It only applies to steam keys.
A steam key is the receipt that you paid for the game. It is ridiculous that companies get to skirt laws by saying, “It’s on a computer.”
Imagine you buy a car. Years later you go to resell it for less and the manufacture claims you can’t because the sales receipt that proves you are the legitimate owner is a “Steam Cars Inc key” and therefore all existing laws do not apply.
monopoly laws they violate
A monopoly is holding a large marketshare. It is a label determined by courts. That the marketshare is from consumers picking the product is irrelevant to being declared a monopoly.
In the late 90’s Windows was the overwhelming market leader for OS’s because the alternatives weren’t good. Linux didn’t have good consumer focused distros and was therefore used on servers. MacOS at the time was still cooperatively multitasked like Windows 1.0 from almost 20 years earlier. So Microsoft was declared a monopoly and had restrictions placed on what it could do despite all other competitors already doing what Microsoft did (like including a web browser). That’s why years later Apple was able to make Safari the ONLY web browser (all “alternatives” were just reskins of Safari) whereas Microsoft was forced to include support so that you could switch the default web browser.
Now I really want to know what it said without digging through the html.
Both sides bad. Amirite?
I noped out of arch during setup. It expected me to partition the drive for swap/os/usr. It’s not 1996, I’m not doing that today.
Oh wait, it was all posturing and nobody’s willing to actually do that.
It’s posturing because the alternative is more French proles dead. You complain about proles dying yet are mad for Macron not racing to get French proles killed.
It would have blown Orwell’s mind that people would excitedly pay for spying devices and carefully place them in every room for maximum effectiveness.
Trump then issues an executive order that only Trump brand voting machines will be allowed.
Supreme Court response: “I’ll allow it.”
Who screwed in vga carefully every time? Without the screws vga was worse.
You can get HDMI with a lock tab . I hate that too. Nothing worse than trying to reach behind a wall mount to squeeze the lock tab.
It’s Donnie’s prize.
Worldcom was gigantic and went bankrupt. Microsoft was so damaged that it took 15 years for its stock price to again reach its 1999 height.
In response to German purity laws, IBM has added an optional field to their citizen database. It just defines a field “Is Jewish” so it’s standardized, but entirely optional. IBM does nothing with the data.
What a nothing burger.
That was what someone claimed but it isn’t true. Filenames are not accessible in an encrypted zip.
And you, young engineer, you who dream of improving the lot of the workers by the application of science to industry - what a sad disappointment, what terrible disillusions await you! You devote the useful energy of your mind to working out the scheme of a railway which, running along the brink of precipices and burrowing into the very heart of mountains of granite, will bind together two countries which nature has separated. But once at work, you see whole regiments of workers decimated by privations and sickness in this dark tunnel - you see others of them returning home carrying with them, maybe, a few pence, and the undoubted seeds of consumption; you see human corpses - the results of a groveling greed - as landmarks along each yard of your road; and, when the railroad is finished, you see, lastly, that it becomes the highway for the artillery of an invading army.
They not only look at your files but will decrypt any encrypted zip files to see what you have.
Yeah. Everyone was moving to CD-R.
I still feel the biggest clowns are those that didn’t vote to “send a message” because “Kamala needed to earn my vote.”
The security is monitoring your public records. Could you link to any of their services that aren’t about public records like titles, credit cards, credit ratings? Because that’s all I saw on their website.
There’s another company named aura that appears to be completely unrelated that provides security services in Malaysia- like physical guards for your business.
I get the idea of mocking security companies that get hacked. But this is a bad example. All their data was already public.
It would be like being mad at Lemmy because your username jjlinux and all your posts got “hacked” and posted to the Internet.
Nope. MS was declared a monopoly because of marketshare and therefore had to add support for competing software.
Monopoly is from marketshare. How it is obtained doesn’t matter. Once you are the biggest company you need to have restrictions placed on you so that smaller companies have a chance to compete.
