Mixue. They're suddenly just popping up everywhere, and the price of their ice cream/drinks is dirt cheap to a point where it doesn't even make any sense. I understand that the cost of those ingredients are dirt cheap anyway, but there's no way their margins cover operations, rent, labor.

Ubisoft says you "cannot complain" it shut down The Crew because you never actually owned it, and you weren't "deceived" by the lack of an offline version in c/[email protected]

I have one too but it has an emergency physical "master key". Also there's a port to provide power to it through a battery bank, in case you really run out of juice though it's potentially another point of failure. No internet connection

I'm working on a gameboy emulator and the amount of edge cases you have to consider feels just like this lol.

Nobody is really talking about Reddit dropping value since they banned Luigi posts and sided with Musk to remove communities in c/[email protected]

I also thought the same but Reddit dropped a whopping 50% from Feb. That is abnormal compared the the decline in other stocks. But as for the reason it could be anything really, if you could know for sure you can make a lot of money.

Missed it by *that* much in c/[email protected]

The theory is that on-prem includes a lot of ancillary costs like a team of staff for maintenance (or cost for outsourcing it), hardware maintenance/upgrades, cybersecurity, dealing with failures, backup, load balancing, multi-region/multizone etc.

I don't think cloud solves all these issues necessarily and I am convinced if you do the calculations cloud ends up being more expensive depending on the scale. I think you really pay the premium for convenience, speed (of getting things going) and user experience (the software)

From my understanding the repos wouldn't include the keys (or if they did then they definitely shouldn't). But yeah I understand the long legal battle thing.

What gives them the right to take down emulators? It's just code someone wrote that happens to be able to interpret bytes from a switch cartridge?

Why wouldn't they take down a company like analogue for example for making a hardware level gameboy emulator?
