So true. Pick your boogeyman (Muslims/Immigrants/Antifa/Trans/"Marxists"), pump the attack propaganda through all available media channels and hope no one mentions the billionaires. It's been awhile since

Define "fair price" 5090s are certainly expensive compared to most other GPUs, but not expensive enough to be unobtanium for nearly any professional who could utilize one as part of their job

Yeah, on larger monitors it's more common to run at the monitor's native resolution without scaling but even so macOS will not turn on HiDPI mode - you'd still need to do this explicitly via another app (I didn't even kn

In macOS display settings, what scaling mode are you using? This bug appears to only affect 4K monitors that are configured to use the maximum amount of screen space (which makes text look uncomfortably tiny unless you have a very large mo

I'd cancel either way, I'd just be less mad if they announced it ahead of time.

This seems very likely to be a mistake or bug. Spotify rolling this out without an announcement intentionally would be an incredible blunder. I'd cancel my membership immediately and I don't think I'd be alone in that decisi

I think the blog post is confusing in this regard. For example, it explicitly states: > We no longer had to deploy 140+ services for a change to one of the shared libraries. Taken in isolation, that is a strong indicator that they were

You did say that. You performed a stealth edit and modified your comment, but fortunately I quoted what you originally said in my previous comment: > But yeah... CoC applies to him too. So you've got a good point Since you’ve just

My first thought when reading the article is that the author would never attempt to call the person a monkey or loser to their face "in real life". One of the unfortunate side effects of the internet is that it really brings out t

Either way, people have options now. If one doesn't like the compromises of the thin phone, they can buy the thick phone. Seems silly to complain about the thinness if you're not the target demographic.
