Yea, easy to sharpen steels are like AUS-8 and 8CR and other cheap Chinese steels. Kershaw's lower end line are often full of really cheap Chinese steels. Same with CRKT. I've taken a "buy good knives" stance. My favorit

Most Kershaw knives are pretty cheap. The company that owns Kershaw also owns Zero Tolerance, which is a higher end brand. They use steels like S35VN and 20CV, which are fairly high end steels. 20CV is roughly equivalent to M390. Not many s

Software is made by people and people are not perfect. The bigger the project the more moving pieces there are and the more likelihood of flaws. My experience in bug bounty programs has taught me that if you do start a bug bounty program yo

I have a PS5 pre-ordered and since it's backwards compatible with PS4 games I am hoping I can just put the PS4 Pro in a box and call it good. I may end up moving it to the basement on another tv at some point, but I think a bulk of my

Yea, I have a couple PS4s. A launch day model and a PS4 Pro. Both sound like harrier jets taking off when they're under load. I don't think it's uncommon and something I've heard others mention a well. I'm just look

That sucks. I still have my original "Phat" PS3 (though not a launch one, it doesn't do PS2 backwards compatibility) and it works well.

My guess is that they're over engineering the cooling because PS4's have terrible fan noise when under heavy load. It's not uncommon for my PS4 Pro to ramp up the fans to the point I get distracted by it over the audio from a

Given Todd's history on, well, anything the past decade... why would anyone believe literally a word out of his mouth? As a Playstation gamer, anything Todd Howard related can stay on Xbox for all I care. What I will potentially miss a

I wouldn't say it's not a big deal. It could very well be a big deal to them. Is it the end of the world? No, I don't think so, but it is very clearly causing a lot of developers pains today, you should at the very least ackn

Several downsides Say the iOS update has brand new features. Your app can't take advantage of those fancy new features and your users don't get them until next week either. Possible marketing, usually Apple has categories in the A

That's sort of the opposite of my experience. There are obvious cons, like (previously) having to learn a new language, Objective-C, which has it's quirks. Documentation may not be very good in some instances. Tooling (Xcode/

I wouldn't say all of those are a waste. Notably the first. You fixed a bug, you contributed, you did your part but it was ignored. Did you learn anything from that? Beyond "Open Source is a waste of time" I guess? It's

Oh for sure, I think Winamp just had staying power, and the various skins and visual plugins were awesome. I totally miss that time period, it was just a great time to be into technology.

Not sure if you remember Sonique. It was, I think, the first app (or at least MP3 player) that had non-rectangular shapes for it's skins: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonique_(media_player)

Of course, but in the case that the app is not actually "attacking" you, and is instead just poorly written and/or poorly thought out you're reducing your risk. A lot of time you can attribute compromises to ignorance ra
