I think it’s interesting to see the guy in the article saying he’ll never buy another launch CPU from Intel again. I would expect that once Intel puts this behind them, they’ll be upping the QC process to catch these type of things. And hopefully AMD learns enough they can test for it too so it never happens to them.

It’s an addictive drug. Like Dennis Leary said, you could name them Death and make the packaging black with a skull and crossbones and people would buy two at a time.

Do you guys think Rockstar did this, or a Valve employee? If you’ve ever seen the interview with the GOG CEO, he mentions how they routinely have to use these files they find on the internet to get the games to work. Who’s going to prosecute this, Razor, for copyright? Oh, wait. I’d just be a bit more leery if there’s some latent malware in there. But, then again, I wonder if older malware even still works in the new version of Windows. Not that they patched some hole, but more that MS has just evolved Windows and now some things that the MW used to be in one spot are in a new spot, or just outright don’t exist.

As others mentioned, Verisign administers the .com space and they’re raising prices. https://www.politico.com/news/2022/04/09/website-domain-more-expensive-00023524

I do like to keep track of the budget gTLD renewal prices at tld-list.com and use that for my personal use. I have an offbeat domain I registered for 10 years for something like $25 a few years ago.
