I've read a few stories, with different 'takes' on 'what went wrong' They're all obviously coloured by the sources/reporter as obviously (in this case) if your pilot/simulator was impacted by cost cut

I agree - people are likely to already have stands. And for a mere additional $199 Apple will sell you a VESA mount to let you attach your standless monitor to your stand

It's the same approach that luxury car makers take, where the normal set of options could buy you a budget car. The people who are going to buy this are a self-selecting group who have the money, want 'the best' performance a

To be fair, I had a pretty similar problem with Google Pay yesterday. The handy "google pay" button just sent me on a loop to fix my address, I did, it accepted, then rejected on pay as there was "an issue with my address&quo

If he'd survived. If say he'd been killed after the transfer, I'm not sure Police would have checked to see if the victim had made any domain name transfers prior to the home invasion.

Yep - that's the vague amorphous idea I had rattling around my head, just described by somebody who knows what they're doing. As stated - it's getting the initial adoption going that's problematic. Probably pointing out

Agreed. Wouldn't want the camera in my home, or pointed at me whilst I work - but I'm OK with "me walking by" Basically, I've accepted the neighbour is already allowed to see me as I walk by - this is just improving

I came here to judge - but if there's no way of paying for the adverts to go away (stitcher? maybe spotify (I pay, but don't use it for podcasts)) I have sympathy. Skeptoid did offer a nice/hacky/old-school solution like

I waded through those articles - and whilst I don't like the idea of 'cameras' everywhere, didn't actually spot the alluded to smoking gun that was going to blow the whole conspiracy open. Obviously aspects like "bl

Yep - if you block youtube ads in the browser, google doesn't pay out to the maker. Sure, it's only tiny fractions of cents - but I consider it stealing.

I upgraded a few months back, as I'd exceeded by drive limit and the upgrade to 2Tb storage dumped me into this new "Google One" thing. I'm actually pretty happy with it, as I just entered into it as the next storage tie

My guess is that the "death of trucking" will come in two parts. The part they say is 'hard' - is definitely a hard nut to crack - but maybe only a few percentage of the time they spend trucking. The "endless trips

Advantage can be pretty synonymous with wealth though. Could be your dad happens to run the "People's Industry X" or simply you inherited a role that "X many people have to hold for the production to be not shut down&quo

Maybe I didn't make my point clearly enough. To me - it was a silly fun game I spent an evening with - and then never touched again. The whole "becoming a thing" completely missed me. I maybe say it was on Android, or Xbox -

Minecraft is the game that made me feel old - and that I was genuinely missing out on something. I seemingly signed up my €15 in 2011 and had fun. Then forgot about it. Then I remember when MS bought it for silly money. Full on WTF? headspi

I'd like to think of it as 'big tobacco' - but most of them own vape brands, so would have thought they'd be most happy to carry on selling nicotine products, without being beaten up with them killing people. Now - I don

The total of the investment in a new architecture/chip is significantly higher than one guys salary (although I presume he's compensated very well). Maybe it's just once the corporate gears of a company have aligned to invest

I think it's worse than that. "Cancellation" is often used in the same way the pillory used to be - making an example of one, as a warning to the rest. Whilst it's still bouncing around as a thing, discussions simply are

I'm going to quibble your 2nd sentence: "Highly addictive ones do indeed ruin lives" Today, I'll agree with you. Question is why? Clearly heroin ruins the lives of people who commit crimes to pay for it, as they're

Why would you downvote this? Seems reasonable to raise the fact your suspicious sleeping-partner could press your digit to your phone, if they wanted access. I know we all like a good story, but just taking pixels, I'm unsure how this

I've no idea, but there's the leaked settings screens that have an "attention" (i.e. eyes open) requirement (like IOS). Maybe it'll be released, maybe it won't - but we know it's possible and I can't

Prime is a pretty awesome tool in their arsenal though. Initially "Pay up-front for discounted shipping" is a bit of a hard sell. Works fine for customers who've shopped with them for years and can tot up the shipping fees th
