That there are such wild variations in price between countries shows how little that subscription is correlated to any actual costs.
At best subscribers in richest countries are subsidizing poorer ones, but most probably, Google is just trying to maximize the amount of money they can extract from everyone’s pocket. The repeated seemingly random price hikes seem to confirm this hypothesis. It’s just the MBAs enforcing terminal stage capitalism and ruining everything that is good.
“Éric tient plus que tout à son statut de questeur à l’Assemblée nationale, glisse-t-il. Il veut conserver son maître d’hôtel, son cuisinier, son chauffeur. On ne peut pas le comprendre si on ne garde pas ces choses-là en tête !”
This guy could suddenly rupture a brain aneurysm and you wouldn’t even be able to tell the difference.
Mais je t’en prie :)
I don’t disagree, i’m simply trying to present a somewhat less extreme (and therefore i think more appealing) version of your argument
It supposedly comes from originaly counting in base 20 ( a.k.a : vigesimal system) in some proto-european language. There are traces of it in breton, albanese, basque and danish for example. Even in english, there is a reminiscence of vigesimal, in the “score”, see for example Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address which famously starts with : “Fourscore and seven years ago…”, meaning 87 years ago.

You don’t even have to rig a bomb, a better analogy to the sensor spoofing would be to just shine a sufficiently bright light in the driver’s eyes from the opposite side of the road. Things will go sideways real quick.
There’s a typo in the title. If you go back to the original source (in french), they actually retain 79,5 % of their original efficiency, so even better than the article’s title would have you believe.
You could extend that remark to any clothes prominently displaying pretty much any brand as far as I’m concerned. You’re paying extra for the privilege of being a walking advertisement.
“Permission is Hereby Granted” always makes me sooo emotional
Beware of Switzerland !
This shows that not only is the anti cheat dangerous because of its kernel access, it’s also useless since cheaters are bypassing anyways…
Outre le fait qu’ils transmettent du savoir, les profs font aussi office de garderie pour des millions d’enfants chaque jour, ce qui leur donne un moyen de pression massif face au gouvernement. Il suffit de se rappeler les conséquences de la fermeture des classes pendant le COVID et les répercussions sur le travail des parents pour s’en convaincre.
Et pourtant, peut-être par sens du devoir envers leurs élèves ou par apathie devant la destruction méthodique de l’Education Nationale, ils ne s’en servent pas. Le jour où les enseignants se lanceront dans des grèves massives et répétées, le gouvernement ne pourra pas longtemps les ignorer.
I don’t disagree but it seems to me it’s going crescendo, with de facto monopolies running the show and buying anything that could be an obstacle, be it other companies or policymakers.
