That's true, but that's not the definition of a "patent troll". Patent trolls very specifically make all of their money with patent lawsuits and settlements. Nikola Motors is a real company making real products, however

I really miss the recording app I had on my Treo. Insanely useful, especially since I miss things in verbal conversations a lot, and it was handy to be able to go back to. I tried jailbreaking my iPhone a couple times specifically for that

"Studios are lagging behind for the very simple reason that they are relying on retreads and reboots, and most of those aren’t being well received." I hear how badly the movie industry is doing, while they keep breaking sales reco

We actually only do 2 interviews total, and for some roles a Hackerrank quiz. The only times we use coding tests, we use Hackerrank to administer them. That way you have a distinct time limit (we give an hour, which is honestly way too long

I doubt it. If it's not called "Wolfenstein", "Doom", "Half-Life", or "Call of Duty", he probably hasn't heard of it.

I know why you think that, but when Fallout 4 came out even my father was interested in it, and he'd never heard of any prior Fallout game, and hadn't really gamed in years. Of course, he also still asks me every year when "t

Yeah, my Rocksmith 2014 doesn't work at all in Windows 10 due to some weird compatibility thing with the cable that Ubisoft refuses to acknowledge. Meanwhile it runs great in Wine, thankfully.

A lot of these ideas assume childless adults. Bringing kids into things makes everything a lot different.

Exactly, I once had one for a couple of months midway between my condo and the house I was moving into, because the house wasn't going to be empty until the day I was moving into it. Before that I had another one to keep things like de

As someone who has been a foster parent and worked with a sort of advocacy group as well, I can tell you it isn't any better on this side.

I actually didn't know this. Why did they have the big alert when turning on the Compliance Exports then?

GDPR was mentioned in the announcement email (though not for this line item).

Ah, I work remotely, so I normally don't worry about that sort of thing.

Previously, you could only see employee DMs if you turned on Compliance Exports, at which point you could download all of them going forward . Now it sounds like everything you've ever written could be downloaded at any time without n
