I would argue that Steam and Homebrew users are relatively niche portions of the userbase, and that they would be more likely to own newer systems. Neither statistic comes from a s…

I really despise this kind of thinking, this "optimization" that only serves to benefit the people at the top who hoard the fruits of other people's labour. Why is your solution to…

Interestingly enough, the original Backrooms creepypasta was cited by the creator of Severance as one of his inspirations for the show.

The cloud isn't the only other option, they could still own and run their own hardware but do it in a proper colocation datacenter.

I think it would end up exactly like the last time they tried that with the mobile-oriented Windows 8. Nothing has changed since then that would make an attempt any easier. Windows…

"fundamental rights" implies an ideological belief that those rights should exist for all humans, regardless of whether any country recognizes them or not.

I think that if the main goal here was speed, they'd just be using Thunderbolt instead of creating this solution that seemingly only uses regular USB3, and I'm very interested to h…

Considering how much higher-end gaming mice can cost these days, $144 CAD for a niche mouse really isn't that bad in comparison.

They're using it to receive data from the continuous glucose monitor and to run Android APS, which is an open source closed loop 'artificial pancreas' system. Some pumps (like the …

I think this is just Google Assistant being Google Assistant - It's awful at playing music, I've had Google Assistant play remixes, cover versions, or the right song but playing ou…

I used to work at a Canadian KFC and it's just like you guessed, occasionally we'd have a special sandwich for sale for a limited time that had strips of bacon on it. Normally we w…

I don't buy that hijacking a plane and disappearing it and covering it all up, in the process generating extreme publicity, is anywhere near a practical method of kidnapping a pers…

I really liked my old 2013-era HP Elitebook, but honestly every other HP laptop I've come into contact with (and I used to see a lot at the laptop repair shop I worked at) has just…

Does anyone else feel like this is basically a bunch of nonsense 'advice' designed to lull the public into a false sense of security? Especially considering this is coming from the…

The Car Thing is using the same voice control that used to be in the app, it's the only way you could still use their voice control up to now.

Hardly an alternative unfortunately. The biggest benefit of the Car Thing for me was flawless voice control that leagues ahead of Google Assistant, the Car Thing was much more than…

Really upset by this, I love my Car Thing and the voice control Spotify built into it is second to none - it's quick, always hears me perfectly even with noise in the car, and most…

Seems to me like it's not. I rarely hear about it, I've never seen anyone link to a Bluesky post, and it has weird limitations due to it being on top of a new federated protocol (w…

I think this is at least better than nothing for companies who want to build standalone headsets and not just headsets that are dependent on PCs. Up until now everyone's had to mak…

Actually, I'm pretty sure that binaries for Python 3.9 aren't available on Ubuntu 20.04 without adding an apt repository to get them from, so your statement that you "can apt insta…

This is the only reason I have Yuzu installed - I own Tears of the Kingdom legitimately but the Switch is such a piece of underpowered, overpriced junk that I'll never replay the g…

While that's a fair point, I also have to wonder how much of that is actually lost sales, vs. people who wouldn't have bought the games otherwise, or didn't have a Switch to play o…

Nintendo's been a horrible company in this regard for ages. Personally I've never given them money besides for Tears of the Kingdom when it released - I don't even own a Switch, I …
