It seems like everywhere is pushing financing as an alternative to payment upfront. Even small (<$50 purchases) are being offered financing through services like Klarna. It really feels like it's become an option for almost any purc

There's 3 different versions of Google pay. Not too sure what the situation is where you live, but in the US the "new" Google Pay, which was based on an app for the Indian market, is now the default one with the "old&quo

One feature that I really wish more search engines would have is the ability to blocklist certain domains, particularly ones whose results are never relevant or helpful to the query itself (Pinterest, Quora, etc). It could even be used as a

Installing League via Lutris is not that difficult. It's certainly not as idiot-proof as it needs to be, but the average Linux user should be capable of following the relatively simple instructions provided by communities like /

I'd also like to express my interest in US dedicated servers. I really like the pricing of your EU offering it'd be great to have something a bit closer here besides OVH!

Also anecdotal but I haven't seen a single person who thinks Reddit's new web UI is good and I've seen many people complaining about first party mobile apps.

Why not allow edits on tweets that haven't received any engagement (likes or replies) and have a low enough view count. Or even tweets that haven't been posted for very long. This would allow for edits to fix minor typos at the ve

I'm wondering if these batteries will maintain their capacity over time. I think part of the appeal of traditional battery packs is you can replace them as they wear out and hold less charge. If they do degrade, hopefully a chassis&#x2

Chrome is tangential to the story, but Google calling Microsoft out for trying "to break the way the open web works" is super hypocritical. Its the pot calling the kettle black.

Is this an issue with GPT-3 itself or with how it's aggregating multiple (potentially contradictory) reviews?

I feel like Reddit's moderation system might need an overhaul. Its happened quite a few times where "inactive" mods come back and wreak havoc on an otherwise successful subreddit. I feel like there should be a process to remo

To be fair the web of the early 2000s was full of ads too. I remember a time when people still used Yahoo as their homepage which was basically just a giant ad delivery platform with even more invasive ads than we have today. That's no

DMCA does have legitimate uses, though. If someone was stealing my IP, I'd certainly consider invoking it. It just becomes a problem when big companies with lawyers™ use it to stop someone from doing something legal that they don'
