Yeah, as long as you run the desktop app they'll keep track of what games and apps you have running (even if you disable the app sharing to your friends) which seems like it would be _very_ valuable to most gaming related companies. Ed

I've seen this suggested often but I don't think I've ever seen any information about how it'd actually work in practise. Do the car companies actually want to do it, how is the car owner compensated for the battery wear

Grid storage is such an interesting topic to me. We are all used to energy storage at a small scale (phone batteries, even electric cars) but the challenges of needing to store such vast amounts of energy seems like an almost impossible tas

The article mentions that some AU residents have been able to bypass this ban by linking to tweets of news stories. Has Twitter indicated whether it'll be following the Facebook or Google route? I can only imagine that they will be cov

I use DNS66 to as a VPN ad blocker. You can lock the app so that clearing running apps won't shut it down, should work for this app too. Just long press on the running window and a lock option should show up. It works for me and I onl

Are the IPs from the same ARN block? Cloudflare should show you that in the Firewall events page. If they're using IPs from a single VPN/Server company then you might be able to just block the ASN. You might also be able to find c

I always try Firefox every 6 months or so but end up going back to a Chromium based browser after a few days. It's never anything major but for example this issue with the address bar suggesting the root domain instead of the pages I a

This might be the best place to ask. I recently got a Recumbent exercise bike which is compatible with iFit. Does anyone know any apps which are able to communicate with iFit compatible equipment without needing to use the iFit app? I'

One of the games I run the infrastructure from had an issue with Proton. It caused issues with the multiplayer parts of the game. We were forced to disable support for Proton a few months ago. We posted a bug in the Proton GitHub repo and g

It also shows that Apple really don't care about their customers and would rather stick it to Epic than continue to support the people who choose to use their login system. If Apple wanted to show some goodwill towards the end users wh

I use DDG on my mobile device now. I switched when Google started showing images in the omnibox as I typed in search terms. I found it useless and distracting but (of course) Google knew better and didn't offer any way to disable it. G

I think one of the reason larger companies like them is because they may end ad blockers once and for all. You can read a discussion about some of the issues that it causes here - https://github.com/WICG/webpackage&#x2F

Will this new storage layer be available for AWS services like RDS and ElasticSearch? I checked the dashboards and the SSD options are still just "General Purpose SSD" or "Provisioned SSD". My understanding is that these

Ah yeah, the Argos catalogue. I used to walk past their stores on my way to work. You'd see hundreds of them on pallets outside the store for people to take. By the end of each day the pile would always be much smaller as they were pre

This has been my experience too, CF is just so easy to migrate to and to configure once you're there. If AWS was able to offer a single click "DDOS protection and CDN" feature with similar pricing and features as Cloudflare t

If you can handle some interruption to your work then spot instances are probably going to be the biggest immediate change you can make. Right now a g4dn.xlarge is $0.526/h on demand but only $0.1578/h as a spot instance. You migh

I'm still confused by the statement 'Flash-based content will be blocked from running in Adobe Flash Player after the EOL Date.' are they literally going to stop the flash player loading SWF files on the 1st of January?

To enable the old behaviour you need to edit a browser flag. I don't know of any of the flags that disable Google 'engagement' features which have been kept around over the long term. The flags I've had to set in the pas

I've been looking into how to best make a large collection of flash games available after flash is removed from browsers. An electron app was looking promising but that plan has been scuppered by licensing issues with the Flash runtime

As well as caching, we make really heavy use of Redis for Leaderboards for our games. The sorted sets are perfect for storing score along with the userid. Scanning the leaderboard, finding neighboring scores, etc are all really fast operati
