This was my plan 3-4 yrs ago when there was a big solar company “get in before the subsidy goes away” push. I must have had 5 or 6 solar companies I talked to, all of them wouldn’t touch that setup with a 10ft pole. They think the money is in credits/chargeback. I want independence. I have since moved and haven’t tried here but that area would get large storms and issues that would require me to have a generator anyway, so Solar + Batteries seemed a no brainer. I still want power independence, but it’s less a necessity here.

I hear there’s thousands of Cybertrucks just sitting around. Seems like a good use for them.

Besides, you just have to hit the important bits. Power, Network, Cooling.

Sadly, you likely signed off on the EULA that you only own a temporary license and that you wave rights to that under certain circumstances and everything else that means you don’t actually own a copy of the game in perpetuity. which means it’s not actually theft.

But this is why I buy DRM free stuff from places like GoG and back it up myself. (and don’t often buy AAA games, or games with anti-cheat)

What would be the recourse? let’s say, magically, Steam goes out of business. Files Chapter 11, restructures, doesn’t work out, no one buys their IP, closes up shop. servers go offline.

Sure they could have open sourced the servers, removed DRM (the publisher would be the more important one for that though), etc. But if they didn’t, they just went under, ran out of money, and they’re gone. Who are you going to sue? How will you get them to do the above? Why would they care? They no longer have money or resources to make it happen anyway. Can’t squeeze blood from a turnip.

Hey now, I was fine with my 7 disc copy of Wing Commander 4. I’ll be good with it again.

$500-$100=$400.00… that’s still $300 too much.

Those websites sound like 100% phishing sites. And how is “trump” even a string that should be part of a .gov website?
