Funny, I agree with him because of things like Covid being self-inflicted. We're so unable, as a species, to avoid even known risks (yes, we've known about the risk of new Coronaviruses since SARS), prepare for them, or deal wit

It's hard to determine what our ancestors actually did. I'm sure you could argue any number of solutions they might have used. I'm wondering though what the prevalence is of these afflictions were back then or now in modern h

I don't think Biden could do that. It would be as bad as, if not worse, than another 4 years of Trump as president. It would mean that there are no standards by which a president is held accountable, and considering how many lives he h

Why is there a statute of limitations for government officials? This shouldn't be a thing when you're entrusted with the responsibilities that you are concerning an entire country and its citizens.

Currently working part-time as a PC technician. Recently had a 10 year old PC here that had to be upgraded to W10. Did Microsoft complain? Nope. I replaced the HDD with an SSD and it ran fine. I've done this with 10 year old laptops to

Unless you're on a device that can only be upgraded to 10.13, after which it won't get security updates anymore after 11 is released. Meanwhile, I can still put W10 on 10-12 year old PCs and it'll run fine (if the hardware wa

Afaik, there's an offline mode. It seems like you're forced to complete an online update before you're allowed to start the game proper though and you might be stuck with the original data on the discs even if you could skip

I agree it's not a great article. I wonder though - is there sufficient data out there to make a good article with the same title?

This might be unpopular, but if you don't feel like the compensation adequately reflects your effort, then you're free to do whatever you think is fair. It's your work. Slack isn't entitled to that work. Ideally, you&#

Unfortunately, we live in a world governed by money as a motivator. While you might not be in it for the money, many people are, to a certain degree (you know, to make a living and to be able to afford a decent life). If companies are unwil

What in god's name is with all the bootlickers in this thread? I have no love for Apple or Epic. But if this lawsuit leads to better treatment of third-party developers on the platform and Apple not being able to arbitrarily control wh

This is great, but to use it I need to sticky the bookmarks bar to the top of my screen when vertical space is already precious. Does anybody know something else that does the same thing without this issue?

I'm sure there are civilian experts and they absolutely should be involved, as well as elected representatives who are (preferably) guided by experts. Your average citizen has no business chiming in.

Have they said anything about pricing yet? This would seem like a decent solution for roaming data during travel too.

Let's go further. Make it a quiz about the general topic too. If you don't have any fundamental knowledge about a topic, your opinion shouldn't get a platform for it to spread.

I started watching some DCS dogfights on YouTube because of the last MSFS post. It looks incredible. If I could afford it, I'd definitely buy a stick/throttle and try to get into it. Particularly Growling Sidewinder has a lot of g

I'm really not sure what you're arguing. Military research needs to be funded always , because when war starts, it's too late. Civilian research needs to be funded always , because ... anything else would be insanity. Your

I get the line of thought and the idea of inflated military budgets but I'm not sure your average Joe should get any say in whether a new weapons system should be funded or not. They have no military expertise and no concept of what mi

If war breaks out, it's too late. Especially nowadays, where technology is crazy complex and it takes absurd amounts of time, effort and coordination to get something like a new fighter plane all the way from the drawing board into pro

Apple's misbehavior includes locking out competitors to their own apps. This is as if Microsoft started removing Halo competitors from the Xbox (which they don't do). Just because of that the case is much, much stronger against Ap

I have to agree. People will have to pry PDF's out of my cold, dead fingers. No way in hell am I going to ever switch to a web-based format. A PDF means that I know what I'm getting. A static document that can't do any fucker

Doubts, sure. Asking for more evidence isn't a problem. But 1) blaming the author and 2) insulting him with something baseless like "I found the article to be really naive in a Dale Carnegie kind of way, that probably appeals to s
