I think calling the hardware generations out of date when it performs on par with a PS5 on new games is a bit inaccurate. I would, admittedly, be interested in an anticheat that reboots the machine for deck into a secure mode.

I don't think there's much chance Sony or Nintendo would have blocked the publishing of a Java version of Minecraft, if that had been on offer in place of Bedrock. The rules are always flexible for huge games, especially when they

It's scalable, personalizable social engineering. I think that makes it a lot more dangerous.

If this is the video I'm thinking of, both versions are up. I think the toned down version is meant to be more palatable to certain people.

Did I say that? No, I responded to the claim that people were not allocated resources by society.

Facebook marketplace killed craigslist, I guess? Sure, it's part of Facebook but it's not the same as the core product.

What is the stock market if not a way for society to allocate resources?

I think it's less expense-driven and more user-driven. Most forums I frequented in the 2000s were funded by donations. The userbase, though, disappeared. The network effects of facebook and reddit and such are hard to overcome, and wor

As a user and fan of kagi, the problem with kagi is that it reveals how badly degraded the web is. The vast majority of original content is now in one or another social network or on discord. News articles are an exception, though the news

This is a terrible, awful idea. Playing videos on the side of trucks is what I would come up with if I was intentionally trying to cause accidents. Even if they only play when stationary, it's a terrible idea.

Meanwhile in the U.S., 'tested, working' seems to mean "I plugged it in and the power light came on", unless there's evidence of more comprehensive testing.

Aren't steam account suspensions pretty much limited to criminal activity? Any other kind of restriction doesn't prevent you from playing the games you have licenses for.

Stores already uniquely identify customers with membership cards/accounts. They're also doing their damndest to link those more closely - see how Kroger is shifting from the Kroger card to digital coupons that require you to sign

I need to try this. Typically I make my mapo tofu with dry-fried mushrooms and mushroom stock (I've found this much tastier than a pork or beef-based mapo tofu), but I don't always have the mushroom preparation on hand and punchin

I'm having the same problem, except it's crashing my dang PC. Actually, it's only crashing the GPU, but that's pretty indistinguishable from the whole PC crashing in practice. Now I'm wondering if I should ground my

It's pretty crazy that a 6900XT/6950XT aren't supported.

Do we even control the bill? You could buy a annual-sub-paid-monthly, be unable to cancel it because you're locked out of your account, and then get taken to collections when you terminate it on the payment side.

You say locking oneself out, but I decline to consider any situation where a password can be set but not later entered as one where the user bears even a modicum of fault.

I'm glad you called out the Dragon. Besides being an impressive piece of engineering, it's a beautiful piece of art. One of the most striking pieces of consumer electronics I've ever seen.

This feels like the physical equivalent of email validation, though it's harder to properly validate. Similar to email validation, I've definitely seen people get bit (or, well, their customers getting bit) by people making untrue

How about one where the first click sets your volume to max, and then pops up a dialogue to subscribe to a newsletter or sign up for an account? I've never seen such an atrocity, but I could see one plausibly being developed.

This is pretty obviously one more step in an effort to make sure that all coverage of U.S. military actions is positive and under the control of the administration. It's also part of a more recent push to make sure that Iran war covera

That's only going to apply to children, since there's only one age group for adults. There are definitely ways to solve that, too. It's not perfect, but I much prefer it to laws that force websites to ask for ID, or laws that

Wear over-the-ear headphones and use ear cushions or cushion covers that are made of fabric.

My immediate idea was to cover contact surfaces. My first thought of what to cover them with was more plastic... I guess the proper thing to do would be to use big over-the-ear headphones and cover the cushions with fabric.

It's not OS age verification. You put in an age. It does not check whether it's real. It does not ask for an ID. That will get provided to app stores and probably browsers. It should be possible to spoof, too. The primary use case

They have plenty of power over what website operators and ISPs do, and I rather like the internet.
