That’s very sad. I enjoyed his contributions to PC Mag and TWiT.

They are disabling PS3 store access, and if I remember correctly, you could purchase digital games on the PS3.

I cannot believe how ridiculously heavy this stuff is. On my corporate laptop with a modern i7 and 32GB RAM (running Windows plus Crowdstrike, Zscaler, and probably some other junk…

Ironically, I think the Apple TV is the best streaming box out there. Apple is both the manufacturer and a streamer in their own right. And they definitely privilege their own stor…

If you stop having a period for a few months and then start again, it may be worth buying some location data during that time to see if you were near any medical offices that may h…

He should have been touching the wheel. Tesla nags you if you don't exert varying force on the wheel, so it's not possible for him to not touch the wheel during the trip unless he …

Apple requires notorization for applications outside their store too.

This sort of stuff continues to ramp up as everyone rushes to train LLMs while governments are pushing for ID verification that would make it impossible to use the web (or even one…

Traveling with kids in car seats via any method other than one’s own vehicle is almost not worth the hassle. I always rent a car and car seat on the other end, or purchase a car se…

It depends on your role. People in sales have it open all the time since it's a legitimate research tool for them.

They never got Office or any Adobe (or similar) apps working, which is a huge miss.

I’m sad because the WiFi on my M1 MBA is dying/dead and there’s no way to replace it without swapping the whole “logic board.” Apple also doesn’t support any USB WiFi adapters in r…

I've noticed this as well and it's infuriating. It's extremely unintuitive and I constantly find myself missing the resize zone.

See Spyware: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malware "Programs designed to monitor users' web browsing, display unsolicited advertisements, *or redirect affiliate marketing revenues*…

The DFI LanParty UT Ultra-D (Socket A) is my favorite motherboard of all time. It was basically purpose built for overclocking. I got to a stable 250Mhz (500Mhz DDR) on that board …

It actually does fall under the definition malware. Specifically, Honey hijacks affiliate marketing tags and replaces them with their own. This falls under the definition of the “s…

Unfortunately, it’s impossible to donate to Firefox development. Donations to Mozilla expressly do not got to pay for Firefox since Firefox is for-profit and they’ve decided to not…

It would be great to patch the v2 apps into an "offline mode." Then you don't have to worry about maintaining the license servers.

The original M1 was released in base form before Pro/Max/Ultra variants. I think that pattern may have repeated for M2, but I'm not sure.

I have a Samsung QD-OLED monitor from 2023 which has very noticeable burn-in at low brightness levels. This is from the era of "OLED burn-in has been solved," and it's soured me on…

QA then was taken pretty seriously because, unlike today, they could not just issue a patch over the internet and expect their users to find, download, and install it. Much of the …

Yeah, it's crazy that when you register to vote, the DMV turns around and sells that contact information on to any political campaign/operation that wants to pay for it.

My thoughts exactly. This is what Google have promised to implement starting next year.
