QR codes usually have links with tracking in them, they can also be swapped out by potential hackers to send you to a proxy that will install malware while you order.

Overall, the guise of the “modern dining experiences” is one of less service for the same price, more tracking and value extraction for advertising and marketing, and more invasion of privacy to the consumer. I refuse to support these experiences by either refusing to use the tech or taking my dollar elsewhere.

I lost a few IQ points reading this ad.

But they love charging for the kidney stone removal.

I’ve had to move a lot over the years. Lived in large and small cities in 4 provinces.

I can say with great certainty that this rental scenario (depicted in OP) is very common in any conservative managed or low income areas. Tends to not be common in nicer neighbourhoods.

Dear lord no.

In my experience, should be fine. Modern boards usually reclock to the lowest common denomination between the types of RAM.

If this was Pentium[1-4] or early Xeon days you’d be boned.

For extra fun, there’s also dist-upgrade

Agreed, just updated my comment for clarification here. But I’ll add that I still own any game I’ve bought on Steam that was pulled from the store. They tend to be on the better side here.

That said, DRM free for the win.

Agreed.

My use of the PlayStation platform had dropped significantly and moved to PC, and now Steam Deck as well.

And now I’ll just cease entirely.

They really love shooting themselves in the foot here.

And I suppose they will start trying to sue Steam when they fall.

EDIT: To be clear, the Deck can run GOG games with Lutris, and with PC I use a mix of launchers, not just Steam. My intent was to point out that many publishers seem to like going after Steam after they shoot themselves in the foot and lose users.

I have one built, just waiting for winter.

Vintage Story has cheese aging in cellar mechanics.

We were definitely expecting this, anyone who didn’t had their head in an unfortunate location.

So they actually spell it “donut” and not “doughnut”?

Ok kids, 30 is barely entering midlife. People start over at 40-50 all the time.

Someone please explain what benefits there are to being a state at all? I don’t even want to travel there because of how fucked up their rights and laws are…

Can I just say; get fucked.

Yeah, same. And this article is playing like thats on us.
