Still, the other companies couldn't be bothered. Hell, most of the cities and towns in Belgium that got hacked felt no urgency to inform their citizens, so not sure how stringent those frameworks are...

It was refreshing to have a company publicly admit the breach, and not by press release but through direct email to their customers.

wake me up when German cars are on the list. Until then I'll regard this as purely performative and will be overturned in some months.

Also: making repairable the very cell phones on which they require constant monitoring of private communications reeks of hypocrisy.

Yes I'm skeptical about all this.

Nor is there anything ‘unjust’ about Nintendo retaining money that it may receive from the government as tariff refunds. The fact that Nintendo stands to receive tariff refunds does not give Plaintiffs any legal entitlement to those funds.”

so perhaps they did not yet receive the refunds, but if/when they do, customers can get fucked.

But they did profit from the tariffs, as Nintendo gets the refunds but do not pass it on to the customers?

3:44 - [our customers] want to know they own the means of production.

Does he even know what that means...

I was thinking of setting up a NUC, but with the great suggestions here I can hold off on that.

The ideal setup imo would be a steam machine :D

I had no idea, on both counts: that Google weedled its way in there too, and that a different launcher was even an option. I will look into that, thanks!
