You don't need to be always-online. You just need to be online when you want to download a game. Same as buying a game from Steam.
(Yes, this applies to Game Pass games too, not just ones you buy.)
And if you hate Microsoft that much, they're still selling the Xbox S and X, which come with blu-ray drives. You can buy your games at gamestop and never connect it to the internet.
What a meaningless comment. Did you know that the imperial measurement system is superior to the metric one, because a mile is longer than a kilometer?
These machines aren't cheap, either. A lot of robots for scientists start at tens of thousands of dollars. Shelling out $20k for a machine to do your pipetting for you only covers a small fraction of the duties of your typical grad student (who also costs $20k), too.
This only helps labs that are already well-funded - the opposite of democratizing access.
Yeah, I sure do love my cash to be more volatile in value than any stock I own. Not to mention, it's great how I can't spend it in any of the places I visit on a daily basis.

A lot of them are purchases, at least from Amazon's point of view.
I followed all your steps, but I got too distracted by playing the videogame to indulge your foot fetish.
You can download a game and then disconnect it from the internet. They can't revoke it without talking to your xbox.
I don't understand how Slashdot is full of people who can't understand basic technology.

You can still buy games.
Nope.
Everyone knows you masturbate. I mean come on, just look at you.
Out of all the drugs out there, stay away from heroin.

Yes of course, because there will be a gesture for "download malware please."
Like, you're trying to make a joke, right?
The tens of billions that Pharma is spending annually on biology R&D should convince you otherwise.

Bugs are unfixable, and code review doesn't exist.
Your preferences are not universal.
Just like the DPRK is Democratic?
I dunno, but hopefully drinking an entire barrel of whiskey is enough to fix it for good.
How did this useless assortment of white-boy talking points get modded up?
"Um where's MY month" is old and tired in highschool.
Private schools do better because the rich parents pay to send their kids there, and poverty makes it harder to learn things.
If public schools didn't rely on local property taxes for funding, you'd see them do a lot better.
To be fair, crossplay also means "cosplaying as a character who's a different gender than you."
Really, who isn't?
Only if you fire it for an hour.
3. They're using proprietary code from a third-party that they're not allowed to disclose.
Any data to be transferred to that user's computer on the network would perhaps go through several Raspberry Pi computers running Linux
You are so incredibly out of your depth you don't even know it.
Did some masculine chick shit in your cornflakes today?
