Every generation has seen the various console makers hyping some magic technical aspect of their machines. We had Blast Processing, Mode 7, polygons, MORE polygons, the Emotion Engine, RAMBUS, hyper futuristic Cell technology, and none of i

Most Universities and companies really don’t care, it seems. Zoom is one of the many shady Chinese companies (yes I am aware of Zoom’s recent change in status here) who we just do business with no matter HOW harmful it could potentially b

I have simply stopped buying "apps" even though I am still an iOS user. Quite a few of my purchases have just disappeared over time. I moved to a newer device and they couldn't be installed. I'm not happy with Apple and

Apple is "preparing to announce" the switch, but haven't we heard these rumors for, well, years now? How much more reliable are these rumors now compared to a couple years ago? I'm a little surprised to see Bloomberg bas

I've been using a Pi 4 4GB as a desktop for a couple months now. Considering that my other main computer is an ancient Thinkpad, I don't feel hampered by the speed. I used a Pi 3B for a desktop replacement for a while and while it

I think a big issue is that Paypal and Venmo don't want to come under scrutiny for aiding domestic terrorists.

It’s called sliding, the idea is to fill a comments section up with crap and make it unusable. It’s a strategy employed by trolls, corporate reputation managers, political groups, and even apparently US government agencies.

It varies by district but my wife is a teacher (now) and she has worked in several schools where the special education budget met or exceeded the non-special, while serving only 3-5% of the school's enrolled children.

As the amount of administration support staff and special needs paraprofessionals skyrocketed, the resources allocated to regular students and teachers have dwindled. People feel good about having students with special needs included in reg

This is great, everybody hates Youtube's ads. They are incredibly loud and annoying.

I used BeOS for a couple years in the 1990s as my exclusive OS. It had all the software I needed at the time. I especially liked the feature where you could clone your whole working system to another drive or partition, live. That actually

Is Rust ever going to go for standardization? Seems like the language has been in a state of flux with heavy changes all the time. When's it going to settle down a bit?

Only AFTER they helped China develop the technology to racially ID their Muslims. And IBM isn't alone, many companies have helped China to efficiently fill its death camps.

I tried to surf on over to SeatGeek's site to see what they do or sell or whatever but they won't even let you connect if you're using Tor Browser. Ah well, never heard of them before anyway, I'm sure I won't be mis

Sure it can, you’ll just end up demoralizing yourself. Expect companies NOT to troubleshoot their policies, and then when one occasionally does you’ll be pleasantly surprised. If you expect them to police themselves, most of the time you wi
