    Depends what you consider obvious - there's a parameter in the URL, I think called `tl`, which you can remove to get the original.

    The difference being, as far as I know, that `[[` is the real syntax. This from what I remember helps in avoiding certain class of issues, gives better error messages and is more c…

    Not always, though. For instance it won't work on YouTube ads. I'd call it a hack at best.

    It's an equivalent to not distributing the necessary DLLs in Windows, which is something that I've definitely seen happening before as well.

    The more "fun" thing these days is when you can't cheat in _single_ player, because that eats into DLC sales :)

    The date where you failed a reverse Turing test. A Gnirut test, if you will.

    What worked for me was disabling the feature of keeping the TCP connections alive. No idea if it's covered by 'networkoversleep', but this is as deep as I've went, considering I've…

    This could be an interesting alternative. Any ideas for a sport that anyone could enjoy easily? I wouldn't expect most people having fun with a tennis match for example.

    You can have false allegations without having to go one-on-one with people just as well. That's the thing with the false claims.

    Yes, standard library. I understood the poster above you to suggest they shouldn't be a part of language by that's used by default, for sure though it would be convenient to have c…

    It doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere: the reason this article has emerged right now probably has to do with the 100 years since the end of World War I coming in a few days - No…

    It used to be the case that these checks are not in place when you're using 2FA. The downside is that you cannot use it without using a phone to register in the first place (though…

    If the question is remaining unanswered for a while, it's probably beyond open-new-tab kind of timespan to answer it.

    I don't know how it looks technically, but it's often highlighted that many digital sales are actually in form of a lease (or right to use), and not an actual purchase of a product…

    Which ones? There was quite some improvement since the release; also you need to consider that some particular types of software don't work well yet (some games related to XNA/.NET…

    Some games have very bad performance. VR games are noticeably slower than in Windows (but I've heard this being the case for native games; haven't tried, cause there weren't many).…

    A bit tangential because of my interests, but it makes me wonder why they ordered 'Foundation' series. It would seem they might want to 'break the ice' with some original content, …

    Agree here. People are very proud, national symbols everywhere, local dialects thrive. So why not!

    Never checked if it was NTFS issue, but it felt like logical explanation - when starting Stronghold Crusader through wine on Linux, loading took like 0.5s, compared to 10s or so on…

    I expect it has, given the repository owner studies in France and is likely using French locale.
