And in between all that is a sprinkling of truly high quality journalists who are doing none of that crap. As I said elsewhere in this thread, I really hope they'll find a new home somewhere - where the context for their work is not be

I understand that the topic is contentious indeed, but I agree fully. I tried to be balanced in my comment, but even hinting at a certain possible content profile caused some upset it seems. I also see now that they've published severa

There's a rhyme that ends with "go broke"... I have seen a number of rather toxic Vice articles in the past few years, I wonder how profitable that turned out to be? I have a vague memory of them being edgy and interesting, b

The Android version is pure rubbish. My favourite thing is perhaps how they auto convert everything to emoji even on my (S21U) mobile where my keyboard has direct emoji input. I like my text based smileys dammit - please let me keep them! :

Thanks, I'll have a look into that! My biggest beef with Shorts is that it's the equivalent of having the shelves full of lollies and junk food if you're trying to be healthy; it's far better not to have any available if

I subscribe with a Debit Card. Works perfectly fine.

Agreed - YouTube Family, and all child accounts are covered. Some of those ads were truly atrocious for a child to watch, especially - if you're in Australia - those for WorkSafe.

Yep, of all my subscriptions, YTP will be the last to go. The experience truly is a premium one, only marred by the inability to disable YouTube shorts. (I recently made near exactly the same comment in a recent, related story thread - but

Try it on a Samsung! Then it'll say you're already on Samsung .. (I'd like to see that it looks like too.)

Everything is upper case and absolutes these days, so many appear to have lost the capacity for nuance; it's turned into a shouting match for our attention.

They'll only hit you once, and not again when you've stopped moving. So as long as you don't land on top of a tiger snake, you'll be good. :) Source: Have hit plenty of trees MTB riding, and seen snakes, but fortunately

And you'd be mad to put one at the front of your bicycle. In poor conditions, most any car driver would logically think the rider is travelling away from them. (There are quite a few mad people in this world, having said that).

The whole point about the article was the ability to unlock without ever having been online.

I didn't find it misleading at all. In my mind, it implied that there's a solution - albeit not an ideal one.

They are behaving like relentless children. Unfortunately, it's not a bad strategy. Ask most any parent tired at the end of a long week, month or year.

That's awesome, cat level longevity. How would they fare as indoor, backyard dogs taken for twice daily sedate walks though? My personal (probably unpopular) opinion is that a lot of inner city people should not have the dogs they have

I had the exact same reaction as GP. :) So there was something about how the point was hidden, TFA could benefit greatly from including your one line summary. I wondered about if the requirement to not work contributes to an early decline i

There's still too many involving normal sedans, at least in Australia. And modern sedans are sacrificing visibility for aerodynamics / fuel efficiency. So having them being blanket mandatory is the only sane thing. They are still

The Tesla screens' responsiveness and clarity is just amazing, at least on Ryzen.

Start paying attention to driveway deaths involving little children, and you might wish a retrofit mandate of existing cars was already in place.

The latter is me. I'll be watching this closely, for my son.

It boggles my mind that they would turn off the cleanest, most consistent power supply that exists, now. "Focus is renewables, not baseload" - that doesn't even make sense, you still need the latter to heat a country through

Long form YouTube is amazing. I just wish I could completely disable Shorts from my YouTube Premium. It is the diet equivalent of eating raw sugar with honey on top - it just wants to suck you in with stuff you had no intention of watching.

Last BIOS and core chipset for my Type 34xx class X1 Carbon was September 2019, but they are still providing critical updates with eg both power and battery drivers + device diagnostics as recent as 5 days ago. This is through Lenovo Vant

Some times you just have to try. This was way bigger than anything that's gone before. I'm sure they'll have plenty of data now to make the launch pad even better than it would otherwise have been. Videos of the debris storm

Still getting updates for my OG Gen 1 Lenovo X1 Carbon from 2012... i7/8/256 config. It still works too, solid as.

Alcohol has to be far, far worse for society than cannabis. But, lots of people and countries get very rich making the former - not so much the latter. No effing way alcohol would have been approved for sale now if we'd only just disco

That's like reading headlines about TESLA RECALLS every time they do an OTA update that fixes a minor compliance issue.
