The same situation here. Registered with my real name and it asked me to verify the account, then I was asked to pay on a yearly basis.

I can trust John Carmack's words when he says in an interview, or on stage. There's a passion in his talks, a nervousness in blurting what he really feels, and those are really good traits, in my mind. I genuinely felt a sense of

I'm glad I paid for Pocket Casts ages ago. It's a brilliant app that's beautifully designed, and had features well before the competition caught up with support for the desktop as well. For my early support, they offered me 3

I use a Cherry MX Blue keyboard at home and I have the same model I bought 12 years ago for work too. I wanted to try out something quiet, affordable, with lesser travel and something that doesn't annoy people around me. The post makes

Tried installing my first Linux distribution, Slackware (3.4) in 1997. It worked. I deleted the only partition on that 630MB Seagate drive, and wondered why Windows wouldn't boot anymore.

A lot of us like this post, because we can run through it and not be offended by any of it. Unfortunately, the vast majority of people will run through it and will be happy ignoring the one or two on the list that they seriously subscribe t

Oh my! This is such a crazy upgrade. I've been using the RPI2 as my HTPC/NAS at my folks, and I'm so happy with it. I was itching to get the last one for myself. USB 3.0! Gigabit Ethernet! WiFi 802.11ac, BT 5.0, 4GB RAM! 4K!

It might be the videos shared on WhatsApp, TikTok, Youtube, then the Netflix, Amazon Prime and Hotstar consumption. We were deprived for the longest, being offered a gigabyte for a month for $5 - $10, and now we have practically free mobile

Some things, very few things are genuinely wanted and we value them all along. The rest that follows, not so much. Wanting to want is the fun, not getting what you want. Once you have it, you want something else, then the pursuit of wanting
