It isn’t. And they don’t.

What do you expect them to do? Not actively helping your competition is not remotely the same thing as being anticompetitive.
it’s that there are very good reasons to not have these in my car
There’s also very good reason TO have them, as I’ve already explained.
the loud alarm and policeman on the road searching for the stolen car has worked well for decades
LOL no. It hasn’t.
haven’t heard of car theft in… a pretty long time
Right, my mistake. If you haven’t heard of it happening, it must not have happened.
think these tings do exist, in the form of little devices thay you can connect to your car’s OBD port, and they have a GPS receiver and a SIM slot to do it’s job.
…yes, that’s what we’re discussing…
I appreciate being able to check if I remembered to lock the doors.
How exactly does that work with a keyfob…?
I’d like to see a Sankey graph of where Valve’s money goes before I praise them that much for helping out a Linux distribution a bit.
I’d say it’s a lot more than “a bit”. It’s an enormous amount of help that pretty much everyone in the Linux (professional) community can, has, and will attest to.
I don’t agree that they’re a monopoly, because they’ve done absolutely nothing to prevent competition. Other stores do it to themselves.
I do agree though that their fees are exorbitant and their contributions to Linux are a teeny tiny fraction of their wealth, but I appreciate it regardless.
and a way to tell Windows that they could go without them if they don’t collaborate.
Ehhhh it’s a step in that direction. But as long as 96% or whatever of their users run Windows, it’s hardly much of a bargaining tool.
I do think that’s what they’re working for. After all Windows could flip a switch at any time and royally fuck them.
I wasn’t trying to make an argument either way. Just stating facts…
Honestly the quality of games is the tip of the iceberg.
This is going to be one of those “Ubisoft investigates Ubisoft and found that Ubisoft did nothing wrong at Ubisoft”-situations, isn’t it?
No, this is going to be one of those “our stocks are tanking and investors want someone’s head on a pike” sort of meeting.
I can absolutely Google. But I choose not to. Because fuck Google.
When I did a web search it just directed me back to this same page.
Im not a lawyer but the only thing I can read there is that Valve were denied arbitration.
Thats unfortunate but even at 4k I can’t possibly beat the value at $150 so I will just hold onto it and run it at 4k if necessary.
Oh yeah I did see eDP-1 when I was digging around.
Ah, that makes more sense, thanks.
Well it’s Apple so I assume something proprietary.
They literally don’t.
You literally don’t.
