It sounds like a pretty poor solution, but then we haven't meaningfully innovated on the internal combustion engine for how many years?

Hobbyist myself so no worries! Git is one example of source control / version control software. You normally have your local working copy of a repository and then a remote where you push your changes when they are finished or to share them with others.

What makes you think a server was involved here? It was a local repository, evidenced by the reporter's bewilderment that files can be deleted without going to the Recycle Bin first. Which tells us that in addition to VCS, they were unfamiliar with Windows as well.

That's definitely fair, creating a repository in a non-empty directory could definitely suggest auto-committing the current state if it doesn't already. I don't use VSCode so I wouldn't know.

Although now that I think about it, that could have been the intention here but not automatic, if that's why 5k+ files were staged without the user explicitly staging them. Extra tragic if that's the case.

It's changes from the prior commit in the repository, which, if they had not committed anything prior, would have been an empty directory.

This is perhaps a good lesson in teaching version control as its own concept rather than "streamlining it" by bundling it with an editor.

I had to double-check that this fucker was actually even an attorney

Razors are a high theft item so I believe the argument is this style of packaging makes them harder to steal

Then that pretty much defeats the purpose of physical media, people will be out in droves angry that they can't play their new games offline or have to day 1 patch, etc

There's no perfect solution here.

people play games prior to release all the time, the major issue here is streaming it. (and uh directly antagonizing nintendo didn't help)

We know. It wasn't funny.

When you distribute physical copies of games to stores, I don't think it's really practical to prevent physical copies from getting taken inappropriately 100%

5 to 7 honestly. There needs to be more pressure on companies to actually execute on their ideas instead of sitting on them for years

No. When you copy an image like that you're copying the image data to your clipboard, not the file.

There is a slightly more expensive family version of NSO that you can add up to 8 users to

Socks and shoes. I can't find anything big enough for my clown feet at retail.

Russia has the propaganda machine that got Trump elected. I'd be (pleasantly) surprised if their citizenry was able to meaningfully resist

Please be advised, this is an article about a Tucker Carlson segment which doesn't provide any additional info or context of its own

Not that I disagree with you that they are becoming more prominent, but I think we are also definitely still in the aftermath of 'election time'
