Because the Firefox looking glass fiasco wasn’t close to the same level and they immediately responded to criticism on the issue.

Meanwhile there is a pattern of behaviour like this from Brave.

Thanks for this

It does often feel like as soon as a significant hurdle is overcome, the industry just makes another one.

Hopefully SteamOS/Steam on Linux gets enough traction to force publishers to reconsider.

It would be six days at max, assuming they managed to steal the certificate immediately after it was issued, otherwise it’s gonna be even less.

Having the certificate doesn’t automatically mean you can change the site, if you have control of the site hosting you likely wouldn’t need to steal the cert anyway.

Stealing the certificate would allow you to run a man in the middle type attack but that’s inevitably going to be very limited in scope. The shorter time limit on the cert reduces that scope even further, which is great.

Since most Let’s Encrypt certs will have an automated renewal process this doesn’t even really change the overhead of setup so I think this move makes a lot of sense.

There are other things certificates can be used for as well of course but I’m just going off your example.

The problem with that approach is that the authentic disc is effectively used as your licence at the moment. There wouldn’t be any effective way to stop piracy with offline zip files

back in the 360/Wii days you could often download and install updates from a disc or USB stick since they still had to be digitally signed anyway.

Not an ideal solution but still no reason why we couldn’t still do that to have offline copies of updates for preservation

Yeah same, I remember initially feeling the Outlook integration was extremely clunky, for example, but there’s a big simplicity to being able to grab a recurring meeting link and then just attach it to any meeting regardless of whether it’s rescheduled or has an unusual pattern.

Teams is much more annoying in this regard since it pretty much requires calendar integration for the meeting to work. Trying to set up any new meeting regenerates the meeting link, and it’s maddening. Like just let these two things not be connected if I want.

Sony really screwed over the play after promising Ice Cream Sandwich

Now I’m picturing a pokémart with micro transactions to buy items and I’m glad this doesn’t exist

D+ dropped support for my tablet since the Android version is too old, but I just ran Firefox in desktop mode and that worked. I don’t know whether it made a difference that it’s a tablet vs phone though

In Windows 95, wordpad was still write.exe, is it possible they just renamed it?

No, it’s not just about DRM, currently the storefronts do not guarantee continued access to the content.

For example, Valve can just close your Steam account at their discretion and you would no longer be able to log in or download any of your games
