I always wonder why Americans jump from one extreme to another. There are plenty of solutions in between free market and central planning, you know?

Great series of articles. I also went through the other DRM article linked in part 3. I love the insight into how something like this was reverse engineered. Does anybody know any similar articles? Maybe something where the software is name

Warranty only goes for 1-3 years. Where the rate of failure for batteries is very low. After that, you're stuck with high repair costs or buying a new device that falls under warranty again. It's a racket and people keep falling f

I use the Malwarebytes Windows Firewall Control. It's always interesting to see what applications or services are making internet requests. Much of it ends up being Windows services, but still.

Same as anywhere else. Lack of supply caused by zoning and an interest in keeping property values high by existing owners.

Are you gatekeeping? Really? If you are dependent on something to a degree that it has an adverse effect on your life, it's an addiction. Full stop. The degree or the effects will differ, but it feels like you're dismissing the su

Honestly, this is deeply concerning. Apple shouldn't be in a position to be able to police what photos we take. If I'm a teen and I sext with a partner, does that mean that in the near future, our messages/photos will be flag

I hope this doesn't mean the end of Parsec as a standalone service. There's nothing out there that comes close to Parsec's performance and it'd be a huge loss.

I think people are making too much of Arch in this case. They aren't going to put Arch on Steam Deck and call it a day. It'll be more like putting Manjaro on it. Except it isn't Manjaro, it's their own distro based on Ar

That's utterly ridiculous and you're clearly arguing in bad faith. Let's say I do have the infinite amount of time necessary and the technical expertise to conduct an audit of a custom ROM. Is every single person who's

If you have other options or other things that should be considered, then add them. As it is, you seem to be dismissing his absolutely valid concerns without any reason as to why you think they're invalid. I have the same concerns as h

As soon as a system becomes a target, it doesn't matter if it's an entirely bespoke system that only runs on Iranian trains. You might avoid being accidentally targeted by automated exploits, but that doesn't mean your system

At the very least they're capable of doing decent remasters, which why it was surprising how absolutely terrible the WC3 remaster was and how much they cocked it up. I have rarely seen such a bad series of decisions before in making a

> it is kind of wrong to blame the tool for the mistakes made by the one wielding it. I always find takes like this bizarre. We're constantly improving the safety of the tools and devices we use. Our history is filled with examples

It's nuts how widespread these ideas about EVs are, even amongst people where I honestly would have expected something more. A lot of people I've talked to rely on two main arguments. 1) Producing EVs is far more polluting than no

Maybe. However, the rates at which I'm seeing long Covid seem entirely novel. Something like 30% of all cases in a recent study show signs of it, including mild cases. I admit there are overlaps in fatigue syndrome (and should've

Farming is essential, yes. But farming isn't the issue. It's wasteful farming methods and wasteful crops based on a lack of pricing signal for water. Telling residential users to use less water will not fix any of the real issues

Honestly, I'd prefer the Steam Deck over my phone, simply because it's a dedicated gaming device with integrated controls. I'm always forgetting my gamepad and I hate fiddling with putting the phone in the holder. It's j

Have you never experienced an unbootable system because of a corrupted registry? It's unfixable. And I'm not saying it happens when manually editing the registry. It might happen when Windows crashes at the wrong time and the syst

I recently installed XP drivers on a Windows 10 system. Worked flawlessly, even though officially this wasn't supported. 9x to XP/Vista is the last breaking change we've seen and that was over 15 years ago. It's quite im

So, exactly what Bruce Lee did. Read his books. He talks about how he was disappointed with traditional martial arts and how he was always interested in finding the most effective techniques and ideas. I honestly don't understand why y

Sorry, Bruce Lee and static? What are you even talking about? He's one of the earliest examples of MMA I can think of in how he tried to draw from different martial arts to create jeet kune do, which was not just created for movies.
