I don’t get the surprise… Apple has ALWAYS been like this. They don’t want “normies” screwing around with “their” gear.

Heck, you needed a case cracker tool to open the OG Macintosh machines, they were specifically engineered to keep people out.

My work software kept seeing weird bugs in Chrome, so I switched permanently.

If you’re doing this in a business environment, I wouldn’t fool around with a home rolled option and would just go straight with a Websense subscription:

People won’t pay for something that used to be free… OTOH, neither will bot farms.

Either case will end Twitter, so I say go for it!

Possible to take the hardware, wipe it, install Linux and not worry about expiration?

Posts to reddit… LOL.

Whoah… my account is 18 years old.

I’m legal baby!

Because Microsoft has no more business managing Epson applications than Epson does, I dunno, Kensington or Belkin.

Because Microsoft manages Windows update, it’s not like a package manager in Linux.

I don’t want Microsoft telling me when I should update an Epson printer driver.

“via Windows Update” - key piece of info missing from the headline “for some reason”.

Yeah, I don’t see a need for Windows update to do any 3rd party stuff.

It’s too bad Justin Roilland got canned, because this is prime for another Rick and Morty court transcript video:

Clearly that explains the nudity then… ;)

As a console gamer, I don’t have to worry about it. Xbox Series X, PS5, Steam Deck are all AMD based. The Switch is Nvidia, but honestly, I can’t remember the last time I turned the Switch on.

Your iPad is an MP3 player, but as far as ripping a CD, first you need a USB CD drive, which is easy enough to get.

BUT… iOS doesn’t recognize optical drives, so once you have the USB drive, you need some other device to connect it to in order to rip the CDs.

Could be something like a Steam Deck or an inexpensive laptop or Chrome Book.

Once you rip the files to the device, you need to probably upload them to cloud storage accessible by both that device and the iPad.

Once the files are transferred to the iPad, you should be good to go!

Woof, you had more fortitude than I did. I lasted 30-45 minutes before going online asking “So should I start over with different stats?” and the response was “You just don’t get it, man…”

And I was like “Oh, I get it, I just don’t want shitty dialog choices…” and bounced.

I expect more from my dialog choices than “You want some fuck?”

I was expecting a Blade Runner-esque detective story, instead I got a main character who may be mentally defective. Not a fun experience.

See, that was my problem. I would never choose to play as a brain damaged wasteoid, but that was the ONLY choice in that game.

So bad that I went online and was like “Sooo… did I fuck up my starting stats? Is this my fault the dialog choices are this bad?”

Nope, just the way the game is… Time for the game to go away. Which is bizarre because I had heard so much good stuff about it.

Lost me at “Disco Elysium had arrived and absolutely blown the doors off the RPG genre.”

I’ve never played a more restrictive game with worse dialog choices.

a) Can’t tell if brain damaged.
b) Can’t tell if drunk.
c) Can’t tell if high.
d) Can’t tell if stupid.

No good choices. Thank god Steam let me refund it.

Looked pretty though!

At the same time?
