Nintendo's been a bully for years, so their response doesn't surprise me at all. But I am disappointed in Valve and their handling of things.

I'm with the grandparent here, but want to chime in that backups are also important. If all my files got encrypted, I'd only be out a couple of days time.

I run my own instance of RSS Bridge to keep track of authors that I like on Goodreads. It works pretty well, although every once in a while Goodreads hiccups, and then RSS bridge gives me a bunch of "new posts" that are actually e

I believe they had to change the landing site for some reason, and the simulations they ran were for the initial landing site, where a 3KM crater would not have been encountered.

Agree with you there. I'd be much happier if my Raspberry Pis, cheap USB-C hubs, cheap monitors, etc. all had DP instead of HDMI. It's extra annoying when you realize that you're paying more for royalties and sometimes additi

I'm annoyed nvidia for putting the current generation of HDMI on their recent GPUs, but leaving them with an outdated version of DisplayPort. For a long time, my advice to anyone was to always choose DisplayPort whenever it was an opti

That sounds to me like the hospital screwed up and is asking for charity. If the probate window is closed before they sent the bill (check the postmark date), then I don't think you owe them anything.

You can do this, even as a living person. I once got a $10k bill reduced to $700. (It took a lot of back-and-forth, but it was worth it.)

Yeah, absolutely. In the Wells Fargo case, thousands of dollars were on the line, so it was absolutely worth the couple hundred dollars for the lawyer. But if I had been disputing a $50 overdraft fee or something like that, I'm not sur
