People who pay subscriptions are exactly the sort of people you want to advertise to the most since they've signaled they have money. It's like flashing a big wad of cash in a seed…

It's bizarre to me there are people cheering on the potential death of x86. Sure it has warts, but it is an accidentally created mostly-open platform we'll likely never see created…

In sounds like you have Firefox's fingerprint resist feature enabled. This confusion occurs every time this topic comes up because there are two different strategies used to attack…

After my wife stole (back) her high school alarm clock I wasn't satisfied with the replacements. But I picked up an old one for $0.25 at a market festival recently and am pretty ha…

This seems like the most difficult era as far as emulation of PC games goes. There was a ton of change and different 3D accelerators during this time and hardware advanced away fro…

Isn't flood insurance already nationalized? My understanding was about 100 years ago these properties in flood zones were deemed un-insurable by the private industry and the govern…

Microsoft should just double down again on the doubling down. That would be twice as good and really start to make some headway I figure. Maybe as good squared, I'm not an C-level …

Does that mean you can upload any old junk to prevent the account being deleted?

This is maybe indirectly a good thing. Cash has a lot of advantages from a privacy perspective and I feel like it has lost a lot of luster with younger people in general. This may …

Just tried this with VPN + firefox resist fingerprinting. I cleared cookies and session data and reloaded, it recorded 1 visit 1 ip for the first (obviously) and second tries. I di…

I asked the sales guy about this when I bought my 2019 Subaru and he was stumped, said no one had ever asked that before. But sure enough, the car could read flash drives similar t…
