Battery fires do seem a legitimate concern for the electric-everything future. And a multi-storey car park inferno started by a battery pack is no longer a hypothetical situation. Would you charge a cheap chinese e-scooter in your home unat

It’s not just about ‘can you run Win11’, it’s whether it’s actually a decent replacement for 10. Is the Win11 user experience any better yet? Can I clear all junk from the taskbar and start menu without Explorer patching tools? I skipped Wi

Real life doesn't look like a movie. Fast action doesn't turn into a shaky smeary mess, and there's no '24fps camera panning' judder as you look around

It was used to try and make 30fps console racing games look less juddery, but didn't really work. Racing games are a genre that really does need 60fps+ to feel good. Even in the 90s, the developers of 3D arcade racing games were well a

It's not so much that the companies care about the individual 'wrongthinkers', they're worried about what the activists could do to the reputation of their company/brand. The activist behaviour is close to blackmail

It might cut down on anonymous harassment/abuse if people can't create anonymous accounts and hide behind VPNs and throwaway email addresses. But it's not going to make any difference to anything if it doesn't apply to e
