Doesn't matter if you are talking about downsides. Digital movie has no downsides, DRM on other hands has as we all know. Only valid complaint here is DRM and it always was. We were warned but nobody listened.
Re:The deception of “buying” digital movies on Tuesday October 04, 2022 @09:33AM (#33080117)
That is feature of DRM and has nothing to do with digital movies. If you bought DRM locked product that you are not really an owner. You can play video file anywhere in the world and any time.

Second issue is if you bought it trough a service and keept it there, then you definitely not the owner...

After all that he said, this is what you decided to comment on? I guess he was right on the money.

Not true, there is second year of warranty that needs to be given to customer by store where device was purchased. Only difference is you will ask you for receipt. (I work in Apple authorised repair store)
Re:USB-C Port on iPhone on Monday July 18, 2022 @03:17AM (#32135584)
A lot of people come to my repair shop with Apple devices. Many of them have “mushy” feeling UCB-C ports that don’t click when inserting a cable. It seems that Lightning port is vastly superior.

I use a AdGuard Pro, StopTheMadness and a DDG for years now. I don’t miss anything as far as I know. You also have a choice of “different” browser that might offer more.

It is great, it's turned on and it's running in the background. I don't even notice it.
Re:Ask HN: Is Apple down? on Monday March 21, 2022 @03:30PM (#30758630)
Yes. I have been doing that for quite some time.
Based on EU Charter of Fundamental Rights.

Any discrimination based on any ground such as sex, race, colour, ethnic or social origin, genetic features, language, religion or belief, political or any other opinion, membership of a national minority, property, birth, disability, age or sexual orientation shall be prohibited.

Is this then legal?

I doubt they will say no to the money.
Re:Spotify deletes 70 Joe Rogan episodes on Sunday February 06, 2022 @08:37AM (#30232362)
Fair enough. So what opinion did you formed on JRE? As someone who listen to bunch of his podcasts before I will be able to say is your opinion accurate.
Women aren’t “sexed” at birth. Woman means adult human female. Female is sex of a organism and is distinguished by egg cells (gametes).
If trans women are women why are you calling them trans?
Completely wrong? You mean like mainstream media often is?
Re:Robert W Malone account suspended on Twitter on Thursday December 30, 2021 @07:06AM (#29736057)
Like what?
WhatsApp is end to end encrypted, but its owned by Facebook who can’t be trusted so it does not preserve privacy at all.
I started using Apple’s built in 2FA and I have no issues. It’s get filled in automatically. Didn’t had issues before either when I just copied and paste code manually.
StopTheMadness for Safari in Mac app store provides extensions for Firefox and Chrome. At leas it just to, i think it still does.
StoptheMadness does. Since I already have it installed dunno will i get anything new with this extension.
That is not completely true. There are many who are not deciding on what ads are shown and have no control over it.
I run it with recommend options + Show video controls and Stop autoplay and I have no issues other than occasional glitches because those two advanced options. What problems do you have?
