my domain is my media server, so id rather not end my domain.

basically market has always shown convenience often trumps ownership, music streaming, video streaming, games now. ownership is the vocal minority

they weren't completely wrong now. on thier own financials, its mentioned that only 30% of game sales are physical. physical buyers are now the minority.

insee it as apple is a full vertical stack conpany who doesnt want to share its vertical stack as it cuts into their profit.

its what nvidia is trying to do, and if windows for arm takes off, i bet that nvidia is ready to attempt to remove all competition on windows due to how reliant some sectors of the industry are for nvidia hardware

possily running into b vs m key situation. if you have a laptop that was made during the transition period of sata based m.2 to pci-e based ones, knowing which key you needed is important.

if its on carpet, ots okayish, if its on hard floor its a bad time. speaking from experience

all chromium browsers are affected, so if a chromium browser wants to support manifest v2, they have to manually maintain it separately from the main chromium build. whether individual companies will do so ofc is tbd. braves built in browser probably not affe ted

i believe my neopets account is older than my youtube account, so that. actually went to playing neopets again fairly recently to see how its changed

again, its diminishing the security features of the different forms of communication. one (likely) requires connecting to a secondary powered device, likely with a 10 key minimum password length of various characters or a series of login prompts. the other is a protocol which connects either by pairing or a 4 digit pin... just because security exploits exists for all connections doesnt mean all communication standards have equivalent security risk.

the protocols on how Bluetooth is handled is far different than the ones how wifi is handled, same as NFC and cellular. to equate all their security as "the same" is very dismissive, especially comparing to wifi and cellular which typically arent direct device to device connections.

nfc dodges its problems because its for the most part off until you open an app that uses it, so its already doing what a user should be doing for security reasons.

id imagine it would work till google force deprecates it due to not being updated in a recent time window, which them it would be delisted on the play store

it can be a security issue leaving it on. also can drain battery as its occasionally pinging for nearby devices.
