When are they going to retire this tactic?

The US military should just take it over. Twitter (x) hiding reports in search results, then Starlink that is turned off all the time. Elon just plays to the highest bidder, and has no morals.

To play a game without buying it need to be cracked, or in other words the security in place needs to be hacked. In the olden days you would borrow your friends game of a copy and place a no-cd hack on it, so that you could use it. With online security this was more difficult and people had to make a new crack to let the drm think is was connect to the server and all was oké. Most companies bought DRM software from third party developers that got implemented into the games gold release (the version that goes on ace or store). To remove this DRM cost time because the game and assets need to be recompiled without this DRM system, most of the time even braking some checks.

So as a solution here and not spending time on development time, to just a piece of software from a “pirate” group. Although most of the time the group who made the crack never distributed the game as a torrent, some third party groups made bundle torrents where at one go you had the game and crack.

Indeed it’s mostly for safety, active aero is difficult to keep in check as demonstrated by this static rule bending years. F1 is a part of technology advancements but just as space it should be done in a safely manner.

Not that I don’t like the idea of a mind blown fast F1 car, all for it. And I think everyone had goosebumps when seeing an Williams from the 90’s moving it suspension in the garage. But we’ve also seen to what all of that let.

Yeah the Union is a big one for me, my current employer is also like that. “Hey guys you can share your voice here and speak open about it…” Yes, that’s the problem, it’s open and not really anonymous so what can we talk about. If you can open talk about everything, you don’t have to fear unions.

Madison replied today on X (twitter), haven’t figured out yet how I can copy the link, but a quick search for former LTT employee does the job at the moment.

We can’t blame the companies completely, Netflix was having to much power and profits. Spotify for instance is still at a lose, and so are a lot of music streaming services. Netflix was very comfortable and starting to make their own content, promoting that content and not sharing the data with the studio’s.

Secondly consumers are not the smartest bunch and signed up immediately when HBO and Disney+ came to the market, not understanding that it was at introduction price to lure people away from other streaming services.

So people had the chance to have a more centralised streaming platform for tv or film, but some like to brag that they watched it already some weeks before anybody else. Plus most countries had a lockdown, so people needed entertainment.

Well then he shouldn’t have given a buyers recommendation. Some of Linus video’s don’t make any sense, like everyone can install a swimming pool at the back of their PC? Those balls to the walls videos are still the most fun to watch, as it’s original content, and maybe something they should stick to more often.

But don’t give a buyer recommendation about a small company, if the testing is done in a bad way.

Well Linus argument doesn’t hold much water. If the product is so fundamentally flawed in his mind, then why even bother with it? If you as a reviewer can’t even give a proper opinion and spend an other 500 dollars on it, to give your audience a good review. Then don’t spend the extra 1000 dollars or more in editing that video.

His looking at views to show his sponsors, but forgets that the audience is the first thing that generates those views. Still a viewer of the main LTT channel, but Shortcurcet was fast out of my subscription list.

And as a non English native speaker, please don’t but the corrections on subtitle height, it a hassle.

Adobe can’t even make a good competitor, with Xd they’re still years behind. After they by Figma they can get back to being lazy and do almost no upgrades. I was happy that Adobe was struggling, we finally got to see what happens if they need to catch up or listen to the users.
