I thought so too, so I brought my 1989 Model M and asked everyone around me if they were okay with it, and that the first complaint I heard about it I would get rid of it. Slowly after that, people started bringing in all kinds of mechanica

Ironically, many games I install on Steam run better in Linux under Proton than Windows 10 (especially from the 98/XP era)

My enlarged prostate doesn't pose a risk to my co-workers--my immunization history does. There's a big difference.

You can choose to be vaccinated (minus the obvious medical exceptions), you can't choose your minority status.

Their company, their choice. As an employee, I would very much enjoy the freedom _from_ COVID-19.

I have many issues with Tesla and Elon Musk as companies, and they are no saints. But I cannot deny the impact that their cars have had on the industry. An electric-car startup has nothing to lose from shifting from ICE vehicles--every othe

I'll be honest, I didn't notice many differences between Windows 7 and Windows Vista SP1. I agree Windows Vista was absolutely terrible when it came out, but so was XP. And so was 98. And 95.

I have a group of friends that I play Xonotic[1] with occasionally. Free-software, easy to get started, cross-platform. It scratches the UT/ Quake3 itch without having to deal with CD-keys and backwards compatibility with friends. [1]

Both Stadia and xCloud. Any sort of ultra-low-latency / UDP-based protocols suffer with my kind of internet (Monkeybrains ISP in the Bay Area) because of jitter / packet loss.

I have high-speed node-to-node wireless internet in the Bay Area (~700mbps symmetrical) and cloud gaming is terrible on it, mainly due to jitter and small amounts of packet loss. Assuming the infrastructure over time can support it, I see c

Depends on where they live, but our Asian enterprise customers are >70% on IE11, even with Edge installed on most of their machines. In the US the number has dropped significantly over the past five years (it was >50% but is now under

It's not the computer that's the problem, it's the IT policy. Our Asian enterprise customers use IE11 by a staggering majority, even with Edge installed on their machine .

I work at a large enterprise company for their front-end. We have noticed that US domestic IE11 usage has dropped significantly, but has remained constant in Asia. Unfortunately some of our larger customers require us to support IE11 until

I'm in a similar boat. I grew up Christian and then became a very "online atheist", but since the mid-2000s I've become more worried about the lack of what feels like a real in-person community. My wife is Reform Jewish

When I rented a single family dwelling in the Central Valley in CA, I simply let the weeds / grass mixture take over while using a push-reel mower to keep it as a lawn, then let the lawn die during the summer and fall. Virtually no noi

/r/DonaldTrump wasn't visited by 80 million people. The first amendment doesn't protect speech inciting violence.

It's a matter of degree. The _degree_ of constant lying the current president does is absolutely insane. I don't like what YouTube is doing either, but it's really hard to say what any other alternative is at this point.

The difference with an official linux build vs Stadia using linux is the fact that they (currently) have only one hardware configuration to worry about.

It's amazing what competition can do. When our local ISP (Monkeybrains in the Bay Area) rolled out into our building, the Comcast customer service representatives didn't even bother trying to match what I was getting for the price

In enterprise, if you introduce a bug that causes a business to not function, you must fix it right away because you may receive lost business and possibly a lawsuit. In game development, if you introduce a bug that causes a game to not fun

I followed him on Twitter due to my respect of his earlier journalism work, and I agree completely. I'm not sure he's changed though, and I think that's kind of the problem--all of his tweets stem from holding a grudge the ol

Even if this is true, it's only 1gbps download. Thankfully I have access to Monkeybrains. Our speed is 500mpbs down and up, no data cap, $35 a month. Unfortunately they're not widely available.
