You are stuck in the idea that the american warranty is the best version of warranties. It really isnt.

Wow, you mean you never used the infamously bad service because it wasnt a good service?

Wild, its almost like fetid rotting meat

Thats a fascinating dichotomy, but you do not need to pick between two common sense things.

Good, let them. Let every company take a swing, and let 2-3 actually get a serious foothold that survives as a real option, and becomes a reliable machine.

Theres only been 3 consoles for too long. I love that valve has made the steam deck into a computer console, and want to see more options and variations.

On that grounds, Im sure you could write or find a program to give you the ability to remotely brick your steam deck when it next connects to the internet

Our consumer protections are fetid rotting meat, my guy, what the fuck are you smoking

The other problem is that its literally not sustainable. Killing all of your working age citizens in a long drawn out war will end your nation if you lose, and will still cripple you if you win but take a while.

If they keep this death toll up much longer, russia wont have the feet to stand on its own.

I dont watch his videos at all and I knew he was retiring

The insurance company doesnt want or need to give you discounts. They are buying this data from companies like 23andme, after the professionals have indexed and prorated it. Telling the customer risks scandal, and buying from youmeans they need to process it in house. This back door pre analyzed data sharing keeps you in the dark, and your money in their pocket.

Med companies do not use this to develop the medication, they use it to change the price of existing meds based on your need. Diseases and disorders are not equally lethal. They are buying this data to get the information on how badly you need the drug, and alter the price accordingly.

They arent going to let anything stand in the way of their plans, they are already illegally collecting this information. More data makes this easier for them.

What the user prefers doesnt matter. Its what the investors prefer.

For users, the important statistic is tolerance. Find the point on the graph where you have the highest shareholder preference that allows the lowest possible tolerance of users before they break from the product.

If I am an insurance company, and I have data that says you are carrying a gene that is correlated with colon cancer, I can either raise the fuck out of your rates because youre a risky client who might cost me a lot of money in colon cancer treatments, or when you do get colon cancer I could refuse to cover it because I have a contract clause you didnt read that says if youre genetically correlated thats functionally a pre-existing condition and thus isnt a part of your coverage.

If I am a med company, and I know what your genes correlate with known treatable genetic diseases that become fatal or more serious to people like you with those genes, I can raise the price of your medication. You have to pay, because you will die if you dont, so I can ask for any price.

If I am a texas politician, who is already threatening hospitals across the nation illegally for your private medical data, I am salivating trying to get your dna. Correlate any gene, or suite of genes, with a population of people you do not like, and you can target them through this. "Prove" a genetic superiority to defend and promote eugenic ideals, while targeting your racial scapegoat at a genetic level. Look like one race? Well your blood says youre not pure, so youre next too.

These are only the obvious problems.

And specifically, something to be mindful of for games with server reliance. VAC bans happen on games with valve servers, so any multiplayer game puts you at the mercy of these systems.

Your op said that people are acting like they are making memes that would have been illegal to make a month ago.

No one is acting like that, theyre making memes to make fun of disney now having to see comics, movies, games, and shows with the mouse in it

When literally no one mentioned pc masteranything, and you accuse people of being peak reddit after comparing a random comment to a shitty community stereotype?

Yes, sweetie, thats rude.

Point? There is no point, its a joke. Its not a statement, theyre making fun of the mouse

I think the community downvoting you for being rude is completely fine bud

Warn? None of us bought the company there buddy

.... And this post isnt genuinely claiming that this meme was illegal before the first of the month. Its making fun of the change.

Its weird to say youve never heard of the 88 thing, as thats taught in history classes in the US, a country famous for shit education. In europe, loads of countries have laws against using it because of this.

Are you misreading everything on purpose?

I mean, fully digital isnt a massive flex. "Cash is king" is a saying for a reason
