There was a story about them deleting accounts with games, followed by articles saying it was only for accounts with no games.

So it was a non-story back then as well?

People going mad about this and it’s complete non-issue.

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.

Yeah everyone else can see the sentence as it is. It’s just an instance thing.

They’ll be out in six months to a year and since it takes them forever to achieve anything I wouldn’t worry.

If you’ve got to have a right wing fascist government hope for an incompetent one.

It prevents any website being able to run intercepts on pasting. This is good when they’re using it to just prevent you from doing it for no real reason but there are many situations where you don’t want a user to be able to arbitrarily just drop text into a text field.

The big one is 2fa. A lot of the time you might need to enter a five digit code and each number may need to be entered into a particular box if you just click in the first box and press paste after copying the code from an email then it’ll paste the entire contents into that one box. You don’t want that you want some code to automatically paste each letter into each subsequent box, that requires you intercept the original paste command.

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.

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.

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.

It wasn’t great for a halo game though.

What an earth would be the point in going to uni if you can’t drink?

I have a lamp and that has an LED that is on all the time.

Why would a lamp have a permanently on LED? That’s what I get for getting cheap crap from China, rather than premium crap from China.

Which will work fine right up into your phone explodes. You don’t punch a pinhole to deflate bulging batteries you replace the battery. The bulging isn’t dangerous in and of itself, the bulging is a symptom of a problem you are ignoring.

They are also held to account under GDPR.

Any site that does not explicitly block European users has to comply with it in case they have some European users.

I have looked into it but since they want me to “build” it and it seems to involve typing a bunch of code I don’t understand I’m less keen on it.

Hopefully there will be a straight up app sooner rather than later, and I can download that.
