Me too! Except I wondered why my non-tech wife had stopped complaining about ChatGPT limits, and it turns out she has quietly been subscribing to Pro plan. It's happening.

I have an opposing viewpoint here. Incompressible to me how normalised copyright theft has become in the commercial emulation space.

There are huge YouTube channels such as Linus Tech Tips reviewing $100 devices that contain copyrighted games that would have retailed for over a million dollars. This is not normal and is very different from an individual downloading some ROMs.

And to clarify the story, this guy is being investigated because it was suspected he was selling these devices, not just reviewing them.

No, one cannot just comply with the "general rules" of GDPR, you have to comply with every last letter of the considerable legal legislation. The fact that the rules can be generalised to a reasonable few paragraphs is meaningless.

Strong words, but you make a valid point about Microsoft having a grotesque understanding of consent.

This is fantastic really. I run a Windows 7 laptop as part of my setup, and there is a real dearth of resources for securing Windows 7 online in 2024.

I'm shadow banned so no-one is going to read this comment.
