Very strange timing on what is unfortunately a horribly inaccurate title based on my personal experience. I tried swapping to DuckDuckGo yesterday on my iPhone as the primary search tool and reverted unfortunately back to Google after only

No, as reviews often mention specific details of the location - even if those details are mostly positive.

That’s very unfortunate. Recycling old devices was the first thing I thought of with this. The environmental impact of that alone would be more than enough reason to make that a priority.

Well, they weren’t homeless; why would they? I was under the impression law enforcement mostly existed to oppress the lower class, but maybe that’s just my personal experience.

In a period of homelessness over a summer, I lived in a makeshift village created by a friend and I in the Don Valley forest here in Toronto. You’d be shocked how regularly this kind of thing happens.

But I am a millennial who literally uses Snap for this very purpose and pretty much only this purpose - like most of the people I know who use it. Otherwise, it’s WhatsApp.

Well, since Snapchat is a glorified nude-sharing app, it makes sense for the use case.

>> They also typically lose around $1 billion per quarter. What?! How on earth do you burn through $1B a quarter on a ride sharing app?

Yet the best actors and musicians make far more in the long term, from the support of millions of people who evidently don’t think the way you do.

I don’t get the concept of buying a console or using a service that streams the games, meaning I cannot play them offline (I play games mostly in Transit, buses, subways, etc that don’t have wifi) - and meaning I ultimately don’t own the ga

It was actually the same with Gmail as it was with Search. Gmail was just a much better service than Hotmail or Yahoo! mail, arguably their biggest competitors at the time. They also offered a ridiculous amount more space. I think those two

Wow. This is an absurdly valid point, that would’ve been the way to go. It’s true that at this moment - I don’t even know what, other than the streaming side, Stadia is even based on. Edit: Apparently it’s Debian and Vulkan? Because that’s

Second recommendation to avoid BlueStacks and use NOX. Beyond the adware, BlueStacks is bloated, slow, and unstable.

Couldn’t agree more. I’m definitely never as impressed by AAA titles as I am with clever use of design in indie titles.

Glad you’ve never been through the depths of depression, trauma or accidents that would allow you to understand how difficult it is to hold your life together for. I envy you. Ignorance is absolutely bliss.

Your opening statement alone required the downvote I needed to give you. You have no idea what people have been through. The circumstances that may end them up with a poor credit score have little to do with how responsible or diligent that

This doesn’t make a lot of sense. Songs are copyrighted two ways, performance - the arrangement, composition and lyrical content of the song, and the master - the actual mastered resulting waveform. Samples are copyright infringement on the

Hahaha, I used to work for the parent company of AM and it is largely bullshit. I’d love to do an AMA about it sometime. But, I mean, who would’ve guessed a company based on the idea of having affairs would have shady as fuck business pract

Holy crap, I thought I was the only one in the world still using a PowerBook as a daily driver to keep myself away from the temptations of the Internet...I’m a huge fan of 1999-2005 PowerPC Macs.

I’d say Unity is a free, fairly simple entry-level tool for this kind of thing. Especially in combination with the Asset Store, which has a lot of free assets, and Fuse/Mixamo, you can pull stuff together with very little programming k

For years I’ve (often unsuccessfully) tried to pitch people Metroid Prime, calling it ‘Myst with a gun’, to which my friends responses often include ‘what’s Myst?’. Doesn’t quite capture the platforming awesomeness, though. First good first

Fortunately with the 2015 models, this is still an option. For anything past that - you’re just SOL. At this point, 2015 models are actually going for insane values second-hand; fans understand this may be the last great laptop Apple ever m

Really? With the cost of SD cards what they are? Like, I can get a 128GB SD card for $30. That would be 170 CD’s - nearly 30 DVD’s - which will eventually suffer disc rot. DVD/CD write speeds are very slow, comparatively speaking to ev

It’s an unfortunate and expensive approach that would unnecessary if Apple would only at least step short of soldering the SSD/RAM to the Logic Board. Years ago, we didn’t have this problem. I don’t know I’ll ever be able to buy an App

Super, super easy. Linux-distro-install level easy. Since Catalina randomly decided to destroy access to about 1/3rd of my software (I rely on old-school music plugins that won’t be updated) - I’m gonna link you here to the Mojave tool

ThinkPads make better MacBook Pros than Apple-official products - by far and large. I’ve got a 2017 MacBook Pro and a 2016 Lenovo ThinkPad and the ThinkPad runs circles around it. It’s also literally a hybrid drawing tablet laptop running M
