Tech sucks now. Nothing I own is truly mine anymore. And things are getting more and more locked into vendor platforms where you actually rent stuff instead of own stuff

That’s far but honestly what is the solution? They know your handle. They can just make a new account and do the same thing if they’re blocked…


It’s extremely difficult to grasp if you’re a complete moron and there’s money being dangled in front of your face.


“I am thrilled to announce that after 35 years, I’ve finally gone full moron, losing the very last of my brain cells”


Make a new account. Easy.


Depends where you live I guess.


I don’t want it either, but look at this and look at gog.


Is it? The sales are often so good, and games I bought 3 or 4 PC builds ago still install and run on my new one.
Also with streak families you can share games.
But I get it, this is more about the used market.
Cause they’re cucks looking for the payouts


You say that, and I’m not disagreeing with you, but when I see the same tool for 1/8the the price direct from China I am skeptical of it’s as good.
In my experience buying from China is hit and miss, I get some stuff that’s vastly better in quality for 1/4 the price. Other times I’ve been burned.
Basically I guess what I’m trying to say, is this whole spending money in life is a song and a dance and trying to figure out what’s best for you and prices can’t be trusted.


I get that, not an issue where I love but I do sympathize and understand where it affects others.


Exactly. And seeing is believing, I’m not trusting some for profit corp with all my traffic data lol.
Also some people dont know how to set up VPNs properly, I realize a lot have apps now but site to site seems to be an option on most. If you just clunk your way through without knowing what you’re doing, you potentially could be opening your whole network to them.
No you can’t trust your ISP either. But this is why things like DNS over HTTPS and other protocols exist to encrypt everything. And if you’re going to that length with a VPN provider, you’re just throwing money away and no better off


That’s kind of like saying you want only amazon to deliver your packages instead of amazon, FedEx, ups, etc.
In other words, a honeypot. Putting all your eggs in one basket.


I remember the first time I went to someone’s house where they watch YouTube to play music on their TV. Every few minutes I almost walked out with the ads. Omg. I don’t even do radio. Play the music and only the music.
They must be accessible only on the internet.
