I looked at the terms of service and noticed that they bind you into arbitration, limit your terms to $100, mandate you to travel to Delaware for dispute, and force you into mass arbitration if your dispute is similar to others.

Here’s the stuff I was able to find. I think I’m missing some Command & Conquer crossover stuff, as well as some celebrity NPCs. NPC_SarahMcLachlan was probably the hardest to find.
Some of these were DLC for the base game that was later added via expansion pack, but it should all be official EA/Maxis as far as I am aware:

Yeah, I went through the hunt about 3 months ago. MANY of those fan sites are long-gone, and archive.org couldn’t save them because they put the downloads behind a login.
There were about 2 good archive locations, but both were incomplete. I got about 96% of the official stuff though.
They gave people who could prove they had Sims 2 the Ultimate Collection on Origin and… you are correct. It was missing content. I see no reason that it won’t still be true.
Heck, for The Sims 1 there was a ton of official stuff that you had to download from Maxis’s website. Some of it is lost media.
SuperStationᵒⁿᵉ is designed to play PS1 games, but the hardware fully supports the MiSTer FPGA platform. If you want to play games from another system, simply load up a core. All without needing to wait for a jailbreak.
Looks like it might not be so limited.
I’m sorry I can’t speak for Apple TV, but I do know Roku. I captured about a month of DNS with a Roku device on the network. It phones home about everything. Even better, they hardcoded the DNS server on the device to prevent tampering with ads in their menus. I had to set up a redirect to quarantine it before eventually taking it off the network completely.
Last I recall, the most private method for general streaming was a cheap Android device from Walmart with a custom OS installed on it.
I can skip over any business that only has a Facebook page. Plenty of choices out there…
What I can’t skip is when a political candidate is only on Facebook. I can’t count the number of times I was trying to research candidates for local election and found they only had their policies on a locked Facebook page. Infuriating doesn’t describe it.
Oh sorry, yeah that was directed towards the comment that the desktop market is getting smaller. I’ve heard that “the desktop computer is dead” for over two decades now, so that wiki page is quite interesting.
I’d love to see the 2024 number once it gets published, because the 2020/1 numbers are such an anomalies from COVID that it’s hard to tell if the market’s actually shrinking or just stabilizing.
I’ve personally seen on at least 5 different Intel models on store shelves. The A380, A580 and the A750. Now the B580 and B570. The A380 stuck around but the others sold out fast from what I saw.
And though they aren’t nearly as large as the two giants, they seem to be aiming for and pleasing the under-served sub-$250 market. Though I wish they’d publish more official numbers. A 6 day slice from a retailer isn’t a great view on trends.
I will forever hate 2007’s ribbon with a passion.
Any source you can cite?
sometimes you think you are old, and then you find out you are oldold and things are a little harder than you realized.
It’s funny seeing interviews with the devs and they basically go “We had no idea what we were doing with the N64. How did this succeed?”
Then you find out about stuff like the fully functional ZX Spectrum Emulator in the game and begin wondering too.

daaang, I completely forgot about when the Novell NetWare administrator forgot to purge the account management tool in the temp folder. I found it and was able to give myself network admin priv.
I didn’t think Debian had support for RISC-V until 13.0 Trixie comes out later this year.
At that age I figured out that I could bypass the policy restrictions on my computer by unplugging the Ethernet cable right after login. Gave me full local admin.
A year or so prior to that I figured out that if you viewed IE’s temporary internet files and just backspaced your way up, you can access the otherwise restricted C:, where I found other kids had already installed games onto.
No way this works for a full school year.
Yeah! My job is to triage, diagnose and remedy. Don’t confuse the two!
IIRC I downloaded Firefox 1.0.4 way back in the day, and kept using it until somewhere around version 6 or 7. Moved away when they started copying Chrome on everything. Rapid-release inflation was the last straw.
You’re not thinking evil enough, honestly. Two examples off the top of my head, each being fairly innocent mistakes: If you enter your phone number for 2FA, it’s not going to be public-facing. It’s their responsibility to keep that information private from internal and external threats. Ok, so what if it leaks… right? Oh, it turns out the hacker SIM swapped your phone number for the 2FA, and did a password reset on your account via support chat. Still no big deal, its just social media… Except you’ve been giving updates to all your patreon backers on your project that’s shipping soon. It suddenly vanishes off the internet, replaced with a crypto scheme, and all your supporters just flooded your bank with chargebacks. Your attempts at getting your account back are met with silence and your supporters are now furious. Was any of that your fault? No. You get $100.
Let’s try another example: Bounty programs are used by companies to collect bugs and other possibly exploits so they can be fixed. “Too expensive, nobody will know if there’s a bug anyway.” So the app on Google Play store gets installed by 30 million users with a critical flaw… if a very specific image is opened in it, the phone bricks. All the news sites cover the bug, pushing the image to the front page. You open the app and… Your expensive phone just died. Were you at fault for that? No. You get to join the arbitration group and get an individual settlement of $12.
Think more evil. Don’t stick with the “I have nothing to lose” because you almost always have something to lose. The fact these terms were even thought of and written means you do have a financial investment in the platform.
