I think that's a really good idea, let me know if it works!

That is done because of a game publisher, not steam.

The reason they hold most of the market share is not because of bad business practices it's because the opposite. People use their service cause it's the best.

The gov only considers a large business a monopoly if it's doing anti competitive practices to maintain or grow it's market share. That description in no way fits steam or valve.

Absolutely agree, that's why when I saw the patch notes for this latest Microsoft update I was like "They don't mention why this is dangerous other than Linux can be used by the haxors". It definitely just sounded like a way to crunch down on Linux use.

And like you said, I already allow Microsoft and riot and probably others I'm not thinking of to just have complete access to my computer so it's not like I have any privacy, for security I can always check out potential issues myself with my pen testing laptop, so there is literally no benefit and only a ton of downsides to upgrading. So why would I?

This weekend the upgrading and updating ends for good, and I will get my dual boot Linux whether they like it or not.

10/10 law can we please get this in Canada too?

I am planning on just disabling windows update medic service and keeping my current version of windows 10 that still allows dual booting to Linux.

Once Valorant stops working on that version I guess I'll have to just only play deadlock from then on.

I love how this article takes shots at steam despite valve being THE company holding the bar up in the gaming space.

I could list examples but I honestly don't even think I need to

I understand your point now

Isn't A/C a huge power consumer though? And because most lights are led now, except for northern countries the day time would be higher energy use right?

I don't understand why we are not putting solar panels on every surface possible to be honest.

I would say we can agree on your later points.
