not true. Plenty of people use Yahoo, Outlook, Proton, and some even use AOL!

Yes they did. Should they not be upset about it because they knew it was going to have it?

HD2 had a linking requirement that was disclosed on Steam from day 1.

You don’t need to be “privileged”. You buy the game, play it for an hour, leave a negative review, then refund it.

But it’s also a lot easier to build a centralized service like that than to get people on a decentralized one.

Is it? No one seems to have problems using email.

I think people want to support encrypted communication apps in general, not Telegram specifically. It’s just that there are many far more secure apps.

Network effects… Once community picks the app, it ain’t changing.

I think you’re sidestepping the question though. The question is why the community picked the app.

It’s a device designed to receive signals

Yes but only specific signals. That’s the whole point.

I’m left wondering how they were triggered. Were they all just set on a timer? Or were they able to somehow remotely send a signal? And if they were able to send a signal, were they also able to intercept messages?

What they’ve done can be described as nothing other than malicious non-compliance and the EU has been dragging their feet on enforcement.

“Historic” is right.

How the fuck did they get access to the camera?

You’re not doing that scene justice. It blares a loud siren and bright lights until you open your eyes again.

More like “we forced an ad while the video was paused and only 30% of viewers immediately closed the window”

I love how they refer to encrypted messengers as “cybercrime platforms”

Any number of reasons.

It becomes a war when the other side returns fire.

There’s their stated goal and their actual goals.

Do you think they’re just going to come out and say that they want your data?

Whats your budget?

My go-to recommendation is the barebones CWWK N100 development board. Then you can add as much RAM and storage as you want. Up to 4xNVMe and 2x SATA drives are supported.

It also uses a normal PC fan jnstead of those whiny-ass laptop fans.

Thats what I use.
