    Think what happen M$ decided to scrap the new data center, or straight up not buying power from the plant? What if the plant can't make a profit? Who is going to pay when it defaults? What if there's a slip up and end up the next Chernobyl? Of course, it's taxpayer who pay all.

    SimpleX: a randomly generated ID you can change any day or time, even one ID per contact/group is possible

    Matrix: you need an email to register. Technically you can have more than one account but last time I use Element doesn't have multi account suuport yet. Not that you can't but more complex and error prone.

    Signal: you need a phone number, which is hard to rotate by the nature of it

    That doesn't make it more private as anyone joining the group can still read you message, despite your intended reader. It is similar to shouting out in a big room, and everyone can listen. Using Tor will only increase your anonymity, i.e. finding who shouted in the big room. There are some minute difference between privacy and anonymity.

  • Steam doesn’t want to pay arbitration fees, tells gamers to sue instead

    Still, the effects benefits the consumer, so I would consider this a good thing.

    Also, I wonder if we can do the same to other companies and let them revert course.

    Oh. Steam tried to rip gamers off so hard that they removed forced arbitration clauses and class action waivers from their terms of service.

    Steam is a monopoly no doubt, but it's not a result of major anti-competitive behavior, but simply because others can't match it.

    If you don't put trust on someone something, you left yourself to trust and do all the works. However, you don't trust yourself either, sadly I can't offer any solutions.

    Actually, this and the Signal group have zero privacy. They are all open, free-to-join groups. The encryption doesn't matter. All it need is anonymity, which I think SimpleX > Matrix > Signal.

    There are reports in Registar's comment section that Malaysia didn't only redirect DNS traffic, but took active measures to block VPN, and MITM DoH where Cloudflare's DoH returns local ISP certificate. > In fact, some ISPs like Maxis and Yes were already blocking VPN (I see a lot of complains on Lowyat.net about Maxis blocking VPN, and I was using Yes WiMax and experienced the blocking firsthand. I couldn't connect to PPTP endpoints and L2TP endpoints caused the modem to disconnect from the network and reboot). > They were outright trying a MITM redirect attack on those using DOH. Many reported error messages saying that Cloudflare's DOH server were practically returning the certificate for Telekom Malaysia's DNS servers. Even with many new technologies, I ralized that I not as safe and free as I want to be, maybe you too.

    If $70 +$10/mo can get me through all those annoying CAPCHAs, I will gladly pay. Of course, if cheaper or even free solutions exists, I will use it. My only requirement is it work 90%+ of the time.

    Just wonder what if my mail server went offline for some periods, and the sending party couldn't deliver. Will there be any consequences except I don't get the mail? I tried searching but they all in the perspective of a sender and get a bounce, rather the other way around.

    Not sure if this is the right place. I'm looking for a foldable treadmill with a tablet stand. I hope it is sturdy enough that won't undo itself, and the motor just don't burnt out once pass the warranty. I have a budget of about £200. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance.

    tl;dr: we will do nothing about it Full response below --- The Government recognises recent concerns raised by video games users regarding the long-term operability of purchased products. Consumers should be aware that there is no requirement in UK law compelling software companies and providers to support older versions of their operating systems, software or connected products. There may be occasions where companies make commercial decisions based on the high running costs of maintaining older servers for video games that have declining user bases. However, video games sellers must comply with existing consumer law, including the Consumer Rights Act 2015 (CRA) and the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 (CPRs). The CPRs require information to consumers to be clear and correct, and prohibit commercial practices which through false information or misleading omissions cause the average consumer to make a different choice, for example, to purchase goods or services they would not otherwise have purchased. The regulations prohibit commercial practices which omit or hide information which the average consumer needs to make an informed choice, and prohibits traders from providing material information in an unclear, unintelligible, ambiguous or untimely manner. If consumers are led to believe that a game will remain playable indefinitely for certain systems, despite the end of physical support, the CPRs may require that the game remains technically feasible (for example, available offline) to play under those circumstances. The CPRs are enforced by Trading Standards and the Competition and Markets Authority. If consumers believe that there has been a breach of these regulations, they should report the matter in the first instance to the Citizens Advice consumer helpline on 0808 223 1133 (www.citizensadvice.org.uk). People living in Scotland should contact Advice Direct Scotland on 0808 164 6000 (www.consumeradvice.scot). Both helplines offer a free service advising consumers on their rights and how best to take their case forward. The helplines will refer complaints to Trading Standards services where appropriate. Consumers can also pursue private redress through the courts where a trader has provided misleading information on a product. The CRA gives consumers important rights when they make a contract with a trader for the supply of digital content. This includes requiring digital content to be of satisfactory quality, fit for a particular purpose and as described by the seller. It can be difficult and expensive for businesses to maintain dedicated support for old software, particularly if it needs to interact with modern hardware, apps and websites, but if software is being offered for sale that is not supported by the provider, then this should be made clear. If the digital content does not meet these quality rights, the consumer has the right to a repair or replacement of the digital content. If a repair or replacement is not possible, or does not fix the problem, then the consumer will be entitled to some money back or a price reduction which can be up to 100% of the cost of the digital content. These rights apply to intangible digital content like computer software or a PC game, as well as digital content in a tangible form like a physical copy of a video game. The CRA has a time limit of up to six years after a breach of contract during which a consumer can take legal action. The standards outlined above apply to digital content where there is a contractual right of the trader or a third party to modify or update the digital content. In practice, this means that a trader or third party can upgrade, fix, enhance and improve the features of digital content so long as it continues to match any description given by the trader and continues to conform with any pre-contract information including main characteristics, functionality and compatibility provided by the trader, unless varied by express agreement. Consumers should also be aware that while there is a statutory right for goods (including intangible digital content) to be of a satisfactory quality, that will only be breached if they are not of the standard which a reasonable person would consider to be satisfactory, taking into account circumstances including the price and any description given. For example, a manufacturer’s support for a mobile phone is likely to be withdrawn as they launch new models. It will remain usable but without, for example, security updates, and over time some app developers may decide to withdraw support. Department Culture, Media & Sport

    If a stamp have a barcode, why not just let people who have printers at home to print it on the envelope directly? This eliminates the need to buy physical stamp, thus the probability of buying counterfeit stamps.

    As a PC player, I never grasp why console players are willing to pay a ransom to access a product and service they already paid for. And worst, this video shows M$ double dip dev by taking a 30% cut plus the cost of game service (like logins, verification, lobby, etc) unlike Steam that already have it covered in that cut, and triple dip by asking player to pay more.

    Am I too pessimistic about this? Today it can detect ransomware, the next day could be malware, and the day after can be any file. It's just a data filter that's build in to a hardware and possibly no way to trun off. Last thing I want is a black box watching what I stored on my drive.
