My car has an aux cable to connect to my phone. The cable died again so I've been rediscovering the radio and I've been been hearing commercials for whatsapp. They advertise E2EE as a feature. What you are saying is a contradiction to that. Is it possible to have E2EE AND have them sell your convo to third parties?

Are you suggesting a Bitcoin exchange also dabbles in selling Magic cards?

Piracy is a service problem.

Yes but also it is increasingly becoming a price problem

Customer: my phone doesn't charge

Estimate:
$100 USB charge board
$50 labor
$10 shipping $160 total

Actual price:
$120 Screen (OEM replacement)
$75 fingerprint reader+assembly (OEM replacement) $40 speaker (OEM replacement)
$100 USB charge board
$120 labor
$10 shipping
$465 total

I think most people would swallow the loss and use it as an excuse to upgrade. Use that same money for a new phone instead of a fixed phone

If you send in a phone with non-OEM parts it's safe to assume that it's a bit on the older side. You're probably sending it in instead of buying a new phone because you can't find a repair shop that will work on your device because sourcing parts can be difficult for older devices. If you're suddenly hit with a bill that costs more than the value of a new phone, or at least a replacement, suddenly paying becomes questionable. But yeah, you're right. It feels like theft.

Over the years I have heard stories where Valve closes an account after the owners passing. This is usually because the poster said they had trouble with something and explained that the original owner passed. Valve then responds by closing the account and ignoring the issue.

With that said I don't think large groups of people can effectively share a library/account because only one person can play at a time. Small groups like spouses, parents, siblings or a small friend group is doable because it is easier to coordinate who is gonna use the account at any given time. This is especially true if they live together.

With the Deck, I have issues where I boot up a game on my living room PC and my Deck closes it's game making me lose progress on the Deck. Imagine that multiplied 20x. Getting kicked mid match, losing that boss fight, lose your high score, getting left on cliffhanger mid cutscene. The throw your controller rage stuff.

Yes, happens all the time on gog. They don't have the same library of games but there is an overlap.

Kinda ironic that you didn't cover your email address in a privacy community

Red Sparrow is the better Black Widow movie.
