It is.
Lack of sleep and leisure time will do more damage in the long run than the short term benefits of 16+ hours of learning a day will ever do good.
I remember when Steam the software was the worst piece of software on my computer. And it stayed that way for long enough that it became a meme.
My point is that owning games was never any good because there was always some severe limitation on your legal rights since the game itself is a piece of software and there’s no universal way to guarantee your ownership of a piece of software.
The disk could always break. If there was any online component, they could always take down the servers. Or if the game was broken from the start or became broken at any point, they could always just never provide the necessary update to make it playable.
I’ve never really been one to sell my games because I’m always wanting to go back and play them later, so I can’t really offer any input on that fact.
I just prefer the system that gives me at least a paper thin guarantee over the one that’s less convenient and has absolutely no guarantee.
At least it’s digital rights control now instead of your rights depending on a fragile piece of plastic and aluminum.
What good is legally owning a game if I lose access to it just because it physically broke? I’d still have to buy it again (or pirate it) if anything happened to the disk, so IMO, it’s a wash.
We give up legal rights in exchange for extra short term safety and convenience. And if Steam or the developer ever takes it away from me, I can always just go pirate it to get it back.
I’m fine with the dongle because all I ever use the headphone jack for is for listening in my car (no bluetooth), so the dongle just stays on the end of the aux cord in my car.
No dongle would obviously be better, but it’s a very minor inconvenience for me,
And the two established businesses just artificially lower their prices to keep out the competition, forcing the third to stop trying to compete.
Only thing I can figure is to have more space for that ad.
Yeah, Linus admitted that himself. He still owns the majority, and Yvonne owns the rest. The CEO really can’t actually do anything that Linus doesn’t want, he’s just a figurehead and businessman there to keep Linus from being forced into the office and off the camera.
I really only ever followed any tech channels for cool videos and news, reviews are nearly pointless to me until I’m trying to actually buy or recommend something.
But outside of an occasional great video or at least great topic (like the 48kW fan), LMG barely offers anything special in that space anymore, despite still being the biggest outlet. GN has news down pat (along with reviews), Storage Review and STH cover enterprise stuff that Linus has only exceeded once with the million dollar (or whatever it was) setup, and plenty of channels do guides.

Very relevant.
Basically, it’s a combination of new foods and exposure to new bacteria.
