That's because Jobs was too stubborn to actually die, and his will is actually powering the reality distortion field to this very day, even though his body is a skeleton, much like the God Emperor of Mankind.

I wonder how many Apple Care employees are secretly sacrificed every year to keep Jobs alive and the field in operation.

Newegg is all but dead, B&H and Amazon both offer the same or better selection for cheaper prices, and they also will send you new product, not re-shrinked refurbs they try to pass off as new.

Oh, but they do face consequences, in that I and many others refuse them jobs if they need one, or refuse to use any service or good they provide if they provide a service or good.

This is not exciting clickbait however, so such things rarely get posted in some flashy font by some hack blogger posing as a journalist at the New York Times.

It is when it's kept static, and not set for a daily recheck (and possible manipulation from MITM), unlike those in Pocket.

So is Slashdot if you browse with none of the Karma filters ;)

Yes, but only a fool uses the defaults, which by default, do not also block malware domains, which tack on another several hundred thousands rules.

No they won't work just fine, because Google is intending to only allow such functionality to work for their paying enterprise customers.

But that's the best part. I don't think anyone wants the excitement of the opening scene from Arachnophobia to happen to them. I'll take uneventful trip to collect flower specimens over "I just became a spider's dinner." any day.

The biggest two blames are anything loading a ton of JavaScript (especially telemetry scripts, as opposed to ads) and HTML5 video, which every knucklehead webdev wants to preload in the background before the site has even finished loading, and you can get why this is stupid when they also have HTML5 video ads on top of whatever video it is they are loading in their main page. It's amazing how much performance gain you get from blocking both.

That's because FO4 has a rather crappy garbage-collection and memory alloc/dealloc mechanism. For some unknown reason, they reverted to the one used for the engine in Oblivion and FO3 instead of using the one in Skyrim. FO76 uses the one in SkyrimSE that was updated from the Skyrim codepath. My guess is that whomever was working on that part of the game was pulling from an older repository which they then patched, which we've seen them do in FO76, hence the reversion bugs every other patch.

The thing is, is that they did both, and did it rather brazenly knowing they could get away with it due to their funding of Mozilla.

Right now we're all in the same boat with their stupid AMP situation. Their solution? Another propriety blob of shit that will force every website to adopt it or else.

I am of the opinion that it should go one giant step forward, in that if you are providing a copyrighted service such as a game and cease to continue to provide it to paying customers, that within reason, it should immediately enter the public domain. And by within reason meaning, at most a five year gap between the end of production servers and the entire thing entering the public domain, from code and music, all of the way to artwork and any customized documentation and toolchains used to create it.

Denying the public the ability to use things locked up behind draconian Disney Mouse Laws they are willing to pay for is a cultural crime and has lead to hundreds of thousands of creative works languishing in limbo, most never to see the light of day ever again.

But it actually can be theft of IP if they are applying for grants to develop novel process methods,and those methods are described in the grant application and review, which I can almost guarantee some of these were if the NIH was this up in arms over it.

Take that up with BREIN, as they insisted a long time ago that German citizens be subject to Geo-fencing for content.

That's easy, because before, China had a massively expanding manufacturing base, and they offered a premium for all of those materials, so that everyone from Huawei and Apple to Walmart would get their products made, as well as rapidly expanding cities, where construction companies were given incentives to use recycled materials in everything from window seals to door stops. This is no longer the case. China no longer has a rapidly expanding manufacturing base, in fact it has started to shrink as it has started to outsource domestic manufacturing to places like Vietnam.
