One of the things that piss me off is that sometimes even forks are not accepted. For example Formula 1 TV doesn't work on my SmartTV or on some of my browsers despite them being forks of Chrome, where it works just fine. Not only that

I think he is referring to the massive fallout after Brendan Eich (one of the founders of Mozilla and now founder of Brave) donated some money to a socially conservative political campaign (I forgot what one). Brendan "quit" Mozi

The only reaction I saw from Russia so far is keep pointing out whenever they spot a Nazi on Ukranian videos. To be honest this feels kinda effective, since Ukranians are not bothering in hiding the Nazi at all (most recent example: Zelensk

Also I doubt the charts include the most popular way of buying a console in Brazil: Buying one from USA. Sometimes even flying to USA, buying the console and flying back is cheaper than buying local. And during the PS2 era, everyone I knew

I am from Brazil. As an outsider, what it looks like to me is that USA needs some kind of law to severely restrict people from circulating freenly between these environments. A huge amount of people in the media are ex-intelligence or ex-la

If someone actually makes PS5 accept pirated games, I expect a boom to PS5 sales. I believe a good reason why the PS2 was so dominant was because of how widespread PS2 piracy was.

I actually do that myself. I also use Fireworks 8 on windows when possible. I am yet to find a software that actually replaces it.

I am complete layman here. Still from what I read the whole point of stellarator is to be same as tokamak except you use CAD to make it twist in the same way plasma naturally would twist, to make it easier to keep the plasma in the path you

I had a situation where some stuff isn't done in the public channel out of politeness. For example: While working with text written by non-native speaker, had to explain often to some members of the team t hat the text was just awful a

I stumbled into this bug in a rather spetacular manner. I was making a game using D3D, Lua and Chipmunk physics, and some of the behaviour of the game was being odd. So I started to try printing random stuff with Lua, eventually I just trie

Tolkien actually fought in the World War and was trying to make a anti-war and anti-industrialization message. For example he portrays Melkor (the ultimate evil in his lore) as the Maia (think Catholic saint) responsible for Industrializati

Crop-based corporations and Animal-based corporations tend to NOT be on same side. This is ancient as the bible (the first murder, when the crop farmer murdered the animal farmer). For example, one thing we now know, is that Coca-Cola (a cr

This issue still exists, on the comments section of Anno 2070 official site post announcing the update for the servers, people are complaining of this issue still.

I wonder if the updated Anno 2070 will remove their silly online restriction. I am still waiting that to play that game. For those that don't know, in Anno 2070 there are some single-player features that can't be used unless you

My family have a lot of computers for various reasons. One of them is a HP laptop from 2003 or so, running Windows XP and Ubuntu. It still works just fine, and often is lifesaver when more recent laptops just break for no reason. That thing

The main reason for their death in my opinion, is the DRM-driven (although MS claim it wasn't because of DRM) changes to Windows drivers rules. When DVDs and HDMI were becoming popular, and Windows Vista was launched, a lot of restrict

Indeed there is some weirdness in this article. For example, it claims Brazillians are going to Portugal in large numbers because Bolsonaro... Except, Brazillians are going to Portugal in large numbers, because the Portuguese government inv

Kinda yes. To start, why Taiwan exists? Its roots are related to how China became a republic in first place, when the Emperor was booted from power, China quickly became the land of warlordism, with generals treating their subordinates as p

Although I am strongly suspicious of Amazon... I can hope this means an improvement, maybe EA will finally allow some older games to be open sourced or fixed. Been trying to convince EA for years to do something about SimCity 4.

This applies even to games. Although it is normal now for games have early access releases, it is becoming common for rushed 1.0 releases and then patching coming later... coupled with a ton of negative reviews, backlash and lost sales. I w

Problem is they charge through the nose for these. I looked into it, the price was just ridiculous and unrealistic.
