Revenue, not profit. Even if they make a net loss they’d will be sharing the money.

I’m more concerned about the individual and independent creators. How will they be compensated for the use of their work?

Maybe something immutable, then. Solid updates, easy rollback.

What do you do when Windows crashes and you’re not there?

I’ve had several things break in the process of getting Mint installed and updated on this machine

Like what? That doesn’t inspire confidence in the PC itself.

Agreed. Rsync will happily sync a deletion you didn’t mean to do.

If your password is set this year, and suddenly the clock says it’s 2018, then yes your password was set in the future, at least as far as the computer believes.

Mostly no, unless you expose your VM to the Internet or run untrusted code.

Not just you, that’s a pretty common principle.

Right, and when you said you “finally setup nginx”, that was a verb, and should have been “set up”.

You can probably assign it to multiple VMs or containers, and if it’s not available then the VM or container will fail to start.

Why even look at MSRP? Make the decision based on price vs value to you.

What’s in the log on the server?

Does this mean they’ll finally stop giving the fucking mobile site on desktop just because someone couldn’t edit out the “m.” from the link?

Strange. Memtest? I can’t think of anything else off the top of my head, unless you sit up and watch it.

Absolutely not. They should be common carriers with zero weighting and even zero knowledge about what transits their network.

I don’t think anyone is an exclusive pirate or purchaser. Everyone is on the scale between one of the other, whether that’s someone who mostly pirates but goes to the movies on occasion, or someone who mostly pays for Netflix but will hunt down something Netflix doesn’t have.

Huh, I missed that.

Does it have a system log in the BIOS? What’s the battery like, present and healthy or dead/removed? Fans working?

Define “crashing”

Yes, and while borrowing contributes to their “we’re needed, please fund us” justification, it doesn’t directly support the artists.

Especially given that they’re owned by Epic Games
