Now put in a law saying you can't do that

Oh I didn't own my steam account it was created for my future children. it's a trust.

banana_lama ,

I understand for the life of the company. But it's not even my steam account. It's my child's who's currently -5 years old (give or take). I did create it on their behalf a decade ago to redeem the free games on their behalf and gift them games I think they'll enjoy.

There's examples that swing both ways of a government being benevolent and self serving. The more likely outcome is the government being self serving. I personally anticipate every government to eventually go that route. For instance Agustus and a few following Roman emperor's had set a good example. But once corruption had set its teeth within the government it became incredibly difficult to be a "good" emperor. Not impossible but discouraged.

So yeah. Just because there's good examples doesn't mean you shouldn't be cautious even in their cases. Enjoy the prosperity and encourage it but do have a Killswitch of sorts just in case

Netflix Windows app is set to remove its downloads feature, while introducing ads ( www.techradar.com )

Netflix has managed to annoy a good number of its users with an announcement about an upcoming update to its Windows 11 (and Windows 10) app: support for adverts and live events will be added, but the ability to download content is being taken away....

banana_lama ,

Took me a minute to figure out why these 2 updates would be bundled together. Must be cause if you downloaded something you'd be able to bypass their ads

banana_lama ,

The ad design could link to the products and out of Netflix. So they wouldn't get clicks

Idk I didn't have expertise in this space

Power in the US is held within an oligarchy and when they are threatened people get disappeared. There's examples of that but one that's being made an example of in broad daylight is Julian Assange

Why does it matter? The standard is now open and can be used by everyone. It's just like CCS now from a usability pov but with many more chargers

banana_lama ,

I didn't really follow. Because the way it happened was, Tesla can make money from it's charging stations and other OEMs get a robust charging network.

banana_lama ,

How many ccs chargers are there compared to nas? That's the question that matters to GM Ford and other automakers

banana_lama ,

It's a headstart for a robust charging network while other charging station companies build more to catch up

banana_lama ,

I understand that. But building chargers using their ports is an option and will be something that happens. It just answers the customers of other OEMs of whether to charge their cars now.
And even if Tesla controls a significant portion of the charging infrastructure now there'll be others that build chargers with that standard with time.
And I'm sure there was some closed door agreement they came up with on pricing
