Seizures shouldn't be a thing at all unless a conviction has been nailed down, and even then, proof must be made for every cent seized having been made through illicit means. No proof? No forfeiture. I understand why it was implemented

I have no idea why they don't sort this out. Perhaps they feel like it is an issue. Windows 11 has UI elements from every OS back to Windows 3.1. I guess they like the absurdity of stacking various settings behind 2-3 control panels, s

Hydrogen for vehicles is very nearly fully developed. Honda says their upcoming generation is no more expensive to manufacture than an ICE vehicle. The problem isn't with hydrogen vehicles, it is with the production of hydrogen itself.

A friend bought a house not that long ago, and the value is up almost 4x. It is a basic home, too. The number of people moving here is crazy. It used to be a cozy town, but now it is LA 2.0.

That's essentially it. They outsource the loss of delivering packages and make the company pay for it on top of it. I remember when this program came out and it was an exceedingly bad deal on the surface. I was surprised to see anyone

Intel won't be able to do an M1 style SOC any time soon. Not with any architecture. Also, why would this lower the barrier to entry? Intel loves their margins. This will never change. This effort is all about Intel fiddling with their

Employee tracking isn't anything new or all that surprising. Do everything as if it is going to be made public at some point. EMPLOYERS ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS. If they buy you internet, they are tracking it. If they provide you with a co

There was a nasty flu going around that winter. I got it in October/November and it very nearly hospitalized me. I was down for two solid weeks. It was too early for C19, but it was brutal nonetheless.

2 weeks is exactly how long it took to get an item, and they lost 2 other orders and had appalling customer service. I had to resort to a chargeback in order to get my money back. They couldn't find or bother to find the order in their

You aren't going to get a decent, fast prime for a few hundred dollars, much less an excellent one. Apple's low light performance in their new phones is excellent, and they are making huge strides in every area with every generati

That depends on the kit lens of then and the kit lens of now. There was a lot of variability then, and the same holds true today. I bought a body only Canon M50 as a glovebox camera, and read the reviews of their 15-45 EF-M kit lens and tho

I can't hear a single engine, but I can hear the hum of tires a long way away. Sure, I can sometimes hear a loud exhaust but those come and go in seconds. Tire noise is a 24x7 sound until winter (snow attenuates sound really well). Sou

Exactly this. Hiding a UI behind a UI behind a UI is nothing but painful and slow. I downloaded the app and was met with two subscription options and a purchase option. You cannot try the app free without choosing one of two subscription op

Rufus has issues with some early UEFI implementations and may not work at all. I haven't had a problem with current hardware, however.

The Windows 10 downloader makes a bootable USB as an option. Certainly not useful for early versions of Windows, but works fine for W10.

The monetization in WoW is pretty invisible. Many games have a core of players who love playing no matter what and don't mind buying whatever new thing pops up on the store. Everquest 2 is such a game. It is basically dead in terms of

In terms of WoW, I'm sure a lot of it is focusing on the top raiding guilds and leaving the casual player with few rewarding activities. Further, one of their most cherished metrics is how much time people spend doing a certain activit

20 years ago, the local pay for that type of work was $17.50 including benefits. This was in a not very high COL living area relative to Silicon Valley or the like. I look at the pay over there every few years and it has always gone down, w

Decent IPC increase, but really good liquid cooling is required in order to get it. Prebuilts like Dell will likely use tiny coolers that will limit the performance of these parts. Apple's M1 illustrates how far behind Intel is in ever
