Most women dry themselves with toilet paper, even if they don't use a bidet. Maybe it's just the brand you use?

It's better to wait than to get scammed.

No, which is why they are asking you to take it.

If that's the case, then the point of all of that is definitely to get people onto the official app and not to save money on "inefficient" API calls.

Either way, I won't be going back. I am tired of being the product.

By "take" they clearly mean to move it to a new location, but do not stand on the stage at any point during the process of moving it.

I think the people that would seek out a third party app are mostly the kind of people that would do the extra work of copying and pasting an API key. It will definitely be a smaller userbase than before though.

Couldn't they just have the app ask for the user's API key? I use a weather app that does that with OpenWeatherMap.

It's the same service wearing a different costume. They sometimes install multiple copies of themselves, for example, the Fallout games will install a copy of the game for each language they support with no option to only install the language you want. Attempting to install mods in most games will cause it to reinstall the entire game, preventing the use of mods. Sometimes when you uninstall them, it doesn't actually delete the files so it continues to use space on your drives until you reformat or use third party programs to remove them.

In my opinion, it's an absolutely terrible way to install games, even if the value is good.

I don't like gamepass because it requires me to install games through the Microsoft store. I'd rather buy them from anywhere else or pirate them.
