Honest question here. Could it be possibly that as they improved their DRM with more triggers and methods that it has started to impact performance since 2016?

As Empress was cracking Denuvo, I wouldnt be surprised if they started to quickly add extra defencive measures compromising what could have been optimised in the past.

Yes it’s bad. Competing for market share should be balanced and free of government intervention. How does a company (small or large) hope to compete against a company that is being subsidised.

Tesla can then undercut their competitors as they don’t need to make a profit. They’re subsidiesed.

Then the government has also imposed regulations for car manufacturers, that if they don’t sell enough EVs in the year, they have to pay a penalty by buying carbon credits.

Well Tesla sells those carbon credits. So they can undercut their competition, entice consumers with lower prices and recoup the losses through subsidies and selling these credits. All thanks to government intervention.

Basically screwing competition and screwing you. As these have knock on effects.

I still feel that silicone is more reliable than dealing with organic matter that can die.

How do they keep it alive. Do you need to feed it or keep it in special conditions? With time, as the cells age, would you lose performance?

I no longer recommend 1password. I purchased their life time guaranteed license, only for them to change to a subscription service and gave a middle finger to anyone who bought it. They didn’t even honour their original customers, they offered one or 2 months free. Nah, no thanks.

I would rather try KeePass. That service is open source and free.
