The copy of Minecraft I bought back then no longer works (there was a bunch of buggy account change stuff that never worked for me). My copy of stardew valley still just works.

Ignoring the evil around you doesn’t make it go away. It’s important to call out evil for what it is, lest it just festers in the shadows.

So you do know what it is then?

Then look it up?

Oh god why. This is like one step away from JavaScript math.

Then why the fuck did they write it?

It has to do with receiving notifications from the app in a privacy-preserving way. Unless the app is running with a server connection 24/7 (RIP battery life) you need to rely on the OS to deliver notifications.

Which games?

That’s not how push notifications on android work.

It’s important to buy devices that respect your privacy.

Mbfc is just one dude’s opinion. Also he calls the associated press and CNN leftist news outlets. It’s quite stupid.

When it comes to public outreach, the question is more “why not?”

Where is the salt water in Illinois?

And they broke A LOT of software along the way.

This isn’t really an EV-related thing.

I don’t understand where the confrontation came from, but I guess if that’s what you want you can have it. I literally told you two posts ago about how it’s not just waiting for 20s and clicking a button. It’s an attended upgrade and scrolling process. I won’t bother quoting what I wrote 3 minutes ago, go scroll up and read it again yourself. No, my microwave does not present me with EULAs when the power goes out.

What “score” are you talking about? Do you take personal offense when a Sony product sucks? Did you invent the PlayStation or something? I was just sharing my lived experience.

No machine stays on without power, I’m not quite sure how you interpreted my statement that way. I’m saying all my other appliances recover gracefully from power loss and do whatever auto-updates they need to do in the background so when I go to use them they just work.

Yea I have one for my PC. Sony argues in court that a PlayStation is not a PC, but an appliance. I’m pointing out how untrue that is.

For the updates: I put it to sleep. However my power cuts out every now and then. When the power comes back, the ps4 turns itself back on on and makes obnoxious beeping noises, just to tell me the power was cut. The dumb thing is it will stay on that screen until manually dismissed and won’t auto-update until you dismiss that screen, with no timeout. The hassle-free appliance experience!

For your claim that the eulas being easy to skip, keep in mind that sometimes there were back-to-back updates that each required me to agree to a eula. So I would babysit the thing, walk away when it was taking forever, and when I came back it wouldn’t even be ready for gaming. Even windows isn’t that obnoxious.

Also my tv at the time had no way to disable CEC (my new one does, and also doesn’t crash lol).
