The trip to the end of the driveway isn't very adventurous. You can't legally drive any farther with this deathtrap.

That car would be illegal to operate on public roads in the EU. You can't pass the annual inspection without working brakes. The inspector will also ask you to wait outside while he checks the brakes, suspension and other stuff under t

Art generators are open source and right now there are multiple ongoing court cases attempting to kill them.

Unfortunately - that's the only way to force some drivers to get their car brakes fixed.

Wire-tapping didn't happen automatically. A judge had to authorise it during an active criminal investigation. Client side scanning would be equivalent to wire-tapping everyone at all times. This was something even totalitarian regimes

What if an engineer designs a lock and someone picks it? What if an engineer designs a bridge that someone later destroys by finding a weak point and placing explosives there?

Interesting that Sweden sees modern Russia as a bigger threat than the USSR. Whatever there was before is not enough now and they want a full NATO membership instead.

That 60lb ebike is useless in winter and during bad weather. Public transport doesn't go everywhere.

So if the USSR were to attack Sweden then what would the USA do exactly?

Consoles usually get working emulators well after their generation ends. Recent Nintendo consoles are an exception to that rule due to their low power compared to their competitors. When Halo 2 was released - it was too early for a working

Yup - if we didn't accept Finland and Sweden into NATO then their only option to prevent a Russian invasion would be to develop nukes and aim them at St. Petersburg.

Unlike the PS3 remaster - the PS4 remake is built on a completely different engine and doesn't share any assets (except maybe some audio) with the original.

OG Xbox took so long, because most of its exclusives were also available on PC. Halo 1 & 2, for example. So there wasn't much interest. Developers focused on more interesting systems like the PS2 and the GameCube at the time.

Yeah, but without a proper exit plan - you're only delaying the inevitable. He has spent 7 years in the embassy and 4 years in an UK prison - and his trial hasn't even started yet. 11 years and counting - many murderers don't

They announced a MGS3 remake recently. So they might remake MGS4 as well.

In practice it made multiplatform games to look and run worse. For example - GTA IV ran @ 720p on x360, but only @ 640p on the PS3. Another reason why both the PS and XBox use basically the same hardware under the hood.

He basically imprisoned himself for all of those years. And what's worse - those years won't be subtracted from whatever sentence he's going to get. I don't understand what his long-term plan was.

He got lucky. South America isn't safe for him either. Look what happened to Assange. The Ecuadorian government changed and they kicked him out of the embassy soon after that. He wasted all those years there for nothing.

The architecture is unnecessarily complicated and it turned out to be dead end. Which is why SONY dropped it and now uses x86 like everyone else.

This is the problem with the so-called "multipolar world". There aren't any other democratic poles. So - if you're a dissident or a whistleblower and you're too high-profile - you have nowhwere to go. Snowden has to

Not all songs are released as singles, and it's silly to buy a CD with only one song in it. So people just sailed the high seas.

$2400 is like 25 years of Spotify subscription. I sure as hell can listen to way more that 600 songs during that time. With no ads. Available on any device. And with discovery service included. I don't even listen to most stuff that I

Many soundbars also come with separate subwoofers - that's where the bass is coming from.

I don't want to own most of the music that I listen to. If I wanted to buy all the stuff that's in my spotify "liked songs" playlist - it would cost me thousands of euros. Until relatively recently you could only buy who

Steam Deck's desktop environment is barely usable without connecting it to a dock and using an external keyboard and mouse. You won't use it as a daily driver in handheld mode. The virtual keyboard covers half of the screen, the t

That desktop mode is very inconvenient to use in handheld mode so the vast majority of users use it only to apply fixes to specific games, install emulators and the like and then switch back to the Steam GUI asap.

Valve is already doing this. Their long-term goal is to be independent from Microsoft and Apple.
