"Studies published in the 1990s concluded that D.A.R.E. had little to no effectiveness in preventing drug use in elementary, middle, or high school students, and may actually lead to increased drug use." https://www.britannica.com/procon/DARE-Drug-Abuse-Resistance-Education-debate

This, predictably, does not break my heart.

Kinda same. I've been MS for a long time. Moving towards Linux daily

Lol. Wouldn't shock me

Wait, are they doing a Boeing over there at Microsoft? Did they take all of the marketing people and put them in charge? Surely they had people that work there that saw this problem instantly but they were either ignored or they said nothing which says a lot about what they've got going on internally at Microsoft.

What will it take for them to finally lose market share?

Well, it appears that it's becoming popular. Hopefully you don't have to experience this firsthand.

Absolutely. Cc dispute is an under-used method of recourse.

It was always a tool of indoctrination. As it turns out, if you say something often enough, true or not, you tend to believe it.

To make it make sense, ask yourself "was this ever really true?" And, of course nothing is perfect, but what I mean to invoke is the idea that perhaps it was never even remotely true.

Aah, ok. We're on the same page.

Yep

I can face it. I will not accept it.

What about the 2b he's getting from the Saudis in the form of crypto?

It's nearly dissociative. It's utterly unreal.

Never tried. I'm a ps guy now, but the point is that there shouldn't be region codes to begin with.

Anywhere I've ever seen a region code to be changeable you only get to change it a certain number of times before you get stuck in a region. This is why you'll find TBD players that have been firmware flashed to be regionless.

Uh, we kinda tricked rocks into thinking using lightening and learned to use rocks to make AI...

They're the Disney of gaming, really.

So, this is a basic security principle. If the system of access is too "secure" or too inconvenient, people will create workarounds.

Need keys for all the doors every second of every day? You'll find duct tape on all the latches.

Password is 15 characters and changes every 60 days? You're going to find post-its under keyboards.

Spread all digital content across 8 streaming providers that cost about $180/y? Torrent time.

Nintendo wants to brick users for trying to play an out of region game they paid for? They'll never pay again and will reverse engineering your shit out of spite.

Same thing we saw with the music industry utterly failing to embrace internet distribution. Limewire and bearshare are their fucking lunch.

When will they learn to just make access easy? People, generally, would rather pay than pirate but when you start making shit difficult, nobody wants to play your games anymore and you see massive losses.

Meet your customers where they're at!
