Piracy is a service problem.

Yes but also it is increasingly becoming a price problem

You just gotta let the sink in or something

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.

You say that’s the best we can do.
No. It isn’t.
That’s the bare minimum and I don’t think we will get even that much.

Carlson gave Putin a platform. I see a trend forming.

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

Not to be that guy, but how long until the assassination attempts?

Red Sparrow is the better Black Widow movie.

Better options have already been mentioned. With that said another option might be torrenting.

And it is attached to a subscription service that rotates games on a whim.

I don’t entirely agree with you because what you are saying is basically stop here. Here sucks. Hard. The window shifted. We need to shift left a bit imo. That includes taxing rich more and spending it in house not abroad. Military doesn’t count. They don’t need the extra money. And yes, authoritarian tendencies are bad. They are just made worst by a strong loyal military. How long before they remove the clause about not following orders that are illegal?

Front + trunk

This isn’t the first EV to do this. It’s not even the first Tesla to do it.

Leopards, am I right

Automation

They didn’t get rid of the “don’t.” They got rid of the whole motto.

You found your way here. Just wait until it happens. Alternately maybe follow Fedoras release notes

I still have that feature on a few different browsers. Mobile and desktop. What browser are you using that doesn’t?

That changes when GabeN passes.

The FCC and the government at large isn’t to blame for this one. The ISPs collected the governments money to run high speed Internet to the rural parts of this country. Blame your ISP for not using the funds as intended. Maybe also blame the government for not holding them accountable for not delivering.
