If they use a good, 12X bluray drive, it will be quicker to install from a disk than to download it unless you're lucky enough to have a good fiber internet connection. Even then, the servers you download from will often be overloaded and slow on release day.

Sure, you can still own digital media, but you can't sell or trade it like you can with a physical copy.

BSD works great on my firewall, but I'm certainly not going to run it on my desktop. The hardware and software support just isn't there yet.

Used cars are going to get much more valuable with all the enshitified crap they keep putting in new cars.

The easiest way to get lossless music is to buy a CD and rip it. Of course you can always sail the high seas too. 🏴‍☠️

That sounds like a good way to get rid of most of the users too.

They are probably failing to get enough users, so they will attempt to squeeze as much money from their existing users as they can before they go under.

There is potting compound with high thermal conductivity for things that produce a lot of heat. A YubiKey hardly uses any power, so heat should not be an issue.

The main downsides of potting are that it makes repair practically impossible and it can add a lot of weight if there is a large volume to be filled.

Encasing the circuit board in epoxy. It makes it very difficult to access components without destroying it. It's also great for water proofing and increasing the mechanical robustness.

For the price they charge, they should be made so that opening the case will destroy the contents. They could have at least potted them.
