possily running into b vs m key situation. if you have a laptop that was made during the transition period of sata based m.2 to pci-e based ones, knowing which key you needed is important.

would they not have to have evidence that a review is fake? especially if you bought a product (e. g on amazon) its very easy to verify you have likely bought a product and have it in question to review.

Ahh, the Dragon Hunter 2 situation

they would still be vulnerable. if you only care about security, you would be running a FPGA because anything fully secure would be slow, because speculative execution is inherently full of security flaws, and also the major reason why CPUs have any semblance of performance.

there are different methods of rounding, and this one is likely caused by the always round up method when at a .5 value. there are methods that evenly distribute rounding, or at least attempt to.

bungie hasnt been affiliated with microsoft for almost 2 decades now.

the whole point of destiny was microsoft wanted them to keep working on Halo, but they wanted to work on something else, so they bought their independence

i mean if you want chaos, program in whitespace

which sites ask for IDs?

the problem is aleays some person in marketing who tries to follow trends. For a good laugh, watch Derbauers recent video from computex about AI products and how many “AI” products were at the show.

part of the reason for that iirc is japan has different laws and management when it comes to it.

in context of steam, its usually because japanese managment to launch games on steam is a different person for global organizations, and is usually incompetent. sometimes, the reason is a tually laws about voice/music licensing rights specific to japan

you would upgrade the processor by upgrading the mainboard (cpu+mobo+heatsink) as a single item. module is used because there are a lot of parts on a framework that can be individually changed (usb ports, screen, battery, webcam, speakers, hinges, bezels)

using a computer traditionally was seen as a secretary job, so it was often dominated by women. its only as of post consumer computer events where a lot more males went into the field due to the large market it offers came in.

i mean its not like you cant go onto the mobile store and buy games like stardew valley or terraria. its just that pay to play games have taken a back seat due to the profitability of free to play games.

you missed the point of the article, its about apple basically giving users all their location data, and a hi vis jacket when shopping around such that anyone is allowed to access said information on where youve been. its apples fault for taping the website cookies to a unique identifier and allowing any website to access said list.

this has nothing to do with 3rd party apps, but how apple handles other stores in its own browser.

hence why i mentioned it was still a lot of money just liekly not on that magnitude given both price cut sales and googles 30% cut of sales.

at bare minimum, the dev has at least made 5 million probably post taxes for sure.

while still a lot of money, keep in mind, a decent amount of those downloads was bought on sale. in my own personal context, i only had bought it when it was 1$

its because people are too attched to using the native option. Theres nothing stopping people from using 3rd party start bars for years now. Conceptually to me, complaining about the start bar is almost akin to complaining about things in internet explorer, when 3rd party options exists.

Think how agressive Microsoft puts ads in edge. theres absolutely nothing stopping a user from switching browsers to ignore that. Start bar is the same.

the reason why the fallout story is very flexible on a any place no context story is because each individual vault has its own story, and stories are hyper regionalistic. so while all regions may share the same start (nuclear fallout of course) and prewar tech, what happens after is up to the writers imagination, as long as a writer doesnt pick an already existing vault number that already has a rule.

minor lore spoilers ahead: each vault was not built the same, all were a major experiment and had different conditions to see how humanity would adapt to different conditions presented to them.

this is why fallout is super flexible on where a story can start, game, or show wise. for example of something that won’t be in a game or show, Vault 68 was an experiment where what would happen if you put 1 woman, and 999 men in a bunker. Vault 69 was what would happen if you had 1 man, and 999 women in a bunker.

which is why ones better off with a modified Nvidia Shield or Apple TV to minimize data collection, if you arent using an HTPC for a streaming server. Not a binary system, its a game of whose doing it the least, and the TV companies have a huge incentive to collect money off the integrated stuff vs companies whose cost is moreso on the hardware, and make money off their intended subscription services (Apple One for Apple TV, Nvidia Geforce Now for gaming on the Shield)

isnt that why if you value privacy (or customization) youre supposed to not plug the tv to the internet and use your prefered streaming setup connected over hdmi. its ultimately a self inflicted problem of people using the built in stuff rather than take the time and setup an actual setup (that would stay the same between tvs as long as said device doesnt die on you)

then convenience is sold, especially if its free, then your data is going to be sold with it.
