I still think getting into one of these topics in-depth would be more interesting. Like this one: > Nintendo are renowned for their titles and IPs, but their games are far from innovative at times, and their prices are not competitive in

I don't think they're trying to say it's a valid excuse, just that there are reasons to check clipboard content that aren't malicious.

This is why I haven't used LocalStorage or any other browser storage solution for a long time. They seem really cool, but if they will just get wiped by some browsers, then what is the point? As of a couple of years ago, localStorage d

I think that's just the nostalgia talking. Spotify has pretty great radio/recommendations if you even bother to use those features.

This was my thought as well. I'm sure there is demand for this content, but is it a strong enough demand to pay for yet another streaming service?

But they could certainly do a better job. As others in the comments are saying: why does the original creator have no path to reclaim the ad money they lost? And is it really necessary to automate seemingly every step of this process? Seems

This isn't really a problem with Copyright as a legal concept. It's the horrible way that Youtube is detecting and enforcing that allows trolls to exploit it so easily.

Semi-unrelated again: Apple loves to lock you into their ecosystem (need an iPhone to use Apple Watch, etc), but iMessage is incredibly effective and often overlooked. If you use it heavily and want to move away from Apple, your options are

See the parent comment for multiple examples. Combine that with the fact that most of them will not make a significant amount of money. And even if they hit that lottery, it's probably only going to pay out while they're still you

This summarizes my opinion on OF. I'm not sure if it's unethical or predatory, but I'm quite sure that most people posting content there are going to regret it very soon.

Bringing back my old argument, the appeal of the console for many is striking a balance between portability and power. Yeah, there can be performance issues, but you can play Zelda/Witcher/Dark Souls/DOOM/Skyrim/etc

I'm not as disappointed as others seem to be. It never made sense to me that they would upgrade the hardware much. The whole selling point of the console is that it can be handheld, despite having much less graphical power than the com
