If that was the business, yes. The first rule of understanding the business is understanding the business model. Not the product. If the business model is a subscription, then you look at the moat. If the moat is not there - you are not that much different from Microsoft Office (which arguably has a larger moat).
What was botched about it?
No, I will pirate autogenerated movies/shows/games. Not paying for that sht.
Oldies let's gather here.
You are giving a line by line answer to AI slop.
People should be educated about AI gotchas.
If apple indeed use shit posting, there has to be several layers of subcontractors in between for plausible deniability. Apple's own comms guidelines strictly prohibits pay-per-review, manipulative, "shit posting" style practices.
For 60% of the world, it doesn't make a difference. Do not project your gendered (read: sexist) language constructs onto us.
Yeah, through multiple layers of approvals. Not shtposting on hacker news.
This, from a 1 day old throwaway account, tells a lot.
True - you avoid widespread attacks, but you become super vulnerable for targeted ones.
mutt is still being actively developed. Being on command line doesn't make something legacy. Eudora on the other hand had its latest version out 2 decades ago - it lacks even the most basic security updates (starting from TLS, but many more).
I understand BBC may not have the technical background to critically assess this approach, but whoever using Eudora (I loved it in 2001 btw) for security should get their credentials removed via King's order. Security through "obsolescence" is no different from security through obscurity - therefore, it doesn't work. Somebody not bothering to look for holes in your software doesn't mean they don't exist - in the age of Claude - I am pretty sure I can destroy your legacy software in minutes.
At some point it's going to catch up. Legislation is a very hard process.
No - it means you are exposed to - electricity / gas / oil prices. Or Wheat maybe?
Nice Ramen sold at 14 EUR are those prices. In Japan, you can have a nice hinge quality bowl of Ramen for around 7-8 EUR.
That's why you should try it in Japan.
You are naive. Nothing to do with empathy. Everything is cash - warm little cash. No what's lost is - people stopped voting with their wallets. When someone did something atrocious, people stopped buying it. Now - first of all, half of the consumers don't care if PS5 titles are on disc already. And they will not stop when they stop putting things on discs. So why would Sony stop?
Ok great don't buy them in digital form so Sony learns a lesson?
Maybe introduce virtual scratches? Or like maybe blur the textures a bit every time it's played?
Is Dorohedoro S2 out? Wa wa wee wa!
Kidding aside, did you pick those 2006 releases at the time they were being released or are you picking them up from a list after years of refinement and discovery? It's completely possible that 2026 will be as fruitful from a 2046 perspective.
If they don't do it, somebody else will. It's better white hats get there first.
If you can't imagine the scale of a retailer's etnerprise architecture, maybe it's a you problem?
Same argument goes for cigarette and alcohol. Withholding access to them is a decision a parent can make. Are you for allowing children to purchase them?
Well - ketchup on your disc may drip on the the laser diode - don't you think it's hard to defend against? maybe they need lens wipers against ketchup on the disc issue.
True, but I see how much of a leverage AI tools give - I would like to exploit them as much as possible and only use my experience where necessary (not necessarily when typing code). I can individually instruct Codex or agents to do somewhat complex work and review and merge, but I am wondering if there is a better way to set everything up.
I can smell the reply of someone who doesn't have a teenager from a mile. Yes, you will do everything right. Yes, your kids will be perfect. Everyone has a plan until you get punched in the face.
What is your CI like? Do you auto deploy somewhere?

I have been working as a software developer for more than 20 years now. Been around the block a few times. Thanks to generous allowances in my current place, I've dipped my toes into LLM world and am quite impressed with it. However, we are on a legacy code base, LLM impact is limited in a sense. If I was to start a new project (let's say a web app with backend) - what is the state of the art...
