Maybe to connect to their update servers and validate updated binaries or something like that? Not sure if it supported calling home to get updates.
Probably a more likely scenario.
Yeah, if they let this guy go, other innocent people might start getting ideas.
I mean, it's the smart thing to do (even from a purely selfish perspective where you want to make sure the project continues to go into the development direction that keeps making you money), but it's not something that's actionable in court or anything like that.
It's probably both. You find an excuse to raise prices, you build in some extra margin so you only have to raise the price in one big go instead of smaller increments that better reflect market prices. Your competitors do the same, and you just tell everyone there's nothing you can do, it's just inflation.
I mean, he probably shouldn't be talking about drag queens.
There's no expectation to contribute back when you use FOSS software, that makes no sense. I'm running Linux on like 10 devices and I've never merged anything in the kernel.
Yeah, but the trick is to form that crater away from your launchpad.
Maybe Russian hackers got into Boeing's servers and copied their plans.
It's just ridiculous the stuff you see that should be easy to catch with basic server checks (even if you were to run them after the fact). Players conjuring money and vehicles out of thin air, moving impossibly fast, vehicles/players with seemingly unlimited hit points, etc. You could easily catch that shit on the server side and ban the cheaters, but instead they go for the most invasive client side shit.
Sure, if you want to stamp out stuff like aim bots and whatever eventually you'll need to look at the client side of things, but in a decade they didn't seem to do anything at all.
This is in Iceland (the country), so most likely that manager is even more fucked than he would be in the US.
I can't believe he was stupid enough to put this in writing.
