Producers sometimes like to include personal references.
I’d rather have that than micro transactions or unfinished games with half of what was promised or less.
Pas de parenté réelle avec l’écrivain.
Bâtard d’une diaspora honnie. Ne parle pas la langue.
Procédurier chaotique.

I agree, people buy cars like this though, to me modern cars are extremely annoying because of this extreme cost-cutting without any thought put into it. They even lack basic functions like dimming the gauge lights that were standard in the 1980s on cheap cars, or turning off a screen completely and still having the steering wheel controls for the radio… turning off ESP for getting out of slippery places that it gets confused by is also a challenge on a lot of cars.
People have very different priorities from commercial users that need an impeccable safety record and no compromise on reliability, they’re buying a steel box on wheels to get from A to B, preferably in a fashionable shape.
If you’ve ever nearly died because the car decided a reflection was an imminent collision risk and braked hard on the motorway, you know that cars are way worse than Boeing.
Everything is integrated into the computer network for every function… so if you want an old style analog speedometer how analog do you go? Cable on the gearbox (no software, no bugs, no electronics if you choose a mechanical gauge)? Separate sensor near the transmission (basic analog electronics)? Analog readout from the multiplexed network on an electronic gauge?
Cars are already incredibly complicated and expensive to meet current legal requirements.
Using a VPN makes it a bit harder for your ISP and the French espionage apparatus to siphon your data as much as anyone not using one (ISPs have to keep a history for up to a year as well, it is a legal requirement to make it easier to spy on people). Of course with the laws in Five Eyes countries it won’t actually protect your privacy 100% if you get your VPN service from there but I don’t think France has the budget or capabilities to keep track of every foreign VPN company even with cooperation from other spy agencies.
Old trash cans and even sturdy bags work for potatoes if you can’t find big pots. Clean pallet wood that has only heat treatment can also be used to make planters that last a few years.
That might explain some insane replies I’ve seen in the past.
That’s what I wrote.
They have DRM, even if easy to go around it, it doesn’t make sense to pay loads for a shitty medium with obstacles to getting what’s on it… it sends the wrong message to the criminal organisations peddling them.
Works like that in Belgium as well.
France trusts that people will be nice but if landlords play dumb there’s 10% interest per month after one month, and it can be expedited in small claims court if you prove bad faith and/or fraud.
On me it barely works to use alcohol, I don’t know how they make the stuff for surgeries but it is the right viscosity and concentration of iodine and other stuff to really remove anything alive without using a lot.
I have yet to find something that works as well for cotton with gunky deodorant residue, old t-shirts need a hot wash with a lot of soap and vinegar from time to time, sometimes two washes in a row.
You don’t need to shave, using the antiseptic they cover you in before surgery is enough in my experience, and won’t cause itching and cuts like shaving does.
Vasectomies are cheaper than condoms in the long run, unless you’re a monk.
this is not the 1980s we have reliable protocols for file distribution where integrity checks and load distribution are included
I search for torrents, I usually find anything I want, sometimes it takes a while because the torrents are not very active.
When they started doing away with torrents I stopped even bothering trying their site.
It is diverting the content from public torrents for the sole reason that no one can be bothered to make decentralised cataloguing work better than in the early 1990s in my very biased opinion.
Until it gets nuked by pigs stealing everything. A decentralised pirate catalogue based on Musicbrainz is something I want to see before I die. People diverted their efforts into vulnerable private trackers instead.
Single point of failure also. What.CD was the best vaccine against them: those naive idealists had hosting in France…
It’s consistent if they depend on copyright law to make money.
