This all rings true. Most search results are just bot-curated pages of answers copied from somewhere else, mixed with some low-quality posts of Reddit. Rarely you stumble on a treasure trove of links that someone put together in a list of Github. Maybe it's time for hand-curated web directories to start back up again.

Oh well, play another game I guess. The illusion that you "own" the game you paid for should've been obvious a long time ago. I think there is a good precedent that this will allow users to claim refunds if the game's system requirements are materially changed after purchase, though.

I don't understand how that could possibly be useful for anyone. Is this just a syndrome of ADHD or something?

I'd personally take it as a relief to have all that stuff cleared away. I accumulate all kinds of crap on my desktop, every year I take it all and move it to an "old" folder. If I don't need anything from it in a few months, it gets deleted. I don't even bother looking through it.

That's really sad. Have you considered therapy?

So long, and thanks for all the crackers?

Wow I didn't realize Slashdotters love parrots so much. Really makes you think.

Who funded this? What a waste of time. Makes for a great fluff piece, though.

Reminds me of ICQ. Remember when you could "shake" the window? I miss all those annoying, pointless features. Through enshittification we've lost a lot of the frivolous little things that made the Internet fun.

You mean this feature is designed solely to save Apple money? Shocker!

It is better for the way that most people use Google... not to search, but to ask questions. You get stupid answers now, and these may be wrong about 50% of the time, but at least you don't have to read as much!

Gee, what a coincidence!

This really needs to be passed. FEMA has made huge investments in maintaining AM radio stations in the event of an emergency power outage. Many AM stations have EMP-proof bunkers with generators that can run for months to maintain emergency signals. It's extremely shortsighted and stupid for automakers to eliminate this basic feature, all to save a few cents on components.

This is cool actually. I've noticed Duracell has already had the Bittrex coating for years now, which might discourage a kid from eating it. The blue dye is a nice touch though, because it helps with the question: "Did he really swallow that?"

Honey would encapsulate the battery and prevent it from short-circuiting in the electrolyte-rich environment of the stomach, preventing a potential gastrointestinal perforation.

It's when you get tricked into giving someone else the keys to your property and only being able to enter by calling and asking them to let you in.
