>Attacks requiring physical access to a victim's computer/device, man in the middle or compromised user accounts

I love how they grouped man in the middle there

This PC, not My Computer

My as in My[crosoft] Computer

such games can only get private servers

Yes, but those are rarely a thing for most live service games. Unless someone is working on a reimplementation of the entire server side, there's no point in offering or downloading pirate copies.

There is - albeit a dwindling - community that does reimplement entire backends for mmo games. Look up the ragezone forums. I grew up around Mu Online private servers. And I'm sure in time a private server for HD 2 will appear if arrowhead don't release one themselves :)

Wouldn't that be insider trading?

No: SoftBank bought Arm in 2016, then refloated in 2023. They have good lawyers and a lot money.

This ram price spike is literally part of the currency debasing

Why does everyone pretend like prices are not post-pandemic gouged still?

Absolutely prices should adjust appropriately… once… oh never mind

Same with Apple

Apple wasn't a name change, though: that was its name from the beginning. Slightly different situation. (Yes, they changed their name from Apple Computer Company to Apple Inc. once they started making smartphones, but that's not the same because the part of their name that everyone called them, Apple, was kept unchanged). Their logo was always an apple with a bite out of it, their first computer was the Apple I (first one of theirs I ever used was the Apple II)... they really leaned into the name, and made it part of their identity. Which isn't the case with Alphabet or Wise.

>I don't understand how it's legal for companies to name themselves as common words like "Alphabet". It's not only confusing, it's arrogant as hell

When I said Apple I was referring to this part

Your error was arguing about the tax invoice being a bill. Corporations don't like when you argue. Don't matter if you are right or wrong.

craft the blades onsite?

They're giant single-piece layered composite structures. Crafting the blade onsite means you have to build then unbuild a giant plant next to each wind farm.

You could transport your plant in a huge airpl.. nevermind.

> Lundstrom says 3D-printed blades will never happen, since it would require a large, sophisticated manufacturing facility to be built at every wind farm.

I assumed this was already being done for the massive offshore models. Setup some kind of minimal plant on shore so you minimize transportation to the boats.

Is this for paid accounts too? If you prepay for 5 years and get lost at sea for 3 years, should you expect your proton to still work?

It's for free accounts, only.

All that watercooler chat, network effects and so on, how do you log it in the time tracker? Or is that unpaid work?
