Read up on the reporting from Radley Balko, for Cato Institute, Reason, and the Washington Post more recently. His work on kicking down every possible justification for no-knock warrants and militarized civilian police forces is the best ou

I have this in hardcover; it’s tiny, but eminently useful and a conversation piece on my desk at work.

It has an extremely active indie development community, still. They’re mostly huddled at AtariAge.

In most SPAs, however, URLs aren't used like conventional URLs; they're treated as routes. I think that's more the point here. They aren't conventionally "shareable", first off, which violates more or less the

The NYPA seems to have more HIPAA-like teeth to it. https://www.adweek.com/digital/new-yorks-privacy-bill-failed...

I'd like to think the National Videogaming Museum in TX would have put up an offer if they felt the seller was willing to work in good faith, but based on some comments I've seen from some of the Directors on Facebook about their

I’ve held, examined, and played this prototype at a couple of conventions while talking to the seller a bit. He’s an interesting and controversial fellow.

Wisconsin has become one giant series of roundabouts across the state over the past decade; they’re everywhere after new construction and being retrofitted whenever the opportunity arises. Sometimes 2 and 3 roundabouts connected at times.

Well, they're certainly feeling empowered against not only Clearview AI, but IBM as well: https://www.biometricupdate.com/202001/biometric-privacy-sui...

Your move, Clearview AI. They’ve been sued in IL as well under the same auspices, and Clearview’s defense that they aren’t a private entity because they "only" do business with public entities (e.g., law enforcement) is definitely

TCM, I assume, means Traditional Chinese Medicine.

When you think “Yahoo” today, you need to think “Oath” and “Verizon”. The Yahoo of yesterday certainly isn’t the same as today. Which is sad, because the old Yahoo would have probably been much more sympathetic.

It feels telling that Firefox puts their Enhanced Tracking Protection settings pretty close to upfront as possible, and Chrome’s “Block Third Party Cookie” setting is for all intents and purposes to a non-technical user, both buried and off

I use Focus for ephemeral browsing (about 70-80% of what I do), and Firefox Mobile proper on iOS for anything I need to hold history or state within. Hope more people recognize the value of Focus for that reason alone. Perfect mobile duo fo

I put in "AAPL stock" and got Apple's ticker. I put in "CGC stock" and got Canopy Growth's. "GOOG stock", got Google's ticker. The actual queries I entered were not wrapped in quotes. So for some

In the bug thread, multiple orgs stated they tried to downgrade to the last version and encountered the exact same problem. This alone is going to leave orgs circumspect about their security and Chrome’s reliability, at the very least.

Making experiments opt-in seems like a good first step, no? As it is, there wasn’t even a clear opt-OUT.

Pretty much the default position for everyday shared hosting environments, unless a static IP is explicitly requested by a customer.

Sony’s already gunning for Stadia ahead of time by lowering the cost of the PlayStation Now streaming service, and last I checked, PS Now already wasn’t all too popular in its own right for many of the same reasons the Stadia is close to DO

Actually, my Creative Director and I have noticed some Google Fonts have changed over time, producing significant enough (read: negative) changes to the UI of clients’ experiences we have out there that we decided to start downloading and s

Pretty much; very few homebrew groups out there have been able to do much with the hardware except to complete previously unreleased games. However, there’re a lot of Atari ST ports coming from AtariAge, and a good half-dozen homebrew title

Retrofitting an LCD screen into one makes it a lot better visually and easier on the battery life. Easy to tear down and repair, to boot.

There’s a Lynx SD flash cart out there by RetroHQ that would allow for it; he’s a one man wrecking crew though with a bunch of other flash carts on the market so inventory’s hard to get. But yeah, it’s an option.

Retro gamer/collector here that’s been in and out of the Jaguar scene since the ‘93 launch, and I can say this with the utmost respect: Atari systems don’t die, they just go into the public domain where they tend to live forever on an
