If you sell the computer with the software preinstalled it would still fall under the selling a product part. So if you'd want to actually have a loophole you'd at best be selling the product without any software, and we both know how well that would go with the masses.
> Blizzard's / Activision launcher was alright though.
I'd personally say it was better as a launcher. Launching Steam itself takes relatively long and when its just in the background its just there idling with ~400Mb of RAM (specifically its WebHelper), which aren't a problem with Battle.net since it idles at 170MB or you can just close it since it launches way faster.
I do mostly agree with you that Steam is better as a storefront than all other ones out there, but in my opinion the Battle.net launcher is still my favorite game launcher edging out Steam because of how snappy it is.
Steam just sometimes feels really slow when launching for the first time or when switching tabs/pages (I do also have it just sometimes be just a black windows, but I haven't figured out the cause yet but it is the only window that does it, so...). In comparison B.net just feels decently snappy.
They are both effectively using CEF for their launcher, but since Steam starts so slow for me I always keep it in the background and its WebHelper taking up 414MB (rn, but its always in that ballpark) is not helping its case.
It wouldn't surprise me if they are looking into making their own RISC-V CPUs, since their coprocessor already is build on it already. They also are porting CUDA to RISC-V (specifically RVA23 is their minimum supported) so it would somewhat make sense to do it.
> Every US president in history has left office peacefully, the most probable outcome is that future presidents will too.
I think you are forgetting a date that happened on the 6th day after the start of 2021. I would most certainly not call that pieceful in any way shape or form (and yes, I count that as part of leaving office, being the certification of the next president). By your logic this would mean that it is unlikely that he will peacefully leave office.
I knew what 0°C is in °F since I know the °C to °F conversion rate, but my European self isn't able to assign any actual reference to that, which made it kinda useless to me :)
These files are actually cursed and I want all drives that contain their data destroyed with acid. But I have a slight feeling other voting software isn't really any better, even though in theory it should be relatively simple software in the grand scheme of things.
Generally most GPL'd software isn't sold (terms and conditions may apply).
