use your proprietary software in the OS you are allowed to use. Not seeing the issue.
The OS they are able to use is Windows 10. They likely don't meet the TPM requirements to update to Windows 11(as if you'd wanna use it anyways); so when W10 goes EoL, they will be SoL(shit out of luck) on getting future security patches. Which is y'know, bad, especially on the machine you do actual work on.
Okay, and? What do you want us to do about it? Those companies are never willingly going to become cruelty free, and the government will never force them to while the ~~bribery~~, I mean, lobbying continues.
The only way these companies will go cruelty free is if people totally stop buying non-cruelty free products, which again won't happen because most people can't afford cruelty free products.
I look forward to Christmas every year so I can finally get new socks. You might not be super rich, but you're certainly not poor, either.
Exactly. They need to put up or fucking shut up at this point.
I'm confused why this surprises anyone. The Insomniac Spider-Man games haven't made their way to Xbox, why would you expect this to?
The DA and Principal are likely related, same last name. I'd bet this isn't the only incident between these two, with the principal setting up the targets and the DA knocking them down.
Yep. Also noticed that the principal that called the police and the DA refusing to drop the case have the same last name. Garza isn't that rare of a last name, but it's not exactly "Smith", either. I'd bet good money those fuckers are related to each other.
Piracy? The game is free?!
At the end of Streetlight Manifesto's "Keasbey nights" when one of them says "it fucking stinks in here!"
Another problem with physical media is games are quickly becoming, and often already are, bigger than a disc can hold. Even a dual layer UHD-Blu-ray is "only" 100gb.
At this rate next gen consoles are gonna have to follow Nintendo and go back to cartridges if they wanna keep physical media an option. Not that I'm opposed to that.
You could "acquire" a pdf version of the books.
In the case of business's, liability reasons, real and imagined, mostly prevent just "switching" OS's freely.
In the case of home users, think of how many people you know that have a windows computer. Now how many of those people can you confidently say could install ANY OS, let alone handle setting up Linux or bypassing TPM requirements for W11?
Personally, out of the hundreds of people I know with a windows computer, I can count on my fingers how many I'm confident in being able to install an OS. Most people are really not tech savvy. They will just ride it out with no security patches until it becomes Jenn's laptop from the IT Crowd, and then they'll chuck it in the garbage.
