Full disclosure: Haven’t read the article yet.

Working in corporate IT, this most likely is targeted toward enterprise customers who either take a long time to roll out OS upgrades or can’t due to technical limitations within their environment. In those cases, paying the cost of extended support is more palatable to troubleshooting or rushing mass OS upgrades. This is a fairly common practice with enterprise software vendors.

Edit: Okay, just skimmed it. Looks like this is actually a new program for non-enterprise consumers, which is interesting. First I’ve heard of that.

I am just now starting through Fallout 4. I’ve had it in my library for a while but never got around to it.

I’m not sure that this is a “game” idea so much, but I’ve had this idea I haven’t been able to wrap my head around the implementation of.

Think a digital audio workstation such as Ableton Live or Logic, but gamified. Complete various musical objectives to pass levels, have a creative mode for just making music and maybe even a multiplayer mode for collaborative or competitive music making.

I’m lucky in that my employer went the opposite direction. Downsizing our local office and just letting us all be 100% remote. We’re a geographically distributed group so it doesn’t make sense to enforce office requirements.

Wait. I can automate my meetings too? I dig it.

This is why I personally am looking forward to fully self-driving cars. We’re a long way off, but when self-driving cars can completely replace the human element, I think the world will be a much safer place.

I could at the very least see it being relaxing, which would help reduce stress which in theory could help. Do you just run a bath and get in, or do you put any special bath stuff in it? I’m more of a shower person, myself, so as silly as this sounds I don’t know how to prepare the “optimal” bath lol.

Obviously this isn’t digital piracy, it’s identity theft. Hence the reason Hollywood is perfectly fine with it. 😛
