Yeah, it's something you shouldn't notice if you always have internet connection, but if you start playing where you won't always have internet connection that's when problems pop up. That's when you appreciate the DRM free games.

I like to use steam deck when I travel. Denuvo can refuse to launch without internet connection to reactivate a license. Also if you exceed 5 activations in a day you can't play the game for 24 hours. This includes switching which proton version you use to launch the game, which is sometimes necessary if something like the audio doesn't work properly on the default.

Get a steam deck and you'll see why.

Enshitification of DRM with denuvo going subscription model has become an unexpected ally in DRM getting removed even if it doesn't get cracked.

I ignored him for years because of his click bait video images, but then started liking him due to the scrap yard wars. But then quickly grew tired of his regular content after a couple of months with what a shill fest the entire thing was from their begging for likes to begging to buy their merch to begging for patreon.

Kids shouldn't learn to read. They should stick to audio books.

According to Mass Effect Asari are considered adults by around a 100 years. So 100.

That's true, but I was just talking about the best phone to get for a Google free experience. Stuff like pricing, specific features, or availability is another matter. Like it someone asks what is the best consumer available GPU VR gaming to get people would say 4090. Since unless they ask about price and availability they are just asking about hardware.

And this person already has a Pixel. So availability or price isn't an issue for them.

Yep, Pixel is the best phone to get the most Google free experience for those that seek it.

Could just use safari with an adblocker. Let's you cast too through airplay.

I thank getting into pcgaming for pushing me towards tech literacy. With how simplified tech has gotten and most usage being phones it's not surprising so many are more clueless than boomers who were at least forced to use PCs in an office setting.

Yeah, what companies want is all jobs to be exploitable like entry level jobs. That's kind of what's happening now with stuff like Uber where companies get away with paying their employees as little as possible and few benefits.

Protecting and providing incentive to hire for the long term seems like better thing in the long run over many crappy low paying jobs.
