Oh, we had something like this in college. The vendor would load up the... well, actually, it was more like a big version of those little coolers you see in the checkout line in grocery stores—the ones with the sodas and stuff in them. Anyway, the vendor would load them up every couple days. It'd have sandwiches, salads, puddings (which were actually really popular), sodas, Gatorade, water, and a bunch of other stuff. If we wanted something, we would just get it out, scan the barcode on the scanner attached to the handle, tap our phones or cards to pay, and be on our way.

It's worth noting that the saved pages are the only thing that are back for now. Their other services have not yet been brought back online.

and complained on mastodon that it's stupid design that mod logs are public. [Screenshot]

Maybe they should've, you know, looked at the site for 2 minutes before signing up. The modlog is linked at the bottom of every page.

Honestly, the only reason I remembered Prime Day last week was because an order I'd placed for something was scheduled to arrive then. (The only reason I ordered the thing from Amazon was because it was the only place to get it. I much prefer ordering from Best Buy and using their store pickup.)

Like I said, the illustration does break down.

I think OP is saying that, while you can buy a book to read it, you do not own the copyright to that book. They're saying it's basically the same idea with GOG.

The illustration does break down, but I think their point still stands.

Good thing I don't use Tabs.

Game still requires either full or limited data collection in order to play. It apparently asks you for permission after the intro cutscene.

Sadly, based on reviews for the game on GOG, while the game is technically DRM-free (in that it doesn't Emily any of the traditional DRM like Denuvo), it still requests either full or limited data collection.

In the US, you typically have to type in your debit/ credit card's info (the 16-digit number, the 3-digit security code, the cardholder's name, and the billing address on file with the bank) on a website in order to purchase something unless you're using PayPal, Google Pay, or something similar to that that the website supports. If you're using any of those, a pop-up usually opens asking for login info, then you select a card or bank account to use for the purchase.
