What is meant by Ransomware as a Service, as opposed to regular old Ransomware?

I came here to say this. If I have only a 7% chance of recovering my data after paying, I’m better off not paying.

So they only share when you click on an ad. I use an adblocker anyway, so effectively they’re not sharing anything. Or do I misunderstand?

“It is now more yellow because of fhe curry smell”. Curry may stain plastic yellow, but curry smell does no such thing. I can’t think of a single non-racist/xenophobic context in which this quote is appropriate.

Color me underwhelmed.

Nintendo is going to have to bring it in a big way to win me back after all the shit they’ve been pulling and it looks like they decided to do the exact opposite of that. At least it has a proper kickstand. I have no clue how they thought that flimsy plastic membrane from the first Switch was a good idea.

You’re asking for a blanket statement from me but giving specific examples.

Regarding what you said before the quote block, yes. My generic objection to EULAs would be lifted in this case.

Regarding the obviously objectionable example clauses in the block and after it, I am opposed to those but they are a reason to reject the particular EULAs which contain them, just like any contract which contains similar dispositions (imagine having to agree never to eat at Burger King when you buy a Big Mac).

My previous comment was about things that are generally wrong with the practice of EULAs because they have become a de facto standard, and was not meant to imply that those are the only things that can possibly be wrong with any EULA ever.

EULAs should be completely non-enforceable in a sane world. They are enormous, full of frivolous dispositions just to bloat them and discourage actual reading (like the infamous prohibition against using iTunes to help you build nuclear weapons) and rarely are they ever available before you’ve already purchased the software. Instead, they’re presented to you only as part of a setup program where the font is minuscule, Ctrl+F doesn’t work and which often doesn’t allow copying+pasting the EULA to a non-retarded text window somewhere else which actually allows you to read it comfortably, save it or even print it out. EULAs are a perfect example of contracting in bad faith and if any Law student anywhere ever created a EULA-like document as part of a Civil Law assignment, they would get a failing grade automatically because no professor in their right mind is going to read more than two paragraphs into that obviously malicious bullshit with 50 other papers to grade.
