They would probably have issues with publishers if you actually owned the titles.
It’d probably make them very heavily liable if for some reason Steam shut down, they had to make something unavailable for some reason, whatever.

They’re a public company, they’re required by law to share financial info.
Do you perhaps have better data though?
Farmers would disagree
Renting doesn’t just mean that you can’t afford to buy. It’s got other advantages, like not having to deal with repairs, upkeep, being able to move pretty much on a whim… Guess that’s worth it to some ppl
What about a CDN for JS libraries?
What about YouTube embeds?
What about images from Imgur?
Why should all of this be handled by me, on my domain?
So how is this related?
AirVPN
He might’ve borrowed them from a library.
OpenAI could’ve trained on borrowed ebooks as well
Won’t block YouTube ads.
lmao you’re so wrong on ads being more profitable than premium, especially on a per-user basis
According to this you can expect to make around $18/1000 views. That’s with 55% going to the creator and 45% to Google. Which means that Google makes around $14.5 per 1000 views.
Coincidentally, that’s also rougly the price of YouTube Premium. Are you telling me that you watch a thousand videos per month?
They might be allowing them to run the boxes for free, but the ISPs are saving money on bandwidth, too.
Get enough users for the ISP to care and they’ll work with you. Otherwise, you probably don’t have all that many users to begin with, so the overhead that maintaining and distributing these boxes would create wouldn’t be worth it anyway.
Won’t work, can’t work.
There are companies which have insane revenues but tiny profits - let’s say manufacturing, where you need to pay a shitton for materials and workers, just to get a bit in return.
There are also companies where the main source of income is selling people’s time, say a consulting firm like McKinsey. Their income/revenue ratio is gonna be totally different from the first example.
I’m sure there are good ways to do it but this ain’t one of them.
Hell yeah
That’s literally it though
Wouldn’t fit very well into something like a smartphone though
The operational overhead is often too time-intensive, among other issues.
You can either send a lad with a truck down the highway or you can send one to a train station somewhere, have him unload everything, wait for the train to leave, the train to get there (you’ll be lucky if it’s going straight where you need it to), have someone go to the destination station, unload it into another truck and finally deliver it.
It’s might only be worth it for veery long trips, and the start and finish have got to be in good locations (harbors f.e.).
It makes sense to use trains, but as soon as you look into it, it becomes almost undoable.
They do, unfortunately
I had three cards from Kingston and SanDisk fail on me quite regularly while using the Pi.
M.2 / external storage is definitely the way to go
The water does get back into the ocean sooner or later, at least most of the time, see - rivers
Quick correction, the Pi5 is the new one
