Pretty soon all media will be owned by 4 tech billionaires. They have done so well with preserving a free and open internet I cannot see why people are concerned they are gobbling up all the alternative legacy communications platforms.

Faking research data that then leads to the death of citizens from your product should result in a corporate death sentence.

Yeah, I watch mine exploration videos and it's shocking how well wood in a dry and stable environment will last.

Game companies these days barely optimize engine graphical performance before release never mind the package size or patching speed. They just stamp higher minimum system requirements on the package.

Years and years ago, I used to poke around on shodan looking for open NAS's for media and eventually stumbled on the open cameras. It's wild what some folks have shared openly with everyone.

I think it depends on how they got rich. From the outside to me it looks like the ones who sacrifice their 20's to the grind and getting rich never get that shit out of their system like the rest of us do and end up as emotionally stun

Game Publishers hoard IP like Smaug. I can't even begin to catalog the IP's in the EA, UBI, and Activision's vaults. In many cases, the original creators can't even get the time of day to ask to use the IP.

Personally, I am very much over paying Sony and X-Box a monthly fee to "play games online" in 2025. I bowed out of the last console generation, but I would be up for a small form factor multimedia PC that made may Steam library ac

It was wild how quickly the E-Z Pass scammers knew that I had been on a road trip and passed through those tolls. I live in TX and drove to MA for Christmas last year and these started right when I got back. They are almost def on the insid

I played 3 times finished twice. 1.0 was 5/10 (quit after a few days) 1.5 was 7/10 (finished) Phantom Liberty was a 9/10 (finished) It took 2 full years of additional development for 2077 to be in the amazing state it is in n

I would rephrase this as they got there because they treat their customers with respect, they take feedback to improve their platform, they don't pack their launcher / store front with ads and trickery, and you can trust that your

Polymarket, Stake... you are crazy to gamble on unregulated gambling sites. Saw a video today of someone hitting $500k on Stake but not getting a payout. Unless their code is entirely open source, how do you know they aren't biasing th

I did MS Word support in the long long ago during its transition to dominance. There was nothing worse than getting a call from a lawyer who was forced off Word Perfect.

The start-up costs of creating a new chip manufacture are significantly higher (you can't just SAAS your way into factories) and the chips themselves more subject to IP and patents owned by that company.

No matter how you slice it this is miserable root password security. Why do maintainers need root access? No one in my org has root access but me and all those creds are tied to hardware MFA locked in my MDF.

The way websites and apps have screwed with copy/paste over the last decade is one of my largest tech pet peeves and I have used a number of extensions to work around this non-sense.

It's even more ironic when you remember in 2005 the tables were turned, and Intel was trying to buy Nvidia.
