I've said it before and I'll say it again; the likes of Amazon and Netflix only survive as long as they are marginally more convenient than piracy.
If they stop being a slightly better solution, then people will stop paying for it and just pirate it instead.

Re: Decent Recent TV
Why did they make a TV show about the Doom level, Slough of Despair?

They get kudos cos it's uncommon.
It should be standard industry practise, really.

Slick site for a good cause, once the Aus petition is up I'll sign it. Really needs to be a simple broadbrush solution "if software requires any online authentication, that code must be made freely available at end of life" Yup, just open source the server auth side, and make it a local c...

Re: Bright light, bright light!
I wonder if they can get the lights to recognise number plates and not aim above them? I mean, this is purely so the government can say “look at what we are doing to make your lives better!” and it’s highly likely they won’t get anywhere, but I wonder if there is an actual technical solution?

Re: Ross Scott's stopkillinggames.com campaign
Can’t sign the petition yet as it’s under review. Yeah, the petitions thing (globally) has been a pain in the arse as various territories basically are incapable of setting a date for when they'll be live. I think the Australian one - which only gets a month to live - they can't even give him a mon...

Ross Scott's stopkillinggames.com campaign
In case you weren't aware, modern games are Very Online, even when they don't need to be. The Crew is a good example, where there's no way to play it without an internet connection to Ubisofts servers, even for single player - and on 31st March they perma-killed the server side, so the game is now u...

Re: Bright light, bright light!
Add motorbikes running high beams all the time to that list. As soon as people stop saying "I didn't see them officer" when they've pulled out on a motorbike, I'm sure that'll be on the list of things to look at. But yeah, it feels like ten years ago you only really got glare from numptie...

Re: BYD are taking over EVs
I mean, given the Five Eyes surveillance network was used to put pressure on UN members to vote for levelling Iraq - which led to us (IE five eyes member states) being bombed, shootings, mass stabbings etc - I think it's fair to say we've got more to worry from our own fuckwit governments spying eff...

Re: Spotted - Clio and Evo sticker
I think Andy is more of a Megane 225 slut rather than a Clio kid, but yes, he had a 5 GT Turbo that Munkey nearly grenaded (massive exaggeration) at one point.

Re: Jobbo interior
The interior is best described as 'a bit ratty' - the area around the keyhole has more chunks missing than the remains of my psyche. Lots of lovely stonechips outside. They went to excruciating detail on the carpet strips, but didn't clean the finger grease off the steering wheel buttons. (on closer...

“The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money. Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances.

Re: FTAO EV owners - possible action required before end of March-24
Took me a minute to get my head around all that, but yeah, that makes sense.
I've passed it on to my work Slack, as some of them have leccy cars.

I mean, they radio'd in a mayday saying they'd lost control of the vessel - you can have a dozen pilots, if you can't control it and you're at the whim of the currents, you're basically fucked regardless.
