Swear to whoever you like - you’ll find words and phrases created for one thing often apply to other things. But if we want to be pedantic, how bout this: I don’t trust Epic Games. They do not do anything for the sake of good, this included. Your logic fails here because this doesn’t spite Apple in the slightest. They still get their money.

Sure, in a nutshell. 1. Here is money, no strings attached. 2. Userbase becomes used to free service, dev becomes used to providing free service. 3. Oh no, no more money… unless you attach these strings.

I would rather pay $10 a year for something that has no Epic Games involvement at all.

This feels like an embrace & extinguish tactic. I’m skeptical this is good for AltStore and its users long term. But then again I’ve always found the AltStore devs practices leaning toward shady. Everyone deserves to be paid for their work but he consistently locks features behind a paid Patreon beta, then doesn’t publish updates for many months. For me personally, this rubs me the wrong way and guarantees I won’t pay.

2 years seems perfectly reasonable. I thought you were gonna say every 30-60-90 days.

Bitwarden exploit was already patched. And required a domain joined PC with Windows Hello active, and the attackers already had access to the DC. Not exactly a large vector. Also enterprise PCs shouldn’t be using windows hello to begin with, IMO. Now if we look at CVEs affecting browser password managers, there are literally exploits for download on GitHub.

This is not how iPhone camera access works. The only way this would be possible would be for Google to be exploiting some permissions bug. Doing so would be cause for the developer account to be banned.

3-in-1? This is at best a 1.5-in-1. A laptop, and an inconvenient tablet.

I’m aware 2-in-1 has been the marketing term for these devices for a while, but where they got “3”, I’ll never know.

What a weird hill to die on. This is not about you. Learning to separate yourself from things like this is a virtue. Clearly you recognize that you “know that’s not what it’s about.” So what is this thread about? Just a way to make something about yourself. Be weird, don’t apologize for it, and learn to respect yourself well enough to separate yourself from things that have nothing to do with you as a person.

One of the few things I still truly love about America. Don’t fuck with our national parks please.

It’s clear you don’t have any women in your life, in any reality.
