I had a return recently where they opened it due to “lack of bubble wrap” and put more in. That wouldn’t change the weight much but if they used something else it could. So there is then drop off weight, ship weight, and receive weight

The Jungle follows up..

Found the corpo plant /s

Ah that’s rough. Probably chatted with AI as well

So LG and Samsung likely have tons of illegal (copyright) content on their servers then? Ownership is 9/10ths of the law so they say. That’s gotta be exabytes

Yeah the whole point is to make enough fake ones to get the authorities to drop security, then do a real one, rinse, repeat. It’s a common tactic to whittle down resources in combat (not saying terrorism is combat to be clear) if outnumbered

They had better bring up that Secure Boot f up too

Thanks, I meant terms & conditions, fixed. If I buy a product that does not have an activation fee in the t&c at time of purchase, legally I probably shouldn't have to pay it even if they implement it later and I waited to activate. That would maybe still require you to sign up even if you aren't paying to get the t&c then though. It could be argued that since the fee was not in place at time of purchase it shouldn't apply and that is what I meant by 'sticky' is all.

My thoughts exactly. This seems like a short term play to boost the stock price, let execs get out of the market, then sell off the company before it goes under.

Also how are they gonna prove you didn’t buy it before the announcement and just didn’t register/use it until after? Seems to me that’s gonna be sticky in the eyes of copyright

I would say I have more of a limited view rather than a twisted view. I have used friend’s decks (don’t own one) and haven’t run into issues like that. That boot issue is top-tier ridiculous.. You need to be able to power off your devices

Debian does regular ARM builds and that would likely work

Edit: I run it with VMWare Fusion on a VM

Wow all those are features I want to work properly on a device.

Not to downplay Signal, their encryption is good and they added anti-quantum technology, but I miss what Wikr used to be. Friggin corporate takeovers.

Linux was never strong at graphical type things though. I think one of the reasons for a JRE for Android was a graphical setup. You take out the Java, get the bare OS. The Pi is pretty basic. SteamDeck works well because of the people working on Proton which also functions extremely well for Linux desktop Steam users. Hats off to them and I definitely appreciate all that work
