Are they playing on Xboxes? Because that is Microsoft's living room product, and the part of the business that is struggling right now. To give you an idea of how bad it is, they slowed console manufacturing to a trickle last year to t

The soldered on RAM and SSD, while technically replaceable, make it a much more difficult process than just swapping some DIMMS and an m.2. I understood the technical need for soldered on memory (physical limitations of SODIMM got in the wa

Most productivity metrics are stupid, vain attempts at avoiding doing real management work. If you are actually interfacing with your subordinates regularly, as managers should , it will be obvious who is pulling their weight and who isn&#

ChromeOS is the absolute last desktop operating system I would choose to use for myself. Linux, macOS, and Windows would have to be completely dead and buried before I would switch, and at that point I might just consider abandoning tech al

I fail to see how making it illegal to tell people how to use a VPN isn't a blatant violation of the First Amendment, but I have a feeling the average Republican in my home state thinks Freedom of Speech only applies to them.

5 years ago I would have agreed, but seeing how the GOP has been fighting tooth and nail to protect actual child sex traffickers, I don't think so anymore. There's just no possible way that the safety of children is an actual conc

This DoJ is actively working to protect actual sex traffickers from accountability. What makes this doofus think they will ever investigate their own friends for insider trading?

I think this is a case of people using bidirectional file sync wrong. The point is to make the most up to date version of a file available across multiple devices, not to act as a backup or for collaboration between multiple users. It works

I'm pretty sure "can't" in this context is legally binding. Windows licenses up to this point have been sold without expiration dates. If Microsoft suddenly started charging a subscription to keep using the same copy of

I am also NAL, but it almost certainly is legal to make backups for personal use. Breaking the encryption is the usual legal hangup, though there is no real enforcement on this front and nobody is stopping you from using Handbrake or MakeMK

I've been doing this since 2009. Regular 1080p blu-rays still usually provide better image quality than streaming services. It's not even a contest between streaming and 4k discs. I've bought and watched hundreds of movies an
