“In my game” It’s inappropriate to generalize personal observations .

"online check" in this context means online license / entitlement check. There's also a "network online" check that you can disable in the settings.

Thanks I’ll look into that. The past few months I’ve had really suspicious downvoting so I’ve been suspicious.

Not sure why I’m getting downvoted. It’s true, and on topic? It’s also relevant, with all the discussions about owning your own media. Weird.

i’ve tested it , that’s how i found out. If you run your dns it’s easy. Set licensing.xboxlive.com to 0.0.0.0 . The entitlement only lasts a few days. If the online check fails and…

If you are offline, it will work for a few days that’s right. If you are online, and the rights service is failing, it will revoke your key. The trouble is, you would have to know …

Every modern media disk since DVD has had revocable DRM . That means you have never owned the disks. (Only Audio CDs and laser disks were owned digital media). With games, a synchr…

it only takes a concerted group to convince the rest (I'm talking about history not virtue).

don’t think of it as a setback, imagine the opportunity

Read about revolutionaries, they really don’t care who they eat. Be prepared to be involuntarily labeled a boomer

it's a sort of inside joke about google cloud cli being > 1gb , because they include a python distribution and a bunch of third party deps . so i'm glad to hear that this app can s…

There doesn’t have to be a statute that says “ you can’t raise your price more than x %” . That’s what common law means. The judge determines whether the contract between them was …

common law. and both the registrar and the gtld have american entities you can bring to court. otherwise they wouldn't be collecting revenue.

Not exactly. We’re a common law country, and there is an implied covenant of good faith. It’s for a judge to decide if this price change counts as good faith. OP should file a comp…

App Store ratings unfairly favor positive reviews. The App Store makes it more difficult to view negative reviews or older, relevant ones. I’ve written a number of targeted low rev…

let's hope google cloud can use it to reduce their cli install size

Even peasant Civil War soldiers penned more expressive letters than Ivy League graduated journalists do today, so the source was even more broadly experienced. But you’re right abo…

Possibly, but some eras are better than others. And given the volume we are producing, even at 2% it should eclipse all of the books you read in high school. Despite the volume, it…

I’m more worried about the lack of writing . Far too much time is spent reading other people’s ideas. And very little of what has been published in the past 15 years has been worth…

Are they less than 700mb?

I used to think that good governance made good policy, but I now realize that it’s used to justify the people making the policy. So all that really matters is picking the right peo…

The fundamental blind spot engineers have had with every authentication protocol for 30 years is forgetting that trust must be mutual. The lone exception has been phishing preventi…

call it a boot loader or whatever you like, the system that helps you diagnose boot issues.

Lack of proper IO connector is the reason I abandoned Raspi. SD card crashes are nearly a guarantee. Total pita too since there’s no display during the BIOS.

I hope you have auto pay disabled
