That's kind of cool that nearly the entire community banned together and made Sony rethink their policy.  Well played.

Yes excellent! Sony has always done underhanded things and have wanted to do this for awhile. I am glad the community made them change their minds. However their steam page still says it is required .. hmm..

I never shopped there but whenever it comes to buying through China that does not surprise me. Still, it is rather shocking.

And I keep getting real life friends sending me invites to Temu. That is HOW they get the free stuff I guess? By getting new users. It is extremely popular to send invites on Facebook and other social media.

There is usually some form of a catch to anything offered as "free".  And with organizations like TEMU, it's commonly something that is basically worthless, but enough to reel in the suckers.

Some of that is regular entertainment on sites like TikTok.  Our society is full of degenerates that get their kicks from causing harm to others.

Oh, do I have a good one to share.  As this one affected me at work when I couldn't perform any vehicle emissions inspections because the states database servers went down for hours.

Yes Dave told me all about it and gave me links to post since he isn't posting here anymore. I am moving this entire thread to the geek section as it should have never been in the general section in the first place.

I have also found a few videos I wanted to post on this:
