Should have been done sooner, I take issue with the 3 who dissented and how long it took there get there. The constitution is clear on this matter. Prices are insane already, we don't need fake emergencies to drive up prices even more.
I'm impressed with Claude Sonnet in general. It's been doing better than Gemini 3 at following instructions. Gemini 2.5 Pro March 2025 was the best model I ever used and I feel Claude is reaching that level even surpassing it.
I subscribed to Claude because of that. I hope 4.6 is even better.
Definitely happy they are figuring out the skin tone stuff for search. Being able to search for skin conditions and hone in on skin tone efficiently has been a pet peeve of mine. Psoriasis, for instance, looks different on different skin tones.
I did not mistake anything. I simply referred to an event that occurred and people were angry about four years ago. It is more than acceptable to comment on a specific portion of an article. I do not need to be angry, negative or show outrage about what they are doing today. I do not use the app and have no plans to.
I do believe that If I found myself in this situation I would be finding alternatives and paying for a better provider than to be angry. Legal methods are used only in the case of a substantial dispute as it is a time suck.
Reframing when my one comment referred to free lifetime users due to the first few lines in the article.
> Four years after Cerberus made headlines when it invalidated free lifetime licenses, the device security app is back in the spotlight for the same questionable business practices.
I get it that you want to reframe my comment so you have something to bash at, but the fact is I referred to a portion of the article. Not only did I say I value my time, I made no value judgement on your beliefs or how you spend your time. If something is not worth my time (harm/disproportionate burden), then I will not pursue it and will look for alternatives. What is so unreasonable about that? That I don't want to be negative as you said here? Not interested.
Funny you mention that given shops have to deal with it and not every case is worth pursuing for time benefit. Amazon Go stores are an example of stores that will take the hit if it is not worth it.
Anyway, like I said I value my time and lots of others do too. I never made a value judgement on your beliefs or time.
I did not justify anything. Can you point out to me where I justified these actions?
I expressed my preference to pay if I were in the same situation as it is not worth my time. If it is something that causes me harm and/or disproportionate burden then it is worth going to court.
If a business took away a free service (referring to the free lifetime users) that they gave me a license for and said pay nominal amount. Go to court and spend tons of time and money litigating or just pay the money? Think I'll pay the money as I value my time. It is your choice. If there are other services to switch to then this is the time to re-evaluate choice.
IANAL, but what would you go to court for? Deceptive practice? This is an app, nothing important that caused me undue harm. Just find alternatives.
> If the company goes bankrupt so be it, no one forced them to give out lifetime licenses.
Seriously, you would rather an app you found useful to go bankrupt and forced to find alternatives than to pay to support it and not find alternatives? Sheesh.
Sure they could've communicated better/found better ways to raise money. Someone needs to host the servers and if they aren't making enough to support it then you (the consumer) lose the app's services. What is lifetime license worth then?
They've probably spend enough of their own money supporting it already that it came to this (Wish businesses were more transparent about it). Startups and small companies are hard things to support with hard (sometimes unsavory) decisions to make.
