Game development, particularly of that era, made the lion's share of sales in the first year or two after release. The fact that 32-bit was going to end was never going to be a relevant consideration. This isn't IBM fulfilling a 1

Microsoft updates are also really bloated. Fortunately, Microsoft was able to solve this problem by implementing a feature so your PC uploads updates to other PCs for them. No need to improve update size, users can just share the cost of th

And it isn't like the users are going to stop using Windows anyway. Some of them will whine and make empty threats about switching their OS "if they keep it up" but nobody actually believes them because they've been keep

My understanding is that by default Windows update has drive updates on and installs all manner of manufacturer crapware through it.

I'm not active in this space really but since the Quest headsets still require a Meta account to run at all, Meta can change the rules at will here. Even if some one has figured out how to jailbreak them the majority of people won&#x27

Can't wait until my smartTV starts pausing ads when the wi-fi sensing determines I'm on the toilet and not watching.

I remember reading Bullfrog would take the engine from their last game and build a prototype to play to see if it was any fun. Then they'd throw it away and start over.

AMD is kind of ironically hamstring by x86. They make a lot more profit off their CPUs than they do their GPUs and they only have so many TSMC wafers for both products. If they try to buy their way into more GPU market share they're lo

I'm not sure how long that would last. Services already typically block anything that isn't a mobile number for sign ups. Sometimes they even block pre-paid mobile numbers.

by bonton89 3y ago
Mobile numbers are the obvious choice for large tech companies. They provide a pretty good user identifier for tracking and advertising purposes. And they allow outsourcing the hard parts of verifying a user to some one else. It isn't

Better than my similar Mac story from the early aughts. I did not frequently use Mac computers but needed to quickly print a document I had burned to CD. For whatever reason, I was in the Mac computer lab which had nothing but what I believ

I was going to say, if Google is silently losing and corrupting files then backing up from there is just duplicating the failure. But perhaps his backup scheme accounts for this unreliability.

I believe Tom Hanks already had some one deep fake him into endorsing some medicare scam product. I'd be more worried about that than the unsavory narration which most people probably would assume was fake.

Aren't these VoIP? Almost every service blocks VoIP numbers for sign ups these days, but perhaps Signal is an exception.

These all sounded like crap to me as well. I've heard earlier models had much higher radio power (that was possibly illegal) and worked better. They were an archaic tech by the time I was buying the adapters off amazon.

Probably the same way all of the other worse things they've done in Windows 10/11 are!

Many of the stores I go to seem to have thwarted this strategy by having no human run checkouts even open most of the time! Even if they do they seem to intentionally under-man them so they are super backed up.

I've often thought Intel kind of ignored the discrete GPU market for so long because they just assumed they would eventually absorb those functions into the CPU like they did with everything else.

That didn't seem to work for Microsoft.

Maybe an other way around solution? Is is possible to build some kind of dummy cell tower that supersedes real ones?

I think you answered your own question with the admission that is one of many intentional user-hostile experiences. Most people put up with the other stuff so why would they stop?

And that's if you try. Eventually it becomes common knowledge reporting the crime is just a waste of time and most people don't even bother when it happens. This isn't something that will really show in statistics though so i
