I also heard Psyonix was considering bringing Rocket League to the platform. If they do, that would be another very good reason to get it. But I agree that BotW would be the only r…

For some input from someone who's never been a Zelda fan (me), when watching this game, I think I understood the hype. Previous Zelda titles never interested me, but this one looks…

Like any other hosting, if it's in the US, it must be considered compromised in these terms. That's the world we live in now.

I use this combo whenever possible, though the number of services yet supporting FIDO/U2F is still a bit disappointing. It's been incredibly convenient to be able to use my bitcoin…

Quaker oatmeal is sugary? I thought it was simply "oats". I've never noticed any sugar that I haven't added myself.

I can imagine this being made illegal when mass physical shop tracking becomes the norm (more than it already is).

I'm not sure why you would say something like that. The original TextSecure and Redphone apps were exclusively on Android until it got bundled into a single app and released as Sig…

What about a lifestyle where you have time to take a break, but you don't want to spend that break preparing, eating, and cleaning up after food? You'd rather spend it, say, readin…

> It's not just eating it, it's all the flavours and ingredients and cooking with friends and loved ones and parties and such. One possible angle for explanation is that if you're …

Lenovo Thinkpad T-Series here, all hardware functional out of the box. Additionally, any Dell I've tried it on works just fine (XPS 13 has explicit support for it, too). In fact, i…

Not to mention we have little means to increase our understanding, because the code is closed-source proprietary (along with everything else).

Judging by his comment, it doesn't seem he's advocating for forcing a private entity (or at least this particular one) to do anything "against their will". Instead, he's moving his…

Given the Cato Institute is a libertarian policy think tank, I'm not sure how the second group would maintain that idea.

Very easy to use Circle to purchase bitcoin with a regular card, then move that bitcoin to your own external wallet. I can recommend this as a smooth experience.

How is it so ruinous? It's a fairly bog standard way to say "naïve", "ill-advised", and so on. Hopefully you wouldn't let the rest of the content be overshadowed or dismissed by a …

Looking at projects like this, it almost looks like Google is actively seeking to become some kind of additional branch or agency of the government -- one with powers to do what th…

Don't forget that they're also entirely complicit to NSA demands for live access to data as well, per the somewhat-recent leaks. That's another level of evil above regular profit m…

Not OP, but laundry for me consumes about that much time, since I swing by a local (self-service, in my apt complex) laundromat to drop things in the wash, which takes a couple min…

The US Constitution must blow your mind, then, because that's largely what it does.

I'll admit that I went with a Thinkpad T430 over a Macbook Pro partially for this reason (I was also planning to run Linux on either, and I could get all-Intel on the Thinkpad). I …

Bonus if it has solitary confinement facilities and staff trained in modern torture techniques.

He was denied the ability to travel (US revoked passport) while making a connection in Moscow. The US's actions trapped him there -- it was not his destination. Do you believe he h…

I'm ready for ornithopters if you are. And then heighliners.
