I'm more concerned that the company decided it was OK to meld the "From:" line of her email (asking for support) into her profile. If they think that's an appropriate way to handle PII, I don't trust them.

I hate patent trolls, but I will say "it couldn't have happened to a nicer company". I hope they both go broke on legal fees.

I generally have to disagree on it being disrespectful. There's an inherent cost in any business relationship that has to be accounted for with low volume partners. Every company that offers volume discounting does it for this exact reason -- the price per piece doesn't change, but the other costs can be spread over more pieces.

Could Valve eat some of this cost to promote indie development? Absolutely. But it's not disrespectful to price your product with volume discounts.

Thanks for your comment. I usually travel alone and was like "why would anyone subject themselves to AirBNB." I appreciate the context and perspective.

Not at all! I had to use ID.me for unemployment and it skeeved me out too.

But you didn't use the word normal / plain / vanilla. You used proper, which is a loaded word.

Most of the novellas in The Murderbot Diaries are short. If you like the first one, the rest are more of the same. And if you don't, you only invested a little time.

Why the editorialized title? Why not use the one from the article?

They're working to improve login.gov to support the level of user verification needed for this service, but it isn't there yet. Hopefully next year when tax time rolls around again.

 

This guide isn't a "what not to buy" list. It acknowledges that no internet-connected toy can be entirely child proof because tech companies have yet to prioritize children's safety in their designs.

 

It’ll be out in 2026, and Starbreeze are being upfront with the fact it’ll be a games-as-a-service-type game.
