The primary issue with state power is human rights. If you don't guarantee certain rights, some other state will gladly exploit its citizens. The neverending struggle of course is what does one consider a human right.

I seem to be the only one here that didn't have a good experience with TiVo. My parents cut the cord in 2013 and got a Roamio with a couple of the smaller streaming boxes. It was fairly easy to set up, but the UI was slow and not being

It will _never_ get to that point unless they port the original codebase to WASM or something. Or another product comes around that's so market upsetting that it takes the crown. The same can be said for Adobe products.

The fragmentation is a huge reason the desktop experience is broken. The only UI that's actually consistent across all distros and works pretty damn well is the TUI.

In the Blazor space we use factories/managers to spawn new instances of a modal/tooltip instead of having something idle waiting for activation. The tradeoff is for more complicated components, first renders can be slower.

For some behind the scenes on Microsoft's QA and Dev I recommend people read "Showstopper!: The Breakneck Race to Create Windows NT and the Next Generation at Microsoft". These days it's almost an ancient text, but it hi

I have been a .NET dev for the past 8 years and have switched fully to Rider. The only thing I miss from VS is the quick nav to see all the properties and methods in a file on the top bar. Everything else is vastly better: - Auto complete i

I was too young to get in on the early (and tbh me exciting) age of MMOs, only opting for RuneScape because it had a free tier. I just finished Jason Schreier's book that covered 38 Studio's implosion and then his next book that c

Let's be real for a second, we're in an era where people are less likely to buy a new computer. Part of it is due to the performance plateau of new hardware, part of it is people just don't use PCs as much. This is the same d

Yeah after posting this comment I ended up discussing it with my SO. I don't think this product is a bad idea by any means, it just seems to learn way too much into hyperbole for something that is essentially an American Girl doll with

Is a lack of programmable dolls really the things that's keeping women out of the tech sector? I don't see how this will "fix the gender gap". I have a friend with daughters that hosts a LEGO league team and it sounds li

Look at all of those 486s running Windows 10! Windows 11 is pure hell spawn. /s Is the cutoff for 11 a bit arbitrary? Sure, but it's not unprecedented by any means. The machines that are supposedly turning to ewaste stopped receiv

What is the X in this scenario? What do you need to configure that's not available in settings? I absolutely do not doubt there's _something_, but I bet it's not an every-day sort of thing, and I'm absolutely sure it&#x2

At least for the static addressing, it has been in the same location for I think every Windows based on NT up until Settings came a long.

Most FPS's of the era had that sort of map. Return to Castle Wolfenstein had Kung Fu Grip, which I played many, many hours of. The map was built by a clan member and we used to have map test nights.

GoG makes games available for purchase, but on multiple occasions they've sold games where functionality has been stripped out, or they sell something that straight up doesn't work.
