I feel like the post is more about the moment of, not the days after. Making several days worth of food doesn't delay the need to do dishes once you're done eating tonight's dinner.

This is probably not what you're looking for, but I found registering a cheap domain name and using a dynamic DNS script that checks every hour or so against your public IP to be a good way to mitigate issues. It also depends on your ISP. Mine typically only renews upon a reboot of the modem or a new PPPoE authentication.
Others have also suggested Tailscale, and I think that's also a worthwhile option. It's a pretty easy thing to set and forget, working like any oher VPN client. This is the least complex option to navigate, and if Plex was the only service you were forwarding then it's likely the best option.
Ultimately this change, while frustrating, probably doesn't change the initial value for those who fit these two categories:
- Needs Windows
- Cares about their privacy
These people were already going to go out of their way to use the OOBE bypass. They still will. This is no more effort thanbit already was.
Microsoft crossed the line already by disallowing offline account creation through their default setup process.
It's a lot of things. It's a measure of vulnerability, and of the social expectations and needs of men or women. It's not exclusive to men, though I think the culture that surrounds it is certainly more outwardly destructive.
At its core, it's a feeling of inadequacy, and that inadequacy is a vulnerability exploited by others who either feel similarly as a way to elevate themselves or just because they're cruel enough to use it to benefit themselves. It can begin with poverty, with bad experiences, with neglect or abuse. It can begin in ignorance, or by being mislead. I think it's also a lack of self awareness, a lack of self care, and often a lack of time or energy for either.
In the end, there's not enough of the world that says it's okay to fail and it's okay to be vulnerable and that you can spend that time on yourself. People will always feel cheated, and there will always be experiences that leave you feeling alienated or hurt. What pains me is that too often it's easier to find anger and resentment in those moments than it is to find the support you need to build yourself back up and feel okay again.
Better than that, the lack of reliance on spinning disks means that asset duplication and data read order is less of a requirement to reduce load times. It can still be argued that there's just too many polygons, since simply scaling things back would be plenty effective in reducing storage usage and load times.
Important note is the demo was never available for download through steam, only via the website of the listed developer. Valve/Steam have only removed the store page listing.
TechCrunch's writer here just appears to be lazy as hell. Here's a better article: https://www.thegamer.com/steam-gets-second-game-in-as-many-months-that-adds-malware-to-your-pc/
Honestly the Reddit thread is the best of the bunch though if you want more details
Damn, no wonder the kids ain't alright.
