It also wants to sync all emails in your server to the cloud. I already have a server, I don't want to do that. I had Mailbird with a lifetime license and they made a new version and they told everyone 'screw you and your lifetime license' . You have to buy again and new version has no lifetime license. Bought em client and I'm happy.

...why none of those big trucks, buses, etc go for a series hybrid (there are some being used, but not enough). Big equipment uses it (check the link). Seems simpler that the current hybrid/electric cars. I think that would be great on big trucks. Have a smallish diesel engine with a generator that powers/charges battery/drivetrain when needed.

I agree there tons of natural phenomena/lens artifacts, reported as UFOs. What about the Navy one where they use the tracking computer on their fighter to actually track the object? I doubt ship electronics would track natural phenomena/lens artifacts. There was something there to be tracked. What was it? I have no idea but it was there.

Yeah, that's right. Sony should be able to abuse consumers as much as they like because video games aren't mandatory...

Charging (or overcharging in this case) for services is abuse? It is not. You charge what the people are willing to pay. If they can't pay for something then they go somewhere where it is cheaper.

I'm not a fan of consoles for this (and other) reasons but ultimately I cant abide a company abusing a dominant position to stifle competition and rip off consumers... even if those users volunteered for it. If we allow Sony to get away with abusing their market position, where does it stop

Sony get a 30% of games from the store, Microsoft (12%), Steam(30%), Epic (12%), Nintendo(30%), Google(15%, 30% if you sell over 1M) , Apple (27%-30%). That percent is the average so Sony is not really overcharging, that percent is the norm. Also are you so naive that you think games will be cheaper if the percent commission is less? Lets check the upcoming Call of Duty:Modern Warfare 2 (2022) prices - XBOX=69.99, PS=69.99 , Steam=69.99. Even though Microsoft gets a 12% commission the price is not lower?? How can that be?? I'm shocked!! Publishers will sell the game at the same price everywhere.

(I'll save you from having to answer that... it'll stop when it gets to something that affects you).

Let me correct you, it'll stop when it gets to something that affects my survival. Again nobody needs videogames, it's not a right.
