Can someone explain me what's the business model of an app that's free for three decades? They claim to have 100 devs, how can they pay them?

Google did this just because they're nice and not because they wanted to slurp all those tasty archives for their ai models for free

But at least since it was stolen, the backup was hosted for free on the hacker forums /s

it's always good to have bike racks, but installed like this would completely block the sidewalk when a bike is parked 😕

Edit: unless this is just a useless corner that just leads to the back of the store.

I read that the outside glass breaks by itself when used as a paperweight https://www.macrumors.com/2024/02/23/apple-vision-pro-front-glass-cracked-reports/

at the same time they're allowing any tld to who's willing to fork $100k per year. So just sell the management of the tld

The actual reselling is done by a shell company that disappears and reappears with a different name when hit by lawyers.

This website just gets referral money from each sale, they're not selling the grey market keys

Or.... just copy the text that you want to print in libreoffice and print from there

Moreover, I don't understand why HP is wasting lots of server processing power for this. If someone prints one page instead of 47, then they can downgrade from the highest plan of their ink subscription with 100 monthly pages to the lowest cheapest plan with only 15 pages. Maybe they plan to include a page with sponsored coupons in the printout?

Many shopping sites are based on woocommerce, which is an ugly hack transforming a blogging platform in a store.

Like if you take a school and made it a supermarket with all the goods scattered on the desks in the classrooms.

Sucks at performance and sucks at search.

Deal breaker, it should be one time fee

And the best part is that while the key is valid, the license isn't, so technically you're paying for a pirated app

(Explanation: those keys come from msdn or from a Microsoft partner action pack - they activate and look legit, but are licensed only for development and internal testing for that company)
