I agree you can find an answer quickly on SO. And you can find it even faster by asking an AI. But you will not have learned much, if anything, by copy/pasting the answer. As opposed to reading the documentation, which might have taught you how to solve similar issues in the future.
I have met few colleagues in my career who bothered to read the official documentation, even when failing to find the answer on Google. Most would either just give up and say the problem is unsolvable (it never was) or try hack after hack until something stuck, never knowing why it worked.
Just because you become an adult doesn’t mean you have to stop having fun and doing fun things. Becoming an adult means you can do whatever you want and not give a s*** what others think.
I have heard the argument that since all particles originate at the big bang, their path and interactions with each other are predetermined throughout all time. I.e. because they all started out in a specific path they will interact with other particles at a set time and place, causing the particles they interact with to change their path, and so on. But since it’s all predetermined free will does not exist, the particles in our brain also originate from the big bang in one way or another.
My thinking exactly. This is probably going to get downvoted, but nobody forced people to buy Nintendo products. Owning video games is not a human right. US capitalism permits Nintendo to charge whatever they want for their goods. If you don’t like it, don’t buy the games. That is your right.
The time it takes to open and list a directory using Nautilus in GNOME desktop. It can take 5-10 seconds with a directory of 5 files, a lot longer if there are 50 files in a directory.
And all the "solutions" I find on the web involve some kind of guesswork and tweaking settings left and right, hoping to somehow hit a magic combination that works.
I have tried over and over for 30 years now and every time I discover something is missing, something I’m not willing to give up. Today it was Google Drive. There are multiple solutions for Linux to mount Google Drive as a folder in the local filtersystem, none of them offer decent performance compared to the windows client. Every time I try Linux something like this comes up.
I’m not an American citizen, so pardon my lack of understanding. But isn’t any company entitled to raise prices on any product as they wish? Just as consumers are entitled to not purchase that product.
Which would make sense, except Sony is literally arguing that they don’t sell you a copy.

Is that because you didn’t bother to read the documentation before using product X, and now you encountered some issue because you used X incorrectly?

I wonder how long before we see laws preventing this practice of disabling games after sale. At least I would expect the EU to stop this.
We've been saying that for a long time now. Still going strong, even though I would personally love to see it burst and we can get back to normal.
And everyone is going to buy it just like always. Which proves their strategy works.

Calling someone an asshat for offering a free of charge service for you is somewhat entitled.

Is Sony required to pay the consumers when they make a profit, if their suppliers lower prices?

Writing the software over and over makes no business sense, regardless if it is an AI agent or a human writing it.
Pepperidge Farm remembers.
While I can appreciate mistakes happen, I have bills to pay and any delays in payment will result in fees that I have to pay out of pocket.
Why wait for 2nd missed? First time the pay is not in my bank account on the due date, I no longer work for the company.
