I don't have a TV, so if I watch Netflix it's in a browser. Most people don't realize this but you can only watch Netflix in 4K in a browser if you're using Microsoft Edge on Windows or Safari in macOS 11. In fact, you c

For zip files in particular, you can just right click and 'Extract all' in modern versions of Windows. I believe you can also double-click to open them like folders in Explorer. 7-Zip covers the majority of other formats you'

I know the blog post refers to "Oculus devices" and does not in any way imply that the account is required only for the Quest. I agree that the Quest is not the same as their other headsets. I disagree that any of these should req

A better question: why does a VR headset require an account at all? Should my monitor require an account? Should my keyboard? It's a peripheral, not a platform.

I think they also totally own the console space, don't they? The next-gen consoles from both Sony and Microsoft are based on custom AMD cpu/gpu combos.

I'm not an economist or finance person, so I don't know why we really ended up where we are. I think a lot of people in this thread, and most of the non-investment-wealthy people in the US, would say it's because of lobbying

First: I think the tax situation with capital gains is not fair or warranted, and that we should tax long-term capital gains like regular income instead of having a separate 15% rate for it. That said, your assertion is not true. 15% is hig

I read it the opposite way. It looked like a comment celebrating the conservatives' loss more than one celebrating the progress made today. The edit confirmed it. A lot people here - regardless of political orientation - don't app

In this case, the better analogy would be beating the house by exploiting a flaw in slot machines that you knew about because you used to work for the manufacturer.

I started using this a few months ago to solve the very important problem of my git-status-decorated bash prompt taking too long to display on macOS. I'm very happy with the result, but there are a couple of situations where it seems t

I introduced a submodule at my last job to hold common build code used across multiple repositories. I knew going in that some of our developers didn't really understand git, and were not interested in rectifying that. I won't say

I won't say it was silly to ever make Chocolatey, but it was living on borrowed time from day one. What's interesting to me about this announcement is that it seems to replace something they already had; Microsoft released OneGet

I didn't downvote you, but I will tell you what I think: probably because the comment is seen as irrelevant to the discussion, and also because people who don't care about human treatment of animals don't want to see comments

Crying over revenue is what this lawsuit is really about, though, even if patent infringement is the cudgel. I don't really understand how Broadcom believes they can get anything out of this. Look at the cited patents: several of these

I'd say I am. It's a constant fight - use the tool that I know and move on, even if it requires some gymnastics to get it working, vs. evaluate something new that might or might not cover all the necessary use cases, and might or

I think my original reply was a little brusque. Really this is a fine scheme, but I do think it's limited in where it can realistically be used - IMO, small self-contained SaaS products only - and I do think that the hash should be cal
