Ah, but then you’ll have to put up will all the folks whining about new builds, and that a waste outlet pipe wasn’t connected properly, Vs a 60-70s that’s still standing so must be much better, as long as we ignore the black mold in the cavity that is slowly killing us.

Most people are not accessing the internet via a Chromebook.

I was just wondering if anyone was going to provide an upgrade path for my NanoPi Neo 3.

This looks small enough to do that job!

[Edit] Checked out the specs, I don’t think this is going to beat the NanoPi Neo 3 at all.

But it’s good to see other folks try to make the machines tiny.

No one said it’s okay.

We said “buying albums doesn’t directly support artists”.

Artists make a recording of a bunch of songs. A label buys that copy of a recording and makes a bunch of prints.

Album goes on to make millions, band had sold that copy of the recording so doesn’t get anything from the secondary selling.

Label then licenses that recording to Spotify. Spotify then makes money on people’s subscriptions and gives the 60% to the label they licensed it from. Notice how the artist isn’t involved here?

No one is a fucking slave you idiot, and no one is justifying it. Pirate the album and go to shows and buy their merchandise. This has always been the way, and remains the way.

I only had bad experiences with an XPS, then I found out that the Linux model was a cut down version so that Dell didnt have to support the fingerprint reader and other gadgets.

Lenovo at the time were working with Fedora to get all their fingerprint drivers upstreamed so the choice seemed obvious.

AMD T14 Gen 2, and it’s still great.

The only claim anyone has ever documented is detailed in the article.

An accusation doesn’t necessarily mean they’re right though. Something people get confused on often is Steam Keys, which are completely separate to Steam Store purchases. Valve do ask developers not to “give Steam customers a worse deal than Steam Key purchasers”

You can read through all the claimants key documents if you like 😉

So far no one has ever shown Valve asking for price parity with other outlets, and this doesn’t appear to be any different. Just a lawyer looking for a payday.

He just has horses he was trying to dump on other people, but positioned it like it was a nice gift.

Essentially, this hinges on whether demanding price parity with other platforms is anticompetitive…

No it’s not. This hinges on whether you can sell the generated free Steam keys on other sites for less than the price you have set on Steam.

You can absolutely sell your game on another site for less. You can’t sell your game on another site for less and make Steam pick up the infrastructure costs.

Precisely. This is why the EU is harder on these companies.

When you get big enough, there are different rules to ensure that you don’t distort a market by killing competition. That is anti-trust, and that is considered a monopoly.

Not musicians “these days”. This has always been the case.

They didn’t create it though (At least that’s the argument).

Very few artists make money through record sales, and this has always been true not just recently with Spotify.

Even in the '80s bands were starving but then people pointed to Guns and Roses as examples that made money from record sales. Record labels signed contracts with bands to record and press albums, they took 90% of the money and gave artists cash up front. Unless they were already Aerosmith, the deal wasn’t great.

People bitching about Spotify taking most of the money, whilst it might be wrong, don’t seem to know their history. If you want to support bands it has always been about seeing them live and buying merch.

Artists don’t get good deals from Spotify because their labels are signing bad deals for them and it doesn’t matter “if they made the music”.

So you don’t understand what a monopoly is?

Because you don’t have to be the only player in the overall game to be a monopoly, just simply big and powerful enough to be unaffected by the other players which fits Apples description.

No, unfortunately only on the model I shared. There are comments about WhatsApp being removed from this model so it gets a lower rating.

That’s a shame as the 2780 doesn’t have WhatsApp.

You mean like this? Nokia 6300, has WhatsApp, apparently has Google Maps, 4G for tethering. Shitty camera is the drawback for me, otherwise it hits all the spots.

Quite a few of the dumb phones have WhatsApp. Although the maps experience would suck.

Personally, since they already have WhatsApp, having a good camera and 5G tether are my two wishlist items. 4G tether is probably fine for the most part but the good camera would be missed.

That with an iPad mini, so that I can still use banking apps and maps but I’d have it in a bag so that it’s not simple to access and I could leave it at home would be my ideal.

Also, “not blonde” considering the typical Hollywood stereotypes.

What do you mean I can’t install Windows on my new MacBook??? I thought it was only Linux that you had to think about what hardware you were purchasing before whining about incompatibilities.

It died a long time before that.
