I remember once buying a graphics card that included one of these virtual environments where files were on shelves, etc. Wish I could remember its name.

There's not nearly enough awareness of this. Even with root access, on modern Android you have to set up a virtual USB connection just to get at the files in the data folders of android apps if you want to, for example, sync the savega

So he repeatedly feeds dirty power into consumer routers and is surprised when they don't function correctly. Then he writes an article complaining about it while being careful to exclude any relevant facts like the models of router

I bounce off Linux every few years because I always run into a "that's just broken and if you don't like it go eff yourself" situation. Maybe sleep doesn't work right, or battery health charge limiting doesn't

How aggressive is the driver monitoring with Openpilot? I don't personally see a lot of purpose to driver assistance systems that won't let you, for example, eat with both hands while it keeps the car centered in the lane.

Yes, the British starved millions to death. What does that have to do with an American program?

We're perfectly aware of this, just as we're aware a large part of the starvation the US was saving Indians from was due to decades of the British forcing them to grow cash crops instead of food. An American collection of Indian w

Peter Zeihan is very witty but he's been saying the Chinese are three years away from cannibalizing each other for food for about ten years now.

At this point I'm starting to wonder if Intel's corporate strategy is "pray all of the fabs in Taiwan are destroyed during a Chinese invasion".

This applies equally to everyone is always the rallying cry when a rule applies to everyone while not being equally onerous to everyone. It's like dress codes in schools that are much easier for girls to violate than boys, or office

Right. It's like concluding that traffic congestion has no effect on mood after talking to a bunch of commuters whose commute time never varied by more than five percent during the study.

So what's the best solution? Suppose you have a dumb TV, or a smart TV locked to a single input. It seems like there are big downsides to most approaches. Rokus and Fire sticks have the same downsides as smart tvs, with ads and laggy i

Exactly. How many hours of WoW makes up for having to explain to a girl in her 20s that it's your first date? How much YouTube does it take to forget that you had to use your cousin as your best man? How many up-votes does it cost to m

I had unfiltered internet access from around the age of ten onwards. I can confidently say that was a horrible idea and I would have been much better off as a person without it.

I don't really understand the target audience for this. If I don't want my personal media to be in the internet I just don't put it on the internet.

It is such a tragedy that a large percentage of modern multi-player games come with no options for bots. For example, it would be so lovely to be able to play the Master Chief Collection against customizable bots.

Dealing with dementia in the elderly is difficult enough, but it has a progression and you can feel how close you're getting to the end. Having to provide a similar level of care to someone who may live on for decades seems like a livi

Weird that an organization like Netflix is having problems with this considering their depth of both experience and pockets. I wonder if they didn't expect the number of people who were interested in finding out what the pay-per-view e

At the time in 2018, AT&T would let you bring whatever device you wanted. They implemented whitelisting in the leadup to disabling 3G voice in February 2022. I believe sometime around March or May of 2021 was the last time you could act

I was forced to give up my beloved OnePlus 6 barely eighteen months after buying it when AT&T shut down 3G and moved to a whitelist scheme where any phone not allowed was forbidden. I'd just moved my family off Verizon for the same
