    It was sad to hear the fifteen minute warning on the intercom and to watch Gary lock up front for the last time.

    Maybe it's snooty holier-than-thou posts by users of password managers, lacking in substance or any real argument, that lets the majority of password users remain unconvinced.

    As the original footage was done on film, the time difference between the top and bottom of a single frame is zero, unlike a "rolling shutter" progressively scanned sensor. The fra…

    Citation needed. In my experience, running AoE2HD in Wine results in strange mouse errors at the start of a match which can ruin a game (where the screen is stuck scrolling to one …

    This might be the most offensive website with regards to layout and ad density. At least five ads, including one massive top-bar wanted to sell me on some TV show called "Happy". T…

    There is only one row. The one below the top is a strange and alien one called "number keys".

    I just received my T25. They are already unavailable in the US. I will soon be making a comparison video between the T25, my X62, and the old X300. I will say that the panel itself…

    Agreed, and I'm happy that I'm not the only person with this view on display density. I can deal with HiDPI displays if it allows me to to a 1:2 integer scale without losing too mu…

    I remember this not-so-fondly. This wouldn't be a problem for a game that is composited alongside the desktop in a "Windowed" mode, but for a full-screen application it is an "excl…

    Nvidia graphics with the actual binary drivers are great for Linux users. What are you talking about? Plus, this is a modern Intel-based laptop, so I'd strongly bet that it's imple…

    I can't tell if this is a troll post or if you are being obtuse, considering what this laptop is called.

    They didn't just take a game boy screen, this is the whole thing.

    This is not just the game boy screen, this is the entire GBA as a controller, with custom hardware in the cartridge slot. The GBA is a great embedded system. More power to them!

    The bloomberg website is full of wonderful '90s-esque animations that have a low-budget feel, certainly intentionally. It reminds me of the aesthetics of a Tim and Eric animation. …

    Joke aside, that didn't install a Windows program, and I'm willing to bet the WSL wasn't installed by default either, and I'll also bet that didn't work in a Windows command prompt…

    The Home/End usage on Mac OS seems completely worthless to me. I find Home/End useful for going to the start or end of a line respectively, so having it jump to the top or bottom o…

    I agree with you about a package manager being a good OS feature, but this is unnecessary snark when the two most popular operating systems don't come with a package manager (of th…
