What with free will and all.

Then why do you allow people to sideload apps on Macs? What's the difference between a Mac and an iPad (which you literally advertise as a general purpose computer equivalent)?

Why is the decades old fake "big" MicroSD card scam alive and well?

Just search for "512gb microsd": https://www.amazon.com/s?k=512...

The first few are legitimate, followed by the fake "Hubmem", "NuiFlash", and "Alsinsen" cards. These will eventually get banned, and be replaced by others with different branding. The reviews on them are mostly fake.

It'd be one thing if this was a novel scam, but this has literally been constant on Amazon for at least a DECADE. At this point, Amazon, is a knowing and willing participant in this scam. This is fraud, being continuously committed by Amazon itself. How is this okay?

Microsoft's definition of innovation seems to be reducing user privacy and control over their own hardware and software.

What improvements has Microsoft made to their software since say 2015, when Windows 10 was released? Forced updates that commonly "brick" your computer overnighht? A start menu in the middle and the inability to run on 2-3 year old computers?

Governor Kate Brown responded to criticism by stating, "their is know raisin y pee pole shud half too reed right goodful."

Everyone knows the giraffe is the standard for extremely long necks. Article should say "giraffe like necks" not "crane like necks". :)

Pretty good so far but it's an odd use case, I just needed something stout to drive an 8K monitor, and wanted AMD for their superior and open-source Linux drivers. Best theory I've heard is it's an MSI card. Does have a metal backplate, no branding beyond "RADEON".

Does play Cyberpunk 2077 at 4K for hours without cooking.

The donor machine CPU is thankfully water cooled, as apparently the air-cooled R10 is horrid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

I did build my own.

I also bought a Dell Alienware R10, as it was *BY FAR* the cheapest way for me to obtain the 6800XT graphics card I needed for the system I built.

Statewide, average water use is roughly 50% environmental, 40% agricultural, and 10% urban, although the percentage of water use by sector varies dramatically across regions and between wet and dry years.

Reducing usage by 1.5% is a good thing. But I'm not taking shorter showers until I at least see a single blade of brown grass on Newport Beach city property.

Maybe it's us. Maybe we're the ones who do it.

On a somewhat related note, I hereby declare myself Emperor of the Galaxy.

Go ahead and be upset about this, you have only yourself to blame. You could have proclaimed it yesterday, but you didn't.

Any performance improvement in Chrome will only result in content and advertising companies throwing more garbage down the pipe.

Improving JavaScript performance simply improves the number of lines of code that can be executed while a website runs one core at 100% busy-looping/doing effectively nothing. Adware developers don't particularly care about your computer or the cumulative energy cost of operating their product.

All that Windows 10 needs is to have a bunch of things no one likes removed from it, e.g.:

• Forced updates.
• Forced advertisements/promoted items.
• Forced telemetry.

Just give users the ability to do what they want with it. Then they won't all hate you.

Never forget.

Apple has deployed a network with a billion sensors to detect the tags. There is no comparison. No one has done anything close to this level before.

And I by no means am suggesting that companies doing this to a lesser magnitude are "better".

I have no belief that telco doesn't know roughly where the phone is when the radio is on, that's plenty obvious.

Despite the severe violations of the four (three) major US carriers in recent years (for which they are being sued presently), they do have at least some duty to their customers based on contract and/or law.

It's a question of who gets the data though. Apps that have background location permission can't get your position when the location services are disabled. I consider these to be the greater threat. Hence GPS gets shut off. This is less of a threat modernly with the additional protections against background GPS use in later Android/iOS versions, but it's old habit.

Not 100% certain but think GPS is still going to required to determine if BLE devices are moving with you. Haven't played with accelerometer data much, not sure if they're capable of dead reckoning. Otherwise you're going to get saturated with alerts about devices in your home.
