen when I tried to sign up years ago. There is no way around it, there is no alternative. The only option is to send them pictures of your ID, which is in the “hell no” category on my to do list.

I wouldn’t trust them, might steal your face!
