If you’ve got a solid internet connection, streaming services have become pretty viable these days. I just stream GeForce Now to my MacBook, and just the fun novelty of playing Cyberpunk at 4k “on” a little laptop has yet to wear off.

There was a Mac version of CS:GO, so because that game has been replaced by CS2, anybody playing it last month has lost it now.

Like clockwork, women in tech continue to beg for our community to hold a reasonable standard for how half the humans on earth should be treated when they choose to work in this industry. Woohoo RS and thank you for your contributions. But

But no Mac version anymore, apparently. Bummer for the people who were playing Global Offensive on Mac yesterday.

Seems an appropriate time to mention a very different Cold War intelligence heist, when a KGB agent skipped the trailer entirely and simply smashed an AIM-9 through the back window of his Mercedes, marked it with a red flag as required by l

And when I attended scout camp (in Connecticut) our tents were all painted with block letter warnings not to bring a flame anywhere close to them because they were similarly weatherproofed. Always gave me the heebie jeebies in a campsite fu

I just read Skunk Works by Ben Rich, senior employee on the SR-71 project and later director of that whole department, and he viewed a hypersonic airplane as an eternal government boondoggle while leaving the door open that it might become

Even today, you’d be hard pressed to find a digital camera with a sensor resolution equivalent to medium or large format film.

Since cannabis only became illegal in Germany in 1929, during what brief period of time would you describe "The West" as "alive?"

Hm, it seems to work fine for me: https://chat.openai.com/share/f8496236-949f-4f5b-86f2-0eaf31... It was very funny to watch, though, so a worthwhile experiment.

I've really been wondering what the plan is for the construction industry through climate change. A lot of people on job sites around the country are experiencing temperatures unlike anything that was ever normal, day after day after d

As far as I know, the monorail has been prepared to extend to the airport for years, and Fremont St is only a mile and a half away. It already runs through multiple casinos up and down the strip. Vegas has an existing mass transit system an

Per Thirteen Days , for a long stretch of the crisis the US mainland’s nuclear bombers were armed and airborne, constantly, for a potential first strike on Cuba. When the U-2 was shot down Kennedy directly threatened that another attack wo

Also ATT/iPhone. I think Google Voice (my work line) routes through a different network and I do think I get more spam calls there.

Hasn’t changed for me. I am constantly pestered by spoofed-local-number spam calls at both my personal number and my work number, in two different area codes. My job requires me to be available on the phone so it’s particularly frustrating

I am not misunderstanding the screenshot I shared. When I took that screenshot the driver had already visited the restaurant and picked up my order, and then gotten off the highway a couple stops early for this delivery. Hence why I had reo

I live in an area of Bayview where the only restaurants open after 5pm are a 30m walk across a risky pedestrian intersection. There’s something to be said for the cost of rent vs these other addon expenses with living in such an area I’m su

From what I can tell, this kind of gaslighting mistreatment has become common in this market. The delivery app race to the bottom has nearly brought us to that final destination. We've used the "Caviar" delivery app since mov

My "narrative?" Holy cow, I have no idea what your problem is. Your reaction is unreasonable and I have to assume doesn't actually have much to do with what I posted. You are quite apparently reading an attitude into my post

Per the placard over the Tron pinball machine at the Pacific Pinball Museum, the licensed arcade games made more money than the original Tron movie! These cabinets are so rare, I have to wonder how it wound up on the curb. I'd imagine

Golly, that is a lot of hostility. I know how movies work, and just thought you and other readers may be interested in reading the non-dramatized retelling, having read it for the first time myself earlier in the day. FWIW, I didn’t think i

The F-117 nighthawk flew for years, all over the world, before there were any photos or videos. The RQ-180 has been flying for years, all over the world, and has only been photographed twice, poorly, from far away.[0] Not to say an unidenti
