7.500 is peanuts so good for him, and as he wrote a million streams because of exposure generates 1k.

Musk is the perfect example of why 1 person should not be so extremely rich and have so much power and influence. Scary.

I can't imagine the trillions of dollars it costs google to keep that Pentium Pro server running, much less the megabytes of data usage.
It's a wonder that Alphabet can stay afloat.

And the follow up they pointed everybody to back in 2018 Firebase Dynamic Links is shutting down 2025 or so...

I don't see a big issue with the employee count, 41 on hardware seems fine and a lot more manageable then 400. If your process is efficient and people are dedicated and don't just stay in their own little cubicle you can do a lot with a few.

Anyway I do wonder how many storage they use, I mean every single game, 1 month or 20 years old has to be available for as long as valve exists, even from publisher long since closed and games no longer on sale, do they do it themselves or use an aws or? Those costs must be massive? And do they pay for bandwidth?

The problem is, lately, they just ignore your options and give you irrelevant junk anyway.

That used to work. Now, not nearly as much.

Went duckduckgo a few years ago, took some time to get used to it but I found that I am using the !g at then of my search less and less and no longer miss or use google

Putting timers on items is like a red flag for children and then having them still available after the timer has run out says enough. But epic will appeal, tax payers money wasted on court and probably needs to pay nothing or very little. I know it does not fit the country I live in but at times I wished fines like that could not be appealed and simply have to be payed.

If this root kit really spy's or not seems no longer relevant, where a decade ago you could have thought a global economy would bring us all together it's seems we are going into a decade where it so called west (north america & western europe and to a degree japan south korea and taiwan) vs east (china, north korea and rusia) on the extreme, west trying to get the east out of there eco system, software, companies and trying to stay technolog ahead

Depressing tbh

Rushing something to capitalize on hype rarely, if ever ends well. I'd rather they take their time.

But that does not mather, all that matters is money and people that never heard of the games but love the show are easy.... my guess would be some generic mobil game asap.

That has to be one of the most pathetic articles I have read in a long, long time.

The problem isn't the headset, it's your relationship.

Sad part is that future generations will find it more and more normal to have this kind of relationship.......... watch TV together using SharePlay

Well that was clickbait, sorry. Xz is not part of the kernel, it only reached bleeding edge releases, not the masses, it affected ssh server logins and because it was opensource it got tracked down fast.

And of course its a wakeup call, on how far and how long someone or some entity is willing to go, this took a lot of time and effort to complete, first delivering bug fixes and getting known by the community, then slowly with little incremental changes over a long time setting it up, and that is the scary part. Imagine that much or more effort happening at a ms or some anti cheat rootkit developer.

The fact it was opensource helped tracking it down quite a lot.

I enjoyed EQ a lot from 1999 to I think around 2006 or so. Was in Raging Fury and Shadows of Doom, raiding with 72 several nights of the week and all nights after a new release to become server first or even world first.

If you died you had to get your corpese as all your gear was on it. Zones like plane of hate where you needed to go for your rogue epic, getting there was a pain, with some luck a wizard would drop your off, then solo in a raid zone to do your epic quest, knowing that if you died omg omg omg.

Amazing times but also scary as how addicted I got to it, so one day stopped colled turkey.

Tbh though it was longer ago then 25 years.

Played the remake a year or so ago, and tbh had a fun time, despite or maybe because of how close it felt to the original, so am interested in this one.
