@DeltaWye It’s one part awesome to see how they make this stuff by hand, and many parts horrifying to see so many osha violations and questionable quality control.
I would hope it’s not an actual LG product, but I wouldn’t put it past a major (or even minor) corporation to do this
Lol, CNN thought it could go hard right and avoid the wrath of Trump, making the same mistake people always do with fascists and tyrants.

As the #heatwave warnings are spreading across Europe, may be the "how does furries cope with wearing full body costumes even when it is warm?" question again deserve some attention.
We do not have "superpowers", we have a "secret", a while back, a furry started to make cooling vests to wear under the suits.
The cooling elements used keep a pretty constant, "cool" temperature for hours, warm enough that you will not hurt yourself by having the element on your body for a long time. The warmest element keeps is 21c, and while that does not sound like cooling a lot, 21c is a LOT cooler than 40c.
These things prevent us from over heating while in suit, something that can be quite dangerous. You do not need to be a furry to buy them though.
The vests cost a lot, but even "spare inserts" for cooling collars helps a LOT, but if you go for a "smaller" solution, 15c elements might be better.

Save future videogames from planned obsolescence!
There is an initiative asking the EU to regulate or at least clarify video games being made inaccessible remotely by publishers.
The initiative is on an official channel provided by the EU itself, if it reaches one million signatures the European Commission will have to look into the matter and provide a response, there is still a month until 31 July.
The government should update consumer law to prohibit publishers from disabling video games (and related game assets / features) they have already sold without recourse for customers to retain or repair them. We seek this as a statutory consumer right.
@Beckydog @MOULE There's a petition in the UK too!
Here's the link:
https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/702074/
If you need more information you can check the website for the initiative ( https://www.stopkillinggames.com/ ) or write me back, I'm not direclty affiliated with the campaign but I'm trying to help reaching the goal :)

@xsevy the problem is that many games with physical copy require checking a server. If the publisher shuts down the server without patching the game in other ways, you're physical copy is useless.
"The Crew" servers shutdown by Ubisoft is the case from which the campaign started, it had both physical and digital distribution. It currently can't be played in any way or platform.

@xsevy I personally I own a bunch of games in DVD from the "Game from Windows Live" era (2007-2015 circa, the more notable I own are GTA IV, BioShock and an Assassins Creed) which can't even be installed on PC because the server are offline and they get stuck verifying the code.
The only way I have to play my DVDs of those games is sailing the seas or buying them again on a online store (if they're still sold somewhere in their original version)

Why is this only Games-Specific? This happens to a lot of current software. Even the ones, thats NOT "in the cloud" is checking its valid license over the internet nowadays and so prone to be broken when the vendor decides or goes bankrupt ...
@jwalzer
The initiative is focused on videogames because there are legal precedents that explicity separate videogames from other software (why? Unfortunately I can't wrap my head around it). That could mean that if the initiative was about all software, videogames could be excluded again.
Another reason was that keeping the initiative focused on videogames would help making easier to spread the word with the help of gamers and gaming communities. (the campaign has no founds)
Thread 1/3
Personally (having to deal with companies like Adobe and Autodesk for my daily job) I really hope that a regulation on videogames could be extended to other software.
But that's my view. Please note I'm not among the representatives in Bruxelles for the initiative, I'm just volunteering to try to achieve the signature goal. So I speak for myself having just partial knowledge about the start of the campaign and influence on the campaign.

We have to keep in mind that in case we reach 1M signatures the EU commision will have to research the subject and offer a response.
If they think a regulation should involve all software they can do it. The ECI is supposed to raise an issue that's dear to the citizens to the EU commission, for the better or the worse how to respond will be up to them.
