This would have been great if it was introduced 15 years ago when pretty much each phone model had it's own special charger, but not so much know when they're almost all entirely standardized. Except for Apple, of course. They&#x2

Obviously, we're still at very early stages with this tech. It's silly to compare it with smartphones and PCs, since it's a very different class of product. There are some barriers for entry but, as I said they will eventuall

"We've never fallen in love"? Really? This is he first time for me where an emergent new technology in the gaming world feels like a proper thing with actual potential, and not a just a novelty gimmick like motion controls, 3

I'm interested in how will WebAssembly affect the functionality of browser addons such as ad and script blockers?

Surely this is better suited for a blog post rather than a series of hard to follow twitter comments.

My experience with this is very different. I used to know a few kazakh fellows and their views on Borat were resentful to say the least. They said Sacha Cohen is a universally hated figure in Kazakhstan, along with the Borat movie itself, t

Despite once being my favorite game series and developer and I stopped caring about Half-Life and Valve sometime around when they made it obvious they only care about milking their vapid Dota franchise and they have no interest in developin

Where are you getting this data from? 2 years for a new CPU? My gaming pc from 2015 that cost just a little over $1k runs all recent games on ultra just fine.

As a user I am not interested in YT's profits. However, what I am interested in is being able to access useful content. For all intents and purposes, YT has become the central place for people to upload such footage and of course the p

So let's say you have an old YT account that you don't use anymore tied you your gmail account and there a few dozen family holiday videos you uploaded years ago to show friends (which was kinda the original purpose of YouTube) an

How is this a good thing? Obscure and/or old archive footage which usually doesnt get that many views is one of the best things about YT.

Again, a very different situation. First of all, these numbers are still very minuscule compared to the total population and territory of the USA - for example the UK alone accepted a little over 200k non-eu immigrants in 2018. Secondly, th

This is a very bad example. America is a completely different story as it is a stitched up nation (for lack of better words) from it's very inception and the societal and cultural dynamics are very different from those in Europe. Pleas

I can't tell if this is supposed to be sarcastic or just extremely naive wishful thinking. Could you provide at least one example of a successful such program?

So you're saying people should stop making free software just so some guy can make a profit off of his overpriced basic utility app? Don't get me wrong, I'm all for people making a profit from their dev work but when I see so

As I said, they're basically non-existent here, so they're definitely not an alternative for me.

I get a bit bewildered every time I see someone complaining about open offices as it always begs the question - what kind of alternative do they demand exactly? I have addressed this on many threads and comments but somehow I never gen an a

You're joking, right? I'm currently looking at the Mac Pro build page on Apple's site and literally every component upgrade costs nearly twice as much as if you got it individually - £360 to upgrade to a 1B pcie SSD (as oppos

Might be just me, but parts of this song sound awfully similar to "Welcome to the Black Parade" by My Chemical Romance.

Why is this being downvoted? It's a genuine question and I'm curious about it too.

I'd say that the abundance of (arguably) high quality derivative content is the worse option. Mostly because the alternative to that is not necessarily a lack of choice. In my experience, in recent years I've found to enjoy lot mo

You're saying that as if Marvel movies are some kind of pinnacle of creativity and quality. In fact, an argument could be made using those same movies as an example, that these excessive IP laws have the exact opposite effect and actua

This is sad. As someone who loves browsing the "hidden" side of YT where videos and channels with sub 3 and 4 digit viewcount lurk and discovering weird obscure content, this feature was a godsend. I have been able to contact user

Really? In my experience, blocking GTM almost always breaks some core functionality of the website I'm browsing.
