It's the actual flash creation software, not flash players or flash games for anyone curious. They seem to just work on Windows 10 without needing to look up workarounds, but they crash often in my experience.

A lot of companies deem the knowledge obsolete. There's no real reason to read 35 year old, 500-page hardware documentation books, or ancient assembly code from 25 year old tapes and floppies... if they even still exist! Much cheaper a

Plenty of jailbreak developers have been poached by Apple. Whether they're still at their A-game still is questionable, I follow one on Twitter and there's regular tweets about depression, suicide, debt and other gloomy topics.

Question from someone who has zero knowledge about managing infrastructure: is all of that absolutely necessary? Only one is marked "we can afford to lose", but $228/mo for a monitoring server seems extremely excessive. Even

That's basically the support Google provides for consumer service subscribers. "24/7 support" isn't really useful when all they can do is refer you to their help portal and come up with titles when you ask to talk t

Everything is psychological warfare designed to make people consume as much as possible, beyond advertising. Even something simlpe such as a sale (FOMO), or pricing (99 cents).

A lot of it seems like typical internet forum common sense, no spam, no extreme content (gore/porn), that sort of stuff. But the rest just reads off as "don't post stuff we don't like such as pepe frogs, alt right symbol

I believe most popular libraries and middleware (like Havok) aren't freely available/leaked, OR at the very least it's some ancient version with massive API differences compared to newer versions. Around the time of the Pokem

It's unfortunate that when a company DOES chose to release old software, the entire revision history is thrown out due to processes like that. In the software world, this probably doesn't matter too much, but video games can go th

I think a modded PS4 fits the shoe quite well, if you ignore the need to run a web browser exploit each time you want to boot Linux (like a "semi-untethered jailbreak" for the iOS nerds)

They've already gotten rid of the .compact frontend and actively removed workarounds/aliases that users discovered when it was first removed. Old reddit is definitely next up on the chopping block.
