IPTV in Western Europe is becoming more popular because it's decently priced for what you get. Say you want to watch football, but don't give a shit about anything else sports related. Well, you're probably still paying for e

I'd imagine the lawyers who have worked with it for 10-20 years or more are very grateful that its layout hasn't changed since 95. They've got better things to do than to hunt down a button that moved between Office 2016 and

They did once upon a time atleast.[1] Most videos probably go through dedicated hardware nowadays, but it wouldn't surprise me if some videos still have to go the FFmpeg route that catches all the videos that the dedicated hardware can

Does it matter? Like, I don't expect Google to deliver patches for FFmpeg beyond bug fixes or features that directly benefit them, but that's the least you can expect.

I can't help but be reminded about the time that an MS employee put in a ticket on FFmpeg's bug tracker and said it was 'High priority'.[1][2] On the one hand, this one Microsoft employee was probably in a bind and actua

As the article says, it's a dark pattern, and there's no actual reason for any random visitor to press 'Accept all' other than the fact that it's simpler. I'm still waiting for the EU or whatever other court to

If you copy-paste the first paragraph or the whole text of a Wikipedia page, then absolutely. If you have to dig in to a decently log page to find a small blurb, highlight the text you believe to be germane to whatever point is being made,

Is there an about:config option toggle for this in Firefox? Seems like the kind of thing that should be an option in there, given everything else you can adjust, and it seems a bit much to have to need a full on browser add-on to be able to

While neat, it glosses over the actual problem, while maybe not even solving it (depending on what you deem the problem to be in the first place). It solved the immediate problem today, but not in a way that's going to remain solved. I

That anecdote goes the other way if you skew towards popular multiplayer games, since those are the ones with anti-cheat. Someone who plays League, Apex, PUBG, and Destiny 2, and was really looking forward to BF6, will be mightily disappoin

en-DK is used for this in some cases, giving you English, but with metric units and an ISO keyboard among other things. A dedicated one for International English, or heck, even just EU-English, would be great. The EU websites just use en fr

You'd be surprised how many people watch Seinfeld and Friends on repeat as comfort shows. Old shows is a pretty large part of their business.

That's an argument for having a more expensive service, not a worse one. Even ignoring price, nothing on the video side comes close to Spotify when it comes to selection, other than Netflix back in the day.

I'll pay 100 USD a month for an 'everything' subscription. That option doesn't exist, and piracy is by far the best option outside of that.

Fair point! Although that's a gate I very much like. I don't think Steam has any complete blockers to microtransactions, given that there are games that do have it, although I don't think they're as predatory about it as

DRM is optional on Steam. The dev can opt to not include it, and the default Steam DRM is trivially bypassed anyway. Valve barely does any gatekeeping that isn't caused by outside pressure, i.e. Visa and Mastercard in the latest instan

CRTs were only ever made sense to manufacture on a really big scale, so that costs could be reduced. Early tubes which weren't manufactured on such a scale were accordingly stupid expensive. I doubt anyone is going to spin up another f
