Oh look, another far left government sliding into authoritarianism and fascism.

If you already do these during the day while your solar is generating enough power to do that, you're not really saving anything though?

It will also depend on the extra fees that you have to pay on these plans, and the no doubt higher electricity charge outside of these hours.

Also requires you to sign up to their plans that offer it, which will come with many caveats and higher prices/fees.

Power companies aren't in the business of losing money.

Cool, and no laws have been changed, and it's debatable if any should.

You know you can un-minify code, don't you? Minifying it doesn't encrypt it. The links to internal tickets and private repositories would still be there even if they minify it.

Links to internal tickets and repos aren't a security issue btw.

None of that is "relatively minimal effort" other than releasing the source code, which is not something that should ever be mandated.

This is standard practice in industry - you don’t buy something without assurance that if the company goes under you have options.

Which industries is this standard in? I can't think of any. If Samsung went bankrupt who is replacing your S25 Ultra?

Sure, but has the law made licenses for software illegal/unenforceable? No.

[–] FreedomAdvocate 1 points 6 months ago (7 children)

Can I ask why you bother doing that? What is the point?

You want to donate money to the government?

Because of people like you thinking they fucked up and spreading FUD?

If you knew anything about software development and the internet you would understand that there was no issue here. It's all client side code. It's not hiding any secrets, it's not stuff that is any use to anyone.

6.63 Million to go for the world record!

You mean about 5 million to go before Sony "finds" another 5 million PS2's that they sold but completely forgot about lol. As of right now, the Switch has 100% already outsold the PS2, probably by about 20 million. Take Sony's picture they released almost 10 years after the long agreed upon 155mil total PS2 sales figure was given, conveniently just as the Switch started looking like it would break the 155mil record:

This means that they produced 160 million PS2s. Not sold - produced. I personally had 2 PS2 replacements for free from Sony, so 2 of those 160 million produced were not sold. With how widespread the PS2 issues were - and remember that Sony lost multiple class action lawsuits over their hardware failures - millions upon millions of those 160 million produced consoles were given away as replacements.

We don't know how many Switch consoles Nintendo have produced, just how many they have sold - though obviously they could also count produced as sold like Sony do. Sony confirmed their position, Nintendo haven't - so at this stage we have to assume the Switch is the best selling console of all time.
