That’s for the model with the M4 Pro chip. Mac mini with M4 starts at $599 (U.S.) and $499 (U.S.) for education. Mac mini with M4 Pro starts at $1,399 (U.S.) and $1,299 (U.S.) for …

They absolutely did. AOL in particular used a buffer overflow bug in AIM to execute arbitrary code to determine if the client was actually AIM or a third-party client pretending to…

Blocking accounts still prevents them from showing you promoted tweets. I think the only thing that stopped working was the ability to share and subscribe to block lists.

Well, your behavior differs from mine, then. When I quit and reopen the app, or choose one of my custom lists and then tap home, it switches to For You.

It happens whenever the app reloads. If you swipe up (on iOS) to quit the app and then re-open it, you'll see it start off on For You.

Yeah, I was aware of the different armor types in SC1, but I thought they turned it up to 11 in SC2. Maybe they brought it down to the first 2 tiers of units? It didn't feel like a…

Yeah I've felt the same way at times, especially when the armor/weapon types make it very rock paper scissors. It wasn't as blatant in the original StarCraft, but WarCraft 3 and St…

Back when I played it, there was a 50 game skill test for new players which determined which of the major rank pools you were placed in. Those first 50 games were crazy because you…

Somebody on Twitter estimated that based on how much banks are trying to resell their loans for, it’s worth about $8 billion right now. Disclaimer: I have no idea what this guy is …

Agreed, Siri is already a little too sensitive. I was raking leaves the other day and Siri muted my music temporarily because the swish swish sound of the leaves somehow activated …

Biden was saying "we'll make sure Nord Stream 2 never opens" while you were using that statement to insinuate that he was threatening both pipelines. Yes, both pipelines were damag…

You are correct that the issue is not yet resolved. However, throughout the course of Russia's illegal war, US credibility has improved and Russia's has plummeted. They lied about …

Russia did that. They've damaged/destroyed their own pipelines before in order to avoid penalty clauses in contracts or to get out of a bad deal after the price changed out of thei…

Was that Discovery? I thought that was the 2009 reboot movie.

One thing which I thought was hilarious was a scene with an elf walking toward a village. He knows the village is there; it’s his destination. He’s been walking toward it for the b…

This is pretty cool! Conceptually it's pretty similar to a classic Mac game I remember from the 90s called The Tinies. The goal is to get each "Tiny" creature to a bed of the same …

I had the opposite experience watching a vampire film called 30 Days of Night! For whatever reason my DVD player didn’t show any subtitles, even the translation from the Aramaic sp…

I wonder what this war is going to do to Russia's exports of military hardware. Not only can they not defend or re-supply themselves, but who is going to want their stripped down, …

edit: Oh, I think I may have misread what you wrote. You were being sarcastic and saying that the US proposed not to expand early on but no agreement was reached, and Russia is try…

Spigot/Paper servers can disable chat reporting with plugins, clients can disable sending signatures with forge mods, and servers can be configured to allow clients which don’t sig…

As you noted, the greater prevalence of right-wing violence, hate speech, and disinformation/misinformation causes the appearance of a moderation bias against conservatives. Howeve…

It hasn’t been good for a while even before the acquisition. I pinned it at version 6 because 7 was a massive downgrade in terms of features, stability, and performance.
