It's scoped to video games and associated entertainment and services so it shouldn't apply to Twitter, if that's what this post is getting at.

XL is pretty well understood to mean extra large, no?

It's a pretty stylish and parsimonious file extension even if long file extensions are well-supported (and they are), but I think *.jpegxl should also be recognized. Have a feeling it will be de facto recognized eventually, if the form

And this is one of the least charitable readings of a comment I have seen before.

It wasn't much different when they were using standard DIMMs, to my recollection.

I don't disagree* but it's mostly irrelevant for computers that don't travel much, which is desktops and honestly a lot of laptops, too. *Caveat, I can't agree or disagree with the claim that most PCs are discarded faste

My hunch on that is it might not need to be selected for, cells having largely the same features. Most animals don't live as long, so they have less time to develop cancers. (Plants and fungi of course get cancers as well but the cells

Indeed, they do it better. Apple drops support for old hardware comparatively quickly and incentivizing new purchases, while Windows has longer support lifecycles with usually (not always, before you get on me about TPMs) good support for o

Smoking is never good for you, and exercising virtually always is. By contrast, "stacking the deck" on the specific issue of finances may or may not be helpful for a particular relationship and should be assessed case by case. So,

Have laptops had a separate pc speaker in recent memory?

This is a tangent but, I cannot for the life of me get Skylines to run without the cursor offset by approximately the height of the notch, even on an external display. Have you not had this problem?

Evidence of what? I can't see how it would prevent fraud, the occupant can damage the "seal" just as well, and a burglary without damage is still a burglary and lock-picking is a thing so it doesn't have much to say abou

People learn new things all the time, but an octopus that lives in trees would probably be pretty famous.

I get just a little annoyed, a reasonable amount, when someone leans into a lie for a long time, gives details, won't give it up, and even if I started out skeptical, I eventually start to believe them, only for them to pull the rug ou

Inkjets had made dot matrix printers obsolete in the home earlier in the decade, whether or not you still happened to be using one.

It's sugar. They so far haven't been in the business of forcing food to be healthier, to my knowledge, and corn syrup isn't poison.

Aspartame and most sweeteners fall apart at high temperatures, limiting their usefulness for a lot of foodstuffs, like cookies. Which is a shame in my opinion.

I have a feeling those with an existing opinion on sweeteners will choose to trust whichever agency agrees with them.

For context, tonka is valued for its coumarin content and coumarin is maligned for its association with the active ingredient in rat poison and some medications, but is a different molecule. Coumarin is found chiefly in perfumes (functional

The Titan had multiple failsafes to drop ballast and return to the surface under its own buoyancy. One such failsafe was time-delayed by material corrosion in seawater so it would eventually ascend without intervention. The cabin electronic

I would tend to agree. It's borderline offensive to me that some snap back with "how stupid" because their threshold for acceptable risk is different and pushing up against it doesn't thrill them. But I nevertheless have

The perspective for guests from vantage points where they are allowed to be is different from perspectives where they are not. There is just one shared perspective from any particular place but only some of them provide the illusion.

I was at Magic Mountain recently and got very annoyed that there was nowhere and nothing that sold just beverages. Every option was a tens of minutes wait behind people ordering food. I did eventually find a cart selling, also inexplicably,

Not sure why you're bringing this up. Such a scheme would be out of character for California. Maybe income-adjusted rebates for EVs (which would be partially accomplished by this regulation anyway) but it's hard to see them incent

Untrue, clear-cut cases with plain facts like a patent being expired are dismissed with prejudice straight off the bat. Judges can be unreasonable but not to that degree, even in shitty districts. I can't find a single example of this

Patents for essential printer technologies should be well expired by now, patent terms not to exceed 20 years by international convention, if I'm not mistaken. You can't benefit from the latest but the inkjets and lasers of 20 yea

There are examples of course of the first superceding laws (constitution do be like that don't it), e.g. laws forbidding nudity. Not sure how far it can be taken but I hope not as far as that, I agree.

All true but it does seem the emotion of it has softened a lot since then. In general, people seem more open to choosing the best tool for the job and keeping a mix of devices if need be. It helps that interoperability and common software (
