At some point the price becomes the selling point. Cognac became hugely popular among US rappers and basketball players because they would go to a nightclub and order the most expensive bottle to show off.

It was actually worse until they open sourced their drivers.

Valve also needed to break its dependency on Windows, in case MS decides to go down the walled garden route like Apple. MS making the windows store the only supported way to install apps and games would be devastating for Valve.

StarCraft 1 and AoE 1 shouldn’t require internet, I bought them close to release day and I didn’t have the internet back then.

“se planter” is yet another meaning of the word, it’s slang for “make a mistake” or “have an accident” (usually involving a vehicle). E.g.:

My guess is that they have to make deals with each country’s music industry association (RIAA in the US, SACEM in France,…) which can take time or fail entirely.

Deezer is French.

I thought this was about recall but no, there is a second keylogger in Windows lol

Step 4: Toggle the switch off under Getting to Know You. The keylogger is now off.

Well that’s not creepy at all…

IIRC that’s the whole point of luxury car commercials during half-time breaks. 99% of watchers can’t afford one, but the ad is there to remind the owners of that very fact.

On some machines PC games actually run better under SteamOS than Windows but sure, use the inferior OS if you insist.

I have a really hard time understanding how he considers any of that a problem.

Very important step you missed: be scouted out by the financial elite early on, then have them groom you every step of the way.

100dB high-pitched guitars, relentless double bass and shrieking vocals at a black metal show: total bliss.

My kids when they yell out of excitement: unbearable.
