Yes, it is the lazy way to secure accounts. No defense there.

Yeah this is the cancer that is email 2FA.

Unfortunately email is the only way they have to verify your identity. No email, no account. But this is very much not exclusive to Rockstar.

I changed my email a couple of years ago and it’s absolutely astonishing how many companies are completely unequipped to deal with someone changing or deleting their email account.

I switched to Slate

I cancelled my reservation after the 16th prototype and 3rd fundamental design change.

What apps are pre-installed? Anything other than the stock Google stuff?

Where are you? What OS?

I’m not surprised at all.

One is a vide game, the other is a board game, how much could they possibly have in common?

Ah yes, let’s exploit the intellectual property of a hit video game to advertise a board game that has nothing in common.

So because crypto has been used for scams, no one should use it or support someone who accepts it?

No because it’s used almost exclusively in scams. Also because of the insane environmental impact.

Wait till you hear about fiat.

I’ll say the same thing about platforms like Zelle or wire transfers. If someone asks you for them, it’s almost certainly a scam.

Crypto is only rife with scum because of its privacy.

• Lack of any regulation whatsoever. And increasingly so with the new US administration.

You’ll want a PCIe 3 NVME drive at minimum

They never said that. Just said you need an SSD, preferably NVMe.

No but I did.

What would you use instead?

LiberaPay? Kofi? Givebutter?

There are lots of other private ways to donate that don’t involve scams.

Its also rife with scams and incredibly volatile.

I did read the article. Crypto is just not even worth mentioning.

1. Develop a privacy-friendly app store.
2. Only accept donations through Microsoft.
3. wHy IsNt AnYoNe dOnAtInG?
4. Fail.

There is no way to buy them.

Ways to what?

They want these people to license the rights to play the game at events, etc. Like showing a movie or a sports game.

Lots of people do not buy them, for exactly this reason.

When I can play Pokemon games on my Steam Deck I’ll think about buying them. Until then I’ll continue hating on Nintendo to anyone who will listen. And many more who won’t.

One of my friends told me they bought a skin in COD and I immediately thought less of them as a person. Like, at least have some shame 🤣

It’s sad that any of this was ever allowed to happen in the first place, and that it took a giant corporation to break it up. This shit should have been stomped out 20 years ago when it was beginning.

Boy I sure am glad BSky has these character limits. Would hate for this story to be too long.

What is?

that a laptop/notebook can’t achieve

It’s not going to do anything you can’t do with a laptop because they’re using laptop processors.

but a traditional deskrop/sff system is to big for.

Too big how?

Besides a server…

Ah I see the problem now, it’s full of affiliate links

I didn’t realize you could run Zwift on your own PC…

So no one is actually gaming on them, right? Because that sounds really dumb.

Super helpful, thanks

Anything else?

What are people doing with these mini PCs?

I’m shocked.

All Rockstar games belong in the garbage

Oof.

tldw?

You didn’t answer anything about why they would care about PR. Is it your position that people would stop using CCs because some entity got noisy about them being used to buy pr0n?

You’re being needlessly pedantic. If it makes you feel better, I can ask the question again:

How do they apply pressure?

Not me but

How do they apply pressure though?
