Except it’d be much less of a practical problem if the question “but who gets paid” would be taken out distributing excess energy.

Right, that’s definitely an important thing, that at least with gog, you can defend yourself against that possibility.
My “best we got” was in regards to the potential to become a lot worse because of shareholder pressure. Given that CD Project is a publicly traded company, GOG is much worse in that regard than Steam.
I fully agree that GOG, as it currently is, could be the better product for you depending on your values, but its defenses against enshittification are objectively much worse than Steam’s*, and that’s all I was talking about.
*That is, until Gabe dies, I guess, who knows what’ll happen then
Nobody is talking about “no potential”. Just “a lot less potential than any other option out there”, and that’s currently the best we got
Not really. Timezones, at their core (so without DST or any other special rules), are just a constant offset that you can very easily translate back and forth between, that’s trivial as long as you remember to do it. Having lots of them doesn’t really make anything harder, as long as you can look them up somewhere. DST, leap seconds, etc., make shit complicated, because they bend, break, or overlap a single timeline to the point where suddenly you have points in time that happen twice, or that never happen, or where time runs faster or slower for a bit. That is incredibly hard to deal with consistently, much more so that just switching a simple offset you’re operating within.
Yeah, that’s the point, it shouldn’t be like that
It depends on where you live. In Germany, forced arbitration in general TOS is invalid and has to be separately negotiated and agreed to. In general, what you can put into your TOS is pretty restricted, anything you put in there that a consumer wouldn’t reasonably expect is not gonna be legally binding.
You’re not wrong, but the way you put it makes it sound a little bit too intentional, I think. It’s not like the camera sees infrared light and makes a deliberate choice to display it as purple. The camera sensor has red, green and blue pixels, and it just so happens that these pixels are receptive to a wider range of the light spectrum than the human eye equivalent, including some infrared. Infrared light apparently triggers the pixels in roughly the same way that purple light does, and the sensor can’t distinguish between infrared light and light that actually appears purple to humans, so that’s why it shows up like that. It’s just an accidental byproduct of how camera sensors work, and the budgetary decision to not include an infrared filter in the lens to prevent it from happening.
The German saying says “Hut”, which is a less broad term than the English “hat”. And it definitely does not include that.
She’s in all of the episodes, she’s basically the second main character :) She also played a role in the recent hunger games prequel thingy, which was pretty good
Will if we’re only talking charging, USB-C should be as easy to implement as any of them, basic 5v is gonna work even without most of the pins connected
In that case it becomes a violation again. At least according to the law
Pretty sure most people here are talking about the usage side of things. If we were to go by effort to implement the connector, let’s just go back to serial ports
I mean, this is one of the few cases where you actually can reasonably say that you might not have to give a damn about GDPR. Assuming this is in the US, there’s a high chance that no EU citizen lives in that building, and thus GDPR doesn’t apply.
(Yes, I know this didn’t actually happen)
One plugs into line voltage
Well, but that’s not what’s coming out of the end that you plug into the razor. The wall plug for it contains a transformer that steps it down to 15V. Would still be a bad idea, but it’s not line voltage.
B is fine, just a bit big. Agree on micro though.
How is USB-C worse than either of them
I think if we are going to support the idea of an open web, we need to be consistent about it.
Not convinced. This feels like the paradox of tolerance in slightly different shape.
Are you talking about Valve, or generally? Because as I said, I don’t think there is such a thing as a generic manager role at Valve, much less one that gets paid so much more than other roles. How much of the profit goes to Gabe directly vs the employees or reinvested into the company I don’t know, but if you want to complain about compensation gaps, I’m very sure that Valve is absolutely not the company to start with.
Negative prices are short-term self-regulation reactions of the market, they can’t stay negative long-term, just because of how the system works. So I’m not sure what you’re worried about.
Also, cut the condescending tone, it does nothing but make you look like an asshole.
