Sorry, what are you talking about?

https://www.apple.com/shop/product/mxcj3ll/a/magic-keyboard-...

I see on that Apple keyboard:

• two control keys

• two option keys

• two command keys

• delete (aka backspace)

• forward delete (aka delete)

• home

• end

• page up

• page down



Even that Nintendo Switch 2 Game-Key Card implementation still works better for parent’s game reselling use case (for a limited time) than outright removing the physical media option as Sony is doing.

From the link you posted:

“Game-key cards are different from regular game cards, because they don’t contain the full game data. Instead, the game-key card is your "key" to downloading the full game to your system via the internet.

After it’s downloaded, you can play the game by inserting the game-key card into your system and starting it up like a standard physical game card. An internet connection is only required when you launch the game for the first time. After this, the game can be started even without an internet connection. However, like regular physical software, the game-key card must be inserted into the system in order to play the game. A Nintendo Account is not required to download the game data.”

So lending and reselling game-key cards is still possible in the same way as physical media… at least until Nintendo’s servers stop serving the game, heh.


Are the download codes reusable then?


Game keys and download codes are two separate concepts. You can think of a game key as a transferable license. Download code is a one time license attachment to your account and requires a Nintendo account (I belive)



thanks for the context! Any of which was completely absent from the article or the comments when I posted originally.



Ah yes! It is human at the center. Now things are starting to make sense.


I don't see any actual context, just vacuous slop.


New Smart Folder with a cogwheel icon is in the File menu of Notes.app, while New Smart Folder with a folder+cogwheel icon is in the File menu of Finder.app.


Thanks! I don't use the notes app, cog is not the best icon for that but I suppose it's differentiated from the file system version, if I read them both the same I might be confused, but not sure why they selected cog!!!


HDMI in 1997–2003?


Sorry, VGA. And yes the G3 laptop was used to create my first software based solution since it could handle Unix / Linux coding.

By the way the person that down voted my comment highlights the rejection of reality that others lived through.


As an example, Opera was payware for the first ten years of its existence. I remember trying out a demo of it included on a CD decades ago!


You're absolutely right ! I had forgotten that.
