That’s good of them. A lot of companies would just say, “fuck it”
I finally kicked the Reddit monkey. Please forgive me.

Where do you think the people who pay the creators get the money to pay them?
ads, mostly.
From sales from the results of the last creators who worked for them.
so? they already got paid. i feel no remorse for pirating from a global megacorp.
And neither should you
edit: and - once again - if i couldn’t pirate it, i wasn’t going to buy it anyway. You can’t even argue lost sales (which the creators never see).
That all sounds like it’s still terrible idea to use optical media for backups
The creators get paid when they do the work, not from sales.
Also, a much more important note: if I couldn’t pirate it, I wasn’t going to pay for it anyway.
And why on earth would I pay for media when I can get it for free?
My Plex server is packed with downloads and rips.
I also don’t care to look
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I quit optical media around 03. Haven’t even owned anything with an optical drive for nearly a decade.
I don’t want physical media because it’s a liability. It can get lost or destroyed very very easily, especially optical media.
Digital copies are portable, I can data hoard them, and, worst case, I can just re-download it.
i guess, but they’re not great for backup. Eps. R/RW optical media doesn’t last that long (5-10 years) and is easily damaged. You’d be better off with tape for long-term storage. or an M-Disk or some similar magnetic backup solution.
the term “physical media” typically refers to portable physical media, such as floppy disks, optical media, and other solutions such as tape.
This term was in wide use before portable hard drives became a thing.
i can’t even remember the last time i saw an optical disc. it must be several years.
I was gonna say: I’d pay just to see that!
You can’t use it to determine both your location and velocity at the same time. (/s)
holy yikes! call Cronenberg!
It is, but only for the iPhone 15 Pro. In fact, only the iPhone 15 and above, will ever get the AI features.
not to mention that the vast majority are in cases, so all you see is the screen anyway
The masterpiece Siri made for my buddy:
“Goes” and “may” are both present participle, whereas “went” is simple past participle. To match “went”, one would have to use the word “might” (simple past participle of “may”). The choice of the word “might”, however, is inappropriate in this context because the headline is referring to something that would happen in the future (and is less than certain to), and the word “might” typically refers to things that could have happened in the past. “May” refers to things that are likely to happen in the present or future, making it the appropriate word choice.
Edit: the verb tenses should match because the first clause is a dependent clause which depends on the second clause which defines the subject “Humane”. If the first clause had been an independent clause, then it would be OK for the verb tenses not to match. Bad style, but not grammatically incorrect.

Or, just hear me out, maybe they’re just not assholes like Adobe.
