What do you mean besides the obvious

Well I mean obviously.

God, what an awful thought

No company ever sells games with the disclaimer that they might stop supporting those games at some arbitrary point in the future they sell the games with the understanding that you are purchasing a product that you will own after you give the company the required amount of money.

They are not selling you a limited term license, they are selling you a product. They should not be allowed to then change their minds after the fact without compensating the customer.

That’s the funny thing about all of this it wouldn’t cost the company a single penny. All they’d have to do is open source their code that’s it.

Even if you just looked at the screenshot it’s pretty clear that’s not what the petition is about. Could you go away and do literally one seconds worth of research, and then come back and explain why you made such a brainless comment.

One of the big problems about the original petition was that it had a focus on gaming. But this is a problem in the entire software industry, and as much as gaming is probably the more serious concern for the majority of people, it is considered by the government to be somewhat unimportant. Corporate software though has a more mature image, and so is more likely to be considered.

Any software that is sold by a company should be open sourced if the company chooses to end support. Either because the company goes out of business or because they just decide it’s no longer profitable to continue updating the software, and yes, this does include older versions of iOS.

A rising tide and all that.

Finally, it encourages people to do the minimum, because the alternative is to compete for bonuses that are only going to the people who meet the highest appearance of productivity metrics

Oh yeah they called them “STAR awards” or something to try and make it look like some great achievement.

Smoke alarms contain small quantities of radioactive material. You can also bulk buy smoke alarms on Amazon. You can also buy hazmat suits on Amazon.

Good ol’ Zorg

That’s an utterly insane thought process though.

The actual solution is to just not let idiots vote for con artists. This should be some sort of test that demonstrates they least understand the basics of the situation.

Also the media shouldn’t be allowed to just straight up lie about stuff.

These sort of poles are always stupid because people always answer them in daft ways. “Oh yeah of course I’d prefer a dictatorship that’d be swell”

My parents have an induction stove like that. If it gets any moisture on the panels at all it thinks the buttons are being pressed and just starts doing random stuff. Because who thought that water would ever get on a stove top?

I still use the exact same washing machine that was in the house when I bought the house. I have no idea how old it is, but I bought the house in 2017 and I can’t imagine the owner would have left it behind if it was new.

The only problem with it is that the door sensor is broken, so It will actually turn on even if the door is open which it shouldn’t do according to the operating manual. Won’t make that mistake again though so it’s not a big problem.

That’s not the trailer that’s just a series of random images over some generic music. I have no idea what this is.

It’s also a clickbait title though. That’s not how national economys work. You cannot equate governmental spending to the budget systems of companies, doing so is intellectually dishonest.

I always thought the entire point of them releasing this was not to make crazy money, but see how to improve upon what they built by having everyone beta test it for them.

There is plenty of data already available. What people want is a gaming platform, but Apple hates gaming for some reason, so they were already on a loser to start with.

Medical industry on the whole try not to use “killer apps”. It’s sort of defeats the purpose

What’s doublely stupid is that a developer would have to spend the exact same amount of money to be able to develop an app for the headset. They’re not going to do that unless they reasonably sure they’re going to make their money back.

Yeah you’ll computer does have killer wraps it’s all of the programs that you can install. There isn’t anything the headset can do that you can’t do better on a desktop.

Is it trying to push the the computing angle they need apps that actually make use of the VR capabilities. As far as I’m aware they still don’t have a YouTube app. Even though YouTube has VR and 3D videos
