Stop buying inkjet printers. Buy a laser printer.
 
Don't get me wrong, laser printers do the same crap and are just razor-and-blades as inkjet printers. It's just that toner carts are much better value for your money than inkjet ink carts, with the bonus of the toner still working perfectly even if you don't print something for a week.
 
The only good case for inkjet is photo printing, but even there you will lose less money long-term buy ordering photo prints online or doing them in a kiosk in a store.

Or you could spend 400 dollars once, not generate 4 printers worth of e-waste, and not have to worry about it for the next few years at all. Idk, to each their own. I know if I need a new printer ever, it'll be a laser or LED one even though it's gonna cost more.

The problem is that the "police" in this case only work with you if you're high enough profile. If you're a random person on YouTube, and someone abuses the broken DMCA to take you down, you're just done. There's no help for you. YouTube just terminates your account and tells you to go fuck yourself.

That has the possible chilling effect of making open-source software illegal. If the source is open, then anyone can modify the program to remove the scanning methods, and that would be against the laws the governments would write.

People are going to hate on Apple, but realistically, 99% of people who absolutely need sideloading are a) developers b) pirates. And they are both a tiny subset of all users that need sideloading. Because reality is, if an app of any kind is not available on GooglePlay or App Store, it just doesn't exist.
 
Arguing that sideloading is required for custom ROM users without Gapps, fair enough, but those are even smaller subset of users within that space of people who sideload.
 
I've been flashing custom ROM's since Galaxy S2 and whole thing is just excessively overhyped. Flashing custom ROM's today is just pointless because of how many apps are bitching about unlocked bootloader and sorry, I just don't have the time to dick around with Magisk to obfuscate that fact from annoying apps. Also in best case scenario using one of most widely used custom ROM's, LineageOS, I was stuck on nightly builds for my phone, so daily unstable updates. Other option are one off forks of literally everything on XDA which are mostly broken and come with literally no support at all. I like to fiddle with things, but basically everything around custom Android ROM's is just idiotic (with exception if you code and compile it all yourself which is a requirement for like 1 in a million users).
 
Just get a phone that has best long term software support. Apple is like light years ahead of everyone, then there is Samsung and partially Google (though they are terrifyingly incompetent with OS they developed themselves) and then it's the rest of phone makers that 99% of all consist of Chinese phone makers that don't give two f**ks about you the moment you carry your phone out of the store and always prefer to sell you a new one over actually supporting it in any meaningful way. Things started changing a bit literally because of how long Apple offers software support, but it's still a LOOOONG way there for Chinese phone makers who mostly base level of support on cost of the phone. If you buy a 150€ smartphone, you basically get no support at all. If phone is 1000€, you'll get 3+1 at best. And even that is usually limited from year they announced it, which was mostly 2021/2022. So, good luck if you bought it before...
 
At the end of the day, no one forces anyone to buy or use an iPhone and everyone knows there is no custom ROM's or sideloading on iPhones. And when you get that out of the way, I see no problem with it. 3+ years on iOS after being Android user for some 10 years. Just for reference...

If this passes in the US I guarantee you, it will begin to exist in other countries too.

Yeah, because adding a pass to a mobile wallet will work on every device because there's a single standard for that-- oh wait, right, there isn't. In fact, there isn't even anything close to it.
 
You can only code your website to have responsive design based on screen dimensions. Until the web and its browsers support a standard of identification for mobile/deskop, any site that has platform-specific features will be required to do identification based on user-agent . There is literally no other option.

It's likely Epic wants to confirm it themselves before alarming anyone. Not smart IMO, but whatever.
 
My money is on a backdoor that only "authorized personnel" are supposed to use, similar to the TSA Approved locks on luggage that only the TSA is supposed to have keys for but you can easily find online.

Well, this didn't age well at ALL. loooooooool

I think investing in facemetabook makes you pretty dumb to begin with tbh lol

I'm not saying it's a good reason, I'm saying that's the reason 😛 
MS is so scared of losing long-time contracts that they will keep shit around well past its expiration date JUST to appease the possibility that something's still using it.
Tell that to the healthcare industry running life-critical applications written in COBOL on 1980's era AS/400 mainframes, lol
 
It's unfathomably stupid but even if MS were to say "VBA dies tomorrow" I really am not sure execs would update/change these processes at all. Until last week, my company was still using Office 2013, ffs. I think MS would have to physically terminate all other licenses of Office except 365 to enforce compliance, which would be an unpopular move to say the least.
