SteamCMD doesn't strip Steam DRM - even with files backed up (which the Steam GUI will do, no need for SteamCMD), you wont be able to use them without an internet connection and authenticating with Steam every now and then. GOG's

You've always had the _option_ of paying extra for unlimited data, however its only in the past month or two that they've started offering unlimited data as standard (in select markets). https://arstechnica.com/tec

I'm all for the DSA as well, but this argument doesn't hold water. Any sufficiently large cloud provider alternative (ie. Google, Microsoft, etc) would likely be the target of similar government instructions. In fact, I bet they a

So, this seems like an alternative to things like Apple Pay and Google Wallet. What's the benefit of the banks? Bigger cut of the transaction fees somehow? I must admit, I use Apple Pay whereever possible, I'll even temporarilly s

This (or, PainStation v2) visited the student union at Abertay University a good 15 or so years ago. I played it on many occasion. One aftertnoon I played with a particularly competitive friend of mine. I am also competitive. The game went

They're not non-existent, I work with a few myself. But generally I've found that they're single, live by themselves, and enjoy the social interactions of meeting coworkers in person. (Of course, there will be exceptions to t

That's not what the OP claimed at all. Paper tickets still exist. A mobile phone is not requisite. People can choose the option that works for them.

No, that's the second link - generated data, separate from tweets. Tweets alone generate petabytes of data a year. https://ankush-chavan.medium.com/twitter-data-storage-and-pr... Also, many people would disagree that s

It does not fit on one machine. Tweets alone generate petabytes of data a year, and other events are petabytes per day. https://blog.twitter.com/engineering/en_us/topics/infrastruc... https://ankus

You're not taking into account data, you're only talking about features. What about when the data no longer fits on the one machine? Or processing the data exceeds the capacity of the machine? Data growth through user growth or ju

Just to clarify, Mindstorms has had many iterations. I believe what you're referring to is Mindstorms 1.0 (RCX). It's had three successors in the past 20 years or so - NXT, EV3, and most recently, RIS. The most recent iteration is

That may have been your intention, but your statement of "environments where people aren't curious" comes across as putting the blame on the people themselves. As has been stated elsewhere, often times engineering is lacking

You're correct, just checked my receipt, it was 16GB. I upped it to 32GB with my new laptop.

I bought my 2013 MacBook Pro with a 1TB SSD and 32GB of RAM, with the highest specced i7 at the time. I sold it last month to pick up a new 2021 MacBook Pro M1 Max. I bought it with 32GB RAM and a 1TB SSD because I don't need anymore,

You're forgetting the set design in the first place. All the knockoffs do is copy the set with their own bricks. The few other brick manufacturers that design their own sets are clearly inferior in set design. Even Mega has a long way

I find it similar to the two currently in-vogue uses of the world "Metaverse" - you've got the crypto/web3 people using it to describe a world where NFT's are usable and recognised across software (ie. Armor you buy

I find this pretty funny - I can't imagine carrying more than two cards around with me on a daily basis. In fact one is just a backup. I do of course have many more cards; one of the downsides of the credit system in the US is how you

You still can, but that's for pentests _targetting_ AWS hosted infrastructure. They've always frowned upon using AWS to target _other_ services, however.

Literally everybody in my company (a large enterprise) uses a laptop as their main workstation. They work with them docked at their desks, but then unplug them to take them to a meeting room, a shared working space, etc. Outside of work, 90

I believe the money owed to Apple is a seperate concern, raised from their apparent breach of contract. At the time Fortnite was available on the App Store, the Apple In-App Purchase mechanism was the only contractually allowed method of pu

Except, Google Reader died in 2013, and RSS lives happily on. It's rare I come across a website without an RSS feed. They don't advertise it, but it's there - I presume because whatever CMS they use supports it (WordPress, et

Focus can be set automatically in the desired field using Javascript, and tricks can be done to hide that field too - ie. set opacity so it's transparent, etc. You can make it work pretty smoothly for the end user. Some of the original

I find this funny - Dogecoin has as much value as Bitcoin. It still takes energy (and therefore money) to mine, and the resulting "coin" has value - that being how much someone is willing to sell it for, and how much someone is wi

You're not wrong, but neither of those devices come with any games (unless you buy a flashcart, which is piracy). The Playdate cost includes 20 games by (relatively) well known indie game developers.

Temescal, Macarthur, Lake Merritt. Piedmont and Rockridge are pretty good too, but on the calmer side. Downtown Oakland is like downtown SF - I wouldn't go there for nightlife either. I'd go there for shopping. EDIT: The blocks ar

I moved from SF to Oakland last year during the pandemic, and honestly, Oakland is just as great as SF for restaurants, bars, and nightlife... as long as you have a car or method of transportation.

I used my own cable modem with Xfinity for this very reason. The more annoying part is if your cell service is with Xfinity Mobile - their sim makes your iPhone automatically join Xfinity public hotspots, and there seems to be no way to tur
