    Yeah, far be it for me to expect a 2.76 TRILLION dollar company to actually innovate within a single year. My apologies for having such expectations. And my brain is the one rotted…

    Whatever I please. It's irrelevant what I may use it or not use it for. The point is that the technology now is far past USB 2 (and has been for some time despite Apple's persisten…

    So the only compelling reason to upgrade from the 14 is...USB-C, where people are saying the 15 (non-Pro) runs at USB2 speeds? This was one of the most lackluster Apple launches in…

    I did. Right after Musk took over. Doesn’t mean I can’t also have an opinion on the matter.

    I love how this is justified by "everyone is doing it so it's okay." That's the bandwagon fallacy and I don't buy it. Twitter (I will not call it X, because that's just stupid), is…

    Occam’s razor would suggest he’s simply incompetent.

    With some of the best acting in both Andreas Katsulas and Peter Jurasik, the character development, and the various production woes, I’d say it’s a pretty great series, too. But we…

    So it's a tutorial where the goal is to be able to take a screenshot, post to Reddit, and feel cool. There are a few pieces of good information, but it's for people learning Linux …

    You'll find, as I have, that laptops and Linux distributions/DEs don't always play well together (lid closing/reopening, suspend/hibernate, keyboard backlight, function key alterna…

    That is just normally how it works, at least in a browser, has nothing to do with this app.

    No, it isn't good. Despite what some on the political spectrum try to say, the Internet has become a basic human right. It is required in schools in America. In many cases, it is r…

    Thanks for posting this. I was not inclined to respond after already providing information that he could have viewed when time afforded him. Here's hoping he has time to read a Wik…

    Hopefully this will drive businesses off the platform and Twitter will become a thing of the past causing billions being lost by Musk and anyone else who think his idiocy was good …

    Then Reddit can and should charge that to the user directly. Not screw over app developers like this. Perhaps you should read Christian’s post on Reddit [1] where he described, in …

    Well I know where I'm visiting soon! I used to see movies in that complex when I lived in Roswell. I'm still relatively close. Thanks for this information, had no idea!

    Wow, you downvoters are harsh. Okay I learned my lesson not to assume someone has a phone or PC next to them and can simply flip a switch in a matter of 30 seconds. Cool.

    I was thinking the same thing. I'm surprised it's taking this long, honestly. He's such an icon and major player in the history of the computer industry. Edit>> Though I suppose th…

    And in my day, if I recall correctly, it took a good dozen or so XML files to describe and configure a single EJB. Thanks, JOnAS. I still have hate in my heart. And now ORM in Java…

    All this does is point out that smart people worked at Twitter who may now no longer work there, whether on their own accord, or due to Elon’s bulldogging tactics. Elon thinks he k…

    First off I have hardware transcoding so that’s not an issue. Second, all of my 1080p direct stream to my AppleTV and do not transcode. I changed no default settings for this. As f…
