I really hope the order of events is the actual order they happened in because the escalation is perfect

Nothing but respect for anyone that old who can change their mind when they're wrong. It's easy to fall into a rut of stubbornness.

Prigozhin sobering up early is one of history's big disappointments.

I remember insiders saying that he was scared he'd get shot even before it happened. Wouldn't be surprised.

Even if you turn it off the radio is still powered on and scanning in the background (wifi too), unless you specifically disable that as well. The battery drain is negligible

People grant kernel access all the time without thinking. Video game anti-cheat is a good example. It's a pretty potent vector of attack since you can never trust these companies to keep themselves secure.

Figure skating is a dance. Hell, gymnastics is basically a dance as well.

I think the most realistic alternative is to just have an 'earliest end-of-life date' plainly visible at the time of purchase. Keeping these games online forever isn't feasible, but shutting down something people paid for with the expectation of continuous service isn't good either. Just make it clear how long the developers WILL support the game for, at the very minimum, and let people make their decision based on that. And mandate refunds for any live service game that doesn't last as long as promised.

If this was a "Trump idea", why didn't he do it while president?
