Heck, I’ll let you not use windows for $49.

Isn’t the free market great?

… horses… for courses…?

Literally never heard this phrase before, but it seems very similar to “different strokes for different folks.”

It doesn’t make any sense to me but I kind of love it.

3rd sentence of the article:

Indicted on three counts involving money laundering and wire fraud, the Charlotte-area man faces a maximum of 20 years per charge.

If you follow the article to the press release:

SMITH, 52, of Cornelius, North Carolina, is charged with wire fraud conspiracy, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison; wire fraud, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison; and money laundering conspiracy, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.

Oh I stand corrected. Nice find!

I don’t think they are, but definitely reminiscent.

Never heard of this dude before, but I’m getting some serious second-hand-catharsis for the public naming-and-shaming Frost gave him on his way out.

I’ve left a couple jobs angry, but always bite my tongue.

It’s soothes my bitter heart to see someone burn the bridge and also take a shit on the ashes.

This seems like nothing news/fake drama to make people think about Deadpool and oh by the way go see that movie in theaters.

I mean there’s a time and a place.

What if someone has gamepass or a ton of free games on EGS?

Is this a joke?

Half the icons on the screen are Dunkin Donuts or McDonald’s and any time you stop at a light a banner add covers have the screen.

Why would we compare it against an average coder?

ChatGPT wants to be a coding aid/reference material. A better baseline would be the top rated answer for the question on stackoverflow or whether the answer exists on the first 3 Google search results.

Total… Star Wars? Star total wars?

I didn’t believe you, but was surprised to learn this is actually true.

The goods inside these stores — Doritos, sunglasses, lotto tickets, energy drinks — only account for ~30% of the average gas station’s revenue, yet bring in 70% of the profit.

released with an MSRP of ¥29,980 in Japan, US$299.99 in the United States, £279.99 in the United Kingdom, and A$469.95 in Australia; with standardized pricing for the European market varying.

By that same logic, the customers are also at fault because the requirement has been in the terms of service since day 1.

Not taking sides obviously this sucks, but blaming Arrowhead seems arbitrary.

I think the most likely outcome is one of:

1. Sony pays to reimburse people who lost access
2. Sony pays to reimburse anyone who demands a refund
3. Sony removes the requirement entirely
4. Nothing happens

It’s exactly a money thing.

Publishers are usually responsible for all the shit people get angry about, but they’re also footing the bill to build the thing years ahead of time.
