I guess their new free plan changes means they force you into linking your account with Google, make you spam done on a million websites as they try to make you change the email associated with them and to use their mobile app.

If you don't do these things you lose your free data allowance!
And as a paid user it's even more annoying shit to deal with when visiting your inbox!

The best part? Doesn't even allow you to dismiss it.

Why does Proton keep making the UX worse and they are getting more aggressive.

Just ignore the "triple A" industry and games are usually great. Lots of small passionate studios still pumping out quality stuff.

Just another lesson to wait months after a games release before even considering it.

It's almost like if people understand why someone is doing something, they don't judge them! Maybe people should just stop judging people if they don't understand them!

This was probably more the cashiers got shouted at for talking to their boyfriends for a couple minutes when they came in.

Names a European store.

They sell like coin shaped discs you can put on your keyring, dunno if that's a thing in the US though.

TLDW: They are basically advocating for selling assemblies of parts for "user safety". So for example, if one chip on a motherboard was broken, instead of selling the individual part, they want to sell you the entire board with all the other parts attached (which can cost nearly as much as the device was new).
Video also highlights how you can buy a device cheaper than the cost of buying a genuine part from the manufacturer.

Google are grabbing good PR headlines with backing one complaint point in the right to repair scene, but then also backing a bunch of anti-repairability in the rest of their post, neatly snuggled away in a bunch of corpo talk bullshittery.

Completely ignoring Chrome's success is off the back of it being advertised on the world's most popular website since it's release, then yeah.

Not only preordering, spending almost 50% more on the game just to play it 5 days early. The fuck is wrong with people, no wonder the industry got like it is.

Good, they absolutely fucking butchered the game just to sell cosmetics and heroes.
