It's not even logic, it's just simple pattern recognition.

Age checks are just the first step off a very slippery slope. It's never been about age, the end game is about ID. Resist them while you still can. Save those uncontaminated OS installers, while you can.

Comment UMG routinely claims my public domain recordings (Score 1) 97
Their inept bots routinely claim my recordings of public domain works, usually fraudulently matching it to some poor bastard that recorded the work under a UMG label. Often though, the bot doesn't even correctly identify the work. These works are P.U.B.L.I.C. fucking D.O.M.A.I.N. These are willfully ignorant bastards running horrifically incompetent bots just out there being copyright trolls on material that is not even eligible for copyright.

It might be counterintuitive, but I end up spending less because I'm much more reluctant to take a chance on an $80 game than even a $60 game. So often they are shipped broken or incomplete that it's better to get a 2 year old $20 GOTY edition of something that has all the patches and DLC on a e-shop sale.
Comment The main issue is the hybrid architecture (Score 4, Insightful) 56
The efficiency cores need to be disabled anyway if you do any virtualization, so they are a waste of space on the die that could be used by something doing actual work. At best, they artificially inflate the marketing specs.
