This seems like a silly complaint to me. Epic's engine team isn't the one coming up with game mechanics - that's largely up to teams actually making games. Unreal may have some functionality related to commonly implemented me

CS:GO was literally made by an outside dev (Hidden Path). It's definitely unfair to say Valve's only additions have been monetization though, it seems Valve took over development pretty soon after the initial release and there hav

If the game is SteamVR-compatible, most VR headsets will work but generally the most common options are some variation of Vive/Rift/Index. That said, we don't actually know the requirements yet - as far as we know it'll

Seeing as apps like Signal and Telegram already exist and seem to do exactly what you say... What is different about Thread?

On individual channels it does, on an entire team it doesn't. You can mention a team itself (rather than a channel in that team) and there's no way to mute that afaik.

Aside from what was mentioned, you can also self-host perforce at a relatively low cost (provided you don't need more than 20 users, as that's all perforce's free license supports). I personally host a perforce server on goog

Yeah... I really want the i7 with 16GB RAM but there's no way I can pay for it.

Only problem for me is that price... $1499 starting price is a bit high for my tastes, though I'd love to have one otherwise.

I'd argue that the fingerprint sensor has no effect on your second scenario, as manufacturers could make a backdoor to send the government your normal password too. The fingerprint sensor doesn't make that bit any easier.

Aside from the wireless charging which comes as a surprise since the last few generations all had it, I feel like your points don't constitute much of a disappointment for the 5X. #2 and #3 haven't been a part of the Nexus line si

I have a setup in my apartment with speakers running throughout. The system is hooked up to a rack that contains a CD player, record player, and amplifier. For quite a while I've wanted to stream media to it but I haven't found a

Well, suicide pills are certainly possible. The question is whether any agencies use them. To that end I have no idea. I do question exploding molar implants, however... that seems like something straight out of a cheesy spy movie. If those

In my opinion, the Windows 10 UI is a bit nicer than Windows 8. There will always be conflicting opinions about UI changes. As for the tablet/desktop UI... Win10 is leagues ahead of Windows 8. All of Microsoft's apps work better w

Whatever your thoughts are on Vista, the changes pretty much had to happen. The old driver model was just that: old. Something had to give, and unfortunately a lot of companies weren't ready. Windows 7 cleaned up much of the UI, fixed

I agree that most of these features should be opt-in (Cortana is, at the very least), but most of the privacy options are in a central location in Win10. The problem is more that you have to know they exist in the first place, which is why

Chromecast is pretty much a dumb terminal, though. Almost all improvements come from apps supporting it, and on that front Chromecast has done very well. Also, for $35 you can't really beat what you get from a Chromecast even today.

Nope. Surface Pro 1 (and 2?) used Wacom tech, had 10-point multitouch, and the stylus didn't need batteries or recharging. The induction stuff that Wacom does is pretty cool.

By Google "verified", they seem to mean that the phone runs some tests on the network before actually connecting to the VPN, and disconnecting completely if the Wifi isn't up to par. It would be nice for them to confirm exact

It's not pre-approved APs as far as I'm aware, it's any public AP that has no password or landing page, and isn't manually set by you. If you have wifi assistant enabled, it will automatically try to connect to anything

Where is the proof that CF is doing anything remotely like what you say? All they've done is create a Github repo (which is many developers preferred platform) and say that they are moving to a more distributed governance model. All at
