Thanks for the correction, I see that now. I had the same thought, especially for Orlando. Here's hoping we handle it well. An outbreak here would likely be far deadlier than most other states, if not all.

Tampa? That one has me perplexed as, if I read right, those two didn't even travel. That would indicate an unknown carrier, meaning our own guesses of number of cases is probably way off.

Do you disagree? Why do they need permission? You own the game on Steam, or buy it on Steam, and they just give you a VM to play it on. I don't need their permission to get a new computer, do I?

At least via shield tv, typing is the absolute worst, I agree. However, I've only had to log in to steam once, now it just does it behind the scenes. It's actually kinda hacky, you can see it launch Steam, launch the window, the

You're both right, kinda. Geforce Now was in a ..closed-ish beta (you could get in, but they made it seem exclusive) for years. I honestly don't remember if it was called that when it launched. The polished product is what rece

People speculate 'the money', and I have to agree. This isn't a tech problem, as in, it was working last month, and gone this month. Basically, what incentive is there to let people play what they already own, when you can

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I'm a stay at home, couch player. So the only method of playing for me is via the Chromecast, which only supports the Stadia controller. The controller is decent, but the battery life is not up

I'm both bullish and bearish on cloud gaming, if that makes sense. I have Stadia, and the tech is really nice, but as pointed out, there are no games. Further, you have to buy/rebuy all your games just for Stadia, which may not

I'm already being downvoted to oblivion, might as well reply. The fact that airlines cater to disabled people isn't even in question, that much is obvious to anyone who has even seen a plane take off. What's in question is

Same thought I had. It's crazy to me they aren't expanding premium economy row by row til it's not filling up. It's often nearly double the cost, but doesn't nearly take up double the room. I think they'll a

Sure there exist solutions, but my point was, airlines don't do that today. I'd love to be able to auction on a front row aisle seat! To your second question, booked of course. My entire point was they'll sell any seat to a

My biggest "problem" with premium economy is simply that it's always full. My flights are always a week out or less, and every single time it's completely full, leaving me with some near lav middle seat. It's like

This absolutely isn't accurate. The website promoting this garbage is dangerous. Nobody knows the total infected, nor the real fatality rate. But pay attention to how many on the cruise liners have died. 14% is a joke. My completel

I'd imagine they can. I read just yesterday there were something like 8 Chinese companies now making knockoff remdesivir, patents be damned.

Having it verified only solves half the issue(people lying). The bigger half is that people use this as a tool for 'bragging'. Joe Schmo making 90k in OKC isn't going to submit. Nor is the lady who feels severely underpaid

Amazon is a total landfill these days. As much as I hate to admit it as such, my wife does reviews for 'free' products, often paying in addition. I could write a novel on how this system works, but in short I'll say, review

You had to disassociate your own google account before factory resetting. If you forgot, then yes, it requires the previous owner's gmail password to continue.

Mine is returning a phone, and having them ask for my Gmail password three times. Maybe it's my fault I didn't disassociate something prior to factory reset, but the phone was fine. And new. They claimed they couldn't comp

Honestly, it just sounds like your job is too stressful. I work 5 days a week, sometimes more, but nobody bats an eye if I need to go somewhere 2 or 3 hours in the middle of the day. I much prefer this to 4 full time days. 5 days of less

This is the sad truth. Try being a person who leans conservative, having the absolute racists of society be on your team. I imagine it's not much different than a liberal leaning person getting all the crazies on their side. I wish

Look, I understand that in a perfect world, all contracts would be neutral and fair. But we live in a decidedly imperfect world, full of bribes, vendettas, and good ole boy clubs. We live in an age where you can be fired for expressing an

Like everything else in life, this isn't fair. In my early 20s, they started moving these people into my father's neighborhood, which I couldn't afford so led a worse quality of life. Why should people who contribute nothin

Wayland is "the future", but I don't bother with it. It has too many warts and lack of support. Screen sharing support is a hack that kinda works, except for Electron apps. X 'just works'.

Maybe if Gnome's default theme didn't make window title bars half the size of the screen, people wouldn't be so eager to theme. Seriously, I have a huge, hi res monitor and the default theme makes it feel like some child or

N26 just launched in the US, also. If their UK launch was anything like their US launch, I can see why. They made a lot of promises about how much better they'd be, but their offering is terrible compared to the competition here.

This pretty much mirrors my experience. The following may seem coldhearted, evil, or misguided, but it's the truth. After high school I wasn't making a ton of money, so moved back to near where I grew up, which was a very cheap p

Absolutely. Same with chick fil a. They run a tight ship, but importantly, they are completely nice, much like Costco employees. And as long lines prove for both, there's an untapped market for this.

Yes, perfect comparison. This is super popular nowadays. Fintech startups like Varo, Sofi, Chime, GreenDot, and I think Simple all use the FDIC of their 'partner' banks. IMO not much risk, all my money is in the first two I men

Absolutely. To answer your question, both. I think people realize there is some inherent danger, but don't care. Partly because of the 'itll never happen to me' thought, and partly because humans have been driven to isolat
