Since when do you have to link your phone number to your Steam account? I've had an account for as long as Steam has existed, and I've never been asked to provide my phone number.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but this is the way I understand it:
HBO Go was intended for cable subscribers. You needed to log in with your cable credentials.
HBO Now was for people who wanted HBO Go but didn't have cable. Due to agreements with various content providers at the time, HBO had to launch a second service to accommodate these people without breaking any agreements.
Warner Discovery Channel Bros. buys the HBO brand. New agreements are made, allowing HBO Go and HBO Now to be combined into a single app, now called HBO Max
Warner Discovery decides to rebrand the app as just "Max", regrets it, and here we are today.
I grew up with a a Windows 3.1 machine, so for me my game selection was Chip's Challenge, Miser Mind (MasterMind), WinTris (Tetris), Atmoids (Asteroids), and JezzBall. Oh and SkiFree of course but somehow I never played it.
Chip's Challenge was my favorite. To this day I still haven't beaten every level.
This is objectively untrue (I see that you didn't watch the Nakey Jakey video I posted earlier in the thread).
There was a mission in GTA 3 where you were supposed to assassinate someone. The game wanted you to wait for them to get into their car, follow them for a bit, and then take them out in a secluded spot. What smart players did instead was simply steal the target's car, rig it with a bomb, and then return the vehicle before the target even noticed it was missing, killing them instantly when they started the engine.
Try to do something similar in GTA V, and you'll fail the mission for "leaving the mission area". Older GTAs didn't give a fuck how you accomplished something, so long as it gets done. In V you have to do everything exactly how the devs intended you to or you fail. I miss having the freedom.
You can still stream it; just use a modded app like YouTube Music ReVanced to block ads and the artist's record label won't get a penny from you.
(Unless of course Google pays royalties by view count rather than ad revenue. Not entirely sure how that works. Just wanted to point out that YTM ReVanced is a thing)
I messed around with Linspire in the early 2000s after seeing a segment about it on The Screen Savers (on TechTV). It was about Microsoft suing them for originally calling the OS "Lindows", so called because it was among the first OSes designed to attract people who are used to Windows.
I believe that it was among the first distros to induce the concept of app stores to Linux, and since I couldn't figure out how tar.gz files worked at the time, it sounded like a good idea to me. Used it for about a year or three, before moving onto Ubuntu for many years then eventually Arch.
And now I'm back on Windows again because I bought an HDR display and learned the hard way that Linux has terrible support for it. Can't get the HDR intensity slider to work properly in KDE, and there's no SDR-to-HDR conversion at all in Linux, which means no AutoHDR and no RTX HDR. So in the meantime I'm dual booting Win11 and Arch, but I find myself using Windows more and more because it's HDR support keeps getting better and better, especially if you have an nVidia GPU.
The whole benefit of sous vide is that you can completely forget about the meat—even leave it for days at a time—and it will never overcook. Just take it out anytime, slap it on the stove for a quick sear, and get a perfect medium rare every time.
As someone with extreme ADHD, this is why I always sous vide my steak. Reverse sear is slow, yes, but there's still a chance to forget about it and let it overcook.

Don't act like you've never slapped the top soil before. Or at least a bag of Miracle Grow.
