I'm surprised so many people here don't have a desk/keyboard/mouse/multi monitor at home as well. I thought that was a pretty common setup.

I think it started in china/Japan, hit Australia a month later and now has become almost global.

It's more than that, Edge has far more DRM in it.

The difference is china could have contained it with minimal disruption. The only option italy had was to shut down all borders for the next 6 months.

Why even allow the sale in the first place. We don't allow the sale of faulty seat belts and say "well the consumer knew when they got it"

Because technology progresses faster than laws and by the time the laws catch up there are already powerful corporations established based on the lack of those laws. For example it…

It's not difficult to fix. It's just that corporations want you to throw out and buy a new phone every year. This is what happens when you let the same company make the software an…

Good VR is absolutely worth it. After getting a VR setup I haven't touched a single none VR game. I recently upgraded to a rx 5700xt and love it.

For the last point I saw that to heat the oceans as fast as we are it would take a nuclear bomb worth of energy set off every second for the last few decades.

Literally anyone who lives in the bay area has a choice to live somewhere else or work remote.

It's a copypasta. OP didn't make up the number 2 but I'm guessing it comes down to 2 being a tolerable number to most people.

I doubt it. My new gpu released in 2019 is 3x as powerful as my 2013 gpu but the new CPUs are mostly only improved in core counts. Rendering is also an insanly parallelizable task.…

It seems that people seriously struggle to understand how significant a single degree change in average temperature is.

It would be cool but they haven't done it and we don't have time to sit and wait. If we start self enforcing these rules on ourself then when it comes to election time people will …

Australia had the hottest year on record in 2019 as well as breaking the hottest day on record multiple times in the same week

I'm doing VR on a 6 year old i7 and it runs perfectly fine. Improvements come almost entirely from updating the gpu

How is google docs a terrible word editor? Do you mean that it lacking the advanced but rarely used features of word?

This is how some humans work. No one on my current team has ever expressed disatisfaction when their code gets changed.

Every time I have seen a feature that was written general to handle possible future uses, after a year of sitting unused there will certainly be modifications or surrounding code t…

The comment points out the rediclousness of the parent comment stating that you either pay $500 for medication or get run over by diy cars.

Vote kicks rarely seen to work because the rest of the players don't know what is going on. A vote starts and you think "wait what, what did they do" even if someone says "they wer…

Also virtually all cheaters will try to claim that they did nothing and the system just failed.

I had no idea these were an actual thing. I just figured it was some whacky street decoration. The ones in Adelaide, Australia are mostly cracked and ruined and seem to be filled i…

The policies have not changed. The fire department has said the weather has been too dry for too long and they are unable to do controlled burns like they used to.

The solution is obviously to punish and prevent all crimes even if none of them individually have much of an impact.
