I had my timeline off; it was a few years later. In any case it was really sad to hear, back in the dark days of my active Facebook use I was friends with a friend of his, his family was very heart broken and I learned more than I cared to

I used to work as a contractor at a help desk, the company was based on the east coast while the office we were at was back west. We hired a guy that while nice enough was not a good fit; he couldn't do the work. HQ decided that we wou

I'm hoping for two years since that's what the iPhone 5s got with iOS 12 after 13 dropped support for it, but it may just be a matter of policy for them to target 8 years since it was the 8 year mark when the final update for 12 w

Yes, that has been established. I wasn't suggesting otherwise; to the contrary I think they deserved it. They made major changes to the performance characteristics of these devices without disclosing what they were doing or why. Honest

To be clear it's not that they 'downgraded' battery life, it's that it throttled power draw (and by extension performance) if the phone determined that the battery could no longer reliably power the device at peak draw.

The only thing I could imagine Apple doing with regards to seeing Linux running on their mobile hardware is further engineer ways to prevent it. I'm personally hoping Apple A5 devices are able to run Linux too as my iPad 2 is 11 years

You're missing something; I have a first gen SE that's got no SIM and it has email based iMessage setup and working. It's for my son to FaceTime with family.

I loved my Time. Always on screen, awesome 8 bit color watch face, wonderful battery life.. I was pretty disappointed when fitbit decided to void all the warranties however, mine failed before the one year mark but after fitbit purchased th

I think LGR did a pretty good video on this; it boiled down to what hardware you had and if there were good drivers available for it. Most hardware configurations did not and contributed to the well deserved reputation.

Sad as it is Google's got me.. I got a premium trial at some point and couldn't go back after it expired. For years I never cared because I only watched YouTube on my desktop with a adblocker, but now it's mostly on mobile or

It's worth noting that Zandronum is based on a now very old version of GZDoom. If you're playing single player then GZDoom is the better choice.

Auto subtitle downloads? Come now if you are only watching rips of your own legally purchased media the subs would be available to you already… unless you aren’t. Seriously though you are asking a lot here.

So what's the lesson here? Never report a critical security problem and hope a nefarious person or group doesn't find it later? I realize this guy is just at it for political reasons.. but I don't think it can be overstated h

It's possible, and when actively in the market I'll always revisit such things.

Here's a different take to that: If I refuse to use Windows as my OS on my Dell Inspiron 7559 I have to live with like 2 hours of battery life and a hot lap because power management doesn't work properly. So much as watching a You

Wow, that would be amazing. I haven't tried OpenMW in a year or more but I was really impressed with what they had managed, it was the first time I had ever played MW with a decent frame rate.. that original engine seemed to run poorly

I feel you. I haven't paid heed to a single recommendation Spotify has ever given me; Most of the bands I've discovered in the last several years were by way of Reddit or word of mouth.

My wife is a big reader and used to be pretty deep into the Barnes and Noble Nook ecosystem, but we found the Nook hardware to be pretty lacking.. loading a book onto a GlowLight was not a good experience, and that's from their shop di

I know for a fact my wife is going to get the bug to buy a motorcycle someday.. grew up around them, got scared away after her dad's accident.. but he got back up on the saddle, so I imagine it's only a matter of time. I'm no

Apple's behavior here doesn't surprise me.. there's a history of this kind of thing.. what would surprise me however is if the developer didn't see this coming after Apple made purchase offers.. were the offers insulting

It's also something that makes me appreciate how Capcom approached the Resident Evil 2 remake. They invited the devs up to their studio to show them the official remake and then asked them to cease developing theirs. No drama or bad bl

Reader mode on Firefox for iPad OS is wonderful, gets rid of everything but the text I want and it feels like reading an eBook.

This is horrifying. I'm not opposed to using prison labor to get work done, but these are still people and they deserve to be treated as such. I bet these people running this camp think they're going to heaven because of all the J

It's almost like they thought irc was dying too slowly or something.
