Okay, that’s great. It’s been thirteen months since I tried it, also on a brand new (at the time) computer. I assume they’ve released a patch since then, and happy to hear it. I just didn’t realize.

I own the game on Steam plus all available DLC (bought in a Steam sale at some point). I installed it about one year ago on my new gaming laptop because it was one I never really played very much, and enjoyed the more recent games. I had to edit an INI file, change compatibility settings in specific way, and I think…

New Vegas mod? Man, it took me so long to get that game running on Windows 10, with digital spit and toothpicks, I’d be mighty scared of breaking the whole thing with any mod.

Just for clarity, even though it’s a stupid question, the Eric Holder accused of killing Nipsey Hussle is not the former Attorney General of the United States, right?

I’ve worked for a university and currently work at a non-profit. Both places, receiving any sort of “bribe” would immediately invalidate the applicant. I’ve been in a hiring role at for-profit company before too, and while I was never told any such rule there, I would certainly have avoided hiring anyone that did that.

Is “.....|HIDDEN” just how WiFi Analyzer shows hidden networks it detects, or does one of your neighbors think that’s a good way to “hide” his network?

“Dan Levy is best known right now for his portrayal of David rose in the beloved hit Schitt’s Creek”

Good plan. My previous phone was a Nexus 6P (used) and it had a battery life of about 4 hours. It’s designed with one of the most difficult to replace internal batteries this side of 1 Infinite Loop.

This is really cool. Wish there were more smartphone options. One is only available outside the US (Fairphone), and the Librem 5 doesn’t ship until Q3 of this year, with a disturbing number of “TBDs” in the spec list given we’re in Q2 now.

You’re entirely mistaken. The first free Switch Online offer is for three months of the service. After claiming it, you have to wait sixty days to claim the additional nine month offer (3+9=12). This is likely to prevent non-Prime members from signing up for free trials just to get a free year of Switch Online. But…

Point is that they’re reporting this so late that it barely counts as reporting at all, and the reason was pretty clearly just to get the associate ID out there.

Dang, y’all slow on the uptake with this one. This news is two days old, and sits right inside LH’s wheelhouse.

Still managed to stick the Lifehacker Amazon Associate ID into the link, though, huh?

Frankly, I quit Grammarly in short order because it seemed to have a (likely unintentional) anti-style agenda. I may use expressions that are dated, and I may sometimes say a thing in longer form than strictly necessary, but with years of writing experience I’ve struck a balance between expression and brevity.

This will probably work fine for most people. But, a lot of Lifehacker people are pretty techy, and will likely need wired connections for some of their devices, and may also need to use advanced options like port forwarding on the router. The later option could be arranged if they’ll share the router’s admin…

The solution, as the article covers, is not to stop buying palm oil, but to insist on the palm oil we buy being sustainably farmed.

Your casual induction of diet sodas in this article is extremely misleading. All of the substantive research described in this article refers specifically to sugar-sweetened beverages, and the single link used to justify the inclusion of diet drinks is to a write-up on one study that found a correlation between diet…

The Kevin Can Wait comment was meant as a dig. Maybe I should have used Big Bang Theory to be more accessible. Point is that it thrives on lowest-common-denominator appeal.

Wow. I don’t think I’ve met anyone before who wasn’t enamored with The Good Place. Sorry man, but they can’t all be Kevin Can Wait.

This is why none of us get in to the Good Place anymore.
