Paypal is good as a consumer. You can buy stuff without giving random sites your card details, and paypal is willing to refund purchases if you have a legitimate issue and the seller refuses to cooperate with you. My wife placed a large clo

It pulls news headlines via RSS feed, so the developer didn't intentionally put that headline in the game.

Generally yes, although some cheats like aim assistance would work fine on online streamed games, since they can scan your screen and adjust your mouse input to aim. To be fair kernel anticheat can't block this completely either, it ca

I also always hear a lot of people complain about cheaters in Valorant, so all of that compromised personal security doesn't actually stop cheaters. Honestly I feel like you should only use kernel anticheat on a dedicated machine that&

The author cites fear mongering over kernel anticheat, but I don't think anyone reasonable should be ok with their personal computer having kernel anticheat installed. Genshin's anticheat was used to install ransomware, ESEA'

I remember when the first iPad was in development, there was a lot of speculation about how Apple would solve the "large touchscreen keyboard" problem. Typing on a large touchscreen was hard, just blowing up a iphone keyboard woul

O3 has had some major price cuts since Gemini 2.5 Pro came out. At the time, o3 cost $10/Mtok in and $40/Mtok out. The big deal with Gemini 2.5 Pro was it had comparable quality to o3 at a fraction of the cost. I'm not sure w

I read recently that Meta was trying to hire employees from OpenAI/Google/Anthropic for higher pay, and that they found that OpenAI employees were the most willing to jump ship. It's possible OpenAI is having an employee rete

Brave has built in fingerprinting protection ( https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/wiki/Fingerprinting-P... ), that's enabled by default. It seems like it's less aggressive than firefox's thou

I think that's mostly there to give people confidence that they'll have real, quality software available. A concern for new linux users is that they'll be missing software they need, that statement expresses that there will b

Commented this above, but I've had freinds and family ask about alternatives to windows lately because of privacy concerns or just being unhappy with it. I've been sending them the link to the ZorinOS page, and it's been popu

My father has gotten distrustful of windows, and wanted an alternative. I sent him a link to the Zorin home page, and it convinced him to try it out on a new laptop they were buying (I installed it for them). They've been quite happy w

Yeah I felt like that part was misleading, and undercut how cool of an accomplishment this actually was. I would also be quicker to accept it if they stated really clearly at the beginning that it actually only plays a song, but it instead
