MangoHud is the obligatory answer.

Presumably so they can charge you more to increase it, like everyone else.

I think you may be thinking of Legion Go S. This is Legion Go 2. As far as I’m aware, the fact that it even exists is new.

Define “failed”?

Microsoft is a business. If they aren’t able to sell phones, they fail. Linux doesn’t sell anything and yet is able to keep trucking for 30 years.

Can Linux mobile hardware OEMs fail? Can and have. But the software community presses on. Not as quickly as I would like but they press on regardless.

Yes, it is the lazy way to secure accounts. No defense there.

Yeah this is the cancer that is email 2FA.

Unfortunately email is the only way they have to verify your identity. No email, no account. But this is very much not exclusive to Rockstar.

I changed my email a couple of years ago and it’s absolutely astonishing how many companies are completely unequipped to deal with someone changing or deleting their email account.

The problem is there are lots of places where fighting makes sense but you have no control. 99% will turn all their info over without batting an eye.

I was invited to an event recently on Partiful. If you’re unfamiliar, this is the company founder by a bunch of former Palantir execs. The only way to RSVP or see the event info or get updates or anything else is to turn over your phone number. I told the person who invited me that I wasn’t comfortable giving these people my info and they responded along the lines of “okay, don’t come”.

I went to a food truck a while back and they wouldn’t even give me a menu or accept my order at the window. Told me I needed to download, order and pay through their shitty app.

Anyone who has my contact information volunteers it in it’s entirety to any shitty app that asks for it. They upload pictures of me (along with the according metadata) to surveillance databases without my consent or knowledge, thinking nothing of it.

Piefedizens, ofc

Holy shit, and it doesn’t require an xbox account!

It’s not anywhere in the Houston area.

It’s true. I use Brave as well. They have several novel privacy features that no one else does. And although the company has a checkered history, I still think it’s the best (for now). I just wish more FOSS devs would take notes and implement these privacy features in other browsers.

Yep :(

Because it’s an unreleased car and they don’t even build them here.

It’s the unreleased Nissan Leaf, and personally I haven’t seen it outside of press photos.

Bzzzzt

Incorrect but close 😉

There are plenty of music services that aren’t trying to do that.

Yeah I’ll never forget the first time I saw someone just casually browsing IMGUR and I was like WTF are you doing?

They’ve had the first 3 for a while

I am not misunderstanding you. You just do not understand what E2EE means. Th server is not a sender or a recipient. It is not an “end”.
