Start menu is permanently lacking features. But besides that it's not a major change. There is third party softwares that puts back 10 style or other start menus, but heard there are issues with windows updates. Besides that just get shutup10 again and tick stuff off. Pretty much solves it imo.

I finally upgraded to 11 last week by accident. Apparently one misclick means straight to next version with no cancel. So after the upgrade first thing I did was get o&o shutup10 to kill the spywares.

P.s. I know I can revert. But that's also effort.

Yeah this is Lemmy so I can't say your votes turned out unexpected. But you're right, all this will do is make their job end quicker. There's no money to give, Ubisoft is dying as is.

Patent troll means to get patents for purpose of litigation rather than to produce goods.

Wouldn't work. This has nothing to do with Japanese customers or Japanese laws. These aren't even in Japanese courts. It's US patents.

Surprised it's still online. Doubly surprised it's still getting updates.

People are still on EA Origin? They forced ppl to update ages ago. Surprising they even still had the Origin running.

BG2 came out in 2000. It didn't exactly have a huge sales happening in 2023 either. It was largely considered as a shelved IP. Yet BG3 came out with massive success. My point is that you have no point. DA was (I would say "is" if veilguard wasn't such a horrible piece of shit) a strong IP with or without inquisitions long tail given from past sales alone. No one ever goes and says their best selling product ever is a weak IP. It's completely bollocks that you're framing it as a weakening IP. Clearly BioWare thought it was strong too since they've spent huge amount of budget into veilguard. You're presuming you know more than their huge investment and sales projection team about Inquisition sales.

Besides, how would you even know if Inquisition had a long tail or not? You have no figures, this game was released exclusively on ea platform at first and continued to be for a long time until it was finally released on steam. I know, because I remember begrudgingly buying it on ea origin. Steam's public data in this is hardly a meaningful pie. My 12m Inquisition data on sales was their Sept 2024 release info. Which I assume BioWare released to imply a long tail and and continued popularity to get more sales into veilguard. But let's not assume.

Btw, I didn't say you said it didn't have a lot of sales either.

DA:I sold 12 million copies. That makes it the top selling game Bioware ever had.

I bought both cyberpunk and BG3 in gog instead of steam. I would guess cyberpunk sells more through gog than BG3 would since it's their own platform. Would be interesting if gog stats could be seen as well, but since it's DRM free, tracking stats on some people are outright impossible.

Your source says Trump won the popular vote.

Harris got 74.46m votes and Trump got 76.94m votes in the graph.

And the US Election Atlas claims 77.1m for Trump and 74.7m Harris.

I don't use porkbun so I can't guide you in detail. But look for "glue records". Some will just call this nameservers, ns record, or some other confusing and ambiguous lingo (like GoDaddy....). Glue records are separate from rest of the auth DNS servers. Even though you are essentially doing an A record.

So if you have example.com on porkbun, and auth nameservers for this same domain is going to be elsewhere, you can set glue records. Like..

ns1.example.com ns2.example.com

With specific IPs like 123.123.123.123

This will allow you to essentially do the first step and not end up in a cyclic problem of one requiring the other.

I assume this is what you're referring to as the problem.
