It just made a little fire, it didn't "explode". It would melt your floppy drive and make it useless but wouldn't come close to doing enough damage to hurt anyone unless they had their face a few inches from the front of

I'm not sure it was a "failed title", so much as upset a lot of people by advertising features that weren't in it at launch. I, and most people I knew who bought the game at launch, were disappointed but also REALLY enjo

You don't do it each time, you keep a single prepaid SIM as your "spam number", like people have spam gmail accounts for online competitions and random crap. I've been doing this for years. I have a $2 prepaid sim in an

My kids are only toddlers so not sure what ABC Kids was like before, but at least for the last 5 years it's been incredible. Play School, Peppa Pig, Wiggles, Daniel Tiger, Lah Lah, basically nothing but educational shows or clean enter

YouTube doesn't allow aggregator sites. You can embed a video in a blog post or page but you aren't allowed to provide an alternate method of "browsing" YouTube.

Wire is definitely my favourite of the secure IMs as far as UI/UX. It's also the one I've had most luck with when referring non-tech family and friends. They didn't like Signal or Riot (for a variety of reasons) but are

I use Tinkercad[0] every single day, for rough mock-ups through to complete exported STLs that I then 3D print. I have Fusion 360 but find it faster/easier to whip something together in Tinkercard unless it has any complexity to it, an

It is. GeForce Experience will stream to your predefined YouTube or Twitch channel just by hitting ALT-F9 (or whatever you want it to be), among other programs that do similar. People choose to use OBS for the extra features. Scenes, layout

It seems to do mostly capital cities so far, and the paths between. There's not really a capital-to-capital trip that passes through the Blue Mountains. I would really like an option that is something like "7 days around NSW"
