Fortnite only offers cosmetic purchases. Monetary exchange through this game, and many others, in this format of money for cosmetic content does not alter the gameplay mechanics in any way. At best you could argue a marginal camouflage impa

Netflix and Amazon rarely show ads, normally just a short 30 second recommendation at that. All streaming in HD in about 5 seconds.

I often use highlighting as a positional anchor, often when tired. My eyes begin to lose focus and I can end up reading the same line over-and-over again. In some cases contrast highlighting doesn't work, particularly on macOS since it

Twitch is trying to do it. They turned the Curse application into a game/mod store that also integrated custom servers that essentially mirrored Discord's application. They also are using Twitch Prime and other service integration

It happened just a few weeks ago with Shopify and the Citron Report. The Citron Report's author often finds stocks that have gone up, places shorts, and then promotes the idea that these companies are scams with no fundamental value. H

For local redundancy, use a RAID 1 or RAID 5 setup, either in one of your home systems, or you can buy a simple NAS solution like a Drobo, and set it up for mirroring to multiple drives. The NAS unit ($350-500) + 3-4 4TB HDD's (~$120&#

Depending on how much content you have a small drive array should be fine if you're willing to down size to 720p^. Or willing to upgrade to higher capacity than what I share below. An hour of 720p = ~1.15GB An hour per week for a year

Yeah, that would be a great policy. Still allow consumption, but remove any production rights on the service.

I don't know about Google's cleanup policies, but I would guess that data may have been gone within 3-6 months. When my ban occurred, I had reclaimed access in a total of 5-6 days, due to an urgency to make sure I got through befo

That was a different individual. I've never uploaded a video at any point.

That's fair, most of the videos have no or little personal value, if bit rot occurred I most likely wouldn't notice up to around a 20% change. Average length of time of those videos is around 5 minutes, total size ~135 hours, or ~

Yep, I did that at the time, for the important videos. Still haven't found a good playlist backup, aside from using the API, not wanting to store all those videos (something like 2000 videos at this point across 30 lists, not including

Part of the issue is just the systems on the backend. I had my account removed about 3 years ago for some mistaken flag of copyright infringement, having never uploaded a video. I had 7 years of liked videos and curated playlists, that I wa

It is. I hadn't even looked into it, because I set the job to off hours and the domains have low enough volume even a non-graceful reload wouldn't effect anything. Thanks for asking, because now I know. I was just assuming the sam

The same thing is required of nginx. I personally have a cron script set up on my domain gateway to update certificates once a month and reload nginx, at the end. Total unavailability is about .5 sec once a month.

They can still profit off the GPU's at current rates, if a glut is coming. For personal use I bought some brand new R9 390's last year @$270. If I had wanted to sell them used about 2 weeks ago I could have sold them for about $70

The technique I personally use, as a full-stack developer, is if I can get features planned out into weekly chunks, segment days to backend vs frontend work, and move forward. Monday is backend, Tuesday is frontend integration, Wednesday i

"They think in their head, don't work through the problem at all." Those are independent clauses. Just because the individual is not talking out loud, should not be indicative that they aren't working through the problem

IANAL But that is the issue, you as a developer and provider may not run afoul of the terms directly, but your users will. Section 10 in the Basic Terms forbids accessing Instagrams Private API's. And if that isn't being used and

Some countries, such as Canada, regulate the usage of the term as jordigh mentioned. If you have not passed the rigors of educational requirements and licensure you cannot call yourself that. It is similar to claiming to be an MD in the US.
