So it’s not even the lowest it’s been this year? Meh

Most of the people who bought during the IPO probably already cashed out.

The API restrictions and login requirements are meant to make scraping hard enough to make a deal worthwhile.

In Canada we have universal healthcare but also ambulance fees. The healthcare may be free, but getting to it isn’t.

The article is a week old. Apple has since announced a leasing program and told The Verge the restricted mode isn’t for it. They didn’t say what it is for though.

That’s from May. Today: After gaining independence from Xbox, Double Fine are laying off a quarter of their staff.

Like I tell my mom, you asked if you could hug me but you didn’t say anything about me hugging you back.

massgrave can activate 3 years ESU on regular Enterprise for people who want things IoT LTSC is missing, like WMR. I’ve got Enterprise alongside Bazzite and when the updates run out I’ll either switch to IoT LTSC or nuke Windows altogether.
