And Kernel level anti-cheat isn't stopping them.

Are you pretending that Starlinks upfront cost of $599 and $120/mo is affordable for the community that this article is about?

$120 per month is well within the range of most monthly internet plans. The article doesn't say how much monthly service for this county-driven initiative will cost. Yes, there's an upfront cost (though cable providers typically have a hookup too) but it's not huge in comparison to monthly fees.

I'd consider paying that much for 10gpbs, but nothing less.

That's nice for you.

We got starlink for our rural property. We were previously paying over $200 a month for vastly inferior service (long range Wi-Fi), much slower and dropped out all the time.

If you can get a wired connection, get it. Starlink is for people who can't, and it's far and away the best option for those people.

If you have better/cheaper options, by all means take them. Many people do not so it's pay that or do without.

Some people, but I very much doubt most.

I wrote "many." And, yes, many people do not have good wired Internet access and paying a relatively small premium to get the equivalent of wired broadband access at all is worth it for a great many of those people. No one is asking you to pay if you have better options.

You don't need any enterprise hardware to use taildrop.

> - "Taildrop is only available on Synology with Tailscale v1.18.2".

> - "Currently that means you need to manually install Tailscale on your Synology NAS."

Only apply if you're installing it ON Synology hardware, otherwise it is matter of installing the tailscale client and opting your network in.

Why do anything if there is already someone doing it?

After seeing this happen time and time again, it's kind of a wild decision to make. So many negative reviews I see these days are about performance issues.

You would think a little more time would be put into reaching at least some reasonable performance level.

Unfortunately, negative publicity from bad performance doesn't really stop these games from selling well, as proven by most AAA releases in the past few years.

Skylines isn't an AAA release though. And the first game was only really successful because the prior sim city was full of user hostile changes. The new game similarly banks on the accumulated positive image of the first one. To risk all that with a user hostile, awfully optimized early release is a risky game to play.

The studio already killed a series once with a bad second entry, cities in motion 2...

From what I understand...they don't. Everyone that I know who participated in online dating mostly just gave up on it.

That's strange, from my point of view it seems that nobody meets in real life any more, almost everyone seems to have met on Hinge

Hasn't mitchellh stepped down from a leadership role? Why would he have "the ultimate input on this decision"?

Did he give up his seat on the board? His voting rights? I assumed he still has, or effectively has, full control.

He also stepped down from the HashiCorp board[1].

Doesn't work for all services. Some services will, if unable to charge the card,send whatever amount to collections, and now they have to deal with that.

Debt collectors are persistent, but hey at least if they follow me to Hell maybe they can take a tour, check out apartments for their stay.

Or pester your widow(er)

You could say the same thing about comments and yet you still decided to post one.

yes that was the point of the comment. or did you miss that?

you didn't mention that, so it was easy to miss.

and if you had mentioned it, my response would have been: "so why did you bother to comment?"

Someone in Las Vegas last month lost $10,000. For the last 7 years someone has religiously purchased lottery tickets, never winning. Was gambling good for them?

See, we can all play this shit game.
