Absolutely funny move... if only Musk hadn't cut large swaths of the team that could forsee these issues and patch them preemptively.

In Canada the way to work around 2FA SMS is to have mobile data roaming off with roaming on, (then switch your sim card to your home number). The incoming text messages and leaving incoming calls ignored won't charge you. It will only charge if you use any mobile data at all, send a text, SMS, MMS message, make any call (including to voicemail) or accept any call (some charge for rejecting a call but won't if you let it timeout on its own).
My mind is blown! So if I have it right, they pay to put up ads to some useless bullshit site on theirs so that they can have copious amounts of additional ads for unsuspecting visitors to view?
I feel like I'm getting something wrong here.
It's all fine, they have another set of billions of files as copies so they can safely remove the original collections.
Yeah the EU is just awesome for being able to just hop from country to country, it's the same with the wireless roaming as it is with your person.
Most Canadian carriers do a "use your plan like you would at home" but the price for it is about USD 10 per day, which is a huge cost compared to many travel eSIMs or a local SIM/eSiM.
Your argument is interesting. I get that it's upsetting that Mac isn't well supported.
Valve isn't obligated to continue supporting all its games and software features on Mac, especially when Apple's reluctance to natively support Vulkan and other cross-platform technologies makes game development more complex. There's no excuse for Steam on Mac...
You wrote the excuse/reasoning for Steam not to support Mac before saying there's no excuse. If Apple enforces their control over their software and hardware by making everyone developing sign restrictive EULAs and dictating what technologies can run on their hardware, why does Valve have to play ball with that? Apple has had no interest in courting gamers to their platform for several years, so it is their problem why Steam has become unsupported. It seems like they even tried by converting their app to 64-bit just for Apple, then they get shut out because the architecture changes to Apple Silicon. How many hoops is Valve expected to jump through?
Epic is the company trying to be the Amazon, Walmart, etc. of the gaming industry by "disrupting" the existing ecosystem with free games every week, paying devs off for exclusivity with their fortnite cash. It's clear as day when they take over is when they are sure to enshittify themselves.
GOG games I do support, but I'm just sad that they haven't done much for Linux.
You didn't mention itch.io, which has a well-functioning app (at least on Linux), and a revenue sharing model set by the developer, and a pay what you want scheme for buyers.
Yeah this isn't my UA but I'm just saying these parts are what's considered the supported featureset rather than information about what software the device is running.
Yeah. Ask anyone if they know the difference between the real vs. the nominal value of money. If they don't they probably don't realize how much they're being screwed.
Trick is I took out the actually useful parts like Chrome, Firefox, Edge, etc. And the OS. All the agents these days have AppleWebKit and Mozilla just so old websites that look for it don't downgrade the experience.
As useful as Mozilla/5.0; AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/537.3
It doesn't make sense to push for anyone smart but it's the equivalent mistake as forgetting to check "Whole Word Only" on your Find and Replace function.
