Well since they don't have birth certificates I guess they're undocumented people and that would be bad mmkay.

Not to mention the charging infrastructure is one of the reasons some people haven't made the switch yet. Anything holding back charging expansion is a disaster in my view.

There was a NASA lady on StarTalk recently talking about how there's something like 360,000 more satellites planned/approved to go into orbit and it's going to completely erase the night sky. We're at something like 7700 currently.

And the irony is the hard right just voted with the Democrats on something - which is exactly the problem they had with the funding bill.

UHD Blu-rays still have value and relevance. This is unfortunate.

Someone there wants to go back to 20+ years ago when your friends mom's Internet Explorer windows included 75 different toolbars and there was only a little bit of browser space left. The hayday of "Buddy Bar" is returning for your Edge, Outlook, and Taskbar. Next will be explorer and Excel. The future is looking bright.

Not only Asus, it talks to general ways to understand warranties and rights across the industry.

This attitude is terrifying to people who handle national security information. Just because you might have authority to declassify something doesn't mean you should. It's reckless and irresponsible to expose sources and methods unnecessarily - not to mention the information itself. There's a reason that declassified documents still have a lot of redactions.

This type of stuff is usually in a very controlled environment with significant physical security - not a bathroom.

I would have probably bought it if it were on steam but alas it was not and turned out to be mediocre anyway. Loved the original series

Yeah I seem to remember an NPR interview he did where they gave him "the packets" they captured of a malicious actor communicating with voting equipment and the files were Word documents that somebody typed a bunch of gibberish into and renamed the file extension.

There was some discussion on Marketplace on NPR saying they might just end up reducing prices during slow times to attract more people but if that's their plan then their communication of this has been disastrous. If they actually raise prices during peaks then they're fucking greedy douchebags and fuck them all.

Yes but according to Alito, Congress has no power over the supreme court so that act is moot and anyone can just make up a number.

"It's coming right for us!" -South Park hunting episode

Derek Chauvin... The guy who killed George Floyd.

I worked in retail as a college summer job and someone let their cart loose and it cracked a light on my car. The security tapes confirmed it. I was parked way off to the side with the other employees and the cart gained some momentum on its way.

Another similar test is when someone changes their mind on buying something if they return it to its original spot or just dump it on a random shelf. This is another thing that I really hated dealing with in retail.

I'd be down for something like this replacing the current RGB LED strip fad. It's got so much potential to be both useful and badass cool at the same time.

If only they'd cut the shit with iMessage

They need that extra space to cram in more ads!

My goodness Grandma I'm not that hungry I swear

Can never be too sure if it's going to stay lit after the fluid burns off so it's always encouraged to add extra.

The one folder where this is really painful is the WindowsApps for Windows store stuff. I had one situation where I reinstalled Windows and I had a couple of hundred gigs of games in a WindowsApps folder. The new install wouldn't use the folder, so it became wasted space. The new install also wouldn't let me delete / reclaim the directory no matter how much dicking around with permissions I did. I think I had to kill it from either Linux or a USB Windows installer command prompt.

They laid off quality control.

Yeah it's there now but wasn't when it first launched.

It's worse than that. Carriers have a say as well. For example, Samsung messages works with RCS in some markets but US providers currently lock it out. They only allow Google messages for RCS. Absolutely infuriating.

I absolutely abhor when they say "gig speed network" like they want to say gigabit but they know it isn't and make up some bullshit term that sounds similar. Every time I hear a commercial for it I get irrationally angry.

I'm so glad I'm not alone in this opinion. It's absurd.

It's really fantastic on SHIELD pro for playing stuff from a NAS. This newest release finally has full Dolby vision support.

Of all of the bullshit tech out there I'm not sure why you chose ray tracing to pick on. I remember how cool stuff like pov-ray was in the 90s and how cool it would be to have good lighting in real time some day. It's kind of here now and it adds some flair to certain games. Far from essential but it's more interesting than the bullshit "innovation" that happens elsewhere these days. Phones are miserable for this.

The S9 was a solid choice and came with expandable storage, a headphone jack, and a notification LED - which I miss dearly... but by goodness is it slow as hell and stopped getting security patches.

The picture quality isn't as noticeable to me as the additional HDR and spatial sound that tends to be included. Even with that, any Blu-ray is significantly better than streaming.

Welcome!

After all that you get to tinker around with their shit VPN client that only works during one phase of the moon.

Yeah I usually watch YouTube on my shield and it clutters up every channel with junk I have no desire to watch.

I managed to fiddle around with my work Dell laptop and disable that nonsense. I think it was called "modern standby". I don't understand why this isn't considered a fire hazard. It was terrifying to leave my laptop in my backpack until I figured out the fix.

Yahoo came before most search engines. Then there was lycos and webcrawler and the early search engines that were always overloaded, then came stuff like Google.

Also don't forget stuff like prodigy and compuserve and bbs's before the web had much content.

This is how it should be. A tool to help people be more productive and effective at their jobs.

The Longest Journey / Dreamfall / Dreamfall Chapters. Absolutely magical games.

I've found that the Steam Deck is great for playing AAA remotely. I have a high spec PC and use Steam remote play, or Chiaki for PS5 remote play. It's a bigger investment but it definitely keeps the Steam Deck more relevant even for titles that don't run natively.

I'm sure that's a factor in exploration but the engine doesn't prevent them from adding a more interesting story, lore, and decent voice acting.

I'll take one of those as well but throw in a microsd slot if you could be so kind
