It’s street art/graffiti. If someone wants to tag over it let them. Protecting this stuff with tax payer money is just stupid.

Even if the app is no longer using that memory it is not released until Windows thinks another app needs it.

> There’s still a world of difference between a MacBook touchpad and a windows one. My work laptop (18 month old dell XPS) can’t hold a candle to my 6 year old MacBook’s trackpad. …

Yes datacenters inccrease the prices here but they don't get a cheaper price then everyone else. There is a massive difference there.

The thing people are pissed about is giving better rates to datacenters. Compare this to most of Europe (and Texas if I understood correctly) where the detacenters buy their electr…

Until nvidia takes legal/financial responsibility for any accident caused by their self driving system it is not really safe.

There is currently no plan to deprecate V2 manifest in Firefox. And Firefox version of V3 supports browser.webRequest blocking (the part that adblockers need to work properly)

Put in the destination before start driving? CarPlay does not work at all if you have not enabled Siri. As in it won’t even connect.
