  It’s simple.

  If the money gained by selling user data is greater than sales lost to piracy because of the required account, it’s a win for the company. They probably figure those countries that can’t create a PSN account are lost sales anyway, so screw em, right?

  Bastards

  NGL it’s the only name that readily comes to mind. I’m not deep into cracked games, since my tastes are for smaller games like We Happy Few and Outer Wilds. Steam launcher works fine for those, I’m just opposed to a launcher and account from every publisher. Rockstar, EA, Sony, and others can kiss my shiney metal ass. If I have to create an account, I’m not interested

  This seems like a problem some FitGirl could solve 🤔

  Ok so I’m an absolute novice at this stuff, but basically DNS tells your computer where on the Internet a particular website is located. Its IP address. Your router will likely default to the DNS server your ISP provides. My router, and I would guess most others, allows one to change which DNS server their computer uses. There is a list of DNS servers one can use, and among them is OpenDNS, owned by Cisco. Provided the Jem’Hadar don’t attack, I should be good.

  I’m reaching the end of my knowledge here, hope that summary helped

  I know most of these words.

  Thank you for posting this, I changed my router to point to Open DNS

  Okay, good to know about Voyager. This winter I’m doing a complete 90’s kid Star Trek rewatch, S3 of TNG through the end of VOY. I’ll stick Prodigy on at the end.

  (Starting with S3 because Riker beard. Plus, aside from The Naked Now and Conspiracy is there even a reason to watch the first two seasons? Maybe Skin of Evil for continuity to Yesterday’s Enterprise I guess)

  ♥️ I wasn’t sure if I should spend time on Prodigy, on a scale of Discovery to Strange New Worlds, where would you rank it? I thoroughly enjoyed Lower Decks, if that helps

  3 Body Problem was on my list but the list was in my head and I forgot

  Again, I thank you

  Are there any good shows on Netflix right now?

  I’m not asking to insult Netflix, I just have a spare 5 Tb burning a hole in my NAS that I’d like to fill

  So… I just love that i basically wrote my post as a shitpost because i think the concept of towels forgetting is funny and you answered with a serious and informative response. It is, and i mean this with all sincerity, quite lovely.

  Sadly I don’t need hair care tips anymore, but i bet someone will be like, “Heh, the towel forgets… oh, a T-shirt, that’s brilliant!”

  One towel is all that’s needed. Start at the top, work your way from head to feet, floss the crotch last,. When the towel dries, it forgets, and the towel is clean for the next shower. If you have long hair, a second towel may be useful as a turban
