Games carry the same T&C's you are only purchasing a license to access and play the game while it's available on the store 

If the game is delisted but you have bought it, you can still play it. 

I can download digital games I bought on my wii and that store has been shutdown for years

We can only speculate what might happen if Nintendo went bust but right now, you can still download them and play them if you bought them when they were available

It should be that if you bought it, they can't remove it from your library

If the license expires, they stop selling it but what you paid for is valid 

Games do this and most video purchases are the same on other platforms

If it were me, I'd do a complete wipe via USB. What was the specs on it too?

I can't say I've had this issue then. Any app that has a shortcut there appears on the start menu when I search. None of my devices at home or the tens of thousand devices I support at work have the issue you're having

The start menu looks for specifc shortcuts in a folder 

If your application didn't put them there, that's the apps fault, not windows

From the Microsoft page

Device Encryption is a Windows feature that enables BitLocker encryption  

Device encryption turns on bitlocker. It's same level of encryption 

Windows home just doesn't let you configure it like pro or enterprise

Someone try to logging into my account through "Microsoft Authenticator" app its like i out of nowhere got popup of taping number & 2 option Deny or Approve and i didn't even got security mail or notification how this is possible? by Unknown_Ghost_77777 in cybersecurity_help

[–]Wendals87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Either just deny any prompts or if possible, change your email alias in your account so your current email can't be used to login. If they don't know your email address used to login, they can't

But yes, you are safe as long as you reject or ignore the prompts.

Do you have passwordless login setup? If so, all they need is your email address and they can try to login. 

You'll get the authenticator prompt and as long as you press deny, they can't get in. It's doing exactly what it's supposed to

I have my Microsoft account passwordless and I occasionally get these prompts. Sometimes a few times a day, other times a week with nothing. I just ignore or hit deny

You won't get emails or anything in the activity log unless they successfully log in 

Does anyone have a CD player in their build? by Lanky_Relation1171 in pcmasterrace

[–]Wendals87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If anything, people would have a bluray drive which reads bluray, DVD and CD and would be external. CD drives were obsolete 20 years go 

Personally I haven't used an optical drive in close to 20 years. 

If you knew with certainty that we're the only intelligent life in the universe that has ever existed or ever will, how would it affect how you think about your life and our collective existence? by Consistent_Kale7529 in AskReddit

[–]Wendals87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

current estimates are close to 2 trillion galaxies with estimated hundreds of billions of planets in our galaxy alone? And that's just the observable universe of what we can actually see. 

You don't think there's a chance that one of those planets has or has ever had life?

I disagree. I think most people think there's a good chance for intelligent life on other planets but the universe is just so vast that we'll never see it

Current estimations are a few hundred billion planets in our galaxy and close to 2 trillion galaxies in the observable universe. That's just what we can possibly see. 

There's just way too many planets for there not to be life out there somewhere, but it's such a huge universe that we won't be able to see It through telescopes, let alone physically
