For quite a while now, their games have only been made "good" after significant time and effort by the modding community to fix common game-breaking and progress-losing bugs, along…

Nobody wants a dozen different "movie subscriptions" just like nobody wants a dozen different "streaming service" subscriptions. The value of the early movers/original services is …

If you adjust the aspect radio by playing in windowed mode and keeping it full-width while lowering the height, you gain significantly more visibility. I imagine playing on an ultr…

Far more convenient when you consider that Netflix's catalog of reasonably mainstream as-seen-in-theaters movies has been shrinking for years. As the end user I don't care "why" th…

Other responses indicate that the recipient/target has to opt into their location being shown via an SMS, so I fail to understand the outrage assuming the same requirement exists f…

Just because you "can" use a bunch of memory without issues now doesn't mean you "should" not make any attempts to cut resource usage whenever possible.

Fission is expensive to start up primarily due to regulation. Modern designs are extremely safe (fail-safe instead of fail-unsafe) and produce little in the way of dangerous waste.…

I believe the LTSB Enterprise edition physically does not contain the "windows app store", cortana, and all the other garbage that gets in the way of a normally functioning compute…

They can claim something is illegal all they want, but that has no impact whatsoever on the actual legality of it. Anti-consumer EULA/TOS items haven't held up in court for a while…

Because they have been bought and paid for by the existing ISP monopolies, who stand to gain enormously from the loss of net neutrality, at little to no extra effort on their part.…

> There are great commercial ISPs too. Sure, if you're lucky enough to live in an area with "actual" competition, which is the crux of the entire issue. The vast, vast majority of …

> Even the fastest computer and the highest-end Internet access can't get you such a huge advantage in performance that it can make the web feel snappy again. Until you install an …

Still can't actually opt out of forced updates (non-critical security at least)? Still can't actually kill the extremely invasive telemetry? Still can't get LTSB/equivalent as an i…

These "legacy ISPs" have, since they first got started and became entrenched, purchased enough legislation to make it effectively impossible for any real competition to take root. …

Cue massive drops in traffic (again) and news orgs whining about it (again) and blaming the next boogeyman, whatever that is. Probably something something "piracy" etc. Paying/subs…

> There are some downsides. You can say that again. Just look at the John Deere debacle that's been happening for an exceptionally good example of why this is a terrible idea. Phys…

Which is exactly why most friends and colleagues have switched to uBlock Origin or similar plugins. Whitelisting is not the solution. Letting the entire industry die in the pit the…

People are being pedantic about the actual meaning of words as opposed to the commonly-understood-and-accepted meaning of words. It's annoying, because it distracts from the immedi…

"Soundcloud is fine and will be around for years, stop backing up all of the music". Didn't the CEO say something along those lines ~2 weeks ago when they forced the archive.org fo…

"They" are going to eventually realize that one of the primary draws and reasons for the early success of Netflix was the single-source-access to (at the time) pretty much everythi…

But why? It's a browser. All it should do (and do well) is display content. I don't want a bunch of extra garbage tossed in because it sounds good on some marketing slide. Chrome h…

"Nuclear" is not an economic disaster. "Nuclear politics" is, and has been since the technology first appeared. We have the technological capability to build perfectly safe, high-p…

This. All of my old hardcore MMO buddies were pumped up during the Kickstarter days and during the following development phase. Once Oculus took FB's "dirty money" though, every si…

Effectively does not matter if you aren't distributing. Format shifting shouldn't be illegal, regardless.
