I want to say that mine only claimed 99 games.

121·3 months agoBlu ray discs cost pennies to manufacture, especially at scale.
Also, Sony owns the blu ray IP.
Also also, if they gave a fuck they could just ship 2 discs in a box. Like they did at the tail end of the xbox 360 days.
They’d just rather not deal with it anymore.

Android@lemdro.id•No banking apps on your custom ROM? This new initiative could help.English
7·7 months agoYes and as far as I can tell, they all have that as their system. Also the changing of the password every quarter which has proven to actually decrease password security and increase password reuse.
I should say, if anyone knows a bank with proper modern online security protocols I am willing to listen.

Android@lemdro.id•No banking apps on your custom ROM? This new initiative could help.English
21·7 months agoI appreciate the effort but my banking apps still rely on 2FA through SMS. They aren’t interested in implementing a technology that is more secure or even one that is different than what they have already, especially for a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of their user base.

Put some more battery in there.
I think so, just a relatively famous copypasta.
I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux
I’m not saying you have to do it but you can get the standard Microsoft fonts on Linux, they are just an extra download.
