Bruh, till I read this I was so confused, like Adobe is taking on Adobe? lol, what?
Yeah it made pretty big headlines. It wasn’t so much the DRM but more the way they went about sneaking it onto people’s systems. And even after people were exploiting the kit, Sony did this:
“Russinovich noted that the removal program merely unmasked the hidden files installed by the rootkit but did not actually remove the rootkit.”
There are few companies I will never support. Sony is one of them. They have absolute seething hate and disrespect for their customers.
Yeah he talks about it in his book which is a fascinating read due to all the anecdotal stories he injects. Highly recommend!
What a time to be a hacker tho, back in those times when cops didn’t even know what a computer was lol.
RIP

Blizzard had plans to dump the launcher shortly after D3 2.0 dropped. Then they backpedaled and where like no wait launcher is great! 🤷♂️
“Players on Steam will still have to connect Overwatch 2 to a Battle.net account, but they’ll have access to all of Steam’s amenities like their friends list and achievements.”
Lol. Okay then.
What a company Christ all mighty.
Let’s go with the native clients 🙏
Looking amazing 🙌
About as well as Twitter does. It’s literally a Twitter clone. Not really good for micro blogging.
I think that would be priceless. Send out a million TVs thinking man we are gonna make bank. Literally 990k jailbreak and use it as a dumb TV lol
(I have so much venom for this idea in general.)
Yeah this. I was reading expecting some critical board got damaged or something with the electrical system that also had to be replaced, but nah, they just had to take more apart to get to it.
My uncle was a mechanic, he’d have to take engines apart he wasn’t charging no $42k for even 3 days labour.
Just dealership shenanigans it sounds like.
Yeah, I’m over here egging them on like push more people here let’s go!
Do it. Let the rich eat themselves.
I think any smart run company left Twitter the moment Elon took over (in his own eclectic way carrying a kitchen sink).

Just one, one drop in a sea of lunacy and megalomania. But that’s Elon. Now if this guy took over a company that directly impacted your profits, what would you do?
The real sad thing is that even if he is the Yahoo to Tumblr, it won’t impact him one iota. He’ll still be rich as all creation and people will still fawn over him and listen to what he has to say.
