They are just random brands selling the same exact products to workaround amazon system. I personally don't care what is on the label. Why would I pay more for the same stuff from a "reputable" brand, when all of them are just names owned by the same 3 companies?

Why my uninformed reddit post is on /. ?

The fix will arrive with an update that nukes your drive C: and bricks your printer.

Browsers only include a list of root CAs and those have a long life time. Dropping lifetime on root CAs would be an absolute nightmare.

If you connect your TV to the internet, you are an idiot. Being a part of a bot farm is the least of your worries here. The only connections TVs should get is HDMI and power.

What is the point of school when all answers to the home work are in the answer book? AI really making people so dumb, they end up writing articles like this one.

This is a trivial algorithmic problem.

Grifters are arguing about how along into the grift they are.

Ever since I installed it many years ago, I don't remember needing any new features. As long as it can launch apps and allow customization to remove vendor BS, it is feature complete. This also makes it hard to justify ongoing payment.

If there is a paid version, I'm fine with that. One time pricing pretty much does not matter, subscription will have to be priced well. If there are ads, I'll just uninstall it. It would suck, but there is no world in which I'm tolerating ads.

They owned that domain since 1999, long before they came up with an assistant name. And even back then they acquired the company for $250 mil.

They may not be irrelevant, but there is certainly not a lot of value in the actual distribution part. All interesting documents that are published there are available elsewhere. Removing the paywall just shortens the current algorithm: 1. Google search for some terms. 2. Find ACM paper that looks interesting, but paywalled. 3 Copy the exact title and search for that. Download a PDF from a random source that has it. This is from a pure "user" of the articles perspective. It might be of a bigger benefit for people in academia.

Valve has it too, but they can't make support public in the drivers until the spec is pubic. If they were working with proprietary drivers, there would not be an issue, but Valve are not assholes, and they also can't violate NDAs.

Just send then straight to landfill. They will end up there in a couple months anyway.

I can't imagine worst service. I have not heard a single good thing about them, every time I hear anything it is in the context of them doing something annoying.
