They’re still overcharging if their owner could make himself a billionaire out of it and you’re here defending them while you’re overpaying for games that should be much cheaper.

Games in PC began to be cheap thanks to Valve, no one offered the huge discounts like they did in the past. I pirated everything for years but I stopped thanks to valve’s prices. No one became even close to what they offered, and they have become what they are right now with good practices and good services. They could slash their cut in half and still be profitable? Probably, but they are not an NGO.

and then have to spend time figuring out which device on that circuit actually has the fault.

Usually that happens just when you plug it in so…

You don’t need a fuse with modern installations. Still, if needed, there are options that have it in the wall plug.

Left bar is year of release, but is has to be an old graph (apart from the “you are here”)because none of the movies are newer than year 2000.

You think we’re still in 2010? It’s been a while since you need to unlock the bootloader first. And no, you can’t do it with the device locked.

Edit: just checked. I can completely bypass all my locked down Google Pixel settings to factory reset my phone pretty easily if I press the right keys in the right order. It would be pretty easy to steal and resell my phone.

Mind to share what “Keys in the right order” are? I mean a link, of course, because in my experience you just can’t do that with a locked bootloader.

Close to your non standard book measurements. I really appreciate the usefulness of ISO 216, witch is actually a standard.

They look promising, yes.

unemployment

Unemployment levels are at the lowest since 2008.

A5 is actually 21x14,8cm so your books seem pretty close to that aspect ratio.

Let’s check. I grabbed four random German books from my bookshelf. If you’re right, the pages should either be roughly 30cm×21cm (A4) or 15cm×10.5cm (A5).

Book 1: 18cm × 11.5; book 2: 19cm×12.5cm; book 3: 20.5cm × 12.5cm; book 4: 24cm × 17cm. None of those conform to the standard.

A5 is not 15x10,5

If A4 is 291x210 then OBVIOUSLY the next one starts with 210: 210x148.

“Cheaper is cheaper” kind of overlooks the core issue

You said this:

I’d love to buy my games cheaper lol.

I don’t know why you need them to be cheaper before the discount, but okay, I don’t care.

I would genuinely love if you could point me to an example where the non-discounted price of a game is lower outside of Steam than it is on Steam — I’d love to buy my games cheaper lol.

Fanatical and humble bundle (the good old days) are good examples. I don’t know what you say “non-discounted”, cheaper is cheaper no matter what.

This part confuses me. Are you trying to clarify to me that Steam isn’t taking a 30% cut of what gets sold on, say, Epic Games Store?

Steam doesn’t get a cut from keys sold in perfectly legal thirth party stores like fanatical, humble or gmg. Epic does not sell steam keys so obviously no.

I’m not sure about that statement. In my experience, people in Spain does not use butter at all I their homes.

It’s an European law, thankfully.

You can find games sold cheaper than in Steam in many places. You can even buy games outside of Steam and they see 0 revenue from it.

Find me a game that has been de listed from Steam because it was sold cheaper elsewhere. You can’t, so don’t bother.

Your link also has no real life effect.

I get notifications of new contacts that join Telegram so it does. I don’t need to try it myself.

And I don’t understand your cc link and your down votes speak for themselves so stop the silliness.

Stop it with the creative commons link in your comments.

Also, there is nothing wrong with Telegram logins or new accounts.

Well, Tenerife is Spain, but it’s 1700km away, so it’s not the best example.

Still, it depends on where in Spain we talk about, you can see in This map . It’s not that the water is bad, it’s that in many places it has minerals like calcium that gives them undesired taste, but its perfectly safe. I live in one of those black places and most people buy bottled water. I use a Britta.
