I find 4:3 too square for both tablets and laptops as it seriously detracts from watching widescreen video content such as nearly all newer movies and TV shows, but 16:9 does have seem a bit too wide compared to height, especially on tablet

On the subject of id engine open source releases, was tech 4(Doom 3) the last to get the GPL treatment?

Without a different rendering engine or plugins(Android version has both), the only reason I can think of is to sync history and passwords.

I've had the Beyond Burger both at home and at which ever chain of the TGIChilibees variety has/had it. The smell had a meaty essence to it, but more along the lines of dog food or potted meat rather than a burger. The taste was a

I had the original Pre. While the software still had a string beta feel to it, I could deal with it as the good out weighed the made for me for the most part. The problem for me ended up being the hardware, especially that terrible jelly ke

A case where the knock offs were sometimes better than the original in my opinion. Where the iPod you still had to use iTunes to get music on to the device, but could otherwise use it as a USB drive(can't remember if you had to specifi

I find it interesting that Apple is back to high levels of customization in its PCs. If I'm remembering correctly, one of the big motivators to move to x86 was to be able to use more commodity stuff through out the system, rather than

I get that you don't want to show mostly empty pages(but that's going to happen most places in November), but 500+ miles seems to be stretching the definition of near. Being in Tennessee, I don't know that I'd consider v

I had routinely entered the Ultraviolet codes from DVDs/BluRays into Vudu, but never used it because the apps/website for the service always seemed so clunky to me(and since it was all disc codes, it was just easier to rip the dis

It might be spelled out somewhere in the ToS, but I wonder what the terms for revoking access are.

My Vudu account has yet to work. It'd be nice since I've got a lot of Ultraviolet DVD/Bluray codes there, but generally don't bother going to Vudu for much else.

My biggest issue with buying digital movies has always been the lock in factor. If I buy from Amazon, I can't watch it on my Chromecast, if I buy from Google, I can't watch it on the Xbox, and if I buy from iTunes, I can't wa

I wonder if Microsoft will ever pull a Kindle and rollout custom Android device that replaces Google services and and apps with Microsoft equivalents.

I think the communicator thing came after Microsoft had already had Netscape in its sights. In response to Microsoft going after their browser with their monopoly, Netscape expanded their server offerings from web server to include other st

>That's false. The Chromecast SDK requires Google Play Services. Yep, and if I'm not mistaken, Chromecast initially didn't have the Play Services requirement(I seem to recall Netflix on the Kindle working at first). So def

The super budget phones like the E4 are pretty bad, but you can get a pretty decent camera on a midrange Android phone. I've got a Moto G5 Plus that is a pretty solid phone with a decent camera(only real short coming is very low light)

I'm sort of in the same boat. I've tried Terminator and tiling window managers and finally realized that tmux is what I wanted all along(on tiling window managers it turns out I really only want to tile terminals).

That about sums up the why of my recent job change. It was kind of hard to explain why I was leaving my job during interviews when the question was asked. It's hard to point out one thing and the individual Dilbert-y things seem like s

I started out with Atom even though it was slower than VSCode because of its richer plugin ecosystem, but these days VSCode has all the plugins I need so I've switched to it full time and haven't looked back and it's even mos

Of the extensions they surveyed, the only one I really see as a must have is Top Icons Plus. That weird little corner tray that Gnome puts the legacy tray icons in is, well weird. It just seems so out of place. Of the rest of them, the only

I loved the OS(even if it did still feel beta quality at times), but that original Pre hardware was just terrible. It felt so fragile and that jelly keyboard was awful.

Does anyone know if the x86 emulation for ARM that Microsoft is using was created in house if licensed from a third party? If it's the later, it certainly opens for Apple to easily get their hands on the same thing for a quicker transf

Hopefully this is also a change of stance in general to the Google Play store in general and we'll see the line of Fire tablets actually get a usable app store. I like the Fire tablets more than most other budget Android tablets, but t

When I first started in the late 90's I mostly relied on books or long form written tutorials on the internet. I don't really remember using forums much until the early '00s for programing type related questions.
