Musk is such a tool. He shut off access to Starlink in Ukraine because he didn't like how it was being used as a tool of war. Just how does he think spy satellites are used?!

Does any previous employee have anything positive to say about EA?

Well, to be honest, unless we believe in crazy conspiracies like EA buying reviews, their Glassdoor score is not too shitty at a 4.0 (the industry average is 3.6).
ll of the other snowflakes.
I wouldn't believe a Glassdoor review. At my job, we're encouraged to post positive reviews on Glassdoor. Generally around the same time they send 'anonymous' surveys with links that have warnings "not to share with anyone".

I suspect that the negative reviews either don't make it up there or get surpressed.

Your washing machine could be sending 3.7 GB of data a day.
Another home thermostat found vulnerable to attack.

Yeah, this is one of the reasons we're keeping our appliances and heating system as low tech possible for as long as possible.

Wow. That is...monumentally fucking stupid.

I know the KSP2 dev effort has been a clusterfuck of epic proportions to the point that it makes the original KSP dev effort look sane, measured, and reasonable but goddamn!

Who the actual fuck thought "Hey, let's store temp values in the registry" was a good idea?

Guess they weren't thinking about the problem at scale. Perhaps they thought "Hey, someone is going to play this for 2 or 3 days, realize its in a sorry state and never play it again."

Even though in game economies can be directly adjusted by the devs, inflation always takes root.

TOR has been a hot mess for a while now, they didn't crack down on RMT early enough.

Why would they ban the national spy services? It's common practice to ban foreign ones while protecting your own.
The point is none of the actors mentioned get warrants before collecting personal data, domestic or foreign.

As far as the "people who want to use TikTok know how to use a VPN" thing, you guys have way too much faith in the technological competence of the average internet user to have ever worked in a support function.

I agree. I actually lots of people have heard of a VPN, especially after COVID work from home, since they likely had to log into one to work. But I doubt most understand it can be used to avoid ISP and cookie tracking, and can be used to access geofenced content.
And really, who owns that VPN provider?

Doesn't matter anyway. I don't think the various app stores can geofence at a state level. It's not Montana lawmakers that make this kinda mistake, it's basically any lawmaker. Because most people are completely unaware of how the underlying technology works. All they care about is if they can stream Ted Lasso.

I cannot think of a worse use for a laptop than turning in it to a locked down conduit for Google to shovel their shit at you through.
Unless things have changed, there is no play store. So even if you install it, you'll end up using Linux to install apps. Better off to go the full Linux route and install Mint instead.

I bought it on Steam . Do they still offer a refund across services?

Very unlikely, but you could try Steam refunds anyway.
Depending of your time playing the game, worst case, you get a no.

Figured, probably not worth the effort. Besides, at least I'm supporting Steam/Kojima/whoever else has their hands in the pie.

If you buy an EGS game within 30 days of it becoming a freebie, you coud ask for a refund.

https://www.epicgames.com/site/en-US/store-refund-policy
"What if a product I recently purchased goes on sale?
You can refund your purchase for a full refund and immediately re-purchase the product as long as it abides by the above guidelines. We do not consider this to be refund abuse. "

I bought it on Steam . Do they still offer a refund across services?
