They did, but you only need that to play windows games. You can also use wine or play native Linux games.

A solar powered blanket, in Scotland? Wouldn’t it be more cost effective to just spend that solar panel, charging circuitry and battery money on extra padding for a blanket.

I think I will continue to not own a printer.

Should have done a valve and allowed selling anywhere but require price parity. Now from their greed there will be financial incentive for people to use another platform.

Ohh is that the proper name for them, found it on eBay very cheap. Ages ago I was annoyed at tin openers but tried one that should stab through the lid and then lever through. It broke within a day or two, it was rivited together and they failed.

Think I might just buy some, also a more practical size for taking out and cooking over a stove.

Not when I am done with it. From having to support them before I am so glad I don’t own one.

Work harder, Europe and China need their cheap electronics.

I support the use of AdNauseam. Not sure if there are any more extreme alternatives, I now choose to be actively hostile towards advertising/tracking rather than just passively blocking it.

What do you mean, like a humans name? Pretty sure it doesn’t. I can get one with cash and top it up with cash. Until pretty recently this is what I did. Pricing changes mean I now pay £4/month instead which would be tied to my card.

But you aren’t allowed to mention Luigi

So basically Windows in S mode?

Yeah guess I don’t really care for most of it. Can get anything I want as an apk or mostly just on fdroid. VLC and an SSH client would be nice.

That is people you might already know, not people you might like to get to know

How easy is it to degoogle Android? Don’t currently use Android or iOS but dumb phone options are getting pretty limited these days.

If I got an Android phone I would probably be looking at something second hand because fuck paying 3 figures on a phone. I know I wouldn’t use data at all, call/SMS SIM only. I guess another option is not needing to degoogle it as it will never talk to google once I have finished downloading maps of the country for OSMand and a few other apps. Then it can be on Wi-Fi to allow communication with my PC over LAN but don’t allow it access to the internet.

If it never touches the internet after setup I guess outdated OS doesn’t matter too much.

A platform with so many people and that knows so much about them, if they really wanted to slap AI on it why not an AI matchmaker for making friends?

Want to make it profitable? Sell activities through it. “Meet a potential friend and go bowling, click to buy your ticket”. While FB siphon off a bit of profit on the ticket sales.

I live in one where refusing to decrypt it for them results in a 2 year prison sentence.

And yes, if you forget you will still be charged.

On a home PC, what for? The only data that really matters to be encrypted is my keepass database file. Giving the option is fine but I don’t think it should done without asking the user to choose.

Might do but you can always go until you find it too hard and then go back to one that you like, or use custom to set a difficulty that you like.

Also tried playing it with extra people before, so far just 3, 1 with the bomb and 2 with manuals. But playing with a few more could also be fun, maybe even set them up with a phone each and stick each team in a different room.

They keep telling us the cloud allows us to scale. Ok, but why must everything be on it? Surely you could use both. Get our own hardware and if we have a flood of new customers stick the extra ones on the cloud server for a while. It’s all just VMs anyway.

Keep talking and nobody explodes could be a fun one, only needs 1 device and the other player needs the manual which can be on a phone or printed out. You could even play it over a phone call.
