But I still need the website to actually download the game my point is if GOG went down I would be in exactly the same situationm I have no way to get another copy of the game.

So it isn’t any more convenient to me than Steam

I think that ship has unfortunately sailed.

Even if I buy a game on Steam I don’t technically own it. If the game was ever deleted from their servers and then I lost my local copy either because I uninstalled it or because I got a new computer, I would have no way to get my game back, and I doubt that Valve would refund me.

But some games literally don’t have physical releases, even if I did have an optical drive. So what option do I have?

The only real solution to all of this is a changing copyright law that says that once a piece of software no longer becomes commercially available through legitimate means it becomes legal to pirate it. But that would require politicians around the world to a, understand computers and b, not being 900,000 years old.

In that they are present at all.

There is also .io for the Indian Ocean territories. They seem to be fine with it. It is interesting they have problem with it. I wonder what the actual motivation is, because it can’t be due to a lack of viable domain for businesses.

We will have to wait and see what if they actually follow through.

They are big ones for making grand statements and then quietly backtracking later on once all the press isn’t paying attention anymore.

Well that and the fact that he’s 900 years old and probably thinks all phones are iPhones.

Oh, they are authoritarian enough. They just aren’t powerful enough.

Want to know what it looks like to go power crazy with no power, then go look at the Tories.

You need to install it?

It won’t carry over because it’s not a local play app but you should be able to install it the same way you did on your old phone.

It’s wrong anyway because the temperatures are high for the current time of year. Even the winter temps.

So with the northern hemisphere that means that they are higher than they’ve ever been before in the Southern hemisphere it just means they’re higher the winter then they’ve ever been before but they’re still high.

So it’s a confusing and non relevant distinction.

“Climate change doesn’t exist because of winter.”

A guarantee apple trying spin it into their own decision.

Making two separate versions for the US in EU market would be really expensive so I doubt it’s gonna happen.

Yeah I’m not sure how much of a danger long-term this actually represents. Sure, there may be more sophisticated AI attacks, but there’s also going to be more sophisticated AI defenses.

I don’t think it’ll be a new AI I think it’ll just be using chat GPT and then some prompts that cause it to be jailbroken.

Essentially you could probably get chat GPT to do this without having to go to this service it’s just they’re keeping whatever prompts they’re using secret.

I don’t know this for sure but it’s just very unlikely that they’ve gone to the expensive buying a bunch of GPUs to build an AI.

Doesn’t sound all that useful to have an answer with knowing the question.

Computer: Yes but only after 2:30pm. And on Tuesday, obviously.

Me: Er?

That’s why when they take air temperature samples they take multiple samples from multiple locations and they explicitly don’t put them under trees, behind shade, unusually high up.

If you’re standing under a tree resulting in a lower air temperature that won’t affect the weather prediction because the temperature isn’t taken from your phone.

Why don’t they just make a deal with a reputable meteorology group, and just use their reports.

So? Buy them from some Chinese third party manufacturer.

Suction cups count as specialist tools. They are tools explicitly for removing the screen of a smartphone.

Commercially standard means things like screwdrivers that can be used for any number of circumstances. Also pretty much every single repair guide involves a hair dryer so I’m not sure what phone you’re talking about.

I guess they are reducing the number of people it would need to support.

Also I need a new job.
