Exactly this. Nintento et al. are unwaveringly adversarial in their insistence around locking down games and aggressively pursuing archivists (who they claim are pirates), even after said games are no longer available for sale. It is our mo

Which has a similar effect to the cards not being available. If you're renting an apartment and riding a bus to work, what exactly are you going to put up as collateral? Organs?

I find being on camera extremely distracting, as I am putting so much mental energy into my camera presence that it detracts from the subject at hand, so I leave mine off with few exceptions (interviewing candidates, meeting new team member

For twitter, I highly recommend nitter.net (or other nitter instances) for anonymous reading. You can drop-in-replace the `twitter.com` with `nitter.net` for any twitter URL, and it will just work. At least... this will work until Elon kill

That's a remarkably dystopian take. Also, what about Elon's supposed commitment to free speech? Is criticism not speech? Note: I'm not talking about free speech in the context of the first amendment, as that does not apply to

EDIT: Ah, didn't see your reply until after I posted this. He tweeted at Fraunhoefer: > Twitter is super slow on Android. What have you done to fix that? Which sounds a lot like an attack to me, coming from someone in Elon's po

Ok. Here's the original tweet: https://nitter.net/elonmusk/status/1591853644944932865 The reply: https://nitter.net/EricFrohnhoefer/status/159190228540341862... And a screenshot of

That's fair. I'm definitely not super interested in a fitness oriented device, so I'm probably chafing against a UI that wasn't built for me. To me, I hated that everything was so huge on the display, leading to very low

Folks ITT will talk about watches that are similar in hardware, but what was magic about Pebble was the software and ecosystem. The OS was just a delight to use, fast, wonderfully animated, and let you sideload whatever you want. I've

It’s a shame they don’t make a US variant… I realize it’s the carriers’ and corrupt regulators’ fault, but still.

First of all, IANAL. EDIT: Oh yeah, I guess this is UK only. In any case, I don't see why an equivalent US site would run afoul. Like craigslist, this site is entirely user-generated listings, and I imagine it gets the same 230 protect

They aren't providing housing, merely connecting people to find common housing. By your logic, craigslist would have been crushed ages ago.

As someone who has loaded custom roms on more than a couple of dozen Android devices over the years, it is really hard to brick a device installing an OS. The closest I came was an Xperia Play years ago, but even that was recoverable after

To be fair, I've also had Apple push an OTA that softbricked my iPhone 7 Plus a few years back, and had to reset it in the same way. I learned the hard way that day to do a local backup before installing any OS updates. This is probabl

One change I implore Facebook/Oculus to make in light of the Facebook account requirement for these devices: Allow enabling of dev mode and APK sideloading, offline, from within the device settings without the dev account requirement.

Several of those listservs are very obviously centered around protected classes. Could increased monitoring (or lack thereof, say, of @christians) be seen as discrimination under employment law?

This is because, humorously, the snapshot is actually of the 502 page. Apparently Cloudflare kicked in too late.
