Comment Digital often More Expensive (Score 1) 73

Annoyingly in Australia the PlayStation store price is often $10-$30 more than you can get from Amazon on day 1, so it only takes a few games purchased to cover the extra cost of buying the console with a disk drive. It doesn't make sense to have physical copies cost less to the consumer when they cost more to the supply chain.

Microsoft has no authority here the court did. Microsoft filed suit against the company which they believed to be behaving illegally, the court agreed which then provided Microsoft the legal ability to proceed. In reality it shouldnâ(TM)t be up to private companies to take action against the guys, the FBI and other law enforcement around the world should be doing it but clearly arenâ(TM)t (probably due to lack of adequate funding) so private enterprise steps up

The article from phoronix.com says that not the apple article, but as per the stack exchange link someone did all they had to do was add the nvme ID into the right file. IE Linux doesn't pick up the storage controller by default yet because its so new, once a few updates are released it should work just fine if you disable secure boot.

Its only 30% for the first year, if a subscription is active more than 12 months it drops to 15% https://developer.apple.com/ap.... Its pretty reasonable for a distribution cut, just look at the kind of cut music distributors take before the Artist gets their share.

Comment Australia has had this for ages (Score 1) 556

In Australia when you purchase and/or activate a SIM/Celluar service you must provide ID of one form or another. They accept government issue ID or a credit card number. It can be done in person, online or over the phone. We don't care about the device, just the celluar service. The data is not collected by the government but the Australian Mobile Telecommunications Association (AMTA) which is and industry group with the members being our carriers, they also maintain the IMEI blacklist for phones reported stolen and all carriers subsribe to it, so a stolen phone can't be used on any Australian network

I just read the other day that Qantas is going to do this on some flight is Australia, but they are restricting use to Messaging and Data use only, so NO CALLING, Yeah!!
The last thing you want on a Red-Eye flight to/from Perth etc is some numbskull blabbering on his phone.

However it will be just like international romaing so its probably going to cost an arm and a leg to use
