It's a little unorthodox to have your week long beta after the game is already pressed to disc, and a week before the game launches. Also, I agree with you - Their patch tool is pretty terrible.. Perhaps due to the way the game files a

Absolutely - In the US anyway, it's illegal to void a warranty because you modify the product. They don't need to cover any damage done by the modifications, but they can't deny warranty coverage to anything else. I'm no

That's such a weird sentence to read. The idea of buying a car and being afraid to modify it because of how the manufacturer might react feels entirely dystopian to me.

I really like this feature, and I hope the other browsers support it quickly. I've been using https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/dark-night-mo... to convert webpages to darkmode. It doesn&#x2

I'm curious why this is tied to DNS-over-HTTPS. It looks like Cloudflare is including a public key in the DNS lookup, which is used to encrypt the SNI information. Couldn't this key be stored in a TXT record for normal DNS lookups

I'm curious why they're applying the "Firefox" branding to this. I suppose it makes sense as a Mozilla project, but what does it have to do with the browser?

A) They could make it thicker. It’s not an either/or. B) No one was calling for the elimination of the headphone jack. Every poll shows broad support for it. Apple themselves said it took ‘courage’ which is not the adjective you’d use

I’ve had various retina MBP since they came out as work laptops, and still use various non retina screens on some personal laptops. In a vacuum, I guess the Retina display is nicer? It’s not something that I really find very noticeable, pe

I'm sure you mean well, but sort of argument of "Sure X is bad, but what about Y?" isn't particularly helpful. There's always going to be Other things. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't call-out bad thing

Yeah, it’s basically a handler for nagios/sensu/etc which will open/close issues in its DB and assign them to whomever is on-call for that day. It can then phone/text them when it gets an alert, and escalate to the next

Cool idea, thanks for the explanation. The website doesn't give me a lot of information - The main page has a neat screenshot, but it wasn't evident that it shares the posts or has community about them. Maybe you can add some info

I don't think davesque's comment said anything about "fault". He said he's gotten tired of all these stories about Tesla and Musk, so he's unlikely to buy a Tesla now. That's a statement about davesque and

Just to be clear - It looks like iTunes does allow you to subscribe by entering the RSS url directly. They are removing the podcast from their directory of podcasts, not blocking the ability to subscribe.

I would presume it would work the same as if you had two other part-time jobs, such as working at both Walmart and Best Buy.

I personally love that feature! I work remotely, and we do regular scheduled video meetings. I don't want to carry around a dongle, but I also want to know that it's fully off when I'm not in a chat. This way I don't nee
