Edit: just checked. I can completely bypass all my locked down Google Pixel settings to factory reset my phone pretty easily if I press the right keys in the right order. It would be pretty easy to steal and resell my phone.

Mind to share what "Keys in the right order" are? I mean a link, of course, because in my experience you just can't do that with a locked bootloader.

Close to your non standard book measurements. I really appreciate the usefulness of ISO 216, witch is actually a standard.

They look promising, yes.

Unemployment levels are at the lowest since 2008.

A5 is actually 21x14,8cm so your books seem pretty close to that aspect ratio.

Let’s check. I grabbed four random German books from my bookshelf. If you’re right, the pages should either be roughly 30cm×21cm (A4) or 15cm×10.5cm (A5).

Book 1: 18cm × 11.5; book 2: 19cm×12.5cm; book 3: 20.5cm × 12.5cm; book 4: 24cm × 17cm. None of those conform to the standard.

A5 is not 15x10,5

If A4 is 291x210 then OBVIOUSLY the next one starts with 210: 210x148.

"Cheaper is cheaper" kind of overlooks the core issue

You said this:

I'd love to buy my games cheaper lol.

I don't know why you need them to be cheaper before the discount, but okay, I don't care.

I would genuinely love if you could point me to an example where the non-discounted price of a game is lower outside of Steam than it is on Steam — I'd love to buy my games cheaper lol.

Fanatical and humble bundle (the good old days) are good examples. I don't know what you say "non-discounted", cheaper is cheaper no matter what.

This part confuses me. Are you trying to clarify to me that Steam isn't taking a 30% cut of what gets sold on, say, Epic Games Store?

Steam doesn't get a cut from keys sold in perfectly legal thirth party stores like fanatical, humble or gmg. Epic does not sell steam keys so obviously no.

I'm not sure about that statement. In my experience, people in Spain does not use butter at all I their homes.

It's an European law, thankfully.

You can find games sold cheaper than in Steam in many places. You can even buy games outside of Steam and they see 0 revenue from it.

Find me a game that has been de listed from Steam because it was sold cheaper elsewhere. You can't, so don't bother.

Your link also has no real life effect.
