The fine goes to the vehicle owner not the driver. This is why if you get fined by an automated speed camera or red light camera on a rental car, the rental company pay the fine and charge it back to you - with admin fees. If it's a ph

The comment on randomly opening windows is fair (I don't see what caused it either), but this was a build VM, not a workstation - there is no reason to upgrade the browser. A more pertinent question is why are MS still shipping IE by d

Worth noting that trains with a locomotive up front are quite rare these days (although most common in the US - Amtrak Acela notwithstanding). Most of the rest of the world has gone down the "multiple unit" route, where there are

The enforcing entity here is the central bank they both have accounts with. If a customer of Monzo sends £10 to a customer of RBS, then that money never leaves the central bank, and both records are just updated. But the total amount in the

I tried the XXX Hot Flaming Cheetos a few months back. I like spicy foods, but my bodily functions were impaired for days. Perhaps give them a shot.

That's a sad response. Video game preservation efforts are ongoing for games older than the NES right now, I don't see why that wouldn't be the case in the future for the current generation of consoles.

Do you have a source for where Valve have the rights to remove DRM on third party games? Also, PS Plus games are still DRM'ed, and you only have access as long as your subscription is valid.

It only works as long as the console is signed into the same account as used on the original hard drive.

Steam, one day, will disappear. Not tomorrow, but perhaps 100 years from now. On that day, you will no longer be able to download or even play those games for more than a few days.

While correct, that was not the point made in my comment. For downloaded games, once the service has gone offline, you are at the mercy of the lifespan of the hard drive. If I had a physical disc, I could just buy another when it goes bad.

I can play NES games from 35 years ago despite the fact that Nintendo has ceased manufacturing the console and publishing the games. As soon as Steam decides to shut down (and it will one day, be it tomorrow, or 30 years from now, those gam

To be fair, this is little different to buying a game on the PlayStation Store or Xbox Store. As soon as those go offline, you will no longer be able to download those games. And so you'll be at the mercy of the lifespan of the hard dr

You can only play them offline as long as it can check in to Steam every few days. If (once) Steam is turned off, it will no longer be able to do that.

Not at launch, this is promised for 2020. Until then you will have to buy the game and pay the subscription fee.

I had honestly never heard of Netlify. I thought GitHub Pages was the standard, with S3 static hosting a second (more involved) option. EDIT: Googling suggests Netlify offers a build, deploy, hosting pipeline all-in-one box. Which is substa

I mean, is this really news? We know that Amazon records the clips of what you say to Alexa for the purposes of improving the recognition. Everything after you say "Alexa..." How would they tell whether their models are right or w

I don't necessarilly agree with his decision to build all images by hand as opposed to using those available on Dockerhub, however it's a personal choice and I respect it. Given that he's using docker-compose, I wonder why he

Most of the legal related points you raise above are demonstrably false. Nearly all of Lego's patents have expired across the world, and as of today it is perfectly legal for companies to release competing products that are compatible

I consider that argument irrelevant. I shouldn't have to justify the apps that I want to use to you or my phones manufacturer, just know that there are (or maybe) other apps that I wish to install, that Apple (or you) may not necessari

Again, these are all things that a sideloaded APK on Android could do, without requiring an enterprise certificate, and requiring fewer steps. I consider the phone to be firmly mine when I pay almost $1,000+ for it, and I want to be able to

Yes, and some opinions happen to be plain wrong, and others are similarly entitled to say so. The entitlement to state an opinion does not guarantee its correctness.

In my experience microservice architectures end up very network traffic heavy. By virtue of having N instances, multiple instances can and will request the same data over and over. User A requests page 1 of results for "hello world&quo

That's irrelevant. If the phone carrier wants to lock those phones down, fine, though Apple has typically fought against carrier mods. However the same App Store policies apply to all iPhone owners, regardless of how it was purchased.

I think you're limiting the use to "pirated app stores" yourself. There are other apps on those app stores, ones that Apple wouldn't approve, but are still useful. Taking away the question of whether Apple has the right

I disagree, and almost take exactly the opposite stance. I think it is a great thing, there are many apps on these app stores which are useful that apple would never allow. It is good to have alternative options. I look at the wording of

I'm not trying to suggest it's shady, but it's clearly an employee perk that is not available to society at large. It's another effort by the company to make an "exclusive" community that benefits their employe
