one of the most profitable companies in the world, it seems very likely

except only loosing 568m is just "the price of doing business" for them and it's not much of a deterrent to make them stop. they made more than that by doing this so it's still a net profit

weird to think that the richest people in the world wouldn't try to get more money, that's their entire thing

i think the difference was only ever going to be when they felt like running the extra processing to do the work.

remember the time that Leon Skum turned starlink off for Ukraine just before a Russian attack?

he can never again be trusted. especially when it comes to safety and security

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

different, yes. but by how much and will it be different in ways that truly matter

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

yeah, might seem good to have yet another choice, but it's an illusion

Windows stopped including a codec to play DVDs a couple versions ago. what's a good way of still playing them on Windows 10 or 11?

i own DVDs but I'm looking for software options that work. VLC doesn't unless i get that missing codec, etc

edit: everyone is stopping that VLC can do it with no extra requirements. it didn't work before but I'll try again

 

the government has claimed that law enforcement agencies do not need a warrant to sift through [previously collected data]. EFF argued for over a decade that this is unconstitutional, and now a federal court agrees with us.
