Back in my day, if you uncovered some priceless historical artifact, the least the newspaper could do is print your friggin' name in the article. Did some nearby archaeology professor already swindle the kid out of the coin and call di

Not hard? I mean you need a dedicated bottle brush, but the bottle itself is the only thing I recall having to clean. The DrinkMate advertises itself as being able to carbonate other things (juice, flat soda, etc.), but I never carbonate an

To be clear, it made about 1.75L of syrup , not cola. I kept the cola syrup jug in a fridge for like a year, and when I wanted a glass of "cola" I'd add about an oz of the syrup concentrate to a glass of carbonated water (wh

Last time I tried this...it was alot easier to just buy the concentrate from Cube-Cola rather than trying to source all of the essential oils separately and shear them together. https://cube-cola.org/ I think you'd end

Yes...but let's also be realistic. Very few people are still using this Kindle as their daily driver . They've already upgraded to a PaperWhite or something better. But there's a very simple reason that Amazon is cutting sup

Man, Amazon is really going above-and-beyond to cripple the last bastion of Kindle devices that carry a DRM scheme we can crack.

If "forking without approval" is grounds for some kind of termination, then the project should probably not be considered truly "open source".

Somewhat annoyingly, the actual homebrew z64 seems to crash both of the N64 cores that RetroArch supports. :(

How exactly is this going to stop scammers from simply modifying their scam runbook to say "Turn this thing on, and get back to me in 24 hours.", and then continue on from the next step? We know from Nigerian email scams that thes

Well Trump's track record of "No Plan-B" has historically worked out for him pretty well so far. He had ample reason to think the SCOTUS--which has been giving him a green light to act like a god-king up to this point--would

It's a shame to see all the pearl-clutching about the use of AI. I've been playing ROMs and fantrans since the early aughts, and we were content back then when some of our desired games just got menu translations . I've watc

What are you talking about? The Dreamcast didn't even have adequate copy protection. I switched my entire collection to backups at some point to preserve the integrity of the original discs.

Yeah, the Islamophobia in Ilium/Olympos made me really tempted to put the books down several times. It's such a strange about-face from when he wrote the character Kassad in the Hyperion Cantos. Like Frank Miller, it seems like 9&

It is annoying. LLMs are not AI, and on-device translations are one of the few genuinely useful features Firefox has shipped in the past few years.
