  HGST was created after Hitachi bought IBM’s hard drive business. It was then later bought by Western Digital.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Valve is being sued because they are forcing others to follow policies that further entrenches Steam as the largest store.

  Since Epic bought the game developer, it only applies to themselves. It is much harder to sue someone over a decision that only applies to something they own. How can a company be sued for not selling their product at a store? Should Valve be sued for not selling their own games on Epic or GOG?

  Is Epic’s decision to only sell their games on their store annoying for users? Yes. But unfortunately, there is nothing illegal about. There would be a better chance of a lawsuit of Epic paying other game developers for exclusivity, but that would still not be easy as game exclusivity is still a significant factor on game consoles as well. Albeit much less than in the past.

  I self-host Miniflux. The web client is very good on both desktop and mobile, but I prefer using it with the lire app on iOS.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Switch 2: Is it worth buying?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But the Switch was a unique form-factor at the time that did not have direct competition for most of its life. Nintendo essentially created the hybrid handheld console segment. As previously mentioned, there is much more competition this time around, including the much cheaper original Switch.

  At least they didn’t call it Fox+.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is a passkey, in practice? Is it a file? A token? Can I keep it in an USB drive? How can I save it in case of device loss?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Can I store a passkey in a platform agnostic way?

  Yes, if you use a platform agnostic password manager that supports passkeys such as Bitwarden.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨the number of spam calls i've received since i started using this sim card⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Whoever had the number before you likely gave it out to any service that asked.

  Since you only use it for data, I recommend contacting your provider and asking for a different number.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox Game Pass made $230 million revenue in one month, most users pay for full subscriptions⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago⁩:

  Considering Microsoft is supposedly releasing a new revision of the Xbox Series X and S next year without disc drives, I wouldn’t get your hopes up. Given the direction the industry is moving, I wouldn’t be surprised if the PS6 and whatever Microsoft calls the next Xbox are all digital only.
